☆☆ REVIEWS - Here are a few kind words from our past guests ☆☆
"We had the most wonderful stay at Ridge & Ember! I was a bit nervous to book since it is a new listing but so glad we did! The home is absolutely beautiful and the views from the balcony are stunning. The house was very clean and everything felt really well thought out. They had accounted for all the things! The basement was a huge hit with our two little boys. The sauna was an amazing touch. Both the sauna and the hot tub had an amazing view of the mountains. The nearest grocery store Ingles is about 20 mins away. I recommend stocking up on the way in so you can settle in and enjoy the mountains. The host was also super responsive and communicative, which was a big plus for us." ~Bidisha
"We stayed two nights and absolutely loved it. It was the perfect getaway for my husband and me. We loved the sauna and its mountain view; I’ve never had a workout with a better view! Everything about the chalet felt peaceful, making it easy to unwind completely. Aish was a wonderful host, quick to communicate and so helpful throughout our stay. We can’t wait to come back!" ~April
