Description:
Burnt Ridge Retreat is located in the exclusive, upscale and private mountain community, High Rock Acres, which is conveniently perched on its own mountainside, just outside of Black Mountain.

Come soak in all the Burnt Ridge Retreat has to offer its guests, including a recently built and newly updated home, modern amenities, fire-pit, close proximity to literally everything, and more. Sit on your back porch, relax and sip coffee as you take in the astounding views, along with being able to watch wildlife from your private deck and outdoor areas, while listening to the running creek down below.
Come create your own memorable Asheville mountain experience!

The home affords year round access, and is great for groups of any and all ages. The home is situated just outside of downtown Black Mountain, NC, affording privacy for everyone to relax & enjoy the feel of the WNC mountains. High Rock Acres is a private, exclusive community, whose residents are friendly and welcoming to guests, (if you even see them, since High Rock Acres has private, densely wooded lots that afford amazing privacy).

Get ready to be “wowed” by the never-ending views from this contemporary mountain style retreat. With soaring vistas, high ceilings, vaulted rooms, and cozy spaces, you will immediately feel at home at Burnt Ridge Retreat. (That is of course if you can tear yourself away from the wrap-a-round decks & soaking in the spectacle of the Blue Ridge Mountains, & actually venture inside!) The recently constructed (in 2008), and only just renovated/updated estate home affords a stunning great room, massive Chef's grade kitchen, a lower level Great Rm, spacious bedroom/baths, and MORE; with plenty of space to unwind and gather with your group. But, if you need some “alone time”, there is plenty of space inside and out to find your own serenity. There are 4 outside porches, decks, and patios, and the private fire-pit for ultimate outdoor relaxation.

Burnt Ridge Retreat has so much to offer guests; from hiking and walking trails, streams, and much more. (You can hike all the way down to the river if feeling adventurous!) While at Burnt Ridge, everyone enjoys all that the home has to offer; from the TV & Game Rm, Great Rm fireplace, and of course the spectacular decks, where you can pull up a chair and take in the "sound of silence", observe the night as it fills with stars, and watch the fire flies come out to play in your backyard.
Take a seat and enjoy the sound of the babbling creek, along with the rest of nature, and all within the serenity in your own private paradise at the top of the world.

You are also just a short drive from America's favorite scenic byway, The Blue Ridge Parkway, motorcycle touring, biking, hiking, white water rafting, rock climbing, kayaking, canoeing, zip lining, Segway tour…just about any outdoor activity! Or, take a ride to downtown Asheville to enjoy the first-rate restaurants, shopping, galleries, spas, and entertainment.

Great location. Great space for families or group trips. Plenty of bathrooms. Kitchen is meant for entertaining. The teenagers enjoyed the basement/game room. Close to hiking, Asheville, and close access to a grocery store at the bottom of the mountain. Absolutely would stay again.

Location, location, location!
We had a marvelous visit to Burnt Ridge, simply marvelous! Nestled in the woods, the house is beautifully decorated and well stocked. It was hard to pull us away from the house to tour the area. We spent the days hiking, visiting Black Mountain and Asheville, but reserved the evenings for cooking at home and enjoying the deck, stars and friendship. Oh, the owner and staff couldn't have been more helpful. Many thanks. We look forward to another visit!

Beautiful location
Our extended family of 6 -- ages 15 through 80-- enjoyed our stay at this spacious, comfortable, well-appointed home. We spent hours on the beautiful deck just talking and enjoying the breeze and birdsong. The location is close enough to Asheville to get there easily but you definitely feel like you are away from it all in the mountains. We were eager to hike and enjoyed that there were numerous hikes close by (near Montreat) without having to drive a long distance to a trailhead. Black Mountain is itself a nice town. Overall a lovely stay. I highly recommend it.

Beautiful Mountain Hideaway
We just loved this home. About 15 minutes from downtown Black Mountain. Plenty of space. Mountain Decor was on point. View was breath taking with plenty of room for everyone to sit to enjoy the view. Road to home is on gravel. Need all wheel drive Vechicle. Yonder rental was very quick to respond to any questions. Very memorable family vacation!

