Ridgecrest spreads throughout 1200 acres of the gorgeous Blue Ridge Mountain, and features an abundance of housing, meeting spaces, recreational activities, and dining options. Lodging and meal plans are booked separate from conference registration.
Ridgecrest Conference Center provides a variety of hotel-style rooms to accommodate your family or team each with a different configuration of beds, including king or queen beds, or up to 8 sets of bunk beds.
Staying at Ridgecrest requires purchase of a meal package, which includes 3 meals per day at the onsite dining room. Meal costs are automatically added to the booking total (divided across the number of days & people in the room).
Ridgecrest offers alternate food options for those with special dietary needs. If you have severe allergies, though, please call them at 828.669.8022 to discuss options.
At checkout, only the first night’s lodging is required as a deposit.
