My new husband and I stayed at Ridgetop Hideaway for 5 days while we were in NC for our elopement/honeymoon. The house was perfect; clean, secluded and peaceful. The jetted tub and fire pit outside were our favorite. My only caution for anyone wanting to stay here is you definitely need a 4 wheel drive vehicle. The drive is long and steep/narrow for part of the way. There are also no lights at night so coming home after dark can be precarious. But after driving up and down we got fairly comfortable. We would for sure stay here again!
Manager response on 2018-05-23 - Response from Greybeard Rentals
Congratulations! What a great, peaceful rental for a honeymoon. I'm glad you had a nice time. Thanks for the feedback about the drive up to the Ridgetop. You are exactly right. We do recommend 4WD or AWD. It's possible to make it up with a higher clearance vehicle, but in wet or snowy weather 4WD or AWD is really needed.

Overall really happy with the house. When we arrived there was a Lady Bug infestation (which I am told is normal for this time of year on the mountain) but one call to the management and it was taken care of. All staff I dealt with were more than friendly and helpful. Would totally recommend this house. The view really is spectacular.
Manager response on 2017-11-21 - Response from Greybeard Rentals
I'm so glad you had a nice stay and we appreciate your kind words about our service! Sorry about the lady bugs! Yes, every once and a while this can happen in the mountains. We appreciate your understanding.

What a relaxing place. Morning, afternoon, or evening, rocking chairs on the porch will make you stop thinking about everything and anything stressful. The porch and dog run are perfect for giving a pup some freedom to run around and enjoy some space. The house is clean and secluded. Definitely advocate 4wd, as it was raining when we arrived and the road up to the house can be slick. The internet and TV can be a little spotty, but we didn't go on vacation to be connected. Great hiking located within a short drive in multiple directions. Quick trip to downtown Asheville(definitely check out Rhubarb and Buxton Hall for food). Highly recommended!
P.S. AWESOME place! We will definitely be back some day!
Manager response on 2017-07-28 - Response from Greybeard Rentals
So happy you found some peace and quiet at Ridgetop Hideaway. You chose some great spots in Asheville to visit. Buxton Hall BBQ and Rhubarb are both excellent. Yes, sometimes internet and TV service can be spotty in these more remote locations in the mountains. Sorry for any connection issues there. We will look into this, but so glad that you enjoyed the experience anyways.

The house is lovely, the directions to it are clear, and FWD is indeed strongly recommended. The only two issues to resolve are 1) the very uneven water-pressure (at times a mere trickle) and, 2) the two beds downstairs, which are somewhat uncomfortable. Otherwise, the house is in fine condition and beautifully situated.
Manager response on 2016-08-03 - Response from Greybeard Rentals
Glad you enjoyed Ridgetop! Thanks for the feedback-- and we'll get someone to check out that water pressure! Update 8.3: the homeowner was made aware of the water pressure issue and had someone to come look at it.

This was an amazing weekend getaway. The location was perfect, with both Asheville and Black Mountain only 20 minutes away. The home was beautiful and had a lovely, homey feel. The view from the deck was the main attraction. As the name suggests, the home is really on the top of the ridge and the deck overlooks the valley below and mountains in the distance. Every morning you could look out and see the clouds hanging low in the valley, and it was just a spectacular sight.

Attention to detail is evident at Ridgetop Hideaway. We enjoyed 3 nights on the mountaintop taking in the sunrise with coffee on the spacious covered porch, watching opossums, chipmunks, rabbits and birds. The view is amazing as the clouds put on a display in the sky as they blanket the mountaintop as if we were in a plane and create a masterpiece of art with colors of pink, purple, blue, and red during the sunsets. We relaxed in the rockers on the porch and enjoyed a soothing soak in the jetted rub after long hikes to see the DuPont Forest waterfalls and Looking Glass Rock. The spacious cabin is well appointed with plush towels and comfortable furniture and is decorated to reflect the artistic feel of Asheville. I have stayed at many cabins in the area and owned one for several years, and would highly recommend this cabin for a romantic getaway or a family of four. The downstairs provides a separate space for kids or teens and adds to the spaciousness and privacy of the cabin. The drive up the mountain is worth it for the complete privacy and view and is to be expected if you want a view like this. 4WD or AWD is a must especially if it rains. Just take it slow and once you get back each evening, stay put and enjoy the tranquility, relax in the shower which is big enough for two, take in the amazing sunset on the porch, and watch the stars and moon in your own private mountain getaway. Civilization is only 12 or so minutes away including Ingles, Starbucks, and other retail as well as I-40, I-240 and Tunnel Rd into downtown. The Blue Rideg parkway is easily accessible and hiking is within 30-60 min in the area. Check out for the best hikes, waterfall, tubing, white water rafting, local events and more. We enjoyed Tupelo Honey and the amazing Chorizo in downtown Asheville and cooked dinner at the cabin. We highly recommend staying at Ridgetop Hideaway!

Great! Glad you were pleased with your stay and enjoyed working with us. Yes - 4WD, AWD or a vehicle with good clearance is always a good choice when trying to reach Ridgetop. Thanks for the feedback!

Perfect mountain getaway!

Such a great house. We actually extended our stay just because we liked the house so much. Great view of the mountains and great proximity to Asheville and Blue Ridge Parkway. The drive up the mountain to the house isn't that bad, just long. We were fine getting up and down in our car.

We had a wonderful time. We loved the accommodations. We loved that it was pet friendly with an outside area for our dog Jake. He loved it too. The road to ridgetop is narrow and steep but it was no problem with our 4 wheel drive. Our niece met us and drove her car that wasnt a 4 wheel and did not have a problem with the road. The home has a beautiful deck with a wonderful view. Its peaceful and very quiet. Perfect to come back too after a long day of sightseeing. We would definitely rent ridgetop again. Greybeard Rentals did an excellent job handling our reservation and all the follow up details. This is the 2nd time we went thru Greybeard Rentals and it was an easy and pleasant process.

We have come to this rental for a couple years now. Greybeard reality always makes sure we have all the information needed to access the cabin. This year we had a few small cleanliness complaints. The comforter in the main room was covered with animal hair and there is only one set of sheets for the two downstairs futons. Also, there were no instructions for running the tv so we could not figure out how to watch dvds. These are small complaints.
The view is beautiful and the overall cleanliness and comfort of the property has made us rent it again and again. Also, we can bring our dog which is a must for our rentals. thanks for another great stay and we wil return next year!
