About this property

Picturesque 16 acre Private Mountain Property - Two Cabins + bonus Cottage Suite

Experience the Serenity of Fern Rock Mountain Retreat

Discover the beauty and tranquility of Fern Rock Mountain Retreat, a secluded 16-acre property in the heart of the mountains. Perfect for family vacations, retreats with friends, or even special events, this private haven offers comfort, adventure, and unforgettable memories.

This listing provides access to the entire property, which includes Fern Rock Lodge, Fox Den, and Fawn Hideaway—offering accommodations for large groups in three distinct and inviting spaces.

The Lodge – Spacious and Elegant
At 2,200 sq. ft., Fern Rock Lodge is the centerpiece of the retreat. This rustic-yet-modern log home sleeps up to 12 guests across four private bedrooms. Highlights include a large, open living space with a fully equipped kitchen, a dining area for group meals, and a cozy fireplace. Outside, enjoy panoramic mountain views from the wraparound porch or unwind on the screened Treetop Porch, perfect for games, dining, or quiet relaxation.

Fox Den – Cozy and Charming
Steps away from the Lodge, Fox Den is a private 390 sq. ft. cabin with a one-bedroom layout. It features a hot tub on the deck, a fire pit for starry evenings, and a comfortable living area with a fully equipped kitchen. Fox Den is ideal for couples or small families seeking an intimate retreat.

Fawn Cottage – Adorable and Intimate
Close to Fox Den, Fawn Cottage adds extra charm with its 160 sq. ft. one-room cabin. Featuring a queen bed and a mini-fridge, it’s a perfect add-on for Fox Den guests. Fawn Hideaway shares Fox Den's kitchen and bathroom facilities, making it an excellent overflow space.

Outdoor Spaces and Activities
Explore the serene property with walking trails, a spring-fed pond, hammocks, and outdoor games. Gather around the fire pit or take in the stunning views from The Perch, an elevated deck attached to the Treetop Screened Porch (standalone). Whether you're enjoying summer picnics or fall foliage hikes, Fern Rock is your mountain escape.

Peaceful Seclusion, Close to Amenities
Fern Rock offers unmatched privacy and nature’s beauty, yet the charming town of Hot Springs is only a 30-minute drive for groceries and dining. Note: 4WD or AWD is highly recommended to navigate the steep driveway, especially in poor weather conditions.

Book Your Mountain Getaway
Whether you’re planning a group celebration or simply craving some time away in nature, Fern Rock Mountain Retreat offers the perfect blend of adventure, comfort, and relaxation. Reserve your stay today and create memories to last a lifetime!

Mountaintop Get Away

What a wonderful getaway!! Leah and Wes were great hosts. Thank you for the wine. We enjoyed it the first night. Sat around the fire every night, really enjoyed the screened in porch and viewing deck and the hammocks were awesome. They are right about cell service but personally, I loved that! Will definitely come back!! Thank you so much!!

Beautiful COVID wedding weekend

My now wife and I needed a beautiful location to host our two families for an intimate wedding weekend that could be more or less fully contained on the property. Fern rock was perfect. An incredible place for a small group to spend time for any occasion. Leah and Wes accommodated is fully.

Celebration

We came up to celebrate our daughters birthday. Having the whole property was fantastic. We were able to have a large group but also stay socially distant. The pond was a great little play space. We just had a great time.

Great Mountain Retreat!!

We went there with our son and daughter... they each brought some friends and it was wonderful to have the multiple cabins as well as the main lodge to all come together for dinner! Just a splendid place! We have been coming to Hot Springs for years and this was the best place we have rented!

The perfect place to get away and enjoy nature and really good friends.

Carol was extremely easy to work with and did a very good job communicating. The property was bigger than I expected which was great because that gave us a reason to explore. Everything was cleaned and well organized. The hot tub was fantastic in the evenings and the floating porch was a gem in the mornings to drink coffee. I would definitely go back.

Amazing, beautiful spot! Five stars!

Our entire group loved this gorgeous property with room for everyone, beautiful trails, fun spring fed pond, and well equipped lodging. The owners have us friendly tips on local events and were super quick to respond to questions. We love this spot and loved the town of Hot Springs! Thank you Fern Rock Lodge!

Magical mountain retreat. Perfect for families.

Can't speak highly enough of this property, or our experience with the owners, Carol and Doug. They thought of every detail and we felt as if we were guests in their personal home, rather than a rental property. Fern Rock was the perfect venue for our nuptials, and set the stage for a magical nature-inspired wedding. It had everything we needed- including wild flowers for bouquets! The property was clean, comfortable, and provided the perfect layout for our families to spend quality time together while still enjoying our own private spaces. There were floats provided for the pond, outdoor games, plush bathroom towels, and plenty of spaces to relax and gather to share stories. Fern Rock turned out to be better than we could have ever imagined. No one in my family wanted to leave! We can't believe how lucky we were to find this place and how well it met our needs. Highly recommended. We will definitely be back!

Serene mountain retreat

A beautiful, serene mountain retreat! A perfect setting for getting away from it all and relaxing in nature. The home has a rustic charm paired with a simple elegance. Antique furnishings are a lovely addition, making you feel comfortable while reflecting a simpler time. Had a lovely stay, the home is comfortable and the whole property is filled with special touches. Spent hours daydreaming and admiring the view from the pavilion, which is set high in the treetops.

About the host

Hosted by Danni Speight

Host profile image
The mountains of North Carolina have always held a special allure, and from the moment I first experienced their beauty, I knew it was a place I wanted to share with others. Planning a future surrounded by the stunning landscapes of the Blue Ridge Mountains has become a cherished dream. In the meantime, I’ve explored countries in Asia, Europe, and the Caribbean Islands, embracing a passion for adventure along the way.

As the new owner of Fern Rock Mountain Retreat, I'm excited to create a welcoming space where guests can craft their own unforgettable memories, just as I have during my travels.

Why they chose this property

When discovering Fern Rock, it was clear that this property was something special that couldn’t be passed up. As a new owner, I've dedicated myself to preserving the beauty and charm of this retreat, working closely with the wonderful previous owners to ensure that the experiences offered to guests remain at the highest standards they have always provided.

What I enjoy most about this neighborhood is the breathtaking scenery that envelops you in every season. The peaceful ambiance of the surrounding woods, the soothing sounds of nature, and the stunning mountain views create a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Each hike along the trails or moment spent by the pond serves as a reminder of the adventure and tranquility this place offers.

It's my hope that guests embrace this adventure in nature just as much, creating unforgettable memories during their stay at Fern Rock Mountain Retreat!

What makes this property unique

The smell of fresh pine, the view of a mountain range older then the Rockies, and a sky full of infinite stars.
