Beautiful place. Clean, gorgeous home, beautiful scenery, great owner hospitality. The only problem we had is I forwarded the check-in information to all that were coming by email and when they tried to open it after they got to location, they couldn't because there was no cell service. So, even though I knew they were there and trying to get in, I was in another location and they had a lot of trouble getting in the gate. One went to the local restaurant and the locals got them in touch with the owner so they got in. The other one came in the middle of the night, so he had to drive back to a neighboring town to get a cell signal so that he could call me. None of this was their fault, just poor planning on my part. I just didn't realize that you couldn't open the email without a passcode number that changes on a regular basis for security reasons, otherwise, I would have given the others a heads up on how to get in. So, basically, WiFi phone service only and once you are in the area, you are not going to have service until you check in and set it up for WiFi calling. But, I highly highly recommend the cabin, the scenery, the local hospitality and the owner.

This is a beautiful mountain top home. The views are spectacular. The home was very clean and had everything we needed. We enjoyed boating on the lake every day and relaxing on the porch every evening catching amazing sunsets. The carriage house/game room was perfect for our teenage boys. The drive up to the home was a little precarious but my minivan managed just fine. It is worth it for the view. The host was very helpful before, during and after our stay. This was a perfect place to beat the summer heat! We would definitely book again.

Blue on the Ridge was just as advertised! The views were majestic, the house was updated and comfortable, and the time spent was priceless! I would definitely come back.

The pros:
Cabin was well equipped with everything we needed.
Beds were very comfortable.
Views are awesome
The cons:
Property can use some repairs (deadbolts hard to operate, outside deck and railing dated)
Driveway is steeper than description. We had trouble getting up during dry days and spun wheels several times.
Lots of spiders and webs inside. It’s a cabin in the woods but it was more than expected.
Basement stairs are uneven and slopped incorrectly which caused my wife to fall.
Overall we enjoyed our stay and these minor improvements could have made it even better.
