Rocky Face Retreat Luxury Rental

Beautiful home to enjoy our lovely NC mountains

We loved our time at Rocky Face Retreat. Every amenity was so nice and thoughtful- the furnishings, comfy beds, kitchen, TV’s… they really thought of everything to make our stay special. We will definitely be back! Ashley was a rockstar host and quick to respond when we had questions. The property is private and has the prettiest view of Cold Mountain. Really a special place!

Great property with plans to come back for annual golf trip.

All you need is your clothing and food, they have literally thought of everything else you could need! I would recommend arriving the first time during daylight hours as the road is steep and windy. But the view from the decks is breathtaking and worth the climb!! We stayed with 11 people ages 13-grandparents plus a newborn with more than enough space to spread out with a sunroom, two decks and a separate fire pit area, all with comfortable seating. The hot tub and ping pong table were used daily. The bedrooms are spacious and the bedding was so comfortable I had to ask the brands and have already ordered myself the pillows from the master bedroom. A pack and play was set up and ready for the baby. Plan to cook in because they have everything you need! Basic spices, sugar, oil, ziplock baggies, foil, detergent, excellent quality cookware and appliances etc. The keg was full and the firepit was supplied with wood, firestarters, and all the s'more fixings you need and the Keurig and Nespresso well supplied with pods. There are endless waterfalls, hikes, biking trails etc within 40-60 minute drive that we enjoyed and the grocery store is about 20 min away. The downtown Canton Farmer's Market was a fun resource for veggies and had live music the day we went. We have rented 2-4 VRBOs a year for several years now and this is the most well managed, thoughtfully appointed home we have ever chosen. It is truly worth the price and we hope to return!

Rocky Face was the perfect place for our family gathering to celebrate the 80th birthday of our family matriarch. The house had everything we needed to entertain 11 people from ages 4-80 for several days and to comfortably include another 7 for a celebration dinner. I have never been to a place that was any nicer. The description of a "gourmet" kitchen is even a bit of an understatement; the finest of all things were stocked: Yeti coffee cups, mugs, thermal glasses, oven and stove, alkl clad pots and pans and (my favorite), 4 different kinds of coffee brewers. Ironically, the house included large tvs in every room, sitting areas, and 2 near the hot tubs (about 10 total) and we never turned a single one on! Any questions I had about our stay were promptly answered by our host Ashley Thornburg, who was simply amazing in her responsiveness and knowledge. Thank you for a memorable time.

A really great house. Everything you need to have a relaxing restful stay. One of the best stays I have ever experienced l

We came together from three states and throughly enjoyed our time at Rocky Face Retreat. Everything you read in the reviews is true. It is a beautiful home with a spectacular view. Ashley is a perfect host and I would nominate her for the BEST HOST on VRBO!! We mostly stayed at the home and were perfectly happy enjoying the seclusion of the mountains. “Try it. You will like it!”

The hosts left no stone unturned to try to make us as their guests comfortable and welcome. We were impressed with how well the kitchen was equipped and all other aspects of the property. We had smores, hiked, picked apples, watched MLB from the jacuzzi, played ping pong, but mostly relaxed and enjoyed our family time. We were pleasantly surprised at the seclusion that this property had to offer as well. And finally, Ashley's quick responses to any and all questions made us feel at ease as we approached the visit. We all highly recommend.
