10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2026
My family had the best time in this beautiful house! There was so much to do for my grandchildren! It was very clean, inviting, and most certainly spacious! Racquel was a great host! We look forward to making more memories in Ridgeview Retreat!
10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2026
Great hostess, answered all our questions and concerns. Beautiful house, all 22 people were very comfortable. Plenty of space and everything you need for a large group!
8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2025
Great house-a couple of small issues. 4 stars because the roads in and out really should have 4 wheel drive vehicles. Uff.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2025
Three generations of my family (ages 17 - 87) spent a week at Ridgeview Retreat. The house is large, spacious, well-appointed, clean, comfortable and has spectacular views of the mountains. I appreciated Racquel's attention to detail and the comprehensive binder she has created with information about the house, nearby attractions, and dining recommendations. The home is not far from town but feels serene and secluded. There are plenty of games and tvs inside the house but we mostly enjoyed the nature views from the expansive decks and screened-in porch. We even got to see a mama bear and her four cubs pass through the property!We explored nearby towns such as Cherokee, Sylva (eat at Ilda!), Bryson City, Lake Junaluska, Asheville and even Dollywood. We also enjoyed Smokey Mountain National Park and driving on the Blue Ridge Parkway. We did try to always return to the house before dark as the last stretch to the house is gravel, narrow, and winding, which we are not used to driving on. Highly recommend this home for a large group!
