About this property

Trails & Tranquility: Unwind in Our Blue Ridge Mountain Haven!

Are the Mountains of Western North Carolina calling you? If so, then Mountain Ridge Cottage can be your special retreat. It is a comfortable home nestled among trees on a knoll near Pisgah National Forest and Dupont Forest. Cozy and quaint with a light and airy feel describes this home as it provides a mountain view from almost every room. The home has 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and can easily accommodate 6 people yet can be intimate enough for a couple. An open floor plan facilitates the gathering of family and friends. The master bedroom offers a kingsize tempurpedic mattress and opens to the back deck. The downstairs bedroom and bath is an added bonus of privacy from the upstairs bedrooms and living area. Outdoor living space includes a front porch complete with rocking chairs and a large deck that expands the length of the house. The location provides an opportunity to experience quiet, country living or an adventurous day of exploring the outstanding natural resources and outdoor recreation. Surrounded by native trees with a majestic mountain view makes this home a desirable vacation spot.
Mountain Ridge Cottage is the perfect location with many attractions in western North Carolina just a short distance away. Attractions close by include: downtown Hendersonville (11 miles), downtown Brevard (14 miles), Dupont State Forest, (12 miles), Chimney Rock, Biltmore House, Lake Lure, Pisgah National Forest, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Brevard Music Center, Flatrock Playhouse, and downtown Asheville (25 miles). Transylvania County is known as 'the land of waterfalls' and each offers a unique experience. Within a few miles are excellent golf courses including Cummings Cove and Etowah Valley Country Club and Golf Resort which is rated by Golf Digest. Mountain Ridge Cottage has a stunning long-range mountain view including Mt. Pisgah, Blue Ridge Mountains, Pisgah National Forest and the French Broad River Valley. Henderson and Transylvania counties boast a multitude of festivals, music venues and farmers markets which are ingrained in the mountain culture.
Mountain Ridge Cottage sits on 5 acres of wooded privacy at approximately 2900 ft. altitude. You can enjoy the secure feeling afforded by this beautiful property abounding in the gifts of nature. Sit on the front porch in the morning and enjoy the sounds of a new day dawning or sit on the back deck for a “front row” view the sunset and follow-up with the evening stars. It is a choice place for a week-end getaway with family or friends or even for a long term stay.
If you need a place to renew, restore, and reconnect with the things you value, Mountain Ridge Cottage can be your opportunity to re-create.
Due to stairs and high decks, Mountain Ridge Cottage may not be suitable for folks with physical limitations.

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!

Beautiful views and lovely place

The hosts set everything up and give you so many things you may need. The road up is a single lane gravel mountain road. However the view is so worth it. We enjoyed gorgeous sunsets and saw white squirrels. We stupidly packed the keys too and felt terrible and the host was super gracious on it being mailed back. I would stay here again!

Mountain Bliss

The views from this property were absolutely stunning ♥️♥️♥️. To sit in bed with the door open to listen to the sounds of the birds, rooster in the distance and watch the clouds roll over the mountains was pure bliss. Saw the Milky Way at night ♥️ and was given a warm goodbye by a white squirrel on my last day. Definitely want to come back! Thank you for sharing this sacred space with us!

North Carolina Mountain Getaway

This was a nicely appointed property at the top of a ridge with gorgeous long range views. We utilized both the front and back porches, and experienced some incredible sunsets. The location is quiet, serene, and relaxing. It is also located close to both Pisgah National Forest and Dupont State Forest, which provided great access to hiking and mountain biking. We will definitely consider renting this home again in the future.

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.

Incredible Visit

The view, the view, the view! Even on a cold spring evening, we bundled up and watched the sun set and enjoyed every moment of it. Amenities were plentiful, exceeding our expectations. Beds were comfy after a long day of biking and enjoying Pisgah and DuPont. The white squirrels, turkeys and deer gave it all a nice extra touch.

Fantastic Mountain Home

Myself, my wife, daughter & her husband plus 2 grandkids stayed here. Great house with unbelievable views. Plenty of room for everyone. House is supplied with about everything needed for a week stay. Location is secluded but still easy access to Hendersonville stores &restaurants. Many state parks with great hiking and waterfalls nearby. Would absolutely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Hilda Rives

Host profile image
We have enjoyed vacations in the mountains of western North Carolina for many years and often thought it would be a great place to retire. After 2 years of looking for just the right place that we both could be satisfied with, our Realtor helped us discover Mountain Ridge Cottage on Turkey Creek. Now we enjoy an active life in Louisiana and can also retreat to a slower pace and cooler place in the mountains.It has been a real reprieve for us. The glory of the Lord abounds in these mountains and is time well spent. We hope to share our mountain home with others who desire to slow down and reconnect with what is important.

Why they chose this property

Hendersonville and Brevard are both small towns that offer a quality of life we find appealing. The people are friendly and there is a wide variety of places to explore and experience. Our desire was to own a mountain retreat we could enjoy with our children and grandchildren. We felt at home from the moment we drove up to the property on Turkey Creek Drive. The stunning mountain view from the deck was the real draw. The Turkey Creek Drive community is a safe place that offers an opportunity for both of us to enjoy and pursue our interest. Our home is private yet not secluded as we can be at the grocery store in 5 minutes or the Asheville Airport in 20 minutes.

What makes this property unique

Mountain Ridge Cottage offers an opportunity for visitors to enjoy the quiet , simple peace of country living yet with all the amenities of home. It is our intent to offer families and friends a place to gather and enjoy each other at an affordable price so that they may return. We hope that each person who stays at Mountain Ridge Cottage feels renewed and re-energized when they leave. The Cottage offers a cheerful, warm, feeling from the moment you drive up. The cottage has been updated with new appliances, beautiful hardwood and porcelain flooring throughout, Sony flat screen TV, and access to a complete laundry room downstairs. The kitchen is fully equipped for short or long term stays. Cooking in or eating out will be your preference. The beds are comfortable and the king size bed has a Tempurpedic mattress....oh so restful. The cottage is in a safe area and is apart from traffic and noise. The house and grounds are clean and well-kept as a cleaning service is used after each guest departs. Outdoor living space is available facing the east in the morning and the west in the afternoon. It is the best mountain view you will find in a vacation rental this affordable. The cottage is conveniently located to those things that attract the most sight-seeing and outdoor adventure offered in western North Carolina. A short drive will take you to shopping, dining, music festivals, theater, fine arts, local crafts, national and state parks, abundant waterfalls, scenic drives and so much more open for your exploration. The drive up, off of Hwy 64 West is winding and beautiful so take it slow. Turkey Creek Drive is a short, gravel, winding, one way road. The challenging drive is worth the effort to experience the beautiful mountain view. You can't look down and out unless you make the trip up! Well worth it.
