About this property

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Makenzee at Ridgeview. Asheville rental! Luxurious 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 glamping experiences. Driving into the property you will be surrounded by beautiful long range mountain views. 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 king 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 account 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 patio and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Other standard amenities include a microwave, a refrigerator, and a coffee maker.

So relaxing!

We loved staying here! Loved the fire pit, the babbling brook, the cows and goats! It was so very relaxing, especially after a glass of wine! It is truly magical!

Cute creek side cabin!

The cabin was very cute.and clean. Decorated very nice. It does have another cabin right beside it, but the outdoor areas are facing away from each other so it wasn’t a big deal. The drive into Asheville was about 20 minutes. Cabin is kind of out in the country. If you don’t mind staying out a bit, it’s very cute.

Amazing Place

My wife and I had such an amazing getaway at this property. The photos absolutely don’t do so it justice. The property and views were amazing. The cabin was beautifully decorated, fully stocked with the essentials and the host even provided firewood which we weren’t expecting. The attention the host paid to all of the little details did not go unnoticed and we will absolutely be back!

Perfect for a romantic getaway

My SO and I needed a break from the city life. We wanted somewhere between the city and the mountains for hiking and this bungalow was perfect. 20 mins from downtown Asheville and a 40 minute drive to great trails on Blue Ridge Parkway. It’s situated on an adorable meadow/farm within the mountains - goats and a mini donkey are a few steps from the bungalow and cows were grazing and walking about in the morning (so peaceful). Jacqui left us a kind note, bottle of wine, and snacks upon arrival. Everything was immaculately cleaned. Definitely the best place we’ve stayed at. Thank you so much Jacqui!
