Things To Do
Our Favorite Hike in Montreat
Lookout is one of our favorite hikes in Montreat and it's a classic hike! It's steep, but short and has one of the best views at the top!
Shopping in Black Mountain
Black Mountain has so many cute shops! Perfect for an easy walk around town. We recommend window shopping and stepping into a few along the way.
Robert Lake Park
If you need a good playground for kids to burn off some energy, Robert Lake Park in Montreat is a great option. It’s an awesome, well‑loved playground with lots of space to run, climb, and play, and it’s open to the public from dawn to dusk. It’s an easy stop for families looking to let kids stretch their legs and have some fun outdoors
La Guinguette
This cozy spot in downtown Black Mountain has a special place in our hearts. It’s where we went to dinner the night we got engaged! It’s also one of our go‑to places in town. The crepes and empanadas are amazing. If you’re wandering around and want something delicious and low‑key, this is a great stop.
Blue Ridge Biscuit Company
One of our favorite breakfast spots in town. The biscuits are some of the best!
Four Sisters Bakery
A cute little spot for a quick pastry and coffee before exploring town.
Lookout Brewing Company
One of our favorite breweries in town and always worth a stop if you’re out exploring.
Foothills Grange
If you're looking for a family-friendly spot to eat, we recommend checking out the Grange at Foothills. It’s a laid‑back spot with really good burgers and plenty of outdoor space where kids can run around and play. It’s a fun, easy stop that feels welcoming for everyone.
