Your private pool under open Kentucky sky — this is the version of the Ark Encounter trip nobody posts about, because they don't want anyone else to find it.Fourteen acres, one family, zero shared walls. You can see why people come back.Slide in at sunset, hills rolling out in every direction. The hot tub runs year-round — this view is just a bonus.Pull up a chair. Marshmallows are optional, stories are not. The fire pit is where your whole group ends up every night.Sixteen people in the same room without anyone bumping into anyone. The open layout makes it actually work.

11 Ridge Glen Ln

Leicester, North Carolina · 20 min to downtown Asheville

The moment your group realizes this weekend is going to be unforgettable.Claim a lounger by the heated pool and let the afternoon stretch out. Open April through October, mountains on every side — nobody' s leaving the water early.Gather around the custom fire pit once the sun drops, drinks in hand under the string lights. This is where the best conversations of the trip happen.Drop into a leather recliner the second you arrive — the theater' s ready for the first feature before anyone' s even unpacked.Take your group off-grid at the golf simulator and putting green — they light up at twilight for a round long after the courses close, the amenity no other 8BR nearby can match.

Guest reflections

The house was amazing and perfectly located with a beautiful view. We could not have asked for a better home to stay in while attending a trade show. Everything was accurately identified, it was clean, and every member of my team was happy!— Shawn
Loved everything about the house. Everything was there and pretty close to anywhere. Was great for our trip as the amenities were great and fun for our whole group. Would recommend and stay at the location again for sure.— Wayne
The front porch can use a railing very slippery when wet, also the shower could use a handrail in it. Besides that the location worked for us we like that area.— Ronald
