Shadow Ridge Retreat | Pet Friendly + Stunning Mountain Views

This cozy cabin is the perfect mountain sanctuary for you and your family— just as it is for the monarch butterflies that reside here. If you've been searching for a private cabin in the woods with enchanting views, look no further. With such a great location, it's easy to take in the expansive mountain and valley views, whether you're gathered around the fireplace inside or resting on the back deck.

As the sun goes down, you can visit the Monarch Butterfly sanctuary just below the cabin, and once it's dark, you can roast marshmallows, stargaze, and swap stories around the outdoor fire pit. This retreat will allow you to enjoy the best of what nature has to offer while still being conveniently located just a short drive away from Hendersonville, Arden, Fletcher, and Asheville. We highly recommend local favorites, Black Bear Coffee Co. (10 minutes away) for your coffee fix, Two Trees Distilling Company (13 minutes away) for sustainable fine spirits, Sierra Nevada Brewery (25 minutes away) for local craft beer, and the colorful Blue Sky Cafe (15 minutes away) for a quick bite!

Shadow Ridge Retreat is a 20-minute drive from the Asheville Regional Airport and a 22-minute drive from the WNC Agriculture Center, host to the annual NC Mountain State Fair, Vintage Market Days, and countless other fairs, trade shows, and events throughout the year. It's also within a 35-minute drive of Asheville's award-winning restaurants and attractions.

House Layout:
This well-built log home features an open floor plan with a two-story great room with TV for streaming, a wood-burning fireplace, plenty of natural light, a primary bedroom on the main level with a king bed and full bath (accessible from bedroom and hallway), a guest bedroom upstairs with a bunk bed and also a full bed (streaming TV in this room). The upper level offers an open, loft-style bedroom with a queen bed and a full bathroom in the hallway. Outside, there is a fire pit for your enjoyment.

Please note: This home is pet-friendly with an additional fee. Parts of the road leading to the home are narrow. The last half mile is gravel, and a high clearance vehicle is highly recommended in the event the road is rutted out after weather.

Perfect cabin with great hiking trails

Feels off the beaten path when you first drive in from Interstate 26, but actually you are only 15-20 minutes to restaurants, Whole Foods, fresh market, Publix etc. We came with our 2 dogs and the hiking trails practically across the street were wonderful. The back porch was a great place to lounge and take a nap in the sun. I would definitely rent this little gem again.

Great family getaway

The property is as pretty as it looks from the pictures. It's really a relaxing place to be. Very well equipped. In a summer stay, getting up the access road was just about all our minivan could handle (rough road up a steep hill). No way it's doable without AWD/4WD in the winter.

nice place

The views are great and the main reason we scored a 4. The house should be described as two bedrooms and open loft, it is not 3 bedrooms. It's a nice place, but noise travels easily. It was nice to have some board games to play with the kids. The internet worked well also. I wish it was less stressful when leaving. I'd pay more not to have to clean at the end of the trip.

Peaceful family getaway

Our family spent 3 nights at this beautiful home in the days leading up to Christmas. The cabin has everything you need to be comfortable including some incredible views of the sun coming up over the mountains as you sip morning coffee. The property is beautifully maintained inside and out and the owners go above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable. My family enjoyed time by the fire pit, playing board games together, and just sitting together on the porch swing. The added Christmas decor the owners thoughtfully added made the trip even more special. We are grateful to the owners for allowing us to enjoy their home and spend this special time as a family. You’ll enjoy this home as much as we did. PS - make sure to check out the Sleep number bed in the master bedroom. What a great night of sleep!

Quaint and beautiful, with some interruptions

Pros: -Gorgeous views and fantastic wrap around porch. -Up to date kitchen and appliances. Nice dishes. -Sleep number bed in master was very comfortable. -For being secluded, internet worked great. -Assortment of puzzles and games. Cons: -Biggest issue we had was “staff” on the property to collect trash and blow leaves. We were not given a courtesy heads up that a staff member would be on the property and randomly we had a man show up on our porch. As two females in a secluded cabin it was a major safety issue. There are also no blinds or curtains so this person was just walking around while we were in the living room. We felt it was awkward and an invasion of our privacy. To be fair when we reached out to the management they started out was an oversight and notice is normally given. It happened twice in with notice given the second time -The trek up is as bad as others review it to be. Get a 4x4. We had one and even got a flat tire. -They give you the bare minimums for cooking and cleaning. Some properties we stayed at supplied plenty of cooking oils/spices/foil, etc. You are on your own. Also they give you two or three trash bags and two dishwasher detergent pods in a “welcome pack” and that’s it. Just be aware of this. -Batteries in tv remote were dead and we had to buy batteries as there were no extras there (A bit of a pain, given the remote location and 20 minutes to the closest store). -The main complaint most people had is the way the upstairs bedroom is open. It should be advertised better as it looks closed. This didn’t affect us as we stayed downstairs the whole time.

Outstanding experience. House was amazingly clean and in great condition. Porch had wonderful modular seating that was in new condition. Communication was clear, frequent, and very helpful. Not only did they send all information in a timely manner, they called to ensure I received everything and to answer any questions. The view was well worth the drive up the narrow, gravel road. Internet worked well, which was surprising given the location. Highly recommend. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

Gorgeous cabin and views.

This place was beautiful. I would stay again. I was a little worried about making it up the last bit of gravel road to the house in my sedan but made it fine with AWD. It’s about 20 minutes to Hendersonville which we love. It would be ideal for a couple +/- kids but definitely not more than 2 adult couples given the layout with the loft and small bath upstairs. My 2 friends and I were fine tho. Only gave 4 stars for cleanliness because of the dust bunnies under furniture but that is easy fix. The porch is so wonderful and faces east and we spent hours out there. Thank you!

This place is legit!

This title, the text I received from the first member of our girl's weekend to arrive. Overall, the beautiful home was all we could hope for. It is 'tucked' into the mountain, and drive is steep, narrow - well worth the journey upon seeing and enjoying it. Recommend. Would like to come back!

Beautiful Cabin in the Woods - Five Stars

My family of six plus our dogs stayed in this amazing cabin in the woods for one week. The location was perfect for various day trips in the area. The Greybeard staff was incredibly accommodating and answered my many questions prior to and during our stay. The cabin was perfectly appointed with everything needed to cook multiple meals for a larger group, the beds were comfy, and the place was extremely clean! The best part of all was the huge, comfortable fenced porch which we essentially lived on throughout our stay. We enjoyed the hummingbirds each morning and even saw a black bear and her two cubs on the last night! All in all, it was phenomenal, five star experience. We will be back!!
