The stay at this residence was amazing. The host was overly accommodating. She actually made a special trip out on Saturday to check on me and make sure that i was comfortable settled in. I look forward to visiting this property and more property of you all in the near future.

Thank you for your review! We’re very happy that you were pleased with your stay.
Great place and very private. I didn't see a way to hike through the woods there but other than that it is a fabulous place. Close to Asheville. Fairly close to Pisgah trails

Andy, thank you so much for your review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the peace, privacy, and convenient location of Dynamite Ridge. The property’s 30 acres offer plenty of space to explore, though the wooded areas aren’t maintained as formal trails ;) Many guests enjoy wandering the open sections, or simply soaking in the mountain serenity from the porch. We’re so glad you found it to be a fabulous getaway and hope to welcome you back soon!
Very clean, modern house. Well furnished. Well equipped kitchen with drip coffee maker and Keurig. Wooded area surrounding house with fairly steep terrain. 18 to 20 minutes from great restaurants in Weaversville. Nice bedding and baths with fantastic towels. Highly recommend.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We are so pleased to hear that you found the house to be very clean, modern, and well-furnished.
We aim to make the kitchen fully equipped for all needs, so we appreciate you noting the availability of both the drip coffee maker and the Keurig! It's also great to know you enjoyed the nice bedding and the "fantastic towels" we provide.
We are happy you enjoyed the natural, wooded setting and that our location offered easy access to the great restaurants in Weaverville.
We highly appreciate your recommendation and hope to host you again soon!
Clean, new, good appliances, excellent support/communication with Yonder. No complaints.

My mom and my two kids (4 and 8) rented the property for a long weekend getaway! The house is gorgeous and in perfect condition. We had a wonderful time exploring the area, including nearby Asheville. Would highly recommend if you are looking for a quiet getaway with fairly easy access to Asheville.

Nice, relaxing, quiet setting
Perfect to visit the city and come back to the country at night. Love the place.
Only suggestion, put mirrors on the upstairs bedrooms.
The house was amazing very clean and stocked with everything you need.
I absolutely loved the house very clean the only problem is the location it takes 30 minutes to get to downtown or to anything really but we enjoyed our stay.

Carrie, thank you for the 5-star review! We're so glad to hear you enjoyed your stay at Dynamite Ridge. Sometimes the price you pay for mountain vacation homes is 30 minutes of driving, but at least you're driving through the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains! We hope you return again soon, to this or any other Yonder home.
Beautiful home in a great spot for exploring the Blue Ridge Mountains. Very clean and perfect for our family of 6. Great communication from Yonder. Walking distance to ziplining, short drives to beautiful waterfall hikes, decently close to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Would definitely stay here again.
This house was one of the best I have stayed at. Updated with all the amenities you needed, very clean and comfortable. The outdoor porch was perfect for morning coffee and listening the the sounds of the forest. Only a short drive to Ashville but close to all the outdoor activities you want. We look forward to staying here again.
The property itself is beautiful, just like pictured and described. Located in a very peaceful location, easy to find and to access. The home is beautiful, with all the comforts and amenities needed to be a home away from home, including very comfortable beds. Close to many waterfalls, hiking trails, and many scenic places. we would definitely be back!
