The Space

Raven's Roost is a classic mountain cabin perched on a knoll less than 3 miles from main street Saluda, NC. Our family has loved Saluda and the surrounding areas for many years as an "escape" from our busy work lives and a place to enjoy being outside and exploring all of the great places and activities in the WNC region. We had been actively looking at cabins in the region for approximately one year and whenever the cabin we now call Raven's Roost came available, we jumped at the opportunity! One look at the views from the property, and it was a no brainer decision! The pictures definitely don't do the views justice!

Raven's Roost boasts a large open living area complete with a modern, updated kitchen and ample space to have the whole family together. Exposed beams and wooden walls complete the cabin feel and updated furnishings lend a modern flair to the rustic space. The front porch is expansive and provides plenty of room for relaxing, soaking up the views, and even having family meals al fresco at the outdoor dining table!

The main level bedrooms both boast queen size beds and brand new modern mattresses. There are excellent mountain views from each of these rooms. They both share the hall bathroom on the main floor.

The master bedroom and bath are located on the second floor as part of the expansive loft. A king bed with new mattress welcomes you to the space with several reading nooks and another great view of the mountain ranges in the distance. The master bath boasts a double vanity, soaker tub, and walk in shower. Please note that the master sleeping area is open to the rest of the loft area and the main level living room. We have positioned furniture strategically and have a folding screen available to offer as much privacy in this space as possible, but we want everyone to be aware of this set up.

In the adjacent loft area is a daybed with a trundle pull out that makes two twin beds for additional accomodations. Combined in this space is an entertainment center and game table complete with checkers and plenty of board games, etc.

Downstairs in the gameroom/laundry room are a ping pong table and corn hole boards available to set up as you please. We have fire pits set up in the front and rear of the cabin. The front fire ring is approximately 8 steps down the front slope. The steps are lit with landscape lighting, but can be a bit precarious so please take care! The rear fire pit is just off of the back door from the kitchen and has seating for at least 6 people. A gas grill is provided in the back area as well.

Saluda main street is a 5 minute (<3 miles) drive away and features an eclectic mix of restaurants and shops. Flat Rock and Hendersonville are 10-20 minutes away and offer great dining and entertainment options. Asheville, the Biltmore House and the Sierra Nevada brewery are only a 30-40 minute drive away. For the outdoor enthusiasts, there's Green River Adventures on main street Saluda for kayaking/river adventures, the Gorge zipline only minutes away, and loads of hiking and mountain biking trails within a short drive from the cabin.

Guest Access

The paved driveway up to Raven's Roost is steep, but typical of the region and can be intimidating the first several times you navigate it. Guests driving everything from compact cars to minivans have had no issues with getting to and from the cabin. In the winter months, we monitor the driveway for ice and snow and have it cleared for the safety of our guests when needed.

Guests will have access to all of the house with the exception of a locked "owner's closet".

Other Details to note

WiFi is included in your stay via T Mobile Home internet. We usually have no problems with streaming Netflix, etc and speeds tend to be 10-20 Mbps. Cell phone signal is very good at the cabin as well as mobile data speeds.

We recommend bringing your own streaming device and using the provided HDMI access points for both TV's for ease of connecting your own streaming devices, if desired. The TV in the living room is a smart TV with built in apps such as Netflix, Prime Video, etc that you are free to log in to with your own credentials. Please note that if you log in to the TV apps the "logging out" process is a bit challenging.

This cabin offers its guests barbecue grills, an arcade/game room, and a garden. The front desk is open around the clock.

This Saluda cabin is smoke free.
