Summary: We LOVE this property. This trip was our third week stay at MRE. We vacation in different parts of the country with our family and this select group of friends. We choose gIt’s a serious favorite for us in Western NC. The gorgeous land, its amenities and the joy it brings our group is a 10/10. It’s a spectacular slice of heaven and we remain We LOVE this property. It’s a serious favorite for us in Western NC. Very grateful the owners share it with the worthy. In LOVE with the Restoration Hardware leather furniture- insanely comfy. The home itself was unfortunately much dirtier this year than in years past. This is our third trip to this specific property. Multiple bathroom rugs that were never washed, hundreds of long dark hairs on bathroom floors, stained bedding, old, worn pillows, dirty socks (that weren’t ours) found in the bunk room bedding. Stains and coffee grounds in the coffee cups, old food left on utensils, lots of crumbs in utensil/serving piece drawers, greasy cookie sheets

Summary: We had a wonderful stay!! The house was fabulous and met all of our needs for our stay. We had 15 guests and had plenty of room for everyone! And the location is great. Will definitely rent again when we’re in the area! The kids loved the treehouse and playing by the creek!

Summary: We came for my fiancé’s birthday with several couples and their teenage kids. It was so comfortable and the property had a cool hiking trail, disc golf, and easy access to Elk and the ski resorts. We loved the hot tub and would come back in the warm whether to enjoy the outdoor areas even more.

Summary: Wow! Matney Ridge is an uniquely and beautifully constructed home on a gorgeous, secluded piece of property. It is very well appointed with comfortable and inviting furnishings and the kitchen is very well supplied with ample silverware, plates, and cooking supplies for a large crowd (the multiple large skillets were greatly appreciated!). We enjoyed the very large deck with lots of seating, pool table, hot tub, and exploring the grounds. There is plenty of room for everyone to spread out and our kids have already asked if we’re going back next year!
