The house is amazing, and we had a fantastic week all together. The listing is accurate, and the host is responsive and helpful. Just make sure you follow their driving directions - Google Maps took us a different way, and we had to do some backtracking. We look forward to staying again!

Wonderful family vacation!

We had a wonderful vacation at Ridgeview Manor the first week of July. Our family of 18 enjoyed the view and the magnificent home with so many things to do inside and out! James was a very available owner and had many suggestions for things to do in the area, as well as surprise us with unexpected goodies! Check in and out was so easy. We would definitely go back!

Best vacation house ever

Our stay at the Ridgeview Manor was incredible. We expected it to be wonderful based on the photos online but it blew us away. From the natural beauty that surrounds the house to the details that the owners put into making this home feel like a 5 star resort. We had people of all ages from 3 - 60 and there was something for everyone to enjoy. They had plenty of games, floats, cooking utensils, microwaves and refrigerators on every floor, every bathroom was filled with soaps and toilet paper, and they had specific details to all surrounding hikes. The owner was so kind and was quick to answer if we ever had a question. The beauty, the ease and the serenity make you never want to leave! We couldn't recommend this more. It exceeded all expectations and we are already planning our next vacation to Ridgeview Manor !

Great house, great host. Plenty of room to spread out for 17 people. Used the pool, hot tub, sauna, fire pit, went hiking, watched movies, played pool, played yard games. There was always something to do for everyone and if there were any questions, James was always quick to answer. Will be staying again when we return to the mountains.

The property was truly lovely! The views were amazing from every side! The size of the house allowed everyone to have their own space, yet the dining room, and various sitting rooms, pool, and porches allowed the whole family to gather comfortably! One did not need to leave the house to something to do, or more importantly find peace and relaxation! For times when we did want to see the area, there was Grandfather Mountain, Blowing Rock, and Boone nearby. We enjoyed visiting the shops and finding some really excellent restaurants. But more importantly, the owner was always accessible when we had questions or problems. This was one of the best vacations that we have ever taken! Our whole extended family (there were 10 of us) enjoyed itI would highly recommend this property for all with the possible exception of seniors who might have difficultly navigating the lovely staircase.

Absolutely Beautiful

Honestly the photos don’t do the house justice. The view, the pool, the kitchen, and all the bedrooms were exceptional. It feels very luxe. There were even bathrobes for everyone our party. We had a wonderful visit. James was AMAZING and so accommodating. I would definitely recommend this home to anyone with a large group for a family or friend’s getaway.

Family Reunion with 3 generations (ages 87-4)

This house was perfect for our large family…enough space for everyone to spread out and have privacy or come together in the large great room. We enjoyed the heated pool, hot tub, sauna, putting green, theater and billard room. We grilled and had a fire in the pit at night. We hiked to the swimming hole and waterfall through virgin forests. The large dining room table and porch was ample room for meals. James was an amazing host.

Ridgeview Manor Weekend Stay

I stayed at the location with several other friends! We enjoyed our stay and had incredible weather. The manor is very luxurious and has plenty of things to do on the property! We enjoyed the pool, hot tub, and sauna! I would highly recommend it! The kitchen is very big and allows for everyone to enjoy it. The only issues we had were related to maintenance of the lawn that was happening during our stay and some small items that were missing that were listed as working. The owner was very responsive and accommodating to our requests throughout our stay.

Amazing House!

The house and setting were both absolutely beautiful. Very clean and well-maintained, furniture and finishings all high-end and super comfortable. For our group of 12 adults/teens (plus kids), everyone had more than enough personal space and their own area to retreat to… could have easily added another family of 4 before space would have become even a slight issue. Highlights for us were the amazing outdoor pool, the billiard room, and the local nature—including several black bears right off the porch! The owner was polite and prompt/clear in all communications. He even sent a few surprise gifts during our stay. Overall, a wonderful trip and one our extended family will remember forever.

3 1/2 to 4 stars

Beautiful property and grounds. Spacious and accommodated 13 adults and 2 children well. Superficially clean. Appears to be complex and expensive to maintain based on the amount of deferred maintenance present. Built in 2000 and now with aging HVAC, plumbing and finishes. We enjoyed our stay but do not expect the grand property the photos suggest.
