Get back to nature! Unique cabin in the mountains 15 minutes from Asheville N.C.
HURRICANE HELENE UPDATE: AFTER 2 months of being closed due to neighboring property landslides,the cabin is open again and the Asheville area is welcoming visitors!! Small businesses in and around the Asheville area need your support!! Please visit the area with patience and a kind heart!
Just so there are no surprises... on your way up to the cabin you will see missing asphalt in an area (you will have to go slow over the bumpy rough area) you will also see some mud piled up on the sides of the road in areas from where we had some gracious volunteers clear a way up to the cabin! Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding as we navigate through these difficult times.
Wild Ridge Trail is a unique cabin perfectly tucked away in the woods just outside of Asheville N.C. and is also only a short distance to the charming town of Black Mountain! One of our guests described our place as "soul-soothing" and "undefinable" and we couldn't agree more! The cabin is simple yet modern with a touch of elegance. Please take note that our cabin is off grid and designed for the adventurous at heart! (off grid meaning there is no power or running water) yet, you won't even miss it with our set up of an off grid rain encatchment to collect water for the heated outdoor shower (seasonal) and a pretty awesome flashlight to help keep the space lit up at night! So, if you're looking to disconnect and just take it easy, then come stay for awhile!
Wild Ridge Trail is a newly constructed cabin and was designed for the adventurous at heart! You can drive on up if you have 4WD or AWD, and if you don't, no worries! Just park in the designated space, grab your gear, and hike on up! (The hike in is steep.. about 300 ft but takes less than 5 minutes) We have a cooler up there for any perishables you may have, just bring ice!
If you are bringing a pet, please add on the pet in the drop-down menu when booking. We do charge a $25 pet clean-up fee at the time of booking.
NOTE: DUE TO THE STEEP DRIVE, ONLY 4×4 OR AWD NO EXCEPTIONS
All others will have to park at the bottom of the gravel drive and hike up.
Please note:
Our heated outdoor shower is closed in the cold winter months. Usually that is from late November- late March. We provide a solar camping shower bag to use for those months. There is also a Ymca 15 minutes from the cabin that offers a daypass for $15 a person and that includes their shower facilities. (We keep our winter prices lower to help cover these costs)
There is a Jackary solar power bank to help charge your phones etc..
To heat the space in the colder months, there is a unvented wall mounted propane heater that works great to heat the space BUT you MUST crack a window when running the heater or the carbon monoxide alarm will sound.
There is no AC in the summer but there is a battery powered fan and lots of windows for breeze.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Deserae Howard

I have been cleaning vacation rentals for over 12 years and always dreamed of creating a space of our own to share with others. It took my husband and I a long time to make that dream a reality, but it makes us appreciate it that much more! We are raising 2 kids who are 5 and 9 and in our rare free time love to hike with our dog Ranger.
Why they chose this property
We created this space to share with folks who are up for an adventure! It is simple yet elegant, rustic yet Serene.
What makes this property unique
Once you enter our cabin at Wild Ridge, we hope you feel right at home! Roll open the full view garage door and let the outside in! We hope our guests come here to escape the craziness of everyday life and can just soak in the fresh air of our N.C. mountains!
