Spectacular View! Beautiful cliffside house at Caesar's Head

The Burgenest is a family mountain home located in the gated community of Cliff Ridge Colony at Caesar's Head. The House sits on a cliff overlooking the beautiful Jones Gap conservation area, with views of mountains in the near distance (no houses visible). Built to accommodate our large extended family, it is ideal for family gatherings and reunions, yet intimate enough for small groups. Hikers will enjoy easy access to the nearby Mountain Bridge nature trails, and bikers will enjoy the Caesar's Head mountain biking challenge.

The main floor (wheelchair accessible) is a great place for games, movies, reading, conversation or making music. This floor features 2 bedrooms (4 queen beds) and 2.5 baths. Features include an open living area with wood burning fireplace and smart tv with Direct tv access, an atrium featuring a grand piano and breath taking mountain views on three sides of the room. The dining area features seating for 12+. A spacious, well-equipped kitchen features stainless appliances including gas range, dishwasher, 3-door refrigerator, and counter top microwave, ample dinner ware, pots, pans, flat ware, etc.

Also on the main level is a lovely screen porch with lots of seating and open deck featuring a hot tub overlooking mountain vistas.

The second floor features 3 bedrooms(1 queen, 2 doubles, 4 singles-with 2 trundles, 1 crib), 2 baths, and a separate den with gas log fireplace and tv with Direct TV access. TV in singles room with Roku and DVD access.

There is a rec room in the basement, complete with ping pong and seating area.

A ten minute walk brings you to the community recreation area with 2 swimming pools (In season, one heated), private lake (canoeing and fishing), and 2 tennis courts. Dupont State Forest, with its three waterfalls, is a 15 minute drive, and Caesar's Head State Park is less than 5 minutes away (Wi-Fi Available here).

Several golf courses are in the area along with river activities, shopping, restaurants, and cultural events, including the famous Brevard Music Festival and the Flatrock Summer Playhouse.

Lots of space and a great view

There were 11 of us for a week of family togetherness. Six adults and five children. There is plenty of beds and lots of space. The views are great. We smelled mildwed or mold in the basement when we arrived, but it was limited to that area. It soon was in the main area and I am very allergic to molds. Soon I was limited to avoiding the main living area and we taped trash bags over the stairway to the basement. It helped some. Turns out the HVAC was leaking into the carpet which had old mold or mildew already there. So it spread rapidly. The host had the HVAC leak repaired but didn't do anything about the carpet mildew/mold. She was "sorry for my inconvience". Puffing on an inhailer, spending time on a cpap with a hepa filter and nose bleeds from taking medicine that dries you nose and eyes up are not "inconviences". So the family didn't use the basement at all. It got bad enough the parents wouldn't let the children down there. So great location, views, and space. Wish I could have enjoyed them and had the children play in the basement.

Amazing view and perfect for family gatherings!

This property is prettier than the pictures as the view extends across the living-dining-deck. Just amazing for visiting and viewing plus family gathering. The house is super accommodating with lots of space, bedrooms and bathrooms plus a well stocked kitchen. The neighborhood amenities and accessible location makes this a great option for family gatherings.

Louisiana native Brevard graduate family visit

Phenomenon views. Listing was just as described. Everyone was comfortable and not on top of one another. Lots of memories made. HVAC didn’t work upstairs one first evening but notified Goldsmith Management and it was taken care of quickly. Would definitely return!

Perfect home for family reunion!!

I Can't say enough good things about this home! It was perfect for our family.. We had 8 adults , 5 teenagers and 3 children. Not everyone stayed the entire week this, but the home was absolutely perfect. No need to bring any extra supplies, as the house is already supplied very well. (And plenty of extra blankets and pillows as well!) Plenty of room for everyone to gather, play games, relax, etc. The hot tub and ping pong table were the perfect bonuses and total hits!! The home is gorgeous and it immediately felt "warm" & "homey". And nothing beats the views!! So much to do ans see around there. Impossible to get "bored" unless you want to just chill. It really is the perfect home to get away to. We all absolutely loved it and plan to go back next year!!

