The property was great! The rooms were clean, kitchen well stocked for our party of 13, and the pool house area was a hit for game day! Our pets even enjoyed their stay and were easy to allow off leash in the secluded wood areas to roam and sniff around. The only “issue” we had was a bee problem on the deck area and at the pool, harmless for the most part, but a constant watch for the toddlers running around. Overall, we would consider renting this home again in the future!

We just got back from 4 days at the Blue Ridge Manor. To say it was transformative would be an understatement. The views are what we came for, but the home is what made the trip great. Every comfort is taken into account! I do a lot of cooking on these trips and there wasn't one thing I needed that wasn't there.Do yourself a favor and book this place!

Why they chose this property

Southern Ridge Manor is Dog Friendly and the perfect choice for groups who value privacy, comfort, and outdoor living. With 6 private suites—each with its own en-suite bathroom—plus a cozy bunk room, every guest enjoys their own retreat within the home. While the interior is a well-designed, the real highlight is how the property expands outdoors: a seasonally heated pool with cabana, 5-hole putting green, hot tub deck with fire table, and mountain views create the ultimate gathering spaces.

This property strikes a balance that’s hard to find in the Blue Ridge area—luxury amenities usually found in larger estates, but within a home that feels intimate and welcoming. Whether you’re hosting a family reunion, couples’ getaway, or friends’ retreat, Southern Ridge Manor makes it easy to relax, recharge, and reconnect.

What makes this property unique

• Six Private Suites – Unlike most rentals, each of the six king/queen bedrooms has its own en-suite bathroom, giving everyone privacy and comfort.
• Resort-Style Amenities – Heated pool, cabana with kamado smoker, 5-hole putting green, hot tub with fire table, shuffleboard, foosball, arcade, and more—all in one property.
• Outdoor Living at Its Best – Multiple covered porches, fire pit with Adirondack chairs, long-range mountain views, and 4 acres of private property for gathering and exploring.
• Easy Access – All paved roads with no steep terrain—just 9 miles to downtown Blue Ridge and 7 miles to Ingles grocery.
• Designed for Groups – Perfect for family reunions, couples’ trips, and friend gatherings: intimate 4,000 sq. ft. interior paired with expansive outdoor amenities.
• Luxury Comforts – High-quality linens, a fully loaded chef’s kitchen, coffee bar, hotel-size toiletries, and even a whole-home generator for peace of mind.
• Dog-friendly. 2 Dogs max. No other animals/pets.
