Reviews
Sandy
Hidden Ridge was a great choice for our family get together! There were 11 of us and each of us hated to leave. It was easily accessed and the view was spectacular, especially sunrise! The kitchen was large and well appointed with plenty of dishes and appliances. The game room on the lower level and the large hot tub was well used by kids and adults alike! For us, cell service was spotty but the wi-fi was very good and we were able to stream and switch our phones to wi-fi calling. An entrance to the Blue Ridge Parkway is very close and a very nice Food Lion is just a couple miles away. Easy drives to Boone, Blowing Rock and West Jefferson. Hidden Ridge is a hidden gem!

Things you need to know
Firewood may be added by reaching out to us more than a week in advance. You get two wrapped bundles and a fire starter for $25/night.
There are two exterior security cameras mounted on the right and left side of the front porch facing towards the driveway area. No camera views the interior of the home or common gathering areas.
The property is set up for light housekeeping, including linens and towels. We provide a STARTER SET of toilet tissue, paper towels, bath toiletries, dish soap, and trash bags. This is enough for one or two nights, but if you are staying for an extended length of time, you should plan to bring some supplies from home or plan to purchase these items at a grocery store when you arrive.
We provide one towel and washcloth per person that each respective house accommodates, plus a few extra towels if there is a hot tub. The beds are made up with clean linens (except bunks, sleepers, and futons, but linens are provided on site). If you routinely use two towels after bathing, you may need to bring some of your own.
This home comes equipped with a basic set of cookware, sufficient plates & silverware for the occupancy of the home, and basic serving and baking dishes. Most homes do not have unusual items such as crockpots or blenders, so if you’re planning a dish that requires an unusual item, it is best to bring that from your home.
This home is not stocked with cooking oils or spices, hairdryers, condiments, coffee, coffee filters, or food storage items, including plastic wrap or foil.