Our accomodations at Burnt Ridge were awesome - beautiful views, lovely home and plenty of space for the five of us. Definitely read the pre-arrival information thoroughly as it is accurate in regards to what is provided and what isn't. The driveway is a steep, but once we got use to it, we were fine! Definitely recommend if you want a mountain top view!

Wonderful mountain stay
Our stay at the Burnt Ridge retreat was wonderful. The home was impeccably clean. It is nicely appointed and has a beautiful mountain view. It's quiet and well stocked with dishes, and unexpected extras like coffee filters, sugar, coffee, and cream. Our Honda Odyssey minivan was able to handle the roads just fine and that was full with six people (all 13 and above), two small dogs and all of our stuff! We loved it at Burnt Ridge and didn't want to leave!

Beautiful adventure
We loved our stay in Black Mountain. The house was fantastic, the kitchen had all the supplies we needed, there were games for the kids, and the bedrooms kept our whole family comfortable. Heat and cooling controls were easy, lights were labeled, and the WiFi worked really well across the whole house. As other reviews mentioned, the dirt road and driveway can be a bit dicey, but all was fine in the end. One minor piece of advice: I actually don’t recommend using the provided driving directions — they are worded confusingly and we missed our turn off the twisty switchback main road because they told us to “continue straight” instead of exiting the main road and heading up the hill and dirt road. GPS and Google Maps handled it better!

The house is wonderful! Modern and beautifully designed and equipped.
As the other reviews states, it’s a bit off the beaten path and the gravel roads to get to the property are somewhat bone-jarring. I little confusing getting there (took the wrong fork in the road) and super happy I did not check in at night. My suggestion is to plan on checking in during daylight and then no problem. Once you know where you’re going and get used to the gravel roads, 3-4 minutes to Rt 9 (paved) and 10-12 minutes to Black Mountain. A really great place for a relaxing hang out with family and friends. Just get your fro groceries in and then chill out with gorgeous Mountain View’s and wonderful outside spaces.

Amazing Property
First off. I never write reviews but this place was so great I am compelled to review. The location was better than imagined. We wanted a remote location due to COVID times but in general I’m not a person who likes to be off the beaten path. The house was in the mountains but only 10 minutes to Ingles a huge grocery store and cute little downtown Black Mountain! We had great BBQ At Phils BBQ. The house was beautiful (and I have high standards) it was fully decorated as a mountain house. There was plenty of space, everything needed was there. Yonder included a book telling where to go and hike. There’s a grill, fire pit, fire place. I can’t say enough about the views. They are indescribable and better than the photos. Beds were comfortable, great cooking kitchen, plenty of sleeping space. We are a family of 4, 2 boys 8 and 11. We also had my sisters family join for 2 days with a 2 year old and a newborn. The balcony was safe for toddlers. We came for white water rafting and used French Broad adventures as our tour guides and they were great. We are vacation rental owners in Florida and we recognize quality in a vacation rental. We would love to come back again!

Stunning views and a luxurious stay!
The view from the property: absolutely stunning!!! Burnt Ridge Retreat was gorgeous — the home and the surroundings. A peaceful and secluded getaway and the scenery could not have been more beautiful! The home was so comfortable and well appointed, and had everything we needed. The only thing I will say was a bit tough was navigating the driveway as others have said in reviews. It was very steep and definitely cannot be navigated without AWD. Our car was fine but the other car in our group was able to park at the top of the road to avoid the driveway. Other than that, our experience was amazing all around!

Spring break mountain getaway
Beautifully appointed home with all the amenities needed for a mountaintop getaway. —Views from the balconies are spectacular. —Wifi works for emails, but streaming Netflix is hit n miss. —Strongly recommend driving AWD or 4x4 to traverse the last three miles to get to the house. Worth the drive for the tranquility. Very bumpy with steep-ish inclines. The driveway down to the house looks intimidating but it’s not bad. There’s parking at the top with a staircase to the house as well. —No bear sightings though we did hear a lot of rustling in the bushes. —Appreciate that kitchen is fully stocked. Able to cook, serve and store meals easily. —Impeccably clean.
