Description
Moonlight Ridge is a modern mountain home tucked away on a private 1.39-acre lot in the gated community of Powder Horn Mountain. With just one step from parking to entry, this home offers both convenience and a peaceful, secluded setting.
The main level features three bedrooms (Queen, Queen, Twin), a full bathroom, laundry, and a bright living area with floor-to-ceiling windows that highlight the long-range mountain views. The screened-in porch and wraparound deck provide the perfect place to relax and enjoy the scenery.
The cozy gas fireplace (with easy-to-use timer switch on the wall) makes this home just as inviting in cooler months as it is in the summer.
Upstairs includes a king bedroom, a small loft with a twin bed, and a dedicated workspace/library area with a monitor—ideal for remote work or quiet time.

The property had a good layout and we enjoyed the views. The open living area was nice and the beds were comfortable. Check in was simple and the community seemed like it had good amenities though we didn’t use them because it was not warm weather.

Love this cabin and Susan Chaney! In my opinion, this is one of the best captains that I’ve ever stayed at. Had a great time in the mountains and look forward to coming back.

Reviewer Comments:
This place is amazing especially if you want to unplug. The home is literally on the top of the mountain surrounded by trees. It’s very peaceful and a great place to go and unwind. There’s literally a trailhead right down the road from the home too. The home is fabulous it’s equipped with everything you need. My suggestion is stop at a grocery store prior to arrival you will not want to leave the property once you are there. My favorite part was the screened in porch overlooking the majestic views. I highly recommend this home we enjoyed it so much we are going back in 3 weeks.
