The property was perfect! Fully stocked with everything you need. The resort amenities and tavern are top notch. The views from the house are amazing. Plenty of space for everyone with two master bedrooms. Loved the ability to do laundry after hikes and waterfalls. The s’mores were a hit with the kids. I would definitely return to this property again.

We had a wonderful stay at Rocky Face Retreat. The cabin was clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described. The mountain views were outstanding, and we especially enjoyed relaxing on the deck, using the hot tub, and gathering around the fire pit each evening. The location was a great balance of peaceful and convenient. We were able to easily visit the Blue Ridge Parkway, Black Balsam, whitewater rafting on the Pigeon River, and Biltmore. Communication with the host was excellent, and everything we needed was provided. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing mountain getaway.

Rocky Face Retreat was a perfect spot for our family getaway! We grew up spending summers in Cruso, and this location was ideal for us to gather. I appreciated the information provided after booking and the check-in process was seamless. If you are looking for a beautiful view of mountains within a golf community, this is the place for you. It rained during our visit, however we were excited to find firewood and s'mores supplies available on-site. We enjoyed spending Memorial Day at Rocky Face Retreat and look forward to visiting again.

This was the absolute best getaway and reset we all needed. It was 9 of us away for a Mother's Day Retreat weekend. Rocky Face literally thought of everything. We had everything we needed and more. There was plenty of space and everyone was extremely comfortable and left feeling healed and refreshed. We were very grateful for everything and the experience and memories that we made. Ashley was more than accommodating, friendly, and easy to reach. Thank you for the best experience. The hot tub was the highlight for everyone at the end of the day.

We loved our time at Rocky Face Retreat. Every amenity was so nice and thoughtful- the furnishings, comfy beds, kitchen, TV’s… they really thought of everything to make our stay special. We will definitely be back! Ashley was a rockstar host and quick to respond when we had questions. The property is private and has the prettiest view of Cold Mountain. Really a special place!

Mountain Get Away

Great house, remote location with country club feel with access to club house and pool. Hiked several trails in Mt. Pisguh with beautiful views. Lots of restaurants within 30 minutes. Will miss having morning coffee and evening wine on the deck with spectacular views of the mountains. Definitely come back!

Fantastic Property and Stay

The house is incredible and the pictures don't do it justice. It was a great fit for our family get together - we had 8 adults coming together and there was more than enough space. It was also a very well appointed space - I've never stayed in a rental with so many towels and supplies! The downstairs room with 2 queens isn't as nice as the other rooms, but still clean and functional, and it was great to have a bit more separated space. The host was super responsive and very kind. Overall, a beautiful house with extraordinary views.

Family Time

We came together from three states and throughly enjoyed our time at Rocky Face Retreat. Everything you read in the reviews is true. It is a beautiful home with a spectacular view. Ashley is a perfect host and I would nominate her for the BEST HOST on VRBO!! We mostly stayed at the home and were perfectly happy enjoying the seclusion of the mountains. “Try it. You will like it!”

No stone unturned

The hosts left no stone unturned to try to make us as their guests comfortable and welcome. We were impressed with how well the kitchen was equipped and all other aspects of the property. We had smores, hiked, picked apples, watched MLB from the jacuzzi, played ping pong, but mostly relaxed and enjoyed our family time. We were pleasantly surprised at the seclusion that this property had to offer as well. And finally, Ashley's quick responses to any and all questions made us feel at ease as we approached the visit. We all highly recommend.

Amazing Mountain View

This home was absolutely beautiful and away from everything and everyone. This was the best place we have stayed by far in the mountains.The house is ridiculous and has tons a room for a family get away. The kitchen is huge and if you love cooking like we do you will have a great time in the kitchen. The main porch is a little piece of heaven on earth. It has picturesque view out of a magazine. This place will cleanse your soul and have you wanting to come back like us. The hot tub and game room were just the icing on the cake. Ashley was a excellent host and made the check in/out process seamless. She answered all of my questions very quickly and efficiently. We wiil be back no doubt.

Private, Updated Luxury Mountain House with Spectacular Views!!

Wanted a long-weekend get-away for Spring Break with my family at a secluded mountain lodge perched high amongst the Smoky Mountains. After much research – we booked Rocky Face Retreat. After just returning home – I can honestly say this luxury vacation home exceeded every expectation. Rocky Face is positioned high above a beautiful valley, with expansive views of the area mountains. Just down the well-paved road below the home is Springdale Resort – where we had a wonderful Friday dinner at Rocky Face Tavern which is centered around a gorgeous and cozy fireplace. The home itself has everything to make your stay special – from the All-Clad waffle maker & cookwear, the Nespresso Verturo Machine, to the large Breville Toaster Over w/ Air Fryer. Loved watching our favorites on the large 75” 4K TV in the living room, pre-programmed with NetFlix, HBOMax, Disney+ and YouTubeTV. Look no further! Rocky Face Retreat had it all!

Luxurious and Unforgettable Family Vacation

My husband and I booked this amazing luxury rental due to its ideal central location proximate both my son and daughter’s drop-offs for sleep away camps. Pictures do not do this home justice. Each afternoon, we enjoyed the large outside terrace featuring Adirondack chairs all with expansive views of Cold Mountain. Our family enjoyed grilling out with the home’s Weber-grill all while dining alfresco at the comfortable outdoor dining table. After dinner, our family enjoyed nighty dips in the large hot tub in the lower level covered terrace watching both large 75” televisions (one TV featuring the NBA playoffs, while the others watched a baseball game). It was like having a sports bar in the clouds. The bedding and mattresses were so luxurious. They were better than some of the nicest hotels I’ve stayed at. This home has it all with thoughtful details that made our stay memorable. What an amazing and unforgettable family vacation!
