Mountain Ridge Cottage – A Peaceful Retreat with Expansive Mountain Views

Wake up to sweeping views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and fall asleep to the quiet sounds of nature at Mountain Ridge Cottage — your private getaway nestled on five wooded acres near Pisgah National Forest and Dupont State Forest.

This inviting 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home comfortably sleeps up to six guests, offering space for families or couples seeking an intimate mountain escape. The open floor plan creates an easy flow between kitchen, dining, and living areas — perfect for gathering after a day of exploring Western North Carolina.

Enjoy your morning coffee on the front porch rocking chairs, listening to songbirds and the rustle of trees, or unwind on the spacious back deck as the sun sets over Mt. Pisgah and the French Broad River Valley. On quiet evenings, you may spot the region’s famous white squirrels, graceful deer, or even an occasional black bear wandering through the property — a true taste of mountain life.

The primary suite features a king-size Tempur-Pedic mattress and direct access to the deck. A downstairs bedroom and bath offer extra privacy, making the home ideal for multi-generational groups or friends traveling together.

Located just minutes from local favorites — Hendersonville (11 mi), Brevard (14 mi), Asheville (25 mi) — you’ll find an abundance of outdoor adventures and cultural experiences nearby. Explore waterfalls in Transylvania County, hike in Dupont and Pisgah Forest trails, bike the new Ecusta Trail, visit the Biltmore Estate, Chimney Rock, or take in a show at Flat Rock Playhouse. Golfers will enjoy nearby Cummings Cove and Etowah Valley Country Club.

At an elevation of 2,900 feet, Mountain Ridge Cottage blends mountain serenity with modern comfort, offering the perfect place to renew, restore, and reconnect. Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway or an extended stay, you’ll find space to breathe, reflect, and enjoy the natural beauty that makes Western North Carolina unforgettable.

Note: Due to stairs and high decks, the property may not be suitable for guests with mobility limitations.

Our family has stayed at Mountain Ridge Cottage several times during the summer and enjoyed its peacefulness and beautiful sunsets. It is always well maintained, exceptionally clean and updated. There is always something new to admire in the landscape. Check-in was easy. The kitchen is always adequately stocked with any dishes or cookware needed. This place makes me feel at home.

Getaway w/ a view

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!

Lovely quiet home with stunning views

This home met all of our expectations. Once you find it (I do not recommend checking in after dark due to the winding roads up the mountain) you will have an amazing stay. The home was clean and well stocked and everything it was touted to be. The views were outstanding and we could have sat on the desk for the entire week enjoying the view. We did, however see much of the countryside as the location of the home was central to many attractions that we wanted to see. I would definitely stay here again!!!!!

Its apparent that all and much more is within this property to stay a few days, months!! Spotless clean; It’s so amazing the magazine cover view that immediately pops in front of anyone as they pull up to the home. BIG full scape view of mountain range t the west with the every sunset every afternoon, qualifying for the Best of the Best. Not even the remotest sound of a motor, or cars, only the wildlife, of the many birds, perhaps a few deer, and of course many White Squirrels, the immediate region is happily known for. The amazingly comfortable living areas, multiple Decks several sides of home, expanding the length of the home, incl. plenty of comfort furniture, comfortable beds, furnished fully for comfort, charming bathrooms; if you need anything, its there!. Kitchen is with amenities beyond expectations. The expansive grounds, fully private.The entire region beyond, easy access, is full of life, music, farms, all charming, much to do. Sandie and Hal

Serenity in the Mountains

Traveled to North West Carolina with 3 friends to seek some rest and relaxation and play golf. Chose to stay at the Mountain Serenity House for 4 nights. The house met our requirements perfectly. It was as advertised. Very clean, comfortable, fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, very clean bathrooms with plenty of towels. The view of layered mountain scenery from the back deck was magnificent. Drinking my morning coffee in the morning or sipping a glass of wine in the evening watching the sunset was truly relaxing. It has about a mile of gravel road up to the house but not difficult to navigate. My friends and I played 5 rounds of golf at 5 different area courses which were all in good to very good conditions. We played at the Cummings Cove Golf Course, the Etowah Valley Golf Course, Bald Mountain Golf Courses (2), and the Reems Creek Golf Course (Exceptional). Would definitely stay again if in the area and highly recommend.

