About this cabin rental
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 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: There IS cell reception at the cabin :)
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. We also have a small heater in the outhouse- do not leave unattended.
There is no AC in the summer but there is a battery powered fan and lots of windows for breeze.

Beautiful home, very pleasant! Felt more comfortable than we expected given the off grid aspect. Do note that if you don't have AWD, the hike up the hill to the house is quite steep and intense! However, was well worth it. Host was also very helpful and responsive! Would stay again.

This was our second stay here. We absolutely love this hidden treasure. It is so peaceful and the views were great through the garage door. Especially the early evening winter moonlight.The heater was our best friend as a cold front came through. It worked great to keep us warm. The cabin had everything we needed for a comfortable experience in nature! We will be back!

This cabin is incredible! Being able to open it up and be immersed in nature while laying in bed was awesome. This was my first off-grid cabin experience and this cabin made it great and easy. The host was very communicative when I had questions which was very helpful. I highly, highly recommend!
