About this property

Welcome to Hilltop House, where modern mountain living meets the serene charm of the Western North Carolina mountains. If you've ever daydreamed about waking up to the gentle rustle of leaves and sipping your morning brew with awe-inspiring mountain views, you're in for a treat!

As you step into our cozy abode, you'll immediately feel the warm embrace of this mountain sanctuary. The main floor is your hub for unforgettable moments: a kitchen ready for culinary adventures, a roomy living area with a gas fireplace for snug gatherings, and a large sunroom stocked with board games for hours of laughter.

Let's talk about bedrooms. The main bedroom? It's fit for royalty with a king bed, an en-suite bathroom, and patio doors leading to your personal hot tub overlooking the mountains. It's like having your own slice of paradise. And don't worry, the second bedroom boasts a king bed too, because at Hilltop House, we believe in king-sized comfort.

Upstairs, you'll find two more bedrooms, each decked out with one queen and one twin bed—perfect for families, friends, or anyone who wants to spread out. A full bathroom serves these bedrooms, ensuring everyone has their own space to get ready for the day's adventures.

But here's where the magic truly begins: outdoor living. Our XL wrap-around porch is your front-row seat to the natural beauty of the North Carolina mountains. Start your day with coffee and mountain vistas or wind it down with a glass of wine at sunset. Out back, we've got a gas fire pit waiting for marshmallow roasting and stargazing under the mountain skies.

Now, let's talk specifics because we've got all the bells and whistles:
Hot tub overlooking the mountains for ultimate relaxation
Main bedroom with a king bed and an en-suite bathroom
A second downstairs bedroom with king bed because we like to pamper our guests
Two additional bedrooms upstairs, each with one queen and one twin bed
Fully equipped kitchen for culinary adventures (or just making the perfect cup of coffee)
WiFi because you might want to share those stunning mountain pics
Smart TVs in the bedrooms for late-night movie marathons
A Smart TV and DirecTV in the living room for your entertainment needs
Cozy indoor gas fireplace for those cooler mountain evenings
An outdoor gas firepit for marshmallow roasting and storytelling
A gas grill on the screened porch for barbecue nights
Multiple coffee makers (regular drip, Keurig, and Nespresso Virtuo) because coffee is life
Washer and dryer for your laundry convenience
XL wrap-around porch for taking in the mountain vistas
An outdoor dining table for alfresco meals with unbeatable views

Hilltop House isn't just a place to stay; it's your mountain haven.

Whether you're planning a romantic getaway, a family adventure, or a friends' retreat, we've got all the ingredients for mountain memories. So pack your sense of wonder and get ready to make your mountain dreams come true!

Lovely Mountain-Top Home

Loved staying here - just us two. We enjoyed the firepit and watching the birds and squirrels play in the feeder. We stayed during the week, so the wedding pavilion over the hill remained quiet. The house was fabulous! However, unless you are comfortable with those staying with you, I wouldn't recommend it. There is no privacy between back porch and master bedroom, aside from curtains. Also the two upstairs bedrooms share a bathroom, same as the two downstairs bedrooms. The property is pretty much surrounded by small cabins, yurt and wedding pavilion - however, during our stay it was quiet and lovely.

Hilltop hospitality

Serenity Ridge, is a wonderful property with beautiful views, great location and wonderful hosts. From the moment you wake up with the wonderful views to the evening fires around the amazing fort firepit, the entire area is amazing. Any questions we have were answered immediately and or needs taken care of above and beyond. A family member that met us at the property has a slow leak in her tire. Jordan assisted us with repairing the tire and brought out an air compressor for us. Again thanks for a wonderful stay. We will defiantly be coming back again.

Perfection!

The property owners are essential and as impressive as the 25 acres they possess! The detail, dedication, and vision they have for this property is unparalleled. Katie and Jordan have gone the extra mile...and yet, they've only gotten started! We will be back!

Great VRBO on a Hill with a beautiful view !!

This was one of the cleanest, cutest houes we've rented and the communication with the owner, Katie, was Spot-on!! She was extremely timely with all her communications and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and help us to enjoy our stay. The house was extremely clean and well maintained and just very "homey" feeling. If you need something in this area, do not hesitate, book this house. It was fantastic! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

About the host

Hosted by Katie Biel

We’re three friends who have spent our careers in the Hospitality Industry and have long envisioned a property in the mountains to host fellow adventurers, a frequent topic of talks since we met almost twenty years ago. In late 2021, we decided to take the leap out of corporate life and search for our next venture.

We discovered this beautiful property and immediately fell in love. With quick access to Lake Lure and Chimney Rock, Asheville, and Greenville, and even Charlotte, we knew this was what we were dreaming of. Previous owners, Rob and Lisa, had built a wonderful community of Cabins at End of the Road and we started the long process of purchasing a unique property such as this.

Since we became owners in April of 2022, we’ve grown our community of vacation rentals at Serenity Ridge to include Six Cabins, a Glamping Yurt + Luxury Bath, and the Hilltop House. Our newest addition: The Serenity Ridge Wedding and Events Venue with a full Catering Kitchen!

We’ve learned a lot along the way, but also depend on open communication with our guests to continue to learn and make us better. Please reach out to us directly with any comments, questions, or concerns. We’d love to meet you while you’re here!

What makes this property unique

Serenity Ridge is a community of vacation rentals, and as a guest of the Hilltop House, you'll have access to a range of shared amenities on our 25 Acres. Enjoy the Fire Pavilion, where you can gather with loved ones and marvel at the stunning mountain views while starting a cozy fire. Embark on a scenic stroll along the walking trails that meander through our property and take in the beauty of nature with the nearby creek and spring. Don't forget to visit the wildlife viewing area, where you can observe deer, rabbits, squirrels, and even the occasional turkey.
