About the host

Hosted by Heather

Host profile image
You’ll usually find our family hiking, exploring national parks, or enjoying the great outdoors. We absolutely love the slower pace of the mountains and the opportunity to unplug from the busyness of everyday life.

When we’re not enjoying the cabins ourselves, we’re grateful to share this special place with other families and friends seeking adventure, relaxation, and connection in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina.

Why they chose this property

Our family fell in love with Upper Ridge Retreat for the same reason many of our guests do, because it is set within 10 private acres in the beautiful mountains of the Western North Carolina countryside. The property features three cabins, a large pond, hiking trails, a flowing creek, picnic tables, a bonfire area, a tire swing, and plenty of space to relax.

It gives us the chance to slow down, unplug, and reconnect with the people who matter most. We cherish our time spent here together exploring the outdoors, sharing meals, and making lifelong memories.

What makes this property unique

What makes our property truly unique is that it offers the rare setup of three distinct cabins, Kingfisher, Cardinal, and Osprey, nested together on one private mountain acreage. It was designed from the ground up to be the ultimate flexible getaway for families, groups, or multi-generational trips. Whether you book one cabin for a quiet family hiking trip or reserve the entire estate so everyone can vacation under the same canopy of trees, it’s a place designed to let you slow down, unplug, and experience the mountains together
