The Carson at Ridgeview. Asheville rental! Luxury Glamping!
You'll love this unique and romantic escape, nestled in the Asheville mountains of Western NC and only 15 minutes from Asheville City limits. This is truly a one of a kind rare gem. Safari tent meets bungalow and produces one of the most relaxed, romantic, luxurious clamping experiences. Driving into the property, you will be surrounded by beautiful long- range mountain views, and as you arrive at your destination, you may be greeted by our friendly Nigerian goats. Once unpacked, you will enjoy sitting on the front covered porch in comfortable rocking chairs and soaking up the scenery or maybe lighting a cozy fire in the fire pit. Don't forget to fire up your personal park grill for those steaks and burgers. Once night time arrives, you will retire inside for a nice soothing shower in your private bathroom equipped with linens, toilet, vanity, and tiled shower. Time to cozy up in the kingsize bed with top of the line mattress and bedding for a good night sleep...not tired yet? Turn on the smart TV to watch Netflix or Amazon with your login (sorry, no cable). Waking up in this bungalow is one of the best parts of your stay. Head to the kitchenette and make yourself a nice cup of coffee with the Keurig. The kitchenette is complete with mini fridge, microwave, plates, cups, and utensils. Take in the sites of Asheville and the mountains or just spend the day relaxing on the porch overlooking the creek.
Both of the bungalows are on an adjacent property to our wedding venue. The bungalows are private and away from the event center. You cannot see the wedding venue from the bungalows. You may hear faint music if you are sitting outside on the bungalow porches. All events at the event center end by 10 pm.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchenette and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker, an ironing board, and a desk.

Best experience. Peaceful getaway. Love the beauty of the North Carolina Mountains and nature of being on a farm. The cows and goats were fun to watch.

Perfect Getaway Spot
Wanting a place to just unplug and relax, this was a perfect choice. The sound of a babbling stream, birds, some cows, goats, and a donkey off in the distance was the perfect backdrop to this out of the way spot. The decor was cozy. An amazingly clean environment. WiFi if you wanted it. All in all we loved it. When making plans to come back to the area, we will stay here again for sure.

Great bungalow off the beaten path!
The bungalow was very clean, quiet, and peaceful, which was just what my significant other and I were looking for. Jacqui was very nice and helpful throughout the booking process and our five night stay.
Be sure to try Salty Goat Grill located just a couple of miles away from the property and Homegrown in Asheville. Both are fabulous!

Beautiful, Peaceful Retreat
We so enjoyed our stay! We drove a long way and arrived late, too tired to go back out for dinner, so we were delighted to find drinks and snacks upon arrival. The cabin is spotless and so beautiful. The bed is super comfortable, and how do you not live a babbling creek where an occasion family of cows strolls by for a drink? And friendly goats!! Highly recommended!

A charming farmhouse property in an idyllic setting
We just spent a long weekend at this charming little farmhouse. There’s a Creek that runs by the back of it and a fire pit just outside. The property is clean and new.

Peaceful stay in Asheville
My wife and I enjoyed busy 4 days in Asheville, experiencing everything the city has to offer. We were lucky to have the cozy bungalow to come back to each evening to recuperate for the next day's activities!
