About this property

Wild Ridge Trail is a unique cabin perfectly tucked away in the woods just outside of Asheville N.C. and is also only a short distance to the charming town of Black Mountain! One of our guests described our place as "soul-soothing" and "undefinable" and we couldn't agree more! The cabin is simple yet modern with a touch of elegance. Please take note that our cabin is off grid and designed for the adventurous at heart! (off grid meaning there is no power or running water) yet, you won't even miss it with our set up of an off grid rain encatchment to collect water for the heated outdoor shower (seasonal) and a pretty awesome flashlight to help keep the space lit up at night! So, if you're looking to disconnect and just take it easy, then come stay for awhile!

Wild Ridge Trail is a newly constructed cabin and was designed for the adventurous at heart! You can drive on up if you have 4WD or AWD, and if you don't, no worries! Just park in the designated space, grab your gear, and hike on up! (The hike in is steep.. about 300 ft but takes less than 5 minutes) We have a cooler up there for any perishables you may have, just bring ice!
If you are bringing a pet, please add on the pet in the drop-down menu when booking. We do charge a $25 pet clean-up fee at the time of booking.

NOTE: DUE TO THE STEEP DRIVE, ONLY 4×4 OR AWD NO EXCEPTIONS
All others will have to park at the bottom of the gravel drive and hike up.

Please note:
Our heated outdoor shower is closed in the cold winter months. Usually that is from late November- late March. We provide a solar camping shower bag to use for those months. There is also a Ymca 15 minutes from the cabin that offers a daypass for $15 a person and that includes their shower facilities. (We keep our winter prices lower to help cover these costs)

There is a Jackary solar power bank to help charge your phones etc..

To heat the space in the colder months, there is a unvented wall mounted propane heater that works great to heat the space BUT you MUST crack a window when running the heater or the carbon monoxide alarm will sound.

There is no AC in the summer but there is a battery powered fan and lots of windows for breeze.

Weekend Getaway

We took our dog on a weekend trip to Asheville and our stay was amazing! Very pet friendly and user friendly. The gas, electric and bathroom were all easy to figure out. The place was secluded and relaxing, but still close to downtown Asheville. The cabin had everything we needed and the host was easy to get in contact with. The drive up is a little steep, but we didn’t have any issues. All around we had a great stay!

Beautiful Mountain Cabin!

This cabin is absolutely stunning - it is modern and has gorgeous mountain-top views! Everything was cleaned to perfection and the cabin is fully stocked with everything needed for a great weekend away. We loved being close to Asheville (about 10 minutes by car) and still able to enjoy some solitude.

Perfect Mountain Escape

We spent LDW here, escaping up to the mountains from Charleston. It was so close to everything we wanted to do while exploring Asheville for our first time! The cabin itself was so clean, so CUTE, and had everything you needed. The road to get up the cabin is (very) steep but it’s totally worth it. My fiancé loved the views, I loved the outdoor shower (was not expecting that to be my favorite part but WOW), and our dog loved the gated deck. I would recommend this spot to any of our friends and family! We will be back 😊

Perfect Spot for our 10th Anniversary

We wanted something remote, private, and quiet. Ambiance is everything. And this was IT. We loved falling asleep to the sounds of the crickets at night (with the glass garage door open) and enjoying our coffee on the porch in the mornings. It's only about 15 minutes from downtown Asheville, where we spent our evenings. And 15 to 30 minutes from prime kayak launches, where we spent our days. We will definitely be back sooner than later.

About the host

Hosted by Deserae Howard

I have been cleaning vacation rentals for over 12 years and always dreamed of creating a space of our own to share with others. It took my husband and I a long time to make that dream a reality, but it makes us appreciate it that much more! We are raising 2 kids who are 5 and 9 and in our rare free time love to hike with our dog Ranger.

Why they chose this property

We created this space to share with folks who are up for an adventure! It is simple yet elegant, rustic yet Serene.

What makes this property unique

Once you enter our cabin at Wild Ridge, we hope you feel right at home! Roll open the full view garage door and let the outside in! We hope our guests come here to escape the craziness of everyday life and can just soak in the fresh air of our N.C. mountains!
