Description

Moonlight Ridge is a modern mountain home tucked away on a private 1.39-acre lot in the gated community of Powder Horn Mountain. With just one step from parking to entry, this home offers both convenience and a peaceful, secluded setting.

The main level features three bedrooms (Queen, Queen, Twin), a full bathroom, laundry, and a bright living area with floor-to-ceiling windows that highlight the long-range mountain views. The screened-in porch and wraparound deck provide the perfect place to relax and enjoy the scenery.

The cozy gas fireplace (with easy-to-use timer switch on the wall) makes this home just as inviting in cooler months as it is in the summer.

  This hone was beautiful and very clean. My family and I spent our Thanksgiving Dinner in this cabin. There was plenty of room, the kitchen had everything we needed and the decor was beautiful. The views and being at the top of the mountain were wonderful. I would recommend this home if you want to get away, yet close enough to visit Boone and Bliwing Rock!

  I rented this house for a scrabooking getaway for a total of 7 ladies and our supplies. We had plenty of room as the downstairs was spacious and had tons of natural light. The house was fully stocked with all of the necessities that we needed. Cleanliness was exceptional. The views from the deck and covered porch were amazing and relaxing. If I could give this house more than 5 stars I would! I highly recommend this house to anyone - you won't be disappointed!

  We LOVED our long weekend at Moonlight Ridge. The cabin was super clean, the view was lovely, and the inside comfy and cozy. Beds were nice and kitchen well stocked. We ordered firewood and had a nice few evenings at the fire pit. The enclosed porch was my favorite place to sit and read. Wifi worked well- even with multiple devices. We love the amenities of Powder Horn Mountain and the kids loved the rock panning just down the road. Highly recommend Moonlight Ridge AND Moonlight Cabin Rentals.

  Krystyna K from Charlotte, NC recommends this vacation rental

  This place is amazing especially if you want to unplug. The home is literally on the top of the mountain surrounded by trees. It’s very peaceful and a great place to go and unwind. There’s literally a trailhead right down the road from the home too. The home is fabulous it’s equipped with everything you need. My suggestion is stop at a grocery store prior to arrival you will not want to leave the property once you are there. My favorite part was the screened in porch overlooking the majestic views. I highly recommend this home we enjoyed it so much we are going back in 3 weeks.

  Perfect house for our celebration. Great porch for morning coffee. Picnic table for lunches. Nice area for walking our dogs.
  Well equipped kitchen and nice gathering space with large table and lots of windows. Felt like we were in a tree house.
  Hiked many trails and enjoyed the pool afterwards.

  Fantastic home on a private mountain community. We loved hanging out in the screened-in porch and enjoying the beautiful view of the valley. The house has everything you need to cook, store wine, and comfortably hang out with family or friends. The community also has a lot of great walking and hiking trails.
