About this property

Soothing Waters - 2BR home on stream with a hot tub!

The mind is a terrible thing to waste unless that is your intention. Sometimes that's the best form of relaxation, to just sit on the deck and listen to the sounds from the soothing stream below and just waste a few moments by yourself nestled under a canopy provided by 70 foot Hemlock trees. Soothing Waters will change your way of thinking and that's exactly why you should be here. There are two queen bedrooms, one on each floor, as well as two full baths plus additional sleeping for two in the loft.

​​​​​​​Hot tub and gas grill on the deck, internet and pet friendly, EV charging station (J1772 EV charger @ 30 Amp), gas log fireplace, central heating/air, master bath features a jacuzzi bathtub and tile shower to die for, modern kitchen, well furnished Family Room, rustic yet was the whole idea. Soothing Waters is not just a name, it's a place in the mountains just quietly you.

A fantastic cabin close to Boone

We really enjoyed our stay here. The cabin was very clean and comfortable. We spent a lot of time on the back deck enjoying the woods and the sound of the stream below, as well as some cozy nights by the fireplace reading. Check-in was super easy, as was communication with the renters during our stay. We were only a 15 minute drive to downtown Boone, but the cabin felt like you were kind of away from it all so we could enjoy the peace and quiet of the woods. We would absolutely stay here again.

Wonderful Cabin

Soothing waters was wonderful!! The cabin is nicely furnished with very comfy beds. Loved the little (but big) touches such as a sound machine in each room, kitchen and bath soap sets, coffee pods etc. The kitchen had everything you need to cook. The location was peaceful- it felt so remote, but was not far from grocery etc. The kids absolutely loved the stream and fishing in the pond. We would stay again!!

Wonderful place for our anniversary.

This cabin was the perfect place for a relaxing get away with my wife. She loved the cabi so much she did not want to leave. The lighted Christmas tree was a wonderful touch. The whole cabin was perfect. The view and sounds of the stream off the back porch were truly relaxing.

Great family vacation!

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful cabin. It was perfect for our family of 4 plus our pup! We were close in proximity to attractions and restaurants while still staying in a quiet, relaxing, secluded location. The hot tub was a nice bonus as well as stocked coffee for us tired parents. We would recommend this to all our friends. The only negative was the mattress pads wouldn’t stay on the beds and the pillows were very flat. Otherwise we had an amazing time and are so blessed you shared your incredible home with us.

A little peace of perfection

This sweet cabin truly has it all!! The sheets, blankets and towels are so soft. Fun books and games at the ready. A gas fireplace 🔥 The Creek!!! A wonderful hot tub on the deck. It is the most soothing place I have been at in a while. The construction of the cabin is exquisite. Loved everything about this cabin and hope to return!

Serene and Cozy

Such a cozy cabin with all the comforts of home. Warm fireplace, clean hot tub outside and such a comfortable place. The owners thought of everything to make your stay enjoyable. Sitting on the porch and watching the leaves fall and seeing the deer jump around on the property were just great, so relaxing! Cabin was immaculately clean. Can’t wait to return someday soon!

Soothing Waters is a perfect name

This cabin is a perfect choice for a stay in the area. The location was easy to find, the management company provided excellent info, and the check-out/clean-up process was the easiest I've ever experienced in my 10 years of renting properties. The cabin itself is charming, with a great use of space without feeling small, and has a well-appointed kitchen -- especially if you are a coffee connoisseur. The babbling creek is so close by that hanging out on the back porch or in the hot tub was our favorite part. The spotlight on the creek & the string of lights on the porch were also a nice addition at night time. Can't wait to return!

Perfect cabin

We enjoyed our stay at this charming cabin. It is just perfect. Rustic, but updated. Had everything we needed. We loved the creek and our dogs loved exploring around it. Nice little walk to the pond also. Not hard to get to the house. Curvy roads but well maintained (even gravel road). Very quiet and private. Beds and pillows were very comfortable. Amber and Emily were a real pleasure to work with at the rental agency. Incredibly helpful and friendly. Great communication. Our cabin was ready about two hours early and they called to let us know which was perfect since we had just arrived in the area. Cabin is convenient to Banner Elk and Boone. The only suggestions I would make is maybe an end table beside the couch with a lamp for reading and placing a cup and an ottoman or footstools. Furniture was very comfortable though. Nice touch with the Keurig and pods and also grinder with beans. Wouldn’t hesitate to rent here again.

Cute and clean

Rating Details: The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Cute cabin and clean. Nice that firewood is provided. The biggest negative would be the beds. They’re terribly uncomfortable and are full size, not queen. The pull out sofa bed is a queen, but again, very uncomfortable. If they’d get better beds and queen sized, we’d return.

Loved the Cabin and the Location! It was all that we hoped for!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location was just what we wanted, and the descriptions were accurate. It was a short run to the Mast Store in Valle Crucis and was not far from Boone. Soothing Waters was on a small creek that you could hear from the porch- very relaxing! It was in a wooded area- no neighboring cabins were up under us. The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed...nice hot tub, too! We enjoyed seeing the deer and adorable chipmunks. Also, Emily and other staff were a pleasure to work with!

A week at the cabin

We really enjoyed our stay at Soothing Waters. The cabin was very clean & we felt at home while staying. We had our 2 dogs with us & there are great places to walk them. We also fell in love with the area. In the hustle of today's life this was an amazingly perfect place to get back to nature!!
