About this property

Mountain Home with Beautiful Views

Welcome to A Ridge Retreat!

A Ridge Retreat is a 4BR/2.5BA mountain home with sweeping views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Experience incredible panoramic views from the warmth of the hot tub or the comfort of the ample seating around the wrap-around covered porch. Walk down to the private wooden swing on a clear night and take in an uninterrupted sky full of stars!

*Winter Weather Advisory: Access is via a 1/4 mile shared gravel driveway. The approach is steep. It is necessary to have 4-wheel drive AND tire chains for ice to navigate the driveway during winter weather. Vehicles must not be left on the driveway as this endangers the neighbors.

Take a step inside and meet the perfect combination of classic elegance and rustic charm. The main living room has a cozy stone fireplace and a large flat-screen TV. Adjacent, you will find the open dining room and kitchen, updated with stainless steel appliances and beautiful granite countertops.

The king master suite, also on the main level, invites you in with its private fireplace and bathroom. There is private access to the back porch from this bedroom, right by the hot tub. Another bedroom with a twin-over-twin bunk bed is also on the main level with a shared bathroom.

Come prepared for a little friendly competition as you enter the game room on the lower level. Enjoy a game of billiards, bring the heat during a round of foosball, or relax by the wet bar - there is something for everyone! Two king bedrooms share a full bathroom on this lower level.

This private retreat provides you a taste of the tranquility the High Country offers. However, if you enjoy exploring, this home is only a 35-minute drive to adventures like Watauga Lake, Tweetsie Railroad Amusement Park, Beech Mountain Ski Resort, and much more. Take a stroll through downtown Boone, less than 30 minutes away, and enjoy fantastic dining, unique shopping, and local events.

Great stay!

Very clean and comfortable house. View was amazing. Long and steep drive up dirt road to get to house and long drive to restaurants and stores. Property was amazing, had hot tub which was great to sit in and enjoy view. Would definitely stay here again.

More than I imagined

I can see the why tje warni g about 4 wheel dr in winter is a must. Even in the summer its long drive up a sometimes steep gravel road and driveway. The property is very secluded and only one other cabin can be swen close by when on the deck. Otherwise you feel completely alone. The decor is great, inside and out. It is definately well maintained. All of the extras worked as they should. Will be going back

Solace

Had a wonderful time at our stay. Cozy aesthetic, a wonderful amount of space, and had a great view that we enjoyed from the hot tub. Had very reasonable distance to everything around but still felt very private.

Beautiful Views and Quite

It was a very nice and quiet place too stay. Could have been cleaner. Lights on entrance needs to be fixed so you can see the driveway entrance at night.... Especially in the fog.
