Waterfall Haven

The waterfall is the main attraction on this property and is what keeps me going back each year. It drowns out the noise from the road, is extremely peaceful and very remote but not far of a drive into the near-by towns. The house has everything you could possibly need to get by and is always cleaned up nicely.

Private waterfall!!!

The property is fantastic! The waterfall is about 30ft from the deck and you can see it from the living room, kitchen sink, and master bedroom. The house is a little dated, but clean. There are window unit A/Cs and heaters in each room, but no central HVAC. The driveway may be a little tight for a larger vehicle. The hot tub was a bonus! Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Cute little cottage in the mountains

The location of this home made for a nice quiet getaway from reality for a few days. We really enjoyed waking up to the sound of the waterfall every morning. If it had been a little warmer we would have loved to sit on the deck & have breakfast with a view. It was the perfect space for our lowkey vacation.

Beautiful!

This place was absolutely beautiful! Waking up to hearing the waterfall each morning was amazing. We enjoyed sitting on the porch listening to it each night and morning. Everything was clean with enough extras for anything you may need. Only thing I was not a fan of was the gas heaters but we made due! Will for sure return to this property if we are ever in Bryson City again!

Private Waterfall

This home is cozy, clean and comfortable! It is near Bryson City but private and secluded with a waterfall that is simply gorgeous! Warm and toasty gas heaters, comfortable beds, great fire pit with plenty of chopped wood and kindling. Only complaint was that GPS (specifically Waze and Google Maps) didn’t match location precisely.

Amazing waterfall

Great little place for relaxing by the waterfall. Creek runs right behind the cabin so you can hear it through out the whole cabin. Only draw back would be the furniture. Beds and livingroom furniture could be updated for those of us who want to just stay in.

Waterfall Paradise

The cabin is very cute, secluded and off of a true mountain curvy road. We had to call for directions upon arrival because WAZE kept telling us the road to turn on was called something different than what it is. The owner was very sweet and understanding and guided us right to the cabin. The waterfall and property are AMAZING! This will definitely become an annual getaway vacation spot.

Peaceful secluded paradise

House is tucked right off the highway (entry was a gravel/rut road but my charger handled it nicely). The house is an older home with rustic furnishings that were so cozy and comfy! The couch and chaise lounge were super soft. Bedrooms were all upstairs but the one we used was very comfortable. TVs all worked great and had a variety of Dish TV entertainment. We logged into the WiFi but didn’t find a strong signal and had trouble sending/receiving texts but we were ok with unplugging from the world for a few days. Kitchen was well appointed for cooking meals at home and the fridge/stove worked great. The weather was perfect for our trip but each room is equipped with its own AC unit and log heaters that I’m sure would keep anyone comfy if needed. The gas grill was clean and in working order. Hot tub was clean and amazing! The highlight of this hidden gem is the large waterfall/small creek right outside the door. It was beautiful and easy to get into to splash around. We kept the windows open to hear the mesmerizing sounds of the waterfall all weekend. Host was very proactive and message ahead to help with check in questions making the process easy. 10/10 would recommend for a private getaway into nature!

Water Fall House was amazing!

This is our second stay here and I would rent again. We loved everything about it! The location was good for us. The sounds of the waterfall, the hot tub....everything was perfect. I had a question and the property manager answered promptly and checked in a couple of times to make sure all was well. I'd highly recommend this property to family and friends! Thanks for the great week!!

A little taste of paradise

If ever there was a heaven on earth its wrapped in a beautiful package at Falling Waters. We spent our 10th anniversary there and couldn't have asked for a more romantic place. Secluded off the mountain side, we viewed the majestic waterfall and the bubbling brook that runs along side the cottage...it was so surreal. The owner was a pleasure to deal with, and we plan to visit again. It was our own little vacation in paradise.... Tim and Melissa

dirty & muggy inside - bad communication

The house is dirty and has cobwebs behind beds and furniture, leaking A/C units in the bedrooms, and a definite smell of mildew & mold in bedrooms and general stale stench in the whole house. Lots of moisture coming into the house from the waterfall. Wifi barely has a signal that dips in and out depending on the weather and there is no cell phone service. In the sitting areas there isn't enough seating and kitchen has bare minimal basics and odd dishware. Additionally, the property manager does not read messages when you book the property and is not responsive or responsible.

Relaxing and beautiful getaway

This is a place that feels like a home away from home - with some very cool perks. The waterfall and creek on the property sets the ambiance with both the sounds & views. The hot tub was wonderful for both cool mornings and evenings. Each bedroom has its own heater, window unit AC, ceiling fan, & tv. Windows open to the waterfall which is great. We stayed in October so we were using heat at night and no AC. The heat in the house is different in each room. We read the reviews about the mix of gas heaters in the house, and they are correct. The fireplace in the house should be avoided because the pilot light is so temperamental, we just had to go without heat in the main room on our last night. There are several notes on the fridge about not letting the pilot light go out - but no instructions to return it to normal operating order when (not if) it goes out. The WiFi was fine on the property despite what some reviews said. There were several different notes with 2 service providers and 2 passwords, so it is trial & error until you nail down which WiFi to connect. The reviews stated that cleanliness and spiders were an issue - we did not see a single spider or other bug while there, so happy to report that! Bathrooms were clean etc. The kitchen is stocked with plenty of dishes and utensils (beware cleanliness due to previous guests), Keurig, microwave. The big grill outside was a plus! Bring your own seasonings, coffee, etc. Host was easy to talk to via text for any questions.

