About this property

Spacious House, PERFECT Location,17 Miles to Asheville, Pets,View!

The sunrise will take your breath away each morning as you rock on the large front porch with a steaming cup of apple cider or coffee. Rocking chairs are waiting for you and your family to enjoy breathtaking views of towering Grant Mountain located in the clouds on phenomenal Mt. Bearwallow. Meadows roll gently down to nestle at the base of mighty Mount Pisgah framing a snapshot of grazing horses next to a postcard perfect pond. Only 20 minutes to Asheville & Hendersonville. Only 10 minutes to Chimney Rock/Lake Lure.

Kids can roll up their pants and enjoy catching crawfish and other oddities while discovering the magical world of nature. Grab a basket and spend the afternoon filling it with wild blackberries for a pie to go along with fresh mountain cabbage, apples, Amish butter and cheese, homemade jams, jellies and scrumptious baked goods found at the local farmers markets. Although we are located at a high elevation, take Fido, the kids and your walking stick and hike even farther up our mountain road and enjoy a picnic and the ever changing scenery of autumn leaves or spring flowers. No need for air conditioning since the breezes are always cool, so snuggle under a cozy blanket and sleep to the serenade of the creek running down the mighty mountain and the echoes of a thunderstorm rolling in from over the gorge.

Explore the Biltmore House and shop in the Village, but don't forget to take the kids and pan for gold, enjoy wonderful barbeque, homemade ice cream and all the unique shops (as well as drive to the of Chimney Rock! Whether its beautiful waterfalls or hiking, biking, boating, golfing, shopping or swimming, we know that you'll agree that it is definitely God's country and we welcome you to be our guest.

Nice getaway
The home was cozy and as one other guest said, it is like staying at grandma's house. We specifically came for views of the mountain, but due to the time of season we came, our views were obstructed by the trees. Partly my fault for not realizing that, but would like to have seen "seasonal views," in the description. Loved, loved the creek beside it and the sound of that water. If we had had views, it would have been spectacular.

Great quiet getaway in a convenient mountain location!
We enjoyed our stay at Mott's Mountain Laurel. It was well equipped with everything we needed. The kitchen had plenty of cooking utensils, and there was plenty of space for our group. It was charming and reminded me of staying at someone's grandmother's house. There were family pictures on the wall and plenty of seating area.

Spacious, yet very cozy!
Spacious, yet very cozy! This was my second stay at this home, for good reason, it is very comfortable and cozy and well supplied. Also the location is fantastic with a beautiful mountain view and convenient to Asheville and Hendersonville. Hillary is a great host!

A Beautiful Retreat
What a beautiful weekend we had! This mountain retreat was just what our family needed to reconnect, with plenty of space for napping, and mealtimes and games around the table. This is truly an old family home: warm, comfortable, inviting, and the view from the porch is impossible to capture with a camera! The hostess was available and easy to communicate with—we wanted to add our photos to her picture wall! We never took advantage of nearby restaurants or shops—we just stayed “home” and enjoyed the peace and natural setting, although the young adults did have fun mining for gems. We loved every minute of our stay here, and really enjoyed our surprise “welcome” gift! Thank you, Hillary, for sharing this treasure with us! It’s at the top of our “favorites” list!

About the host

Hosted by Hillary Timmons

Host profile image
This home has been in our family since the 1970's but it was constructed in the 20's. We completely renovated it in 2001 but have never rented it out. Unfortunately, our family has become smaller, the children have grown and we now have very little time to enjoy it. We hope other folks will love it as we do and make fond vacation memories. Mott's Mountain Laurel is dedicated in memory of the most wonderful wife, mother and Meme.

Why they chose this property

Our family considered many different properties in many different mountain locations before buying a vacation get-away but found this Bearwallow Mountain home to have the MOST stunning views! Conveniently located between Asheville and Hendersonville, our home is also just a short drive from shopping, entertainment and many natural wonders. We can't wait for you to enjoy the quaint shops of Chimney Rock, Bat Cave and the beach and restaurants of Lake Lure!!

What makes this property unique

Swimming (Sliding Rock and Lake Lure), skiing, hiking, climbing, bird and animal watching, exploring, cable car sight-seeing, river rafting, exquisite restaurants, craft breweries, the Biltmore Estate, Chimney Rock, farmer's market, fishing, boating, waterfalls, and antiquing are only a few activities which can be enjoyed while vacationing at our mountain home.
