Welcome to THE RETREAT at Pinnacle Mountain. The RETREAT is located in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains near Lake Lure and Rutherfordton, NC. The cabin is located in a mountain wilderness community called "The Pinnacle". Four wheel drive vehicles are recommended to travel the neighborhood; the road is gravel and has steep climbs to reach the cabin.
Relax, unwind, stare at the incredible view; you are in for a treat! Don't miss the BEST sunset view in Western NC, gaze directly upon Chimney Rock and Bald Mountain. The view is wide and deep and shows numerous layers of the mysterious Blue Ridge Mountains.
The moment you walk in the door across the wide-planked pine floors, you will be spoiled by the cabin's cozy and well-appointed furnishings and decor. The Retreat comfortably sleeps 6, with 2 queen beds in one bedroom and 1 king on the third floor loft. 2 full baths and a kitchen decked out better than at home, will meet all your comforts. The main living area boasts a soaring 2-story-vaulted living room and makes the log cabin a dream. The dining area hosts a table which comfortably seats 6 - 10 people on cowhide upholstered dining chairs and the view of the mountainscape is beyond words!
To fully take advantage of the view, an amazing covered sleeping porch with built-in couches (great for a lazy mountain day) and custom painted wood floor is the only place to be. The upper sleeping porch sits above a lower covered porch and a newly completed outdoor deck holding a SIX-PERSON JACUZZI. The minute you sink into the jacuzzi for the sunset view, you might not ever choose to leave! To complete the stay in the jacuzzi, make sure you see the star engulfed sky!
While the Retreat is designed for nature enthusiasts, the cabin is adorned so that the city slicker can enjoy this home too. Come, stay, get a full dose of life out of the fast lane...you never know what you will discover in the raw nature of Pinnacle Mountain, you might see bear, wild turkey, bobcats, and of course, it is the mountains, so expect to see some bugs!
We hope you will come enjoy a relaxing stay at The RETREAT at Pinnacle Mountain!

Why the Owner Chose Pinnacle Mountain
If you live near the western North Carolina mountains, it is hard to resist their beauty. After numerous trips to the area, it became my dream to own a log cabin in the mountains, especially the Blue Ridge Mountains!
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
The RETREAT at Pinnacle Mountain is a place that was designed to have ALL of the amenities of home and to be a place where you come to RELAX, UNWIND, and RECHARGE! While the house is located near TONS of fun day trips and destinations (Chimney Rock, Beautiful Lake Lure, The Blue Ridge Parkway, etc.) once you reach the house, you won't want to leave it. The VIEW is wide and layered deep with several layers of mountains. One can hardly resist sitting on the porch and experiencing sunset every late afternoon.
A MUST DO, while at the RETREAT at the Pinnacle. Wonderful trails, an elevator to the top, a sky lounge, and of course, the BEST view of Lake Lure. The movie 'Last of the Mohicans' was filmed at the
The home of the movie 'Dirty Dancing'. You have to take the boat tour of the lake to see the incredible million dollar views and homes. The Lake Lure Beach area is a great way to spend the day.
A great day trip from the Cabin. Black Mountain is a wonderful place to pick up great local artists' creations. Great Restaurants, make sure and get pizza while in town!
Go for an easy hike and see the beautiful Linville Gorge and Falls! Great place to take the family and go for a picnic!
A wonderful waterfall and very easy hike. One of our favorites! Great for an easy walk to the falls and easy for taking a picnic! This is listed as one the the Falls to see in North Carolina!
Enter the best caverns in the area to see an incredible cave, filled with great rock formations! A fantastic tour leads you through the caverns and tour guides explain the history of the caverns! A

This cabin was everything and more. The decor is beautiful and the twig chandelier was such a great added feature. The kitchen is definitely well stocked and has all you could want for yummy meals at home. The art and all the fun details really added to the charming character. The beds were comfy and the hot tub was great at night. But the view is the best part.. just WOW! Watching the sunset is an incredible experience and a true sight. But the color of the mountains and the peace and quite that surrounds the cabin is just perfect. Oh and nothing beats a good rocking chair! Definitely a step drive up and down and would be tricky in winter! But we traveled with a 4x wheel drive suv so it wasn't too bad. I am amazed to see perhaps a few locals buzz by in their smaller cars! Also you are a little bit away from any grocery/gas/food location, a good 15 miles, but there is a great bbq place called Countryside. Definitely a great eatery. The Biltmore took about 40 minutes to get to just because of the drive up the mountain and stretch to I40. But overall, such an amazing experience. So relaxing and cozy. The couch on the porch is a perfect place to snuggle! We even had breakfast out on the porch and it was such a lovely treat!! I would recommend this property over and over and would love to return in the future!!

