Deer Ridge Vacation Rentals
Welcome to Deer Ridge, a company located in the mountains of Western North Carolina. We offer Vacation Home Rentals in beautiful Brevard, Pisgah Forest and surrounding areas of Transylvania County. At Deer Ridge s we offer affordable rates, exceptional value, and personal attention to detail for all your needs.

I contacted Deer Ridge Property Management in hopes that there might be a home left in the Brevard area for Thanksgiving. I am really glad I did. The property in question was brand new construction. Kristy Kolisch Harris went above and beyond to get the house ready for our arrival. The customer service and professionalism exhibited by the people at Deer Ridge Property Management was second to no other that we have rented from before.
Services
Deer Ridge was formed to serve the needs of a rapidly expanding and diverse vacation market in the Mountains of Western North Carolina. Jim Kolisch, President and co-owner, has over 20 years of property management experience. He and his wife Karen and two daughters, Kim and Kristy, were attracted to the outdoors of WNC as the entire family enjoys mountain biking, road biking, canoeing, kayaking, and hiking.
Imagine being able to take a longer vacation, cook meals on your own time, relax in a full size living room and be surrounded by the comforts of home. This is all that a vacation rental home has to offer that a hotel does not. In general a vacation rental home costs less money and will provide you with multiple rooms and a full size kitchen for cooking anything from a small breakfast to a full Thanksgiving dinner.
IMPORTANT: We do not have set office hours, we operate by appointment and cannot accommodate drop ins. If you are in need of assistance, please give us a call or send us an email and we will be right back in touch with you. Brevard, NC and Transylvania County offer a host of events to meet the needs of anyone looking to have a good time, learn something new, or just kick back and listen to some live music!
When planning a trip to Western North Carolina, most people expect to find fantastic hiking, mountain biking and fishing. What they don't know is that hidden in Transylvania County, about 40 minutes south of Asheville, is one of the greatest natural wonders in the Southeast, an unimaginable abundance of waterfalls.
Brevard, NC is a small town with a large impact. The residents are friendly and eager to show off their coolest small town, With the many retail stores, fabulous restaurants and host of events, Brevard is a true destination. Lying in the outskirts of Transylvania are several communities including Pisgah Forest, Lake Toxaway, Cedar Mountain and much more.

Really let me down. Required all kinds of expensive upgrades and high priced, inhouse cleaning services, but hardly got it rented at all. Their excuse was that my house was in town. They should have told me that before they had me get those costly upgrades. One of the requirements was to get a card operated key lock for front door. Never got me the password to change it. Now i will be left with expense of taking care of that. I actually lost money by using them.

Have stayed with Deer Ridge twice at 2 of their properties in the Sutton Knob community. My wife and I loved each time and will continue to rent through them when visiting the area!

We recently stayed at Summer Hill & attended a wedding at Pretty Place. The house was beautiful and spacious. The views were amazing and we loved the outside sitting areas. Deer Ridge was so easy to book with & excellent costumer service. Thank you!!

Spent Thanksgiving in Summer Hill and had plenty of room for everyone. Wonderful home stocked with everything we needed. Just minutes away from beautiful waterfalls in DuPont Forest.

We spent several days at Chinquapin and loved it! The personal touches by Deer Ridge, such as leaving a treat for our dog (with his name on it) and soft music playing when when we entered put our experience… over the top. The home is beautiful and the beds were amazingly comfortable. The large screen porch with fireplace (with wood) and fabulous mountain view was our favorite place to be. The drive up the mountain mountain was steep, but once you arrive you never want to leave. We will definitely be back!

We listed our house with them for vacation rental. Wound up costing us more than we got paid, with their fees, requirements, etc.

We just spent a week in Woody's View and really enjoyed the home. It's modern, spacious, clean, well furnished and pet friendly. Only ten minutes from Brevard on a quiet mountain road by easy to access. Especially enjoyed the mountain view and use of the Connestee Falls recreational facilities like the pool, lake and hiking trails. Was also very impressed and appreciated how professional Deer Ridge was from booking to checkout. It really was everything we hoped it would be.

We had a great experience staying in Brevard. The property management company was great with any questions we had and was willing to accommodate our special dates of stay request.

When renting from this company you must either pay for a non-refundable protection plan for $40 or give them a $1000 security deposit which is refundable in 45 days!

One way or another they get you. No one want to tie up $1000 for a month and half so one is stuck paying $40 which gets you relatively nothing except a loss of $40. They also urge you to purchase a Vacation Rental Insurance for an additional fee. What you thought you were paying for a rental property adds up to a whole lot more.

We truly enjoyed our visit to Brevard. "Water's Edge" was spacious and comfortable and it's location on the lake was great. My kids enjoyed paddling around in the canoe.
We have used Deer Ridge for 4 years now and have always been very happy with the properties and their services. Highly recommended!
