Melrose Manor | Grand Opening | Cabin in Hendersonville

Melrose Manor is the largest cabin tucked within Orchard’s Edge, a private 22-acre woodland escape in the Blue Ridge Mountains bordering Jeter Mountain Farm. Featuring 4 bedrooms, a media room, fireplace, fitness studio, children’s play nook, and multiple gathering spaces, it is designed for unforgettable family getaways, group stays, or corporate retreats.

The Cabin Experience
Inside, Melrose welcomes guests with warm natural materials and calming tones that reflect the quiet beauty of the surrounding forest.
The main living area features expansive windows overlooking the trees, filling the space with natural light and creating a peaceful connection to the surrounding landscape. A comfortable living room with a fireplace offers an inviting place to relax after a day spent exploring the mountains.
The full kitchen and dining area provide ample space for preparing and sharing meals together, whether enjoying a slow breakfast before heading out for the day or gathering for a relaxed evening dinner.
Melrose offers generous sleeping accommodations with four bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, making it ideal for families and groups traveling together. The primary suite provides a peaceful retreat complete with its own private balcony overlooking the forest. Additional bedrooms include one king bedroom and one queen bedroom, while the cozy bunkroom for six creates a fun and welcoming sleeping space loved by younger guests.
The spa-inspired bathrooms feature natural stone finishes along with rainfall showers, heated toilet seats, and plush robes, creating a relaxing place to unwind after a day of hiking, waterfall chasing, or exploring nearby towns.
Throughout the home, additional spaces make the stay especially memorable. Guests can enjoy movie nights in the media room, maintain their wellness routines in the fitness studio, or let younger visitors explore the charming forest-themed play nook. A laundry room is also available for added convenience during longer stays.
Melrose offers several outdoor spaces designed to take in the quiet beauty of the forest. The front porch with rocking chairs provides a peaceful place to begin or end the day, while the side deck with outdoor dining tables creates an inviting setting for meals outdoors. The back patio features a private hot tub, ideal for soaking beneath the mountain sky.
Guests of Orchard’s Edge are also welcome to gather at the retreat’s community Embergrove, which includes a stone firepit along with picnic tables, charcoal grills, and hammocks- creating a shared space for enjoying the beautiful outdoors.

Orchard’s Edge
Melrose Manor is part of Orchard’s Edge, a private 22-acre retreat born from a desire to create a place where time slows, the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains can be fully experienced, and moments with loved ones become lasting memories.
Rooted in intentional design and genuine Southern hospitality, every detail of the retreat has been thoughtfully considered. Whether you are celebrating a special occasion or simply stepping away from the pace of everyday life, Orchard’s Edge was created to feel both luxurious and deeply welcoming.
Orchard’s Edge is currently in Phase 1 of a five-phase development plan. Today, the retreat includes three luxury cabins and The Embergrove, a shared gathering space with a stone firepit, picnic tables, charcoal grills, and hammocks tucked beneath the trees.
As the retreat continues to grow, guests can look forward to a fourth cabin, private hiking trails, and curated experiential packages coming soon. The full masterplan includes fifteen custom cabins and a collection of bespoke amenities including a spa, library, stargazing observatory, organic-style pool, pottery studio, and event space… all created to offer an immersive, one-of-a-kind way to experience the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Our philosophy is simple, yet uncommon. True luxury and hospitality do not end with beautiful spaces and experiences; they support your well-being at every touchpoint.
At Orchard’s Edge, every detail has been chosen through the lens of our guests’ well-being. From the products used to prepare your cabin to the subtle signature scent in the air, from spa inspired bath amenities to your sleep environment, cookware, and even the smallest kitchen details… every element has been considered to help you slow down and breathe a little deeper.
This intention is woven throughout your stay, including:
• Non-toxic cleaning standards
• Non-toxic cookware and kitchen essentials
• Biophilic, nature-inspired design
• Spa-inspired bathrooms
• Bedrooms thoughtfully designed using sleep science principles
