My husband, daughter, and I recently spent a week
at the mountain chalet. It is such a quaint place
with a beautiful view. We visited the nearby cities of
West Jefferson, Boone, Blowing Rock, and North
Wilkesboro. We toured Grandfather Mountain, the
"blowing rock," hiked, went to Tweetsie Amusement
Park, the outlet mall, an apple festival, and more! It
was quite a full week, yet relaxing. The owners
were very helpful and provided a lot of useful
information. Thanks so much for everything! |

We just returned from 2 weeks at your cozy, wonderful cabin and would like to say: the only reason one wouldn't enjoy their stay is if they want nightclubs, wild neighborhoods, and loud music. The songs of the birds, crickets and frogs were like sleeping pills to us. The fresh air with ever changing natural light on the wonderful mountain vistas were a joy to see. The kitchen is equipped with absolutely everything you could want IF you want to cook. It is convenient, quiet, and absolutely wonderful. You might want to put a bird book in your extensive book collection so your guests can look up the unbelievable number and species of birds that visit your bird feeder. I loved that so much that I ordered a birdfeeder just like it to see if I can attract even half as many birds at home. It is just wonderful...thanks again.

Our family had a very nice stay in the Ridgetop
Retreat Cabin. It was well maintained and the views
incredible.
The owner's were very helpful and instrumental in
making sure we had all of our needs met.
Lots of fun things to do and see in the neighboring
area. Highly recommend staying here.

The cabin is adorable. We were 2 adults, a dog and a parrot. It's clean and well appointed -owner thought of everything. The ever changing mountain views are spectacular. The temperature was 5-11 degrees cooler than the bottom of the mountain. The location is fabulous. We lunched in Boone, hiked off the property and nearby Blue Ridge Parkway, toured an alpaca farm, visited the Cheese Factory in West Jefferson and kayaked the New River.
I highly recommend this rental. The owner is very responsive and a pleasure to deal with. |

An amazing view!!! Very cozy place to enjoy one of God's greatest creations..Cabin was very neat and had all that we needed.
Would suggest that you add a jacuzzi to the deck..It would be great to sit in the jacuzzi and enjoy that view. |

Homeowner Response:
Thanks for your kind words about our cabin. We considered getting a jacuzzi/hot tub several years ago, but after researching it decided against it due to health reasons. Even with regular maintenance, bacteria apparently builds up inside non-accessible ducts and can lead to health issues. We decided to err on the side of the safety of our guests.

We had such a wonderful stay at Ridgetop Retreat. The view was spectacular and the sunsets lovely. The location is great too - close to Boone, but far enough away to enjoy the quiet. West Jefferson is nearby and a great little town with all that you need to make your stay at Ridgetop pleasurable.

| Went in mid February 2008. Kids loved the double loft with one full bed and one day bed. Nicely decorated thruout and well kept. Nice big, end to end, terrace with tables chair and barbeque with pretty view. Main room and master bedroom have sliding glass doors to terrace. Gas fireplace was great. Cozy cabin for a family getaway. Owners are very friendly and trustworthy -- returned deposit promptly. Cabin had full kitchen appliances and condiments. Drive to Ski Beech was less than an hour. Appalachian Ski Mtn is closer and recommended. Lots of brochures for things to do. And books videos etc. Great cozy cabin. |

| This cabin was great! The views were wonderful. The pictures really do not do this cabin justice. On our way up the mountain to the cabin we saw deer, my kids were so excited. We also saw lots of wild turkeys from the deck of the cabin. We had a ball. Everything was excellent. It was like home to us. I cant wait to stay again. |

| We spent five wonderful days in your cabin where the views were spectacular, the cabin was immaculate and comfortable, and the setting created a relaxing atmosphere. We loved waking up to see the beautiful view out the patio doors from our bed! While we enjoyed the quiet of the cabin, it was fun to drive to nearby Boone for a little shopping. Everywhere we drove, the mountain and river scenes were gorgeous! We especially enjoyed biking along side the river--so much to see!! Your nicely furnished cabin is so warm and cozy, yet has plenty of space. It is the best cabin we have rented in many years!! We can't wait to come back! |

| We had a wonderful weekend on top of the mountain. The view was great and the cabin was just what I expected. We needed to stay longer, but this gave us a break from the rat race. Thanks for opening this cabin up to us visitors. |

We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend at your cabin. The snow storm that we experienced proved to be very exciting and adventuresome. We also had some great skiing conditions at Sugar Mountain. The fireplace was well used as well…we hope to return very soon.

What a surpise to awake from a great night’s sleep, walk out on the deck and see a view like no other!...Thank you for sharing your beautiful cabin and making us feel at home from the first phone call to sadly locking the door and saying good bye to your piece of heaven!

We wanted to thank you for allowing us a wonderful week together in the mountains. It was great to get out of the 95 degree [Florida] weather and come relax at your beautiful cabin. We've come up to Fleetwood Falls almost every year for the last 20 years and as our family grows, it is still our favorite place to all be together...Your cabin is definitely one of our favorites! Again many thanks!

This is our first time ever renting a cabin. We have always stayed in a motel, which can be convenient, but certainly not as peaceful and restful as your cabin. The mountain/wilderness decor is so warm and inviting. And the views are just breathtaking. We enjoyed having picnics out on the deck. We also enjoyed sleeping with the windows open. The mountain breezes lulled us to sleep. Our 3 children loved the loft--it served as a secret hideaway for them. The trails and the lake were nice too! Thank you for sharing your retreat. It was very affordable...we hope to be back one day.

We loved our time in the mountains. The cabin is great and was just perfect for our family. We had a great time at the High Country Roundup. We spent a day at Tweetsie and Mystery Hill, the next day on the Blue Ridge Parkway (the kids loved walking in the clouds!), at Grandfather Mountain, and touring awesome Linville Caverns (worth the drive). We had ice cream in Blowing Rock and loved playing Pictionary. We took lots of pictures from the deck and caught the sunset through the clouds. You have a great place and have done a great job decorating for a rustic cabin appeal. Thanks.

Such a peaceful place in a beautiful location! After driving around the area and hiking up some of the mountains we decided that the absolutely best view is from the back deck. Enjoy your mountain home.

We enjoyed your cabin retreat greatly. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I don't think you've forgotten a thing for your guests' comfort. We awoke in snow, ice, and 20 degrees, but it didn't stop us from shopping in Blowing Rock. It was nice to come back to a toasty fire. Thank you for sharing!
