About the host
Hosted by Mike and Rachel Pocisk
Hi there! My wife, Rachel, and I have been involved in short-term rentals for over 10 years, working with property management companies to ensure our guests have wonderful experiences. While we’re new to personally managing properties, this home has long been a favorite on VRBO.
As a family of six, we’ve always cherished our mountain vacations with our four kids, creating lifelong memories exploring trails, sharing stories by the fire, and soaking in the beauty of nature. Now, with our growing family that includes grandchildren and in-laws, these traditions have become even more special—and we’re thrilled to share this experience with guests like you.
As frequent travelers who love using Airbnb and VRBO, we understand what truly matters to guests—comfort, convenience, and unforgettable stays. I’m also a licensed realtor in North and South Carolina, specializing in investment properties. My expertise allows me to provide exceptional service to our guests while also helping my clients find their dream investments.
We’re excited to host you and hope your stay becomes a cherished part of your own family traditions!

Why they chose this property
This charming community instantly reminded us of a Swiss village, with its rows of chalets and stunning views that stretch for miles. We fell in love with the sense of remoteness, offering peace and tranquility, while still being close enough to Asheville and the Appalachian Trail for endless activities and adventure.
The neighborhood also borders a ski slope, adding to its year-round appeal. We're thrilled about the possibilities and improvements the new owners are bringing to the ski community, making this area even more special.

What makes this property unique
From the outside, Wildlife Ridge may look like many other homes, but step inside and you’ll find all the comforts of home wrapped in a cozy mountain cabin atmosphere. Having traveled with kids and dogs for years, we understand the little details that make vacations easier and more enjoyable for families.
For older kids, the cabin is stocked with a PS4, family movies, games, and books to keep them entertained. For little ones, we provide a pack-n-play, high chair, and baby play mat, so you can travel light. Four-legged family members are also warmly welcomed with dog bowls and a large dog bed ready for their use.
Each room reflects the natural beauty of the mountains with wildlife-themed décor—Deer, Eagle, Wolf, and Bear. The outdoor spaces are just as inviting, with a fire pit on the back porch and thoughtful touches throughout to help you relax and truly enjoy your stay.
