Great place! Would recommend this place to anyone with dogs. Mine went in and out of the river all weekend, not worried about other people or them wandering too far. He was kind and helped find local hikes, brought fresh apples and cabbage. Will be back 100%

Beautiful peaceful time- especially enjoyed the cold plunge

3 nights at At the Ridge Camp-Riverside Escapes

I loved camping so close to the Blue Ridge Parkway. The campsite is well situated between the Parkway and Brevard. The site was very quiet and peaceful with the sound of the river right next to our site. We stayed at site 6. Tom, our host, was very kind and knowledgeable about the area. He gave us great local information about great places to see!

1 night at Cold Spring Basecamp

My niece and her kids and I had a great night in the treehouse. It was definitely too short a visit but will stay again, just maybe not in the treehouse next time. It’s beautiful out here and I’d recommend it to anyone!

2 nights at Cold Spring Basecamp

This is glamping at its best! The treehouse was sparkling clean and had everything we needed. So comfortable! Any questions I had were answered almost immediately.

Weekend Trip to Cold Spring Basecamp

Very beautiful campground with natural creeks and easy to follow directions from the host for where certain amenities are, overall amazing experience

1 night at Cold Spring Basecamp

Our family loved everything about Bills Cabin! The primitive adventure of the open air but the comfort of their camp mattresses was the perfect mix. The kids enjoyed heating up by the wood stove and cooking over the open fire. Gathering our drinking water from the creek was also a very cool experience. In the morning before check out we were able to explore some of the trails and my husband and I both attempted the cold plunge. We’ve already talked about coming back and can’t wait to check out the tree house for the views.

4 nights at At the Ridge Camp-Riverside Escapes

Great spot right on the river! We had a great time at At the Ridge Camp- Riverside Escapes. We are a family of 5 & stayed in cabin #2. It is a rustic camping cabin but was clean, spacious enough for all of us to sleep comfortably & had electricity. The showers were HOT & Tom made sure we had everything needed. They are still rebuilding from Helene but are definitely up & ready for campers! We will definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to Magical Mountain Resorts

We camped there our last night of a week long camping trip. All the staff was super nice and we even got a tour of some of the cabins, Mary has put so much work into this magical place! Our group had so much fun and even got to meet the adorable goats, horses, donkey, and pigs! Facilities are all very nice and clean. We loved the swings by the stream and the solar powered fairy lights at night!!

Bedtime is nice with the solar lights inside and out (can be turned off if desired)

Weekend Trip to Cold Spring Basecamp

This cabin is exactly what I was looking for! It was just myself and my two dogs but I couldn't have been happier with the space. An open air cabin that provides enough shelter from a slightly cold night, Bill's cabin had everything I needed including plenty of sleeping space, a large fire pit, a propane-powered stove cast iron skillets, and even a french press. The location was easy to find and it was clear the hosts put plenty of thought into their guest's experience. Solar powered lights helped keep things clear, clean plates and dishes were welcome, and $5 per bundle fire wood kept us warm all night! I would absolutely come back here by myself or with my family or friends!

Very comfortable relaxing weekend. It was on the colder side and having a stove to reheat coffee and warm some my food was very useful. The new mattress was very comfortable. Thank you so much. I’ll be back again.

2 nights at Cold Spring Basecamp

My daughters and I had a wonderful two-night stay at Bill’s Cabin. It was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. The camp host was incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel so welcome. It was cold (and even snowed!), and while the cabin wasn’t exactly warm, the stove helped, and we made it work. We loved cooking over the fire pit, using the well-stocked kitchen, and unwinding under the solar lights. The rustic charm and peaceful surroundings made it a magical getaway. We’ll definitely be back—next time for the treehouse stay! Highly recommend!

Wonderful stay in cabin #2! Host was super helpful with tips on staying warm. It was about 34 degrees and we were very toasty with the 2 space heaters provided. Comfortable beds too!

Weekend Trip to Magical Mountain Resorts

Host and caretakers are very friendly and accommodating. The place is truly magical due to their attention to detail. You can really tell the host put her heart and soul into making a dream become reality!

The LED in the Hot Tub adds a little ambiance - though you'll probably be lost in the view of the stars and the setting sun.

Weekend Trip to Nantahala: Cabins & Campsites

Incredible views from a hot tub. Need I say more? This is the perfect getaway for anyone looking to disconnect from the rest of the world. The charming little cabin is just the right size for a couple or small family. Unbeatable year round views from that hot tub, I mean. You can’t beat it. We can’t wait to come back in the summertime and enjoy it again. Thanks for a wonderful break from our routine. We’ll be back for sure!

1 night at At the Ridge Camp-Riverside Escapes

It was a very pleasant stay. We got there about an hour after sunset and didn't have difficulty finding the property in the dark. Slept well listening to the sound of the river right next to us. I didn't realize that on the other size of the river was a road and we'd also hear cars. We purchased firewood from Carrie, and it was actually $10, not $5 like it mentions on the advertisement. We ended up wanting to get more wood, and that was a bit of a hassle as Carrie isn't actually the one managing the property. There were other people involved in managing the property that we had to communicate with and go find. Ultimately would've been easier to bring our own, but nevertheless we did acquire all the firewood we wanted, albeit all damp. There were some permanent residents on the property in nearby campers, all pleasant. Overall would recommend and may return in the future.

2 nights at Cold Spring Basecamp

Conveniently located. Awesome falling asleep to the running stream. Great having bike and hiking trails on location.

The Waldhaus Resort

4 sites · Lodging60 acres · Barnardsville, NC

Waldhaus Resort is a special place surrounded by the Pisgah National Forrest. Pure nature close to a thriving metropolitan area. We offer the Sawmill and the Summit!I have been an engineer, corporate executive and world traveler all my life. Born and raised in Switzerland I speak German, French, English and a little Spanish. My passion is the outdoors, hunting, fishing and cooking . My other calling is to entertain people which share the same passions. That’s why I created the Waldhaus resort.During the past years, the Sawmill has become my favorite place to spend quality time in what I call "Cabin Living" which I love so much. Nearly every day there is a small challenge, nothing comes easy, but all the coziness and comfort is there. The water is supplied by a spring above the mill. Electricity is generated by solar technology and a generator. All refrigeration and cooking appliances are propane; and so is the basic heat (propane again) - and a very old Jotul wood stove will do the rest. I sleep a lot on the day bed in the living room so the Sawmill can be comfortably rented for up to 4 guests. The outhouse is a thing of the past, just recently I installed a compositing toilet besides the bedroom.We also offer The Summit which is a high elevation, 2-story cabin surrounded by national forest which has evolved into an off-grid living and play space located at nearly 3300 feet elevation on a 1/2 acre flat with an incredible view. There are very private old forest service trails leading directly into the Pisgah National Forest.
