Make Ridge Haven Your Family Vacation Destination

Ridge Haven is not just a camp and conference center.  We have a variety of accommodations to fit any family vacation budget.  Our one and two bedroom apartments with full kitchen facilities are available for one night to several months.  Our lodges, with large great room, fireplace, kitchen, screened porch, six bedrooms upstairs and bunkrooms for 40 downstairs make for a great reunion under one roof for up to 52 people.  The two downstairs bunkrooms with baths provide privacy on both sides.  A large outdoor pool is within 50 yards.  Our motel-type rooms come in variety of sizes with double beds, king size beds, twin beds, or double plus bunk beds, many with convenient access to lounge areas with refrigerators, stoves and fireplaces.  We also have RV campsites with full utility hookups and tent camping sites with bathhouse and picnic shelter.

Our dining hall is open to groups of 25 or larger that require meals, but also for individuals and families whose stay coincides with large groups eating in the cafeteria.  (Advance notice required.)  When the cafeteria is not already in use, groups of 15-25 may pay a surcharge for meals.

Recreation facilities include a covered, lighted basketball/volley ball court, new playgrounds for toddlers and small children, two large swimming pools, tennis courts, football/soccer playing field, climbing wall and high ropes course (trained instructors required—we can arrange), low ropes team building course, a large mud pit (the favorite of the summer camp kids) a small fishing pond, and miles and miles of fabulous hiking trails…and our very own waterfalls.  Whitewater rafting and snow skiing are located within an hour-and-half of Ridge Haven. Canoeing, kayaking, golf and trout fishing are only minutes away.  (We can provide information on all these activities.)

Ridge Haven is within an hour’s drive of Asheville (Biltmore House and many more tourist attractions), historic Hendersonville, Flat Rock, Cashiers, Highlands and thirty minutes from The Blue Ridge Parkway with some “top of the world” hiking trails.  The Gorges State Park, with over 10,000 acres of wilderness including plunging waterfalls, rugged river gorges, and sheer rock walls is our next-door neighbor. Our county, Transylvania, is known as the “Land of the Waterfalls” with over 250 waterfalls.  Thus far over 180 wildflowers have been found, photographed and catalogued on Ridge Haven’s 900 acres—something is blooming all the time from early April to the first hard frost, usually in October.  The amazing variety of botanical life in the Blue Ridge Mountains, including trees, is unmatched in North America.     

Our Christian world-view is unique, our prices are most affordable, and our desire to serve you and your family will become very evident when you call 828.862.3916 during business hours (8:30am - 5:30pm Eastern time) for more information!