Falling Waters

This home was everything we were hoping it would be. We had no problems from beginning to end in regards to booking, finding and accessing the property. The house was clean and comfortable with everything we needed. The waterfall was beautiful and the hot tub was wonderful. We thoroughly enjoyed the creek and went in it quite a bit! The location was terrific as well, close enough to Bryson City and the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad (the main reason for our trip) but far away from everything else. Our trip was fantastic and we would love to return for another "adventure" sometime in the future. Thanks so much for sharing!

Not so pictorisque

The waterfall was very nice, that's about all! None of the floors were level so you felt off balance all the time. The beds were uncomfortable, the furniture is wore out,, when you walk around upstairs the light fixtures down stairs bounce🥴,this could be a nice place but it needs ALOT of TLC. The pictorisque view is the waterfall, because everything else is dirt embankment and fallen trees. It was definitely an experience!

Nice views. Additional items needed in house.

Clean but harmless outside bugs were common inside the house. An air conditioner is needed in the second upstairs bedroom. A decent size skillet is needed in the kitchen. Internet service is no better than the old 'dial up' type. Owner is responsive and keeps the house and equipment well maintained.

Great Family Fun

The other reviews are not exaggerating about the cleanliness/age of the furniture and appliances, the wifi is not great and I had no cell service. It feels more tucked away in the woods than the photos make it seem, and you must drive on long windy roads to go anywhere. BUT THAT WATERFALL. I have been coming to the Smokies since childhood and having your own creek and waterfall to enjoy was absolutely priceless. Once we went wading in the creek all the negative feelings I felt about the cabin washed away because I remembered why I was there. Not for a boujee getaway but to have fun with my family making memories! I miss it already and cannot wait to return. It was a little nerve-wracking chasing a two-year old around stairs and embankments but families with kids who are a little older could spend hours playing in the creek. They provided some DVDs but I would definitely recommend bringing some or backup entertainment (books, what are those?) for when it rains TV and wifi go away.

Tropical Rainforest in the Mountains

This place was great. One of the best vacations ive had. I admit, i was kinda hesitant about this place after reading some of the other reviews. But my daughter picked it out of a few choices I gave her. I ended up being very happy with it. I have to comment on some of the negative reviews I saw. First i want to say...this place is not fancy...and thats a good thing. But there is nothing wrong with that. The furniture and beds were very comfortable. Nothing wrong with the floors. I had a 3 and 9 year old with me and with them running around and playing... nothing out of the ordinary. There were spiders, but like my title said....the woods around the house are very thick, and theres a creek literally right next to the house....its expected. The only downfall about this cabin....theres no cellphone signal and the wifi was non existent...even sitting next to the modem. You would have a full signal, but it was still so slow you couldn't really do anything. Im guessing its satellite internet. I learned the hard way, you need to screenshot the entrance instructions before you get there😁 The creek and waterfall were amazing. I loved the winding road that its on and its just the right distance from everything. So all and all... I loved this cabin and will definitely be returning.

Secluded with a private waterfall, landline, tv/satellite, and wifi! We also had cell service!!

After reading many reviews on this home, we sent a message and decided to book with Angela. Much to our joy, the home was available the week we were planning to visit Bryson City! First, she is QUICK to reply to messages and very friendly. I loved that she answered me right away and accepted our booking immediately as I had included that it would be our family vacay. I was taken with her details of growing up here in her description as family is very important to us as well. We arrived to a very clean property & home. The pics just don't do this place justice!! We were thrilled to find that there was dish soap and hand soaps out so that we did not have to dig through our bags to immediately locate those. :) The weather was beautiful every single day and we were thrilled to enjoy some time on the deck and enjoy the falls and I was able to capture some great shots here as well!! We easily fell asleep to the sound of the falls while just relaxing. I did read from others that they had no phone service, we all did. I have Verizon and our adult children have another carrier and they both had service in the home. The best place was the side of the home facing the road but we were able to use our phones at the home and inside, I'm not sure if this is due to a new tower or perhaps better signals?! Just wanted to mention this as it was mentioned in several reviews so I checked while there. I was able to send texts and email on my phone as well. All of the bedrooms are on the second floor, however that is a plus for most people as traveling can be a bit unsettling for smaller children. This was not a problem for us, but I can assure you that there is plenty of room downstairs for an air mattress for anyone who can't go up and down easily, but the showers are all upstairs. The hot tub is really clean and you can see the falls and the fire pit from where it is located. The grill is clean and conveniently located as well. The kitchen had pretty much everything we needed. I could go on and on, but I would encourage you to price a hotel in Bryson City.... Trust me, this home is actually cheaper!! We rented a hotel for one night and it costed more for that one night for one room than this three bedroom home. Our family was able to enjoy a fun filled train ride, lake day, white water rafting, and many other local activities thanks to the location of her home!! Thank you for making our first stay with VRBO a good one! Chris, Julie, Kristin, & Matthew
