Escape the crowds and discover the Blue Ridge Mountains in luxury and style. Rivers Ridge Lodge is a lovely custom built 5,000 sq ft., 6 bedroom, 5.5 bath log home nestled into 3000+ feet of river frontage on 17 undeveloped acres. Sports enthusiasts, explorers, shoppers, and those who want to do absolutely nothing will all be smiling when you make us your year-round vacation destination.
Immerse yourself in the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains from the 5,000+ sq. ft. deck that wraps the Lodge on 3 sides and juts over the edge of the widest span in the river. Bask in the sun from a lounge chair or rocker, hike the trail or fish for Trout, Small Mouth Bass, and Catfish onsite. Toast marshmallows over the fire pit or soak in the hot tub under the stars. The older kids can escape to one of 2 air-conditioned bunkhouses on the property within sight of the Lodge where they can sleep in bunks or hammocks or just hang out. They might not even think about the billiards, wireless Internet, large screen televisions and video game console, but we have them, just in case.
The open gourmet kitchen/living room with its 16 ft stone fireplace and antler chandelier will warmly welcome your extended family, friends or colleagues and comfortably accommodate them. Sleep and relax in any of 3 Master Suites on the main level. Children or families will love staying together in any of the 3 bunk-rooms upstairs. We have also crafted ramps, a barrier free shower and widened doorways to make the main floor and deck of the Lodge wheelchair friendly so everyone is included. The Lodge will sleep 20+ and the exterior bunkhouses will sleep an additional 5.
Very private yet only 3 minutes away from Interstate 40 (Exit 75), Rivers Ridge Lodge is an ideal spot for year-round vacations and retreats. Popular day trips include: Pisgah National Forest, within minutes; Black Mountain, 10 mins; Blue Ridge Parkway, 12 min; Lake James, Lake Lure, and Chimney Rock, 20 mins; Asheville, 25 min; Linville Caverns, 40 mins; Sugar and Beech Mountain (skiing,) 60-70 min. Research the options from home or use the printed literature that we provide at the Lodge. Rivers Ridge Lodge, we’ve tried to think of everything.
