If you’re looking for an escape from the world, this is the place. The owners go out of their way to provide a beautiful and scenic home up in the hills. Our party of 10 (4 couples and 2 solos) felt right at home with the wonderful setting. Our many guests just adored the place.You will love the campfire at night and the hot tub and sauna. We certainly did.Highly recommended.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was truly a pleasure working with you and being a part of your beautiful wedding celebration at MountainTop Escape! We are so happy to hear that you and your guests had an amazing time and that everything was just as you expected. And no need to be faint-hearted! 😊 These mountain roads are well traveled, and believe us, ours is much safer and less steep than many of the roads you’ll find throughout the mountains. And, as you now know, it is totally worth the journey for the spectacular view at the top!! ✨ Thank you again for choosing MountainTop for such a special occasion. We wish you both a lifetime filled with love, happiness, and many wonderful adventures together! Warmly, Zoe & the MountainTop Escape Team

The host Zoe was fantastic!!! She was so easy to work and communicate with. The Mountain View was spectacular! There were so many wonderful memories made while we enjoyed family games around the huge dining table. The rooms and bathrooms accommodated multiple family members which was key to celebrating our parents wedding anniversary. The extras like the jacuzzi and sauna made our stay even more special. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for an incredible experience in the mountains.

Mountain Top Escape was just what we needed to host a micro-wedding with our family. The views were Spectacular and the amenities fabulous! Everything we needed was available including extra towels, a large baking pan, binoculars, and directions for working TV's and fans. Hummingbirds visiting while we had our morning coffee on the deck was also a nice treat. Your house is stunning! Thank you for sharing.

This is the most wonderful home and property. Everything is sparkling clean and the hosts go over and above anything I could’ve expected. The house has the most well stocked kitchen of any home we’ve ever rented, including spices, oils and vinegars, etc. The host were very generous with all the toiletries and paper products.There is plenty of room on the spacious deck for a big group to eat outside and watch beautiful sunsets. There were lots of games going on at both the big round table in the kitchen and the large table in the dining room. Kids enjoyed the basement area.Houses responded very quickly and were great to work with.

The house is just wonderful--very spacious and well-appointed. The kitchen had everything (including 2 dishwashers). The bedrooms were very comfortable, and the game room and jacuzzi were great fun . We were nine, ranging from 9 to 78, and we all loved the house and the fact that we could come together but separate when privacy was desired.Outside, the deck is large and comfortable with phenomenal mountain views. Sitting on the deck was beyond peaceful, as there are no other houses nearby, and there is no vehicle traffic. The only sound was birdsong--and lots of it. Delightful.The fire pit was a hit in the evening, especially for the s'more lovers.Our host could not have been more accommodating. She responds quickly and is very helpful.Our whole family loved our time there, and we hope to return next summer.

Hi Courtney - We are so happy that your stay was great and thank you for the 5-star review! We want every guest to feel they received a 5-star experience at Mountaintop Escape. That is in our DNA and has not changed one bit as we approach our 14th year!! The road to the top is a beautiful mountain road - 2/3 paved and the rest solid gravel. Wide enough for two cars to pass and everyone is mindful of each other. The azaleas line the entire road and are magnificent when in bloom. Often you will encounter turkeys, deer, fox and, yes, even a bear who will wave and scamper into the bush. At night the stars are so bright! No lights to diminish the views and, oh my, when the moon is out it will mesmerize you shimmering against the night sky. And hardly another car is stirring. Put your high beams on and you'll be on top before you know it enjoying a nightcap at our fire-pit, by the hot tub or all cozy in front of the fireplace. We hope you will re-book soon! All My Best, Zoe

We recently hosted a multi-day women’s retreat at this property and truly could not have asked for a more beautiful setting.The home and land created exactly the kind of experience we were hoping to offer: peaceful, private, grounding, and inviting of connection. The mountain views, gathering spaces, and overall atmosphere made it feel both expansive and intimate at the same time. Our group repeatedly commented on how special the property felt.What stood out just as much as the property itself was the care and communication from Zoe throughout the entire process. From my initial inquiry through post-retreat follow-up, she was warm, prompt, available, and incredibly helpful. This was my first time hosting something like this, and her patience, responsiveness, and experience genuinely helped me feel more supported navigating all of the moving pieces.She also left a stunning bouquet of flowers for both myself and the women attending the retreat, which we enjoyed throughout the weekend. It was such a thoughtful and welcoming touch and added to the feeling of care and intention we experienced while there.We left incredibly grateful for our time in this space and would absolutely recommend this property for retreats, group gatherings, or anyone looking for a beautiful and restorative mountain stay.

Excellent stay and accommodations! Could not have been a better home for our group. The mountain views are outstanding and the hosts really make their home feel like your own home away from home.

About the host

Hosted by Zoe Berger

Host profile image
Bruce and Zoe Berger built their dream home in 1997, moving out of South Florida to raise their children in the mountains of North Carolina. They never looked back and their children loved being raised here. Now that both children have flown the nest, they have too! It was time for them to move off the mountain and share their home with those who enjoy all that the mountains have to offer and all that they have enjoyed!
