Montreat is the name of a town, college, and Presbyterian conference center (now all independent of one another but geographically proximate) located in a cove at the foot of the Black Mountains, near the Blue Ridge, just outside Asheville, North Carolina. The word "Montreat" is a portmanteau of Mountain Retreat, reflecting the vision the developers of the property had for this scenic location. (Wikipedia)
