The living room also has a large flat-screen TV and plenty of windows to enjoy the view.

This cabin even has a whole house generator for those unexpected power outages which can occasionally occur in the mountains.

Your pets are welcome! We've got 2 pet kennels for your convenience.

  Veronica T from Plainfield, IL recommends this vacation rental

  We rented this unit for the view, unfortunately the drive up the mountain was a lot farther than we imagined. It was mostly gravel and very steep incline, however that is why it had the best view. It did take over 30 minutes to get down the mountain for any kind of activities and we wanted to explore NC and all there was close to offer but we had to drive a lot more than planned. Beautiful home and View and we enjoyed that.

  Scott S from Gastonia, NC recommends this vacation rental

  The home seems to be recently constructed, is in immaculate condition and has everything you need for cooking a meal. We only left the house once during our three night stay.
  
  The bed in the Master Bedroom is exceptionally comfortable, the pellet fireplace in the Living Room set a great mood. The outdoor patio with the Hot Tub was our favorite amenity.
  
  Great visit, the home is laid out well, fully stocked for a family or couple and feels secluded and private. We will be back!

  Philip S from Hixson, TN recommends this vacation rental

  My family had a great time at Richmond Ridge. The beautiful mountain layer views were incredible from every room. The best view I’ve ever experienced while chilling in a hot tub in the evenings. The cabin was very clean and well taken care of. The stone showers were great. The appliances and furnishings were really nice. We had everything we needed and the cabin was also very accommodating for our fur-son, with kennels, dog beds, blankets, leashes and bowls. The fenced-in side porch was nice. We enjoyed sitting by the pellet wood stove and playing games at night. We liked the adventure on the steep drive up and down the mountain – but I could see it being treacherous during winter weather, even with 4x4. The Alarka area is very beautiful and remote. Yellow Rose was very helpful and easy to work with. We loved our stay and hope to be back soon.

  a guest from Hope Hull, AL recommends this vacation rental

  It was exactly as described: the kitchen was better equipped than mine, the coffee provided was great, the owner has provided everything we could possibly require, the beds were the most comfortable we have ever slept in. We felt really welcomed and the owner called to check if we had everything we needed, and the view was incredible. After hours phone service was also available to help find cabin location. We enjoyed our stay.

  This house is fantastic. My wife and I stayed a full week and hiked in several surrounding location including Great Smokey National Park. Beautiful views from the porch, great floor plan, nicely furnished and the kitchen has all of the utensils needed to cook great meals. The master bedroom mattress if very comfortable. We used the hot tub every evening and enjoyed the great view.

  Brian N from Denver, NC recommends this vacation rental

  Stayed for a few days to enjoy the Polar Express in Bryson City. Getting to the house was interesting.. but manageable in our van! To be fair.. it was dark and raining when we first arrived. The house is perfect for our family of four plus our puppies. If the weather was nicer, I can see us enjoying the outside area much more. The house had everything we needed and then some. We'll be back!
