About this house rental

Ridgeview is an entire mountainside for your private use!! Nothing like most rentals, with a single cabin resting on a half acre lot with little to do outside its doors. This property includes a main house, a guest house, a creek, a tree house, a mile of hiking trails that lead to the top of a mountain with views in every direction, and a massive amount of mature forest with outstanding scenery. It sits just 4 miles from Boone city limit.

"Ridgeview Estate" sits in a lush elevated valley overlooking the mountains and ridge between Valle Crucis and Grandfather Mountain. It is adjacent to The Summit at Echota. This amazing and super-private property encompasses 43 acres, with a winding rocky stream, a pond, three natural springs, an entire mountainside, massive boulders, and over a mile of hiking trails. One trail rises 450 feet to the mountain's very summit. This place is beautiful in every season.

A 4WD vehicle is USUALLY not required (we drive a mini-van when go there).

*** HOWEVER*** If there is significant snowfall or ice, a four-wheel COULD be needed for the gravel drive (0.6 miles to the house itself).

Ordinary rain and non-winter weather conditions are fine for 2WD. There are truly no steep grades. Nevertheless, a couple of spots could be a challenge for 2WD vehicles if there is packed snow or ice on the drive.

A well-maintained asphalt road, Clark's Creek Road, provides excellent access to the mountain from highway 105, the highway linking Boone to Grandfather Mountain and the ski resorts. Clark's Creek Road also serves residents of two large Echota developments, so winter road maintenance is very good. The driveway to our property is a maintained gravel road with gentle slopes, leading you alongside a stream through unspoiled forest to a wonderful, private, lush destination at its end.

There are two separate houses. Our cozy and well-furnished main house has two bedrooms, each with a full bath. All mattresses and bedding are brand new in late 2023. You will be comfortable! There are beautiful hardwood floors, central HVAC, and a wood-burning fireplace serving an open design dining room, living room, and kitchen. Outside, we have a great deck area with a hot tub, outdoor lighting, seating, and also two covered porches with excellent views.

The well-designed kitchen has granite countertops, nice cabinetry, a high-quality gas range, and an array of cooking equipment. Enjoy awesome picture-window views from the comfort of the living area overlooking the distant mountain ridge. At night you will see the twinkling lights from homes at the Hound Ears resort. A fire pit with benches is positioned outside, near the porch. Top quality Smart TV's are provided in both bedroom, the living room, and the even the dining room. There is cozy seating near the fireplace or you can relax on the roomy, covered front porch and enjoy broad eastward views. You can expect regular visits to the property by multiple deer and assorted animals that live on our mountainside.

A separate two bedroom guest house is located up a gentle hillside near the main house, but easily accessible by a broad walkway. It has its own wide, covered front porch overlooking the main house, the surrounding grounds, and with outstanding long-range views to the east.

One of the bedrooms features a queen size bed (new mattress and bedding) and pretty furnishings, plus a 40" smart TV. The second bedroom is flexible: it provides an extremely solid (and TRULY quite comfortable!) full-size futon bed. If desired, the futon converts to a comfortable sofa, thereby creating a nice living room for guests. There are nice room furnishings, another large Smart TV, and this room has a small refrigerator and a microwave for your convenience. There is no need to return to the main house for drinks or snacks!

Enjoy very easy access on well-maintained highways to all major attractions of the High Country. Here are some driving distances:

Boone - 6 miles
Valle Crucis - 4 miles
Blowing Rock - 11 miles
Grandfather Mountain - 16 miles Restaurants, gas, and shopping- 2 miles Sugar Mountain - 9 miles
Banner Elk - 12 miles
Grandfather Winery- 3 miles
Multiple additional restaurants, a large, new grocery store, liquor store - 6 miles

There is an amazing amount of access to what you need while also enjoying outstanding privacy and a real connection to nature.

We loved this place!!! Between the main house and the guest house, there was the perfect amount of space for two couples and four kids. The property is fantastic, and couldn't possibly be more private. Even though it was very cold, the grandkid had a great time playing in and around the creek! The location is convenient to Boone, Banner Elk, Grandfather Mountin, Sugar and Beech. We arrived after dark, and found that there were a couple of trees down across the road into the property. We were able to immediately contact the owner, who had someone come remove the trees within 15 minutes. It snowed a few inches overnight during our stay, but we had no problem getting in or out and driving up and down the mountain to the highway (with 4WD). We will definitely look at booking here again next time we're in the area.

The property was beautiful and quiet. You can explore the woods around you or just walk down the long gravel rd. The cabin was bright , and sunny and had a wonderful fully equpped kitchen to prepare our meals. We love the front porch, the view is beautiful. The owners made sure we had a clean cabin with plenty of towels and plenty of hotwater. We were never without internet service and plenty of TV's throughout the cabin. The biggest reason we chose this cabin was the seperate guest cabin. My young grandon was able to stay at the guest cabin with his parents, his naps and bedtime were not disturbed and the main house could socialize later into the evening. The drive in makes you feel like you are in your own private forest. We were greeted by a deer and when you drive into the property you will see little streams and boulders and beautiful hardwood all around you. The owners truly made this a perfect Thanksgiving getaway.
