Cedar Ridge features a spacious open floor plan, vaulted ceilings, and 2.5 acres of peace and quiet. Two comfy couches, Roku TV's with streaming capabilities, and stunning stacked stone gas fireplace adorn the living room. Your fully equipped kitchen has everything you need, including an electric stove and oven, microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator with ice maker, toaster, Keurig coffee maker, cookware, and dishes for everyone. A central island offers ample prep space and casual seating for two. The adjoining dining room comfortably seats six.

— The 3 Bedrooms —

Bedroom 1: King Bed With Ensuite Bathroom
Bedroom 2: Queen Bed With Adjoining Bathroom
Bedroom 3: King Bed With Ensuite Bathroom
Lower Level: 1 Twin Size Bunk Bed & Couch

The main level Primary Suite has a king size bed, dresser, ceiling fan, closet, and private ensuite bathroom with double vanities and walk-in shower.

The equally luxurious second main level bedroom has a queen size bed with similar features, including adjoining full bathroom, dresser, ceiling fan, and closet. A main level laundry room with full size washer and dryer completes the first floor.

The lower level is what makes this home flexible for larger groups or two families. Downstairs you will find the 3rd bedroom with king bed and spacious ensuite bathroom. One twin size bunk bed nestled in the corner is perfect for the kids in the group. Easy access out the downstairs door leads to a lower level with padded chairs for outside relaxing.

You want games…Cedar Ridge has games! The home is fully equipped with a pool table, ping pong table, playing cards, poker set, and countless board games. Head outside and you will find corn hole boards, horse shoes, ring toss, bocce ball, and can jam!

Lake Lure, just 3 miles up the road, offers lakefront dining, small town shopping, and family fun and adventure. Lake Lure Beach & Waterpark is a great place to take the kids with lifeguards standing watch as they play in the sand or slide down the waterslide. Around the lake you will find multiple marinas with boat rentals options, boat tours returning spring 2026, river tubing, fishing, golf courses, zip lining, and more! Chimney Rock National Park is not to be missed, with spectacular views, rock climbing, hiking, waterfalls, and so much more. Spend the day golfing at one of Lake Lure’s three golf courses or take some time to relax at the Rumbling Bald Spa and Salon. For a more private, at-home activity, walk out onto the property and pick your own blackberries, blueberries, or walnuts.

After an eventful day of exploring, roast marshmallows with your loved ones over the fire pit as you look up at the clear night sky to count the stars.

If you need to stay connected, Cedar Ridge has wifi and a work space equipped with chair and desk.

Nearby is the newly built Tryon Equestrian Center. It is not to be missed for outside (and inside) dining while watching different horse events, such as polo, jumping, gladiator matches, “Saturday Night Lights,” and more!

No matter the season, this adorable mountain home provides a perfect escape. Visit in the spring when the foliage is beginning to bloom and daytime temperatures average 60 degrees. Sip your morning coffee on the deck or relax away the afternoon in one of the outdoor chairs. Stay in the summer when the weather is perfect—warm but not humid. Unwind with the soothing breezes and views from the front porch.

Visit at year’s end and soak in the cozy log cabin feeling; the autumn colors in this area are breathtaking, and the winter weather opens an entirely new view with the leaves having from the trees. Stay warm by the fireplace, make a hot toddy, and relax with your loved ones.

Winter Getaway

This property is conveniently located close to a grocery store, to the town of Chimney Rock and to Lake Lure, but the cabin is full of different inside and outside activities there is not much need to go anywhere. The cabin was clean and stocked well, the check in and out was easy, and the cabin has plenty of space for a large family. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Hi! We're Laura & Justin Gilstrap. The first time we visited Lake Lure we knew we wanted to vacation there every year. We bought Cedar Ridge with the hopes that families, just like ours, could kick back, relax, and create lasting memories in the area.

When we're not working you can find us hiking, running, playing soccer, or exploring the Carolinas. We love all things outdoors!
