Such a cool place to stay. 15 minutes off the Blue Ridge Parkway with beautiful Mountain views from the front porch of my cabin. Each cabin has two rooms but if you’re just renting one, they won’t put strangers next door...so you have the place to yourself. Staff was so nice. I didn’t eat meals there but found it very charming that they serve family style and even ring a bell when it’s time to eat. The whole stay was like taking a step back in time in the best way. I’ll definitely be back.

Pisgah Ranch

The ranch itself was located in an amazing setting. The cabins were very quaint. The issue was not having an evening/late staff to service you if were late arriving. Had NO idea where to go, what cabin we were given...nothing.

Cozy, lots of kid activities

Lots of fun. The kids loved riding horses although a little overpriced I think. Food was good, but again high. Room rate was ok but the cabin was very old, stale smell, mattresses were old and no heat! Good walking trails, pond fishing and games for kids.

A Haven During a Stressful Time

Went over the eclipse weekend and after fighting crowds and traffic, it was like driving into a paradise- quiet, peaceful, welcoming staff, EXCELLENT food. It's not luxurious, but if you appreciate beautiful mountain views and a slower pace this is for you. There's every activity you can imagine; what we appreciated the most was the bonfire that evening and a story-teller, but more than enough to keep kids busy and tired.

Not really a hotel

This is a retreat center with lots of activities. Staff was very helpful and friendly. The rooms are cabins with limited amenities. The TV and internet are in the main house not in cabins. Next time we will stay longer and enjoy all they have to offer. The breakfast,that was extra, was great.

Nice Place!

The accommodations are adequate, nothing more. That is part of the charm of this peaceful place. The horse riding was wonderful. We caught fish at the pond with the house equipment, we played ping pong, and foosball, In the evening we had a professional story teller with a campfire. One night, SMORES. If the weather had cooperated, we would have had star gazing one night. The home cooked food was fabulous. Friendly folks that have been doing this a long, long time. If you are looking for the Hyatt, this is NOT the place. If you want to relax and unwind in a family friendly environment, this is YOUR place.

Just a bit disappointed.

For view and escape it was excellent. The breakfast was also excellent but pricy. The room was too basic for my taste. A few amenities would have helped (like hair dryer and shampoo.) I would have appreciated a coffee pot and small fridge in room. The hours that the main house served food did not fit with our schedule or our budget. Also, while we were there the gift shop was not open nor was the pool or museum. We never saw horses as the stable was posted "staff only" even though we were encouraged to buy treats to hand feed the horses. The staff was very friendly and we met fun interesting people there.

be careful!!!

Horrible money situation. We see 3 pending charges all for the same night!!! the people are nice, but be careful and watch your account. the game room is laughable, with broke pool sticks. the views are​ breath-taking. cabins are clean, but clearly dated. the meal was ok, but nit worth the price..stay away from cornbread (sandpaper). hotels.com did not ask us if we wanted to be charged by the ranch, they just allowed it...and now won't help us free our account of pending overages.

It's like going to camp with your family.

Didn't realize when I booked the cabin, but there is no tv, radio, or wifi in the cabins (you have to go to the main house for those things). My 18 and 24 year old daughters noticed immediately. I was worried about this at first, but it turned out to be a great thing. The first night we stayed up to midnight talking and laughing. As the days progressed we were so tired from hiking, sight seeing, and horseback riding that we were asleep earlier each night. The cabin was quite rustic, but clean and comfortable. All of the staff from the moment we checked in, to the cleaning staff, the servers in the dining room, and the horseback riding guide were very friendly and helpful. Only three miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway. We loved driving around the area. Being October, everyday was more beautiful than the one before. The towns of Candler and Asheville were not too far to drive for shopping or meals when away from the Ranch. Meals were delicious. You had to give notice of what meals you were going to be there for, but they were very flexible if you wanted to change things. We typically shared a table with another family or two. Every evening at 7 pm there is some sort of entertainment. Things like stargazing and looking at planets through a telescope, dog tricks, square dancing, grown-up story telling, etc. Pisgah View Ranch has dog friendly cabins available. I have already recommended Pisgah View Ranch to friends and will definitely be staying there again!

Great ranch for peace and quiet. Something to do every night. LOVED the star gazing!! We came late in the season and would love to see how the ranch operates in full swing. Staff was very friendly and very willing to help with any questions about the area . Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner is a homecooked familystyle meal that was very good. Cabins are old but cozy. Bathroom was a decent size and the shower was quite powerful. I highly recommend this resort.

Great getaway

Great place to get away from it all. Close to Asheville and Black Mountain for all there is to do around these places. It's a step back in time and quite refreshing. Nothing fancy, but well kept. Had breakfast and didn't need to eat much the remainder of the day!!! It was fantastic!! Bruce, a local treasure, serenaded us and regaled us with great stories for about 2 hours on the screen porch of the main house. Was a great experience overall.

Mountain view and relaxing time with nature

It was fantastic. We had a great time. We did some hiking and horseback riding. They also had story telling night, camp fire etc... Many families with kids were there for summer vacation. It was definitely fun. They also have homemaid meals with family serving style. We had fun to chat other visitors. Staffs were very friendly and had interesting life stories with them. Room was very clean and comfortable, the mountain view was very nice.

Beautiful country ranch near Asheville

My husband and I came here and stayed for two nights after our wedding and stayed in the honeymoon cabin. We wanted something more country and it was perfect. We stepped out of the truck and it the city stress just melted away. If you're looking for something fancy then this may be not the place for you. But if you're looking for a romantic country getaway then this is perfect. We weren't able to participate in the activities the ranch had going on (horseback riding, the gameroom, the meals, etc.), but we did walk around the grounds (they're beautiful). Later, when we went to the ranch house to use the wifi, the owner not only let us come in to use it, but also got us some hot chocolate, some delicious left-over chicken from lunch, and a slice of heavenly key lime pie. This being the first time meeting her, she was so nice and accommodating! The next morning we went to breakfast with another guest (not as awkward as you might think), and my husband STILL talks about how delicious it was. There was so much home cooked food! And it was all excellent food, we ate a little of everything. My husband still dreams about those pancakes. And I had peace of mind knowing that the food was not processed but whipped up in their kitchens. My husband and I want to come back again and stay longer to do more. It was beautiful, romantic and relaxing. I highly recommend the Pisgah View Ranch.

The cabins were what you'd expect, very clean cabins. No TV no Internet in the rooms but available in the main house. Beautiful scenery, excellent, friendly staff, wonderful food. Something to do every evening but we had a baby. There is a nice pool, horse back riding, fishing, etc. Wished we had brought board games - next time. Wished we could stay longer.

Staying at Pisgah View Ranch was a delightful surprise. The meals in the dining room were delicious, we were entertained by a professional storyteller and a musician, went on a nature hike with a guide, and thoroughly enjoyed our short time there.

should've just gone camping

For a target market. It's a farm/ranch which is perfect for getting away from anything requiring cell or internet service, decent amount of activities on site and easy access to surrounding hiking/biking/rafting. Staff aren't exactly easy to locate when you're there. Pre-arrival communication was so/so. If they charged half the rate they do, maybe I could see it being reasonable. But I've stayed in downtown Asheville at a really nice hotel for similar prices (excepting the last of sept/early oct blue ridge parkway annual bonanza) and also had close proximity to the same hiking/rafting/etc and easier access to fantastic restaurants. All things considered, I'd have rather just gone camping.