The property itself is beautiful with amazing views and plenty of places to sit outside and enjoy them. The home itself is very charming and well kept. The highlight for me was getting to watch the elusive white squirrel from the front porch! Finally, the host was amazing and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect.

Mountain Top Home, Million Dollar View !

We both agreed on the most important aspects of our Month in this one of a kind Home; Comfort in absolutely every corner of our life, loaded with comforting amenities. We continuously enjoyed the ever changing landscape of this spectacular view, There were no two moments the same as the clouds circled and wrapped around the mountains and valleys, view reaching out to the very ancient Pisgah Forest and the Blue Ridge Mountains laying right in front of our view at all times, as if we were living in a work of art. Enjoyed time on the many Decks, and patios, several covered, all with comfortable seating, and full view of surprise "guests of wildlife", constantly Preparing meals was Joy in a kitchen filled with every tool, gadget, and cooking appliance, that anyone could hope for, and more!! Room arrangement was all arranged around comfort, and just the right size for a couple or a family. Beds with not one moment of lost sleep. Location, probably dead center in what I call the "Golden Triangle" of North Carolina. just about centered between Brevard Hendersonville, and Asheville comfortably located to the north. The Big View direct to the West, could not have been better anywhere in the region. The mountain top location private, yet comforting to know there were neighbors, very few and out of sight, within walking distance. pleasant open forest location and a bit of a feeling of being in a very comfortable treehouse, with every possible amenity!

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.

If you rent this house you won't regret it. Super clean, comfortable and amazing views. All of us enjoyed it immensely. So many things were provided for extra touches. We didn't want for anything. One of the best houses we've ever rented. Owner was great to communicate with. Again you won't be disappointed.

About the host

Hosted by Hilda Rives

Host profile image
For many years, our family has loved vacationing in the mountains of Western North Carolina. After two years of searching, we discovered Mountain Ridge Cottage on Turkey Creek — a place that immediately felt like home. It became our retreat from busy lives in Louisiana, a quiet refuge where we could slow down, breathe deeply, and feel the presence of God in the beauty around us.

Today, our daughters manage Mountain Ridge Cottage, continuing the family tradition of sharing this special place with others. What began as a dream for us has become a legacy of love that spans generations. We hope every guest experiences the same peace, renewal, and sense of connection that our family has found here.

Why they chose this property

We were drawn to the small-town charm of Hendersonville and Brevard, where friendly people and an easy pace of life make every visit feel special. From the moment we first drove up Turkey Creek Drive, we knew this was where we wanted to be. The breathtaking mountain view from the deck immediately captured our hearts and continues to be the highlight of every stay.

Our goal was to create a mountain retreat where we could gather with our children and grandchildren — a place to relax, reconnect, and enjoy the beauty of Western North Carolina. The Turkey Creek Drive community offers the perfect balance: peaceful and private, yet conveniently close to everything. In just ten minutes, we can reach local shops and restaurants, and the Asheville Airport is only 25 minutes away.

It’s a safe, welcoming place where our family (and now our guests) can enjoy the outdoors, pursue their interests, and experience the restorative calm of the mountains.

What makes this property unique

Mountain Ridge Cottage offers the quiet beauty of country living with all the comforts of home. Guests often mention how peaceful it feels — surrounded by trees, wildlife, and mountain views that stretch for miles. The well-stocked kitchen makes it easy to settle in, and the home’s private location provides a true sense of retreat while still being about 10–25 minutes from nearby towns, trails, and waterfalls. It’s a welcoming spot to slow down, unwind, and enjoy the best of Western North Carolina.
