Our gated community is entirely paved so you will not need an all-wheel or four-wheel drive car. The oversized driveway is not steep and can easily accommodate up to 8 cars.

Diamond Ridge is truly a unique mountain retreat that you never need to leave. Because of its one-of-a-kind location, there are literally 360-degree views from the oversized windows and expansive decks. There are spectacular views of Mt. Mitchell, Grandfather Mountain, Chimney Rock, Linville Gorge, Lake Lure and Hickory Nut Gorge to name a few. Being so close to the Pisgah National Forest, you have access to numerous hiking trails inside and outside of Catawba Falls Preserve. There are countless hiking trails, streams, rivers and waterfalls nearby. The most common animals that you may encounter while out and about are deer, wild turkeys, rabbits and birds that span the colors of the rainbow. At Diamond Ridge, you will feel a million miles away, but you are minutes from the cultural conveniences of Asheville & Black Mountain.

All linens, blankets and towels are provided and we have an extra large Washer & Dryer for your use. We also have hair dryers for your use while visiting. The custom made (from reclaimed bowling alley lanes) dinning table really seats 16, there are 3 stools for seating at the kitchen bar and extra chairs and tables if needed for family gatherings.

Friends ask why we are renting such an amazing log cabin. After living in New York and South Florida for over 30 years, our family decided to move to the enchanting town of Asheville, NC to raise our children. We still love living in Asheville, but we wanted a mountain escape that our family could enjoy from time to time. After years of searching we found the perfect Mountain Top site to build our dream vacation and eventual retirement home that is in a gated community with paved roads and some of the most breathtaking views in North Carolina. The best part was that is less than 30 minutes to Asheville. So in 2018 we built the most amazing log cabin vacation home in the perfect spot with 360 degree views as far as the eye can see. Since we live so close and enjoy it all the time, we decided to share this incredible log cabin so other families can enjoy it as much as we do.

Perfect home for young and old!
We were mesmerized by the views and the home! It was spotless and accommodating. The host checked in several times and made us feel welcome. We would love to stay here again. Also, because we have a disabled family member, I searched for a home with features and layout that would make him comfortable. After the three low stairs it was a smooth entry. Thank you for considering all those who have circumstances life hands us. We appreciated the welcome basket with the all the treats and the special items. We will think of our vacation every time we use them. 🙂

Spring Break in Catawba Falls
Catawba Falls Reserve is probably our favorite place to stay when we visit North Carolina to hike. We have stayed in this area multiple times. The Black Diamond Lodge is definitely the BEST! We loved the location as it has a trailhead to Upper Catawba Falls right behind the lodge. It is secluded enough to enjoy nature without being inconvenient to taking trips into town for needs. The layout of the lodge easily held our family and we actually could have had more people with us. The parking can hold several cars ( we have 3). Jason, our host, was easy to communicate with and made sure we had everything we needed for our week. I highly recommend this lodge.

What makes this property unique

#1 BEST SHORT AND LONG VIEWS IN BLACK MT., wrap-around. 360 degrees of porch to sit on. Privacy yet close to the action. Waterfalls in the community, Hiking, biking and strolling. We can stay the whole week and never leave the Mountain or drive into town anytime. It is really the best of all worlds. Walk to waterfalls right from the cabin and play in the creek! Not to mention all the breweries in the area :). Sitting on the porch by the fire-table at sunset and watching the sun set with a glass of wine.
