About this property

Mountain Ridge Cottage – A Peaceful Retreat with Expansive Mountain Views

Wake up to sweeping views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and fall asleep to the quiet sounds of nature at Mountain Ridge Cottage — your private getaway nestled on five wooded acres near Pisgah National Forest and Dupont State Forest.

This inviting 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home comfortably sleeps up to six guests, offering space for families or couples seeking an intimate mountain escape. The open floor plan creates an easy flow between kitchen, dining, and living areas — perfect for gathering after a day of exploring Western North Carolina.

Enjoy your morning coffee on the front porch rocking chairs, listening to songbirds and the rustle of trees, or unwind on the spacious back deck as the sun sets over Mt. Pisgah and the French Broad River Valley. On quiet evenings, you may spot the region’s famous white squirrels, graceful deer, or even an occasional black bear wandering through the property — a true taste of mountain life.

The primary suite features a king-size Tempur-Pedic mattress and direct access to the deck. A downstairs bedroom and bath offer extra privacy, making the home ideal for multi-generational groups or friends traveling together.

Located just minutes from local favorites — Hendersonville (11 mi), Brevard (14 mi), Asheville (25 mi) — you’ll find an abundance of outdoor adventures and cultural experiences nearby. Explore waterfalls in Transylvania County, hike in Dupont and Pisgah Forest trails, bike the new Ecusta Trail, visit the Biltmore Estate, Chimney Rock, or take in a show at Flat Rock Playhouse. Golfers will enjoy nearby Cummings Cove and Etowah Valley Country Club.

At an elevation of 2,900 feet, Mountain Ridge Cottage blends mountain serenity with modern comfort, offering the perfect place to renew, restore, and reconnect. Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway or an extended stay, you’ll find space to breathe, reflect, and enjoy the natural beauty that makes Western North Carolina unforgettable.

Note: Due to stairs and high decks, the property may not be suitable for guests with mobility limitations.

Beautiful Views - Excellent Host

The property itself is beautiful with amazing views and plenty of places to sit outside and enjoy them. The home itself is very charming and well kept. The highlight for me was getting to watch the elusive white squirrel from the front porch! Finally, the host was amazing and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect.

Our family has stayed at Mountain Ridge Cottage several times during the summer and enjoyed its peacefulness and beautiful sunsets. It is always well maintained, exceptionally clean and updated. There is always something new to admire in the landscape. Check-in was easy. The kitchen is always adequately stocked with any dishes or cookware needed. This place makes me feel at home.

Fun family vacation.

The home was spacious and had beautiful mountain views. It was perfect for our family of four. We enjoyed long days out hiking, sightseeing, eating out but then came home and were able to relax in comfort. Full kitchen was very helpful, rooms were comfortable and clean.

Perfect Place for Celebration Vacation

It was truly an amazing have a wonderful time. It was the vacation week that was chosen in January, which happened to be the same week hurricane Debbie came to Charleston, South Carolina! So it was wonderful to escape that mess and the views were just superb! I won’t even mention watching the white squirrels, munching around the yard what fun!

About the host

Hosted by Hilda Rives

Host profile image
For many years, our family has loved vacationing in the mountains of Western North Carolina. After two years of searching, we discovered Mountain Ridge Cottage on Turkey Creek — a place that immediately felt like home. It became our retreat from busy lives in Louisiana, a quiet refuge where we could slow down, breathe deeply, and feel the presence of God in the beauty around us.

Today, our daughters manage Mountain Ridge Cottage, continuing the family tradition of sharing this special place with others. What began as a dream for us has become a legacy of love that spans generations. We hope every guest experiences the same peace, renewal, and sense of connection that our family has found here.

Why they chose this property

We were drawn to the small-town charm of Hendersonville and Brevard, where friendly people and an easy pace of life make every visit feel special. From the moment we first drove up Turkey Creek Drive, we knew this was where we wanted to be. The breathtaking mountain view from the deck immediately captured our hearts and continues to be the highlight of every stay.

Our goal was to create a mountain retreat where we could gather with our children and grandchildren — a place to relax, reconnect, and enjoy the beauty of Western North Carolina. The Turkey Creek Drive community offers the perfect balance: peaceful and private, yet conveniently close to everything. In just ten minutes, we can reach local shops and restaurants, and the Asheville Airport is only 25 minutes away.

It’s a safe, welcoming place where our family (and now our guests) can enjoy the outdoors, pursue their interests, and experience the restorative calm of the mountains.

What makes this property unique

Mountain Ridge Cottage offers the quiet beauty of country living with all the comforts of home. Guests often mention how peaceful it feels — surrounded by trees, wildlife, and mountain views that stretch for miles. The well-stocked kitchen makes it easy to settle in, and the home’s private location provides a true sense of retreat while still being about 10–25 minutes from nearby towns, trails, and waterfalls. It’s a welcoming spot to slow down, unwind, and enjoy the best of Western North Carolina.
