The second floor has a BR with queen bed, a bunk room with 2 twin bunks (sleeps 4) and a queen bed, plus a loft area with a queen bed. All 2nd floor sleeping areas share a full bath on 2nd floor.

We do require that the booking guest upload a photo ID through the platform messaging center prior to arrival and an email for sending a lease to be electronically signed. A code for entering the property will not be provided until we receive the ID and signed lease.

Please note that AT&T does NOT have service on our ridge. Verizon DOES have coverage. We do have a house phone for use during your stay.

For winter rentals, four-wheel drive is HIGHLY recommended.

We will be watching the weather and will be in touch with you throughout your trip.

Wi-Fi is for email and basic internet only, not for streaming movies. We do have TVs, DVD and blue ray players in each bedroom and the lower level family room, along with a rather large selection of movies to choose from. Please note, this is not by choice; however no other internet is currently available in our area. So plan to unplug as much as possible and enjoy the beauty of the land!

We do require that a photo ID of the guest booking the trip be uploaded to the message board prior to arrival. The code for entry will not provided until the ID is received.

Our family loves to call Mountain Ridge Retreat our second home, and we want our guests to feel the same way.

Tracy was an amazing host. We rented this for the weekend of our daughter’s wedding just down the road from her lovely home. She went above and beyond what is normally required of a host and she met all of our expectations. She was very quick to respond to any of our emails, and she made our stay so pleasant. The property is lovely, the home is very clean, and the kitchen is very well stocked. I would love to come back for another visit. Thank you, Tracy for a lovely wedding weekend !

Best place to stay for many reasons. Very private, beautiful peaceful area, very clean home. There is nothing lacking in what you need. Watched dear every morning in the meadow, one actually had a new baby which was awesome. Enough firewood for a year, and it was covered and dry! Owners are very kind and flexible which was needed. Can't wait to come back.

Great Family Gathering

We had a great weekend at Scenic Solitude. This was a great house for us. We needed the 3 separate sleeping areas with baths in each one. The kitchen was the best stocked kitchen with cooking ingredients and also pans and utensils. The shuffleboard and foosball table added many houses off fun together. The children loved the tire swing. Hiking trails were also a plus.

Stayed for Wedding at Heavenly View

We stayed for a family wedding that was being held at Heavenly View. We had the closest place, the groom’s family had people stay in Bedford and the bride’s in Somerset. They couldn’t believe we only had to drive 3 minutes at the end of the night! It was absolutely perfect! I just wish we had time to enjoy the BEST kitchen of any VRBO we’ve ever stayed at, but we did enjoy the three bathrooms to get ready for the wedding.

This is our second stay at this beautiful, spacious, immaculate, well-equipped home. As a group of women crime fiction writers, we formed plots, revised stories, filled the house with laughter, and made memories. Thank you to the host for sharing your home.

Family Time

My family and I travel to Somerset County every August for a family reunion. Over the years we stayed in Bedford; although we always enjoyed that gem of a town we were looking tor a change; a place closer to our venue, to all be together under the same roof to enjoy additional family time. I came across this amazing property. It’s so inviting, clean, peaceful, cozy and very well appointed. The view from the front porch, adorned with rocking chairs and a swing, is breathtaking. It’s where we spent most of our time! The living area, bedrooms, kitchen/dining, bathrooms are very spacious. We truly loved EVERYTHING about this beautiful place. Tracy, the host is absolutely wonderful. She made us feel so welcomed. We can’t wait to go back next year!

Great Cousin Getaway

This was a great spot for cousins from Ohio and Virginia to meet for a couple of days of fun and catching up. Everything was as expected from the listing. The house and property are beautiful and well-maintained. The house was stocked with everything we needed and more. I had a few questions and the responses were quick, friendly, and thorough. We enjoyed sitting in the rocking chairs on the front porch and watching the deer and stargazing. The kids appreciated all the toys and games and loved running around in the big grassy yard. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

You cannot find a better place!

This home was AMAZING! The setting is beautiful, so peaceful and calm. We enjoyed watching deers, rabbits, turkeys, on a daily basis. We sat with friends on the large porch every day while the younger ones played on the front lawn. It was soul filling. The inside is just as gorgeous, the rooms are beautiful and the space well made. We would love to come back some day!

Great getaway with family to experience tranquility and relaxation

Beautiful home in a peaceful, serene setting. You are by yourself with just your family and nature. Great time to relax and unwind. The house and acreage has so much to offer. We had fun playing shuffleboard and checkers. The kitchen is great for entertaining. We loved sitting out on the front porch enjoying the view after dinner. We went into Bedford which is about a 35 minute drive to enjoy the spa at Omni. We dined at Jean Bonnet and came home to enjoy a campfire at the house. We were sad to leave as the house was so inviting and relaxing.

Annual Birthday Weekend

What a beautiful home!! We could not have felt more comfortable. The home is spacious and immaculate. The kitchen was a great pleasure as I am a cook and was super impressed with the accoutrements!! Plenty of everything and the quality of the plates, glassware, pots and pans, etc. was excellent! The bedrooms were spacious and the beds were so comfortable. Everyone had a good nights sleep!! The gameroom was a huge hit and where we spent a lot of time with our grandsons who are 13 and 10. Lots of games to play and fun was had by all of us!! We celebrate 2 birthdays on this weekend every year and have gone to a different place. We sure did find our new place to go!! Everyone was in agreement that we will be back next year!!
