  The Cabin Ridge is something special. My wife and I celebrated our 1st wedding anniversary here and just wanted to try something different. I must say I had extremely high expectations of this place prior to coming, I just had this idea in my head of how this whole experience would be. Everything was flawless. The only reason I even considered not giving this place 5 stars, would be to prevent it from becoming too popular - which would make it difficult to book future vacations...haha. But it's evident Andy puts a lot of work into this place and it would be a shame for it to not be enjoyed by those fortunate enough to find it. The price is in the same range as a typical hotel. You usually stay at a hotel (for shelter) while you go to your destination during the day...this IS the destination (if you want it to be). The view, the nature, the seclusion, the shower, the oil lamps, the peace & quite, the taste of how things once were...every little detail about this place made it an unforgettable memory we will always share (but we'll be back). Thank you Andy!

  We were excited, and a bit apprehensive, as we approached The Cabin Ridge. When you find something online you never know if the reality will compare to the glowing descriptions and select photographs you see when booking. We were very happy to find that The Cabin Ridge actually exceeded our expectations! This is a beautiful property. The grounds are large, open, and gorgeous. The cabin is larger than we expected, absolutely immaculate, and contained everything we needed. My 5 year old son had a wonderful time running and exploring, catching salamanders, picking tomatoes and apples, visiting with the cows next door, and learning the art of toasting the perfect marshmallow. Mommy and Daddy were happy to have the "camping experience" with a bathroom and four walls for sleeping. The fresh mountain air and the solitude and peacefulness of the setting were rejuvinating. We came home refreshed and relaxed. Thank you Andy for being a wonderful hostess - and thank you for sharing this treasure with us! We will be back!

  I have vactioned here twice now. Once with my adult daughter and once with my husband and 4 sons. Each trip was enjoyable and my daughter (who can't be without a computer or tv) actually enjoyed herself. My sons loved it and my husband was pleasantly surprised. We played games, played outside and spent some wonderful time together. The boys explored along the trails around the property and The shower is awesome!!! My 13 year old son said it was the best shower he had ever taken. When you stay at this place you really understand how captive you are in your everyday life and how free you feel on this mountain. It is close to Chimney Rock and Hendersonville and I would live here if andy would let me :-) 5 stars for this place. Will be going back real soon!!!

  As soon as we arrived we fell in love with this cabin. The views are beautiful and we had a wonderful time doing nothing in particular except wandering around the property. We also enjoyed the proximity to several state parks/forests where we were able to do more hiking and climbing. We spent most of our days here outside before enjoying late afternoon outdoor showers then getting the whole cabin warm and cozy while cooking over the wood stove. I would recommend this cabin to absolutely everyone, your vacation can be as relaxing or as active as you choose to make it here.

  Owner response: It is so rewarding to share this unique property with others! Whether a couple spending time together in a beautiful & private environment, a family with children experiencing a little history and finding joys in creating their own entertainment in the outdoors, a girls weekend in a place that fosters relaxation time, sharing, laughter, bonding, or folks who want to explore this beautiful area of WNC, The Cabin Ridge is a simpler place and time for making memories!

  We have enjoyed our time so much that we have gone back twice already. The pictures do not do the property justice it is amazing. You feel as if you are on top of the world! Andrea met us there and answered all of our questions and showed us how to use everything. She has put so much time and energy into this property and it shows! It was an incredible experience for our kids to see what living is like without electricity....they loved using the pump in the kitchen to do dishes and they thought the outdoor solar shower was incredible as did I!!! We spent time hiking the trail on the property and watching sunset from lookout point. The kids picked apples from the trees and ran around and loved being there. It feels so safe and free being up on the secluded property with an amazing view. The cabin is clean and has enough comforts of home....The second time we took our tent and set that up outside to sleep out under the stars and listen to the owls hooting! We had smores around the fire at night and loved the view of the full moon rising over the top and then still visible over the mountains in the morning. My husband enjoys the awesome grill on the front porch and even built a fire in the kitchen so that I could cook on the old fashioned stove. If he was not in the mood we had the propane burners as well. We will be going back again soon!

  Dear Andrea, it was so hard to go back home to Chicago after staying on your property! My wife Michele, along with Justin and Christina loved our "Family Time" spent on the mountain in your adorable cabin. The kids had a blast playing soccer / baseball / frisbee on the property, and filling the solar bags for our Outdoor Showers. That was just too cool. We were able to get in our daily hikes on your hiking paths through the woods that you told us about, and visited with the horses below the cabin. Our nights were filled with beautiful vivid stars that, for a moment you thought you can reach if you stretched out your arms to them. Very Peaceful and Relaxing. Thank you for sharing your place!

  My girlfriend and I needed a get-a-way. We found the property to be as described and we enjoyed the peacefulness. The wind chimes added very much to the setting. The outside shower was an interesting experience- much warmer than we thought it might be. The trial we walked was nice. We didn't get to see the sun set but we did see the sun rise, and it was nice also. The lack of electricity was good for romantic evenings but we were grateful for the indoor flush toilet! It was cool in the evening but the cabin heated up quickly with the wood stove. We only wish we could have stayed for a few more days. This place is the perfect get-a-way spot for people who want something a little different!

  What a great experience! It was really beautiful and peaceful, and so refreshing to get away from all the traffic, the phones, the noise, the news - talk about a destresser! Having no power was even fun under these circumstances!! And I never thought I could take a shower in 2 1/2 gallons of water warmed by the sun, but that outdoor shower was one of my favorite parts! Thank you for a wonderful and different weekend that we will be talking about for a long time!
