Great cabin for spending quality time with loved ones. Layout is perfect for it. Just what my family needed to recharge our batteries. The host provides a lot of helpful information beforehand, and I particularly enjoyed the various suggestions or tips posted throughout the cabin. Rather thoughtful.We'll definitely be back one day.

Great location and nice cabin, but unfortunately it was not clean. We had to wipe everything down. There were so many cobwebs and dust bunnies and general uncleanliness that we felt very uncomfortable.

Great Mountain Retreat

Spent birthday with family and twin sister, including 88 year old mother. Plenty of room to spread out. Quiet, peaceful surroundings. Spent much of the time sitting on the back porch which overlooked a small waterfall. A little piece of heaven.

Great place for a family get together

We had a fun and relaxing time at the cabin while escaping the awful heat back home. Great place for all ages. A hike to MtMitchell, jumping rocks in the creek, s’mores over the fire, lots of games, reading on the back porch rockers, and sketching the view of the creek.

Lovely mountain getaway

Perfect summer escape from the heat in a lovely cabin by the creek! We love the cattail creek community for its remoteness, perfect mountain vacation environment, closeness to Burnsville, difficult hikes, and coolness in the shade of Mt Mitchell. This cabin had easy access to Cattail Creek, thoughtful appointments, comfortable beds, a secluded yard - was perfect, and we will definitely be back. It was also a great spot for a well behaved dog who doesn’t need a fenced in yard. Some notes for future guests - the neighborhood is on mountain roads…some of the rentals we have had here recommend 4 wheel drive, but this cabin was easy to access in the mini van. They do not recommend drinking the water in this rental, so make sure and bring jugs of water for your use. Thanks for sharing such a special place. Looking forward to returning!

Needed retreat

This stay was wonderful. It was the perfect place for me and my senior, best friend, dog. We have a wonderful, restful, quiet, peaceful time. Listening and watching to the creek ramble over the rocks below, while having coffee and reading on the deck was fabulous! We hope to come back again soon.

Beautiful as always

This is my sixth time staying at Rock Ridge. It remains one of my favorite places on earth. The hiking around the cabin can't be beat (check out the 9-mile out-and-back hike up to Deep Gap, as well as the short hike over to Twin Falls, all right off Deep Gap Road), and the cabin itself makes for a lovely, restful retreat once you're done hiking/exploring for the day. The water isn't safe for drinking, but safe for bathing/teeth brushing for those with normal immune systems. I am immunocompromised and brush with bottled water and have not had any issues. The view from the back porch is one of the best in the community. Pierre is a lovely host and is always available through the app for any questions or concerns. They've made some recent improvements to the cabin as well, making it an even better place to stay! You'll love your time here!

Weekend Getaway

Two years ago we first visited and the updates add to the charm of the cabin. It has everything we need for our diverse group of 4 adults, 3 young kids, and 2 dogs. The location is breathtaking and provides multiple adventures in the creek along the waterfall or walking on the local roads. The location has a few quirks that come with age and the reality of cleaning a cabin in the woods. We loved the place because it provides so many different kinds of entertainment for our family.

Splendid stay in Cattail Creek

We had a great stay at the cabin in Cattail Creek. It was well stocked with kitchenware, linens, board games, outdoor chairs for the firepit and some wood. There’s plenty of room to gather together or find a spot to be alone. Great back porch with view of the creek. Although a few days were cooler than usual, we were warm and cozy. The kids loved being so close to the creek for rock- hopping. I’d recommend tying a balloon at the top of the driveway since other family or friends could miss it. Overall, many good memories were made.

Beautiful views

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at cattail creek. The view from the back porch was awe inspiring. The neighbors were friendly. We walked the road and some trails up near the cabin. Most of our stay we just spent up on the mountain because there was no reason to leave. The road was a bit stressful for me because I'm not used to narrow mountain roads BUT I made it up and down and would go again. Pierre was easy to contact and answered our questions quickly. Definitely an amazing place to stay and enjoy the quiet rhythm of the mountains.

Very relaxing

Enjoyed the water noise and the close proximity . Kitchen needs more light. Only had 2 washcloths, for our stay we could have used 2 per day. There is a hole in the back of the house that needs to be looked at, possible critters. But overall, it was a great place to unwind, really liked the area.

Cozy cabin

This was our second time staying at this cabin. It has a large, comfortable great room that can easily accommodate our family of six. The heaters worked great and we all had very comfortable beds. The stream is directly behind the cabin and provided many hours of safe entertainment for the kids (ages 5-11). We did take one star off due to the dishwasher not being completely installed. It would tilt/fall forward out of the cabinet every time we tried to load or unload dishes which was very irritating. Also, the cabin did not seem very clean. There was a lot of dirt and dust bunnies under and behind most pieces of furniture. Overall, we had a great stay with just a couple of minor issues. Thank you for the relaxing vacation!

Amazing as always

This was my fifth time staying at Rock Ridge. As always, we had the best time. We found some trails we hadn’t seen before, one going to a waterfall and another going all the way up to Deep Gap, almost 6000 feet up. Had a blast hiking and enjoying the breathtaking fall scenery. Will definitely be back! Just an FYI, the water is not treated and not safe for drinking. I am immunocompromised and used bottled water to brush my teeth and had no issues.
