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.

Our stay was peaceful at this house. We were 10 friends and we spent most time away from home, but house was very comfortable, spacious and very clean. Night sky view of stars was amazing from the deck. Enough bathrooms, comfortable beds and bedding were provided. Yonder team was just a phone call away. Friendly support staff. One needs a 4 wheel drive to be at this property though, rough terrain and unpaved roads to reach at the house. yet House itself was very comfortable. Host has already mentioned about 4 wheel drive need so it was easy for us to manage. Grocery store Ingles is just 10 minutes away. Nice location. Much better houses in Black Mountain area then Asheville vicinity.

Do not hesitate to book this property! The home is warm and welcoming, and it is stocked with everything a guest needs to accommodate a big family, cook meals, etc. There is even a gas fireplace for those chilly days, making the home even more cozy. The views from this property are absolutely gorgeous! The property management was friendly and responded promptly to questions. Recommendation: If you are nervous driving on mountain roads, plan to arrive at the property during daylight, and remember to take the driveway to the right when you arrive. If you take the drive to the right, you will end up right in front of the front door of the property. :) Thanks for a wonderful stay!

The facilities were amazing. BUT The Roads and driveway were steep and needed to be mentioned in the listing. Construction was halted, but wet dirt roads are hazardous to ALL cars. Several places it should be listed(NO CARS) but only saw it in the house book instructions. And very sneaky... VRBO wouldn't even give the exact address til 24hours before check in. Not cool. Kinda felt like they didn't want us to get directions til the last minute. Trying to get 2 seniors up the driveway was horrible. There were a flight of stairs to the car parking lot. Than led down to the front door of the house. More than 15 steep steps. Packing the car was exhausting. Walking up 4 bags up the 15 stairs to the car parking area should be mentioned several places.

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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.