Great mountain house for a crowd.

6 adults and 8 kids enjoyed valentines and Presidents’ Day weekend at this house. Lots of space for everyone, beautiful mountain views.. great screened porch and deck with hot tub. Close to parks for hiking and not too far from Brevard, Pretty Place, etc. House could use a good deep cleaning and some fresh linens throughout. Basement needs a TV. Would definitely stay there again.

Amazing!!!

I booked this rental for me and my husband and my bridesmaids to stay at while we were in town for our wedding. The views from this house are incredible, just breathtaking!! The house was very spacious and everyone had plenty of room, there was only 8 of us staying in the house we each had our own bed/bedrooms. I would highly recommend for anyone considering renting to RENT IT. The drive up to the house is very nice and you can even stop at Bald Rock on your way to it. Overall our stay was wonderful, and we enjoyed our weekend in Cleveland. I was so sad to leave the beautiful mountain view as I am from Florida and don't ever get this view.

Burgenest Bliss

The view on arrival set the stage for the entire stay. A brilliant rainbow that seemed to end in the valley below was a wonderful greeting to this bit of heaven in the Carolina mountains. Don't want to say too much, you have to see it for yourself (and I want enough open time to be able to book it again). Don't go here so it will be available for me! OK, I'm being a bit selfish. But you cannot get a true picture of this rental without going there. Great privacy in a gated community with lots of nearby activities if you like the outdoors.

Ladies Fall Retreat

The house was perfect for our group of 10. We all loved the beautiful views of the mountains. The piano was a plus as we had an accomplished pianist who enjoyed playing. Loved having the 2 bedrooms downstairs for ones who don't like climbing stairs. The home was very clean and supplied well. Perfect for large families/groups.

Breathtaking!

Our family loved our stay in your beautiful home with the breathtaking view of the mountains right off the back porch. We enjoyed many outdoor activities as well as great family time in the home gathered on the back deck to watch the sunset, or around the grand piano as one of our grown children played. Everything was perfect for our family reunion!

Gorgeous view, awesome main living and dining area

My cycling team used this place as a home base for about 7 of us for 4 nights. We loved it. The hot tub on the deck with the view was amazing. Huge dining and living area, a piano (nice touch since someone on my team could play), windows and light everywhere. We are coming back this season again.

A Special Place for Family and Friends

For the past 5 years our dearest friends and their families come from far and wide to meet at Burgenest for a week of great fun and conversation, music and board games, and delicious food. The house provides the perfect venue for gathering...whether it be on the large screened porch, spacious deck with hot tub, lovely great room and adjoining dining room. The views are breathtaking; hiking is an obvious option. For a day out, it is a short ride to Brevard, NC where there are abundant choices for shopping and eating out. The house is clean and well-maintained. The property listing including photos are accurate and up to date. I highly recommend visiting this lovely home.

The PERFECT Getaway!

We have had the pleasure of going to Burgenest several times and we will continue to go back! It is the perfect getaway spot, both in location and the home itself. The spacious house allows our entire family (6 grown ups and 7 children) to comfortably stay together in one home. The house has everything you need to enjoy a vacation while feeling like you are in the comfort of your own home. From the hot tub on the deck to enjoy while taking in the gorgeous views, to the ping pong table in the basement, to the waterfall in the "backyard," there truly is something for everyone to enjoy at this getaway. I can't wait to go back!

Heaven on earth!

Burgenest is an absolutely glorious place to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy nature at it's best. The minute you walk through the door, it feels like your home away from home. There is plenty of room for everyone in your party to have their own personal space yet come together for group activities. The home is super clean and updated with all the latest appliances. Each room has its own distinctive personality. I love the game room in the basement! Day trips to the waterfalls and Brevard are only a short drive away. A great place for all ages! I have been to Burgenest five times and have already scheduled my sixth trip! I highly recommend this home for your next vacation!
