The home was spacious, and clean, the kitchen adequately equipped. Sorry about the absence of a shower on the upper level, though. The mild weather during our stay might have helped, but the combination of the three AC units along with the humidifiers made the house feel very comfortable.

My family enjoyed our week staying in Hum-Dil-Lah. I have been coming to Montreat for over 60 years and probably stayed in 25 different houses. My wife and I always look forward to relaxing in the mountains, hiking, reading, and working very hard at doing very little. The location of Hum-Dil-Lah is excellent! This year, we had three of our granddaughters with us and it was easy for them to walk to the park and/or go to "clubs". The floor plan worked well for us. With three floors it was easy to find a place to read alone or visit with others. Here are a few suggestions we have that would have made our visit even better. 1- House needs to have a "bear box" with a locking mechanism for trash. We were visited by bears three different times during our stay. Since I took our trash to the Montreat refuse center multiple times during the week, we avoided the potential problem of using the plastic trash can outside. Unfortunately, other homes near us weren't so lucky. Their trash bags were ripped open and the contents were strewn about on multiple lots within our block. While it is simply an inconvenience for humans to clean up the mess, repeated encounters between bears and garbage will become a serious threat to bears. 2- Kitchen needs to be better equipped. The supply of glasses, bowls, pots, pans, and cooking utensils could be improved. We had hoped to host a spaghetti dinner for some other relatives from SC that were staying in Montreat during our week but ultimately decided against it. 3- The upstairs bedroom could use a sturdy bench on which to sit while getting dressed. While there was a bench located in the room, it was not solid enough for sitting. There was a very nice "curved back" bench in the large room adjacent to the bedroom but we did not want to move it. 4- Please consider allowing guests to use the washer and dryer downstairs. In our family, with three young (and very active) granddaughters that played hard every day... they got dirty. Our daughter-in-law had to hand-wash their shirts, shorts, and socks and air dry them outside. Use of the washer/dryer should be included in the rental fee.

Manager's Response

Charles, it's great to hear that you and your family had a wonderful stay at Hum-Dil-Lah and enjoyed hiking, reading, and relaxing. Also, how special it is to have been coming to Montreat and making memories for over 60 years!  We can't thank you enough for your thoughtful review and suggestions on enhancing the guest experience, and we will certainly relay your recommendations to the homeowner for consideration. We appreciate you trusting us at Greybeard Rentals for your mountain retreat, and we hope that we'll get the opportunity to host you and your family again when you return to the Montreat area!

Nice place

Had wonderful stay with family while attending a conference. The two kitchens with two refrigerators was a real plus.
