This apartment was perfect for a quick weekend getaway with a beautiful view of the lake and a hot tub. We enjoyed being in a quiet remote location but also be close to Biltmore and Asheville.
The place is great. A deck overlooking a valley and seeing the nearby mountains. A hot tub and plenty of space in the unit. Jan and Dave are both very friendly and great hosts.
Jan was very kind and helpful and communicated very well. There was a massive misunderstanding about the house occupancy and we did not stay because we required different accommodation. Jan helped us find a last minute alternative and provided excellent advice.
Well furnished home with absolutely gorgeous views! Great area for mountain walks. With minimal traffic.
Enjoyed the town of Black Mountain; quaint shops and good restaurants.
Hosts are very accomadating and friendly.Highly recommend!
We had a great time at the Mt. Admirals Retreat. There were beautiful views and a lot of peace and quiet. It was great to meet the hosts, they provided all we could need and ask for. The only problem was that we couldnât stay longer.
We loved our stay with Jan. The apartment was so clean and welcoming with a large private patio overlooking an incredible view. Great place for a rainy or sunny day of which we had both. Jan was an amazing hostess and treated us to dinner our last night which was most appreciated. Be aware the drive into the driveway is steep, but worth it!
We loved everything about our stay at Mt.Admiralâs retreat! The home is very clean, kitchen is fully stocked, and the view is spectacular. Black Mountain is a quaint mountain town with great coffee and restaurants, shopping, and hiking nearby. This was the perfect retreat to reconnect while playing games, reading, and chatting by the porch fire pit or in the hot tub. The hosts are friendly, knowledgeable about the area, and helpful. We hope to return soon!
Our stay at Mt Admiral's Retreat was fantastic; the space was just as advertised and the hosts have done some simple but delightful things like having lots of lights on dimmers and having all the bulbs the same warm color temperature - things that many may not notice but contribute to a romantic getaway for the weekend. We enjoyed our stay and we encourage you to book yours today.
This apartment was exactly what we were seeking. It was immaculate and the view is gorgeous. The firetable and hot tub overlook the mountains and it is completely private. The hot tub was so so clean. We were barely aware our hosts were upstairs, and were very responsive.
Mt. Admiralâs Retreat was the perfect place for our anniversary getaway. A very private and secluded mountain setting amongst the trees with a gorgeous view of the mountains. The accommodations were well equipped and super clean. The bedroom had a very comfortable king bed and there was plenty of space with a full kitchen, living room, a sitting room, all with an outside panoramic view. We enjoyed having our morning coffee on the outside deck listening to the turkeys while gazing at the mountains. The host was most helpful with recommendations for activities and restaurants. After a full day of exploring Asheville and Black Mountain we relaxed on the private deck with cocktails by the electric firepit and finished the day soaking in the hot tub. It was a great weekend, and we hope to return.
Beautiful scenery. We even had a visiting cub every day and night. So sweet! Clean and quiet space. Hot tub under the stars was great. We had a great, quiet, and relaxing trip.
Everything was beautiful & pristine. (Including allergy free.)
A gorgeous place to relax & unwind.
This host provides for all your needs with meticulous detail.
We definitely did not want to leave & look forward to coming back.
We highly recommend.
Would have been nice without the unfriendly greeting.
The property is nice, it's in a beautiful location, the place was clean with a nice view. And the property management company was very professional and easy to work with.
Unfortunately on arrival I first noticed when in the deck I could hear the owners, who live above, talking and walking around. Inside you can hear every noise, waking, dog... because they're upstairs. There's nothing relaxing to me about sharing walls with strangers.
But what ruined the trip was when I went to walk my dogs the owner came out to let me know my type of dogs, not hypoallergenic, weren't allowed, the property management company never asked or said anything about the types of dogs allowed.
The owner was clearly irritated and made it known.
I felt so unwelcome and uncomfortable I made other accommodations, losing $400.
I wish I'd booked elsewhere đȘ
We loved our stay! The hosts were incredibly kind and had so many thoughtful touches to add to the experience, and the quality of everything is top-notch - you can tell they truly care about making this a wonderful vacation home and helping you have the best experience possible. The bed was amazingly comfortable and the surrounding area beautiful and quiet.
Our gated community of Laurel Ridge is North Carolina's best kept secret ! We are 17 miles of beautiful Mountain roads . Right behind our community is the Blue Ridge Parkway. The views of the Mountains and Lake at our 4,000FT elevation is breath taking ! Many of our neighbors including myself hike our roads daily . Biking is big in our community . A few miles away is Black Mountain town and City Golf Course !!!! We chose Laurel Ridge because we are less than 20mins. to Asheville and 12mins to The Biltmore Mansion.
Mt. Admirals Retreat has one of the best views in this area . Our truly unique wildlife experience here is priceless . If you are a bird enthusiast this is a "birds eye view" from your deck ! While we do not engage our Bears we do name them and their Cubs !
