Deer Ridge staff were prompt at answering questions and provided very useful information in regards to Water’s Edge, Connestee Falls and Brevard.” – Michael, July 2022



“Fabulous, as usual. We’ve been renting this lake house for a number of years. And it’s always a delight. Clean, upscale (we notice they change rugs, pillows, throw blankets, etc periodically so everything always seems fresh and new). Keli is always a delight to work with each year to get the property scheduled. And everything we could need or want is always at hand. And property is always spotlessly clean.” – Anne, May 2022



“This home is perfect for the two of us and our small dog. We have stayed here 2x and will be booking again. The owners have provided a beautiful home and the management company is superb in handling all needs. This property is a real gem in Connestee Falls.” – Robert, November 2021



“Been coming to this house for nearly 20 years and the house is very predictable. Deer Ridge Property Management takes extremely good care of the place. We enjoy all the perks of the Connestee Falls amenities, trails, tennis courts, pickleball courts, and the golf course. Best vacations ever.
Property is always very clean and well maintained. Well equipped too. Separation of living quarters is nice. Nicely equipped kitchen for meal preparation if you choose to eat-in. Short drive to nearby restaurants of eat-out or take-out; Cedar Mountain Cafe or Creekside Market. Fave downtown restaurants: Square Root, Quixote
Easy drive to Dupont Forest and Falls, Don’t miss Connestee Falls, just west of the main gate. Trust Deer Ridge for your next stay in WNC. You will be glad you did.”
– Emily & Roger, October 2021



“Everything was meticulously managed: very easy check-in, great instructions/information, lights very well labeled, garage door opener provided, very clean and organized! The house itself was great very relaxing; backs up to a nice and quiet lake. Deer Ridge Property Management does a great job of taking care of the place (credit where credit is due)!” – Richard, October 2021

The pictures on the website don’t do it justice, as it’s even nicer in person. It was updated, well-stocked with necessities, and probably the most comfortable mattress in the master bedroom that my wife and I have ever experienced. A 5++Star rating for sure!!” – Gary, August 2020



“Every thing was great” – Kathy, June 2020



“The house was in excellent condition. Keli and Kristy were a pleasure to work with. Connestee Falls is a wonderful complex with many amenities. The porches and view of the lake was beautiful, serene and relaxing.

“Overall a good place to stay. Private and quiet, good location and layout. Deer Ridge staff professional, friendly, & knowledgeable.” – August, 2019



“We love the property. This is our second year staying there and the community and lakefront are very nice. We met some other Connestee neighbors in 2018, and this year were able to meet up for some hiking. Already looking forward to 2020!

This is our second year staying at Water’s Edge. The waterfront property with fishing using the best fly fishing kit, and canoeing is relaxing after a long day of hiking and/or seeing other attractions. Connestee Falls gated community also has some of the prettiest hiking and waterfalls around, and something you can only see as a visitor to the gated community. We’ll definitely be making the trip again and staying only at Water’s Edge!

Thank you Deer Ridge for making our 2019 vacation one to remember!” – Mark & Renee, August 2019

“The house was lovely and well stocked with kitchen utensils and linens. Having access to the lake, via the canoe (with oars and life vests at no extra cost), was great. We enjoyed the lake a lot. The living spaces were very comfortable and inviting. Thanks for sharing the house with us!” – Carol, November 2018



“Property is always in great shape and Deer Ridge makes the process seamless” – Dawn, November 2018



“Keli was excellent in helping us to get to know the area. She assisted us with restaurants, forest areas, etc.” – June, August 2018

“This is such a charming and warm home. It actually feels just like home. It’s always a delight to spend a few days at Water’s Edge. Everything you need, and then some. And, they have done some nice upgrades. It’s great that they keep improving the house, and keeping it up to top standards.” – Anne, May 2018



“The house was great–beautiful location, perfect size and layout for our family, wonderful that you allow dogs to stay there. The house was exceptionally clean with a very well stocked kitchen.

“Wonderful stay in a beautiful house. Wow, what a view! Very easy to check in and out of property. Very convenient to area attractions. We enjoyed the area waterfalls, downtown Brevard and The Biltmore! So much more to see and do! We will be back again!” – Melinda, December 2017

 

“The house was spacious and well equipped. It was a perfect setting for a family dinner for Thanksgiving.” – Bill, November 2017

 

“We love the lake, the size/layout of the house and it being dog friendly yet clean.” – September 2017

 

“Waters Edge is an amazing home with great views and very comfortable living spaces. The beds were super comfortable and everything was immaculate. Would highly recommend this property. Deer Ridge was very easy to work with–very responsive to all my questions.” – Debbie, August 2017

 

“Of course the house and lake and area are great.
But the great work done by Deer Ridge makes the trip so much better, especially if you have ever stayed with many rental companies. One thing I will point out is that most cabin-type rentals require you to take your trash away in your personal vehicle, something I would never do at home. The folks at deer ridge picked ours up before we got a chance to take it off. Thank you, we enjoyed our stay.
 
Choose Deer Ridge, You will be glad you did!
– Richard, August 2017

All and all, renting this home just made our ‘girls’ weekend’ all that much better!!” – May 2017

“The house was beautiful and the staff at the property were great. Deer Ridge provided an outstanding vacation for my family.

We would stay there again! Deer Ridge made the reservation process easy and seamless. Thanks for this lovely property.” – Jeanne, December 2014
