Beautiful vistas
The Ridge is a lovely little spot for a getaway. Far enough away from everything but also close enough to everything. Just lovely for 2.

Beautiful property,wonderful views
We had a wonderful stay. Amazing views, the bath was a hit, and the weather cooled down overnight in the middle of summer. The cabin is able to be kept quite cool in the middle of the day too. We spent a few days there without needing to go out. The birds nearby were wonderful. Very happy it's pet friendly, as our two small dogs had a great time too. The local coucal blessed us with its interesting call and we briefly spotted it once! Besides a local crow giving us a 5am wake up call, overall it was a wonderful stay. We will be back again.

The cabin is well appointed and has a neat layout which made our stay very comfortable. It has a beautiful view of the town from the hilltop and was so quiet. Really enjoyed our stay.

Absolute peace and serenity. Driveway is a bit tricky but adds to the remoteness while still being close to town. Well designed with lots of thoughtful touches.