My husband, college-age son and I just returned from a long weekend at The Retreat and what a special place to spend recharging our batteries!! We rent 2-3 vacation homes a year through VRBO and this is one of our favorites! The descriptions and photos, while perfectly accurate, can't begin to convey the breathtaking views and simple solitude that left us completely rested after such a short stay. We knew from the description that we wouldn't want to leave once we were there, so we brought several prepared meals and lots of wine. We did hike Chimney Rock and visit the Lake Lure area. It was the height of apple season so we enjoyed the local vendors and some of the freshest apple cider I've ever tasted. Every evening was topped off with an incredible sunset and later a hot tub experience under the stars!!! So many stars! We learned just before our trip that the owners were going to be selling this treasure. We hope that whoever buys it will continue to list it on VRBO because we want to come back next year! Beautiful retreat!!!

This cabin and views were amazing!! We spent our anniversary at the "Retreat" and can't wait to visit again! The owner was focused on ensuring we would have a Great visit, treated us like friends and encoureaged us to spend our time as if the cabin was ours. There was many things to see and do in the nearby area. I would strongly recommend the "Retreat" for those who want to spend time in the mountains, be it a long weekend or extended stay. Thanks for allowing us to share your cabin!

This place should be featured in some sort of magazine: Traveling or design/decorating or mountain ... any one of those or maybe all three. The place is EXACTALLY the as it is pictured here! What you can't see is how comfy the beds are, or how awesome the coffee taste while sipping it on the back porch, or how beautiful the view is at is at twilight. We stayed 5 nights and could have probably stayed another 5 nights!!! We grilled nearly every night and cooked breakfast every morning (the kitchen has everything you need!)... really had no desire to leave...but we had a 6 year old with us... and I think she would have gone stir crazy if we stayed 'home' each day (though there is satellite tv - and she did enjoy that!!!). The drive UP the mountain is a bit scary... actually VERY scary to me, but my husband handled it quite well in our 2007 front wheel drive minivan. It did take about 20 minutes to drive up the 3 miles (and about the same driving down each day)... so that should be built into one's estimate when traveling. The road is well maintained for a gravel road, but it is a gravel road with some very steep inclines with blind hair pin turns. YEP! Scary... but doable! My husband successfully did it four times (we did choose to stay 'home' one of our 5 days). I'm not sure what it would be like in winter or during a heavy rain. It is remote! Which is a great thing when wanting to get away from it all (I did NOT use my laptop at all while we were there... and my AT&T 3G service was spotty... but I was OK with that!!!) However, it did take a bit to get to some area 'attractions' - Chimney Rock, Lake Lure, Tom's Creek Fall, Linville Falls, Grandfather Mountain, Lake James - first you have to factor in the drive up and down the mountain and then another hour+ to the other locations. Would we go back? YES! But without our daughter... we would go for a long weekend - just the two of us (or maybe another couple) and just 'hang out'! It's beautiful, peaceful, relaxing...truly The Retreat!

My friend and I stayed at the Retreat for the first three days of 2010, and we're still talking about our smart decision nearly a year later! The cabin is beautiful, comfortable, and private. The owners are accomodating and friendly. We especially loved the outdoor seating area -- a perfect place to read a book or just take in the view!

This cabin exceeded above and beyond our expectations. Each aspect of the cabin was much appreciated. From the hot tub with the view of the stars, to the amazingly comfortable bed, to the awesome and well-stocked kitchen, to the three porches, this was the perfect getaway. One of my favorite aspects was the L-shaped seating area on the main porch with many pillows to achieve the utmost comfort while reading, drinking your morning coffee, or taking a nap. Hiking nearby was so much fun and the view from the top of the mountain is breathtaking. Highly recommended!

We had the most relaxing long weekend at the Retreat! It was just what we needed. The cabin is beautifully decorated with a "rustic elegance"! Such style...I wanted to take everything home with me! The views of the surrounding mountains are amazing! Eating dinner outside watching the mountains turn the most beautiful colors...there aren't too many restaurants that can offer a better seat than that! The cabin is close to many attractions, such as Chimney Rock and Lake Lure, but you'll have to tear yourself away from the Retreat! It's so perfect, you won't want to leave! All you'll need to take along with you is good food, good drinks and good company...the peace, quiet, relaxation and beauty will be waiting there for you!

We loved this place for a long weekend get-away! Rustically elegant and perfectly decorated with whimsy and great taste. Steep climb up the mountain is worth the trip. Be prepared to relax and enjoy the spectacular view, hot tub, read, play games... Aptly named, it's a perfect Retreat. Enjoy!
