Completely Remodeled and Central to the best trails in WNC!

The Cognative Ride House is perfectly located as a central home base for your adventures on the best trails WNC has to offer. While this house appeals to visitors of all types, we have especially curated it for our guests who thrive on the endless opportunities for adventure that the WNC mountains are famous for. The workshop offers everything you need to care for your bikes, and the home and game room offer the perfect atmosphere for relaxing before your next WNC experience.

The home has just been completely remodeled with every single detail thoughtfully and intentionally designed with our guests in mind. The space is comfortable and relaxing with a bright interior full of natural light, soothing décor, comfortable furniture, and all of the amenities you need for a cozy stay. The house flows well with bedrooms to one side and living space, office, kitchen and dining on the other side of the house. The kitchen is spacious, very well stocked and ready for homemade meals or a cup of your favorite brew at the well-appointed coffee counter. The living area offers a comfortable place to gather and watch tv, play one of the games provided or read a local interest book from the thoughtfully selected collection. The large windows in the living room offer a beautiful view of the mountain range right across the street. The bedrooms each have high end mattresses and bedding, blackout curtains, ceiling fans and sound machines to provide a good night’s rest for your mountain adventures the next day. We provide two comfortable twin sized rollaway beds with cozy linens for extra sleeping. The office space offers a desk for four people to work remotely with the added convenience of charging stations, Bluetooth speaker and maps of DuPont and Pisgah Forests for planning your next adventure. The bathrooms are bright and clean and stocked with soft towels and wash cloths. The garage has been remodeled and outfitted as a game room for your enjoyment featuring air hockey, foosball, darts and hook and ring. The home has a fenced in backyard and multiple outdoor spaces give you the opportunity to continue to enjoy nature after your days exploring the mountains. There is outdoor dining for 6 on our covered porch; a sitting area, table and gas grill on the back patio with a beautiful fully fenced in backyard and a firepit with firewood provided for an outdoor bonfire in the evenings. Every detail of the house has been intentionally selected with you in mind, and we can’t wait to host you for your time in the WNC mountains.

The Cognative Ride House provides the perfect home base for exploring all the best trails Western NC has to offer. It is situated in a perfectly central location….only 12 miles from DuPont State Forest and Pisgah National Forest, 14 miles from Bent Creek Experimental Forest, 8 miles from Kanuga Bike Park and The Riveter. Downtown Hendersonville is only 5 miles away, Downtown Brevard 14 miles, Downtown Asheville 24 miles and The Biltmore Estate is 18 miles.

The Ride House offers the convenience of super easy access to the forests and downtown Hendersonville as it’s situated on Brevard Road on a hill set off of the road. You can walk to restaurants, spa services and a pastry shop across the street, and there is a hangout with taps, live music and food trucks a mere 0.3 miles away. While this isn’t a remote and secluded mountain getaway and you are located in the heart of Horse Shoe, the convenience of the location keeps our guests coming back again and again. The future Ecusta Trail (under construction) is within sight of the property and the Ride House will be the perfect home base for riding your bike to the trail once development is complete. *There is one outdoor security camera facing the driveway to ensure you feel safe and secure at all times during your stay.

Beautiful Safe Haven Home
This home is beautifully decorated with all the amenities we needed and wanted, including a game room and fenced in backyard for our dog. There was also plenty of space for us to host family and friends. Check in was easy and our hosts were very communicative prior to and throughout our stay. Including making sure we were prepared before a storm came. Little did any of us know that storm, Hurricane Helene, would be so devastating. This home was a safe haven to us because it was one of the only houses in the area with no damage and that kept power and running water the whole time. Our hosts checked in on us everyday in the aftermath to make sure we had everything we needed. We were so grateful to them. We wish we could have stayed for longer. Would absolutely love to stay here again when we return to the area. We could not have asked for better hosts!!!

Perfect Location and accomadations
The Ride house was the perfect place for our family vacation. The house is perfect for anyone but especially if you like outdoor activities! Close to DuPont State Forest and Pisgah National Forest. The house is set up perfect for a comfortable stay and to store all your bikes, hiking gear, fishing gear etc…. Plus it’s in walking distance to restaurants and the Cognitive Brew house. We will definitely be back. The hosts made sure everything was perfect. Thanks!!

Very cute space with everything you need
Cute space, well stocked kitchen supplies, cozy blankets. Our dog loved the backyard & having a dedicated space to store our bikes was great. Only con is that it’s on a fairly busy road but fairly well insulated from traffic noise & there’s added convenience of a coffee shop right next door.

Excellent Vacation Property
This house was perfect for our family and two dogs. The house is nicely remodeled and clean. We spent a lot of time playing games in the rec room.The host has thought of everything you might need on your vacation. We just picked up a few groceries and had everything we needed. We really enjoyed visiting the coffee shop on the corner and the Mexican restaurant across the street, both were great!

Rare perfect find
This home was perfect for our group. It included ample seating, comfortable beds and a large outdoor space. The host went the extra step of supplying plenty of amenities including coffee and tea supplies. It was a perfect location for our hiking. We found great food in Hendersonville. The host was quick with communication. A rare perfect find.

Our family truely enjoyed our time at this home and definitely recommend this for all types of guests (mountain bikers, families with kids and families with a dog). Oh yeah - the beds are very comfy!!!!

Excellent holiday mini vacation
We enjoyed the close proximity to everything. The house was clean and everything was great. The beds slept well. We put the game room to great use as well. The back yard was a great plus for our service dog to play.

Excellent Experience
House was very spacious yet cozy. Beautifully decorated and had plenty of activities to go. The back yard was big yet pretty private and we enjoyed lighting a fire and sitting outside. The corner store across the street was very convenient. Would definitely stay again!

Perfect
The house was beautiful and equipped with everything you could possibly need (including shampoo, conditioner, body wash, tissues, q tips, and so much more). Labeling made items easy to locate. The beds were comfortable. Location was great- approximately 10 minutes to downtown Hendersonville, 20 minutes to Brevard, and 30 minutes to Asheville. Conveniently, there is a pastry shop right across the street and a cute little coffee shop just a few minutes down the road- Hidden Trails Coffeehouse. Our only disappointment was the "firepit." The sticks and logs were on the snow covered ground, so could not be used due to being wet. It would have been nice to have a fire table or actual firepit to enjoy smores. Otherwise, we didn't have any complaints. We really enjoyed our time at the Cognative Ride House and would definitely stay again!

Great Home! Great Location!
Our family had such a great time staying at this home. It was newly renovated and felt very comfortable. We enjoyed the game room and all the extra touches that the home was filled with. The kitchen was extremely accomodating and we enjoyed every minute of our stay. The location was excellent. 10 minutes to downtown Hendersonville and 30 minutes to Asheville. We would highly reccommend this rental home to anyone.
