— The 3 Bedrooms —

Bedroom 1: King Bed With Ensuite Bathroom
Bedroom 2: Queen Bed With Adjoining Bathroom
Bedroom 3: King Bed With Ensuite Bathroom
Lower Level: 1 Twin Size Bunk Bed & Couch

The main level Primary Suite has a king size bed, dresser, ceiling fan, closet, and private ensuite bathroom with double vanities and walk-in shower.

The equally luxurious second main level bedroom has a queen size bed with similar features, including adjoining full bathroom, dresser, ceiling fan, and closet. A main level laundry room with full size washer and dryer completes the first floor.

The lower level is what makes this home flexible for larger groups or two families. Downstairs you will find the 3rd bedroom with king bed and spacious ensuite bathroom. One twin size bunk bed nestled in the corner is perfect for the kids in the group. Easy access out the downstairs door leads to a lower level with padded chairs for outside relaxing.

You want games…Cedar Ridge has games! The home is fully equipped with a pool table, ping pong table, playing cards, poker set, and countless board games. Head outside and you will find corn hole boards, horse shoes, ring toss, bocce ball, and can jam!

Lake Lure, just 3 miles up the road, offers lakefront dining, small town shopping, and family fun and adventure. Lake Lure Beach & Waterpark is a great place to take the kids with lifeguards standing watch as they play in the sand or slide down the waterslide. Around the lake you will find multiple marinas with boat rentals options, boat tours returning spring 2026, river tubing, fishing, golf courses, zip lining, and more! Chimney Rock National Park is not to be missed, with spectacular views, rock climbing, hiking, waterfalls, and so much more. Spend the day golfing at one of Lake Lure’s three golf courses or take some time to relax at the Rumbling Bald Spa and Salon. For a more private, at-home activity, walk out onto the property and pick your own blackberries, blueberries, or walnuts.

After an eventful day of exploring, roast marshmallows with your loved ones over the fire pit as you look up at the clear night sky to count the stars.

If you need to stay connected, Cedar Ridge has wifi and a work space equipped with chair and desk.

Nearby is the newly built Tryon Equestrian Center. It is not to be missed for outside (and inside) dining while watching different horse events, such as polo, jumping, gladiator matches, “Saturday Night Lights,” and more!

No matter the season, this adorable mountain home provides a perfect escape. Visit in the spring when the foliage is beginning to bloom and daytime temperatures average 60 degrees. Sip your morning coffee on the deck or relax away the afternoon in one of the outdoor chairs. Stay in the summer when the weather is perfect—warm but not humid. Unwind with the soothing breezes and views from the front porch.

Visit at year’s end and soak in the cozy log cabin feeling; the autumn colors in this area are breathtaking, and the winter weather opens an entirely new view with the leaves having from the trees. Stay warm by the fireplace, make a hot toddy, and relax with your loved ones.

Incredible place! Would definitely go back!

This cabin was amazing. The property is very well kept, very clean, spacious, private and had everything we needed. The owners were very easy to communicate with and responded quickly. It is close to grocery, close to Lake Lure and close to lots of other activities, but secluded enough to enjoy peace and quiet.

Truly a home away from home type of comfort.

The cabin was beautiful, inside and out, clean and very accommodating for our large family. All of us felt at home. It had a cozy feeling but yet we could all spread out to have our own space. Some activities we enjoyed were renting a pontoon boat on Lake Lure, souvenir and antique shopping on the strip, hiking Chimney Rock, playing foot golf and touring Biltmore Mansion in Asheville. The cabin is in a great a great location and close to many fun things to do! My family and I enjoyed our stay and plan on going back soon!

Snow Weekend

My group had a great time at the cabin. It snowed during our stay, so we had the pleasure of staying in and enjoying the amenities of the house. The fireplace and the kitchen are both good features for a group of people who like to hang out. The view from both porches after the snow was also fantastic. The owners were helpful and communicative, and I would definitely stay here again.

Wedding week

Cedar ridge was as described. It was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. It is very close to Lake Lure and a supermarket. It was private but not too far from activities in the area. I would recommend it. The chairs and fire pit space was very family friendly.

What a excellent place to stay

We all really enjoyed ourselves staying at cedar ridge cabin it was clean & cozy with nice porches & rocking chairs to just relax & take in all that the mountains have to offer. We enjoyed playing pool & ping pong & spending time together. The only negative thing I have to say is that the gas grill needs to be replaced as it is old & doesn’t work as it should but we just made other dinner plans & had a great time. Thanks for letting us enjoy your cabin & we look forward to staying again

Great Fall Getaway

Beautiful cabin and great location! Our party consisted of 2 families all with teenage kids which thoroughly enjoyed all the games and activities in the basement. The time out by the fire pit was a plus as well! The cabin had everything we needed so much so that the only ones that left the cabin after arriving were the husbands that fished and did our grocery shopping. Our 2 families rent cabins in the mountains 2-3 times a year and hope to make this cabin one of our "go to" places for making more memories in the future! Highly recommend!!

Wonderful mountain getaway

The cabin was spectacular. The owners did everything to make it very welcoming. Little things like a handwritten note with their phone numbers in the event we have trouble was greatly appreciated (we didn’t have any problems). Everything was very clean. The beds were the most comfortable mattresses we’ve ever slept on on a vacation. The kitchen was well equipped and we really enjoyed the gas log fireplace. The game room was such a bonus as we definitely took advantage of it on a bad weather day. The property was well maintained and it was so peaceful and private. The kids and us really enjoyed the fire pit and chairs at night. I cannot say enough positive things about this property and we definitely plan to return in the future.

Awesome Time

The house is remote enough that you have privacy, but are within 10 minutes of Lake Lure and a grocery store. The fire pit was a hit with the family every evening and the front porch was great for coffee in the mornings. The basement has a great game room for all ages. The downstairs bedroom has air conditioning but the rest of the basement could get a little warm. A couple of fans could help with this or a window ac unit. The main floor was great. Kitchen was well stocked and even had Keurig for coffee. The grill on the back porch was in great condition and we used it for most of our meals. The beds were comfortable. Would suggest upgrading to smart TVs so guest could stream Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc. The washer and dryer functioned well and we’re big enough for extra large loads! There is plenty of parking, even towards the bottom of the driveway if your vehicle can’t get up the gravel driveway. Very clean! An awesome time!

Amazing mountain getaway

This is one of the nicest rental houses we have stayed at. It was far enough away from other houses but less than 5 minutes to the grocery store and about 10 minutes from Lake Lure. Having a pool table and ping pong table was great for the family to have some bonding time and they had several puzzles that you could put together. The rental company was great to work with, we had a problem with the water not working on a Sunday and they came out within 2 hours and fixed it. We will definitely stay here again the next time we come to Lake Lure!

North Carolina Hideaway

The property was perfect for our family Christmas. There were plenty of bedrooms, a stocked kitchen, secluded yet close enough to places to go explore, plenty of parking, multiple game options for entertainment. Overall we had an enjoyable time in the woods. They even had a Christmas tree set up for us! That was a nice touch. I would recommend this home for a quiet gathering away from the hustle and bustle of the big city...just what we were looking for.
