Camp Joy Retreats | Blue Ridge Mountains, NC

Set atop a private hill in the Blue Ridge Mountains, this October retreat takes place at the height of fall, when the landscape is rich with color, crisp air, and a sense of calm that invites you to slow down.

Designed by renowned Southern architect Bobby McAlpine, the home blends timeless elegance with a deep connection to its surroundings. Light pours through expansive windows, highlighting natural materials, warm textures, and beautifully considered spaces that feel both refined and welcoming.

Outdoor living is central to the experience. A pool and cabana overlook sweeping mountain views, while fire pits and open-air dining spaces create easy moments for gathering, conversation, and quiet reflection. A hot tub sits perfectly positioned for long soaks under the open sky.

Set on nearly 13 acres within a private, gated enclave, the property offers complete seclusion with thoughtful touches, including access to a cold, spring-fed green swimming hole reserved exclusively for residents.

The home is not just where we stay, it is part of the experience itself.
