Sensational Waterfall Retreat- Hot Tub, Family/Pet Friendly near Asheville

Enjoy incredible treehouse views alongside a waterfall and overlooking a tranquil river in this this one of a kind luxurious 3BR/1BA cabin centrally situated near Asheville, between all of the must-see destinations and the wealth of outdoor trails, waterfalls and adventures in the region. After a day of fun come home to a lavishly furnished cabin with incredible outdoor space to enjoy. Climb the waterfall beside the house to see an enchanted fairy tree stump, surrounded by wildflowers, ferns and birds. Play in the mountain stream and catch fish or crawdads. Read and enjoy the views on the front porch swing. As evening falls, head to the waterfall deck to relax in the hot tub overlooking the waterfall, light up the grill in the yard, have a beer on the back deck while enjoying amazing river views, nap in the hammock overlooking the river, do yoga on the deck over the waterfall, roast marshmallows in the custom stone fire pit under the clear and starry mountain sky! No matter what your preferred way of relaxing is, we have you covered! Stay long enough and you can enjoy them all. The children's room is full of so many games, toys, movies, books, art supplies, etc. that they will entertain themselves for hours, allowing adults some time to relax. Enjoy hiking, kayaking, canoeing, swimming, fishing, apple picking, dining out, zip lining, horseback riding, golfing, antiquing, brewery tours, pontoon boat tours, a working farm tour, barn dancing, an Amish store, fresh cheese from a goat farm, mountain biking, motorcycle riding, gem mining, a winery tour or dining out ALL within minutes from this centrally located home nestled between Asheville, Hendersonville, Chimney Rock, Lake Lure, Blue Ridge Parkway, Black Mountain, DuPont and Pisgah Forests.

Another great way to enjoy the outdoors is a guided bass fishing adventure on beautiful Lake Lure. Carolina Trophy Bass Guides offers 1/2 day and full day trips. Contact Mark Cook at 828-329-3517 or check out their web page at https://carolinastrophybassguides.com/tours

The house is very well stocked (toiletries, paper products, linens, etc) so you can pack lightly! We know planning a vacation in a region with so many offerings can be overwhelming, so we provide all guests a list of top recommendations for things to do during your stay. I am also happy to help you with specific questions you may have and to provide recommendations based on your individual needs/preferences. I pride myself on helping guests with any support/needs they have planning their trip. We also stock materials from the Visitor's Center, so planning your stay is made even easier.

*Note* There are 50 wooden stairs to access the bottom level of the cabin. Guests can either enter through the bottom door into the master bedroom, which requires a flight of stairs inside to ascend to the main floor, or continue up to the main entrace up stone stairs. There is no accessibility for those who cannot make the climb.

*Security camera facing road.

Beautiful Hidden Gem
We had a wonderful stay at this whimsical little getaway! It was very cute and well stocked. Our kids really loved the little rock slide in the creek, the hot tub, and the place had great toys and books out for our use. Chimney Rock and Lake Lure are less than 15 minutes away! Our only complaint was it wasn’t quite as clean as we’d hoped. There was evidence that the shams in the master were not cleaned before our arrival and some of the kitchen items were a little dirty (there is no dishwasher so I assume we were relying on the pervious tenants dishwashing skills). Though I’m sure these are mostly cleaning crew issues. The owners clearly love this place and so did we!

Quiet and beautiful, perfect place to stay for our honeymoon!! Host was the most responsive we’ve ever had! Only complaint is we had to wash our dishes which wasn’t a big deal except that we had to rely on the previous tenants to do a good job washing theirs and ended up having to wash some poorly washed mugs and silverware. Other than that I cannot recommend the host and locations enough!!

Mountain Paradise!
My husband and I had such a magnifcent stay at Hollee's property! The property was impeccable and was the getaway we so much needed. The location was perfect (close enough to the small towns, hiking trails, etc., yet far enough to make feel you are escaping the hustle and bustle of life). Waking up to the sounds of birds chirping and the babbling brook was so serene. Truly a mountain paradise where you can simply escape. Hollee thought of everything in making this the perfect stay, and she was a wonderful and responsive host. Look so forward to being able to return and would highly recommend this property. Thanks so much, Hollee, for a perfect getaway!

My wife and I actually won an overnight stay and to say we were impressed is an understatement. The cabin was cozy, and the hot tub was the perfect place to unwind after a long day of hiking at Chimney Rock. We cant wait to book our next trip as paying customers

Peaceful Retreat
Loved the property. There is a very nice and well kept outdoor area with a small grill, firepit, hot tub, and picnic table. We ate outside every evening and relaxed in the hot tub. I loved the small touches by the host with good quality paper towels, small areas for toiletries. The lighting outside was also a nice touch. The bedding was very comfortable as well.

Momma’s getaway!
This is our 2nd time staying at this property. The first time was an adventure and reconnecting with each other! This time it was all about DOING NOTHING!! It was marvelous. My partner and I are both busy working momma's, there is nothing like mid day uninterrupted naps, day drinking, Netflix binging, snack foods, cuddled up in the precious cabin! I 100% will stay here again in the summer to have a family trip with the kiddos to the lake! Hollee is so amazing and will answer any off the wall question to make your stay so much easier!! We are looking forward to our summer trip in a few month!! Thank you for sharing the amazing home with us!!

Cute, cozy cabin!
The cabin was perfect for our family! We loved the layout of the house itself, as we were all able to stay on the main floor. The kids' room was packed with toys, way more entertaining than the toys we brought from home. We felt like it was cozy, but everyone had plenty of space. It was about 30 min to Asheville and 12 minutes to Chimney Rock. We didn't even scratch the surface on everything there is to do right around there. We used Instacart to have our groceries delivered, but there are a couple of cute restaurants in Chimney Rock (check day of the week for whether or not they are open). We are looking forward to returning in the future!

The Van Gogh Home
I absolutely LOVED this property. The care & detail put into decorating each space made the home feel welcoming and relaxing. It feels like a home away from home. Peaceful and serene. The beautiful sunflowers throughout the property reminded me of one of my favorite artist, Van Gogh, so my kids and I renamed this lovely home, The Peaceful Van Gogh Retreat! We're looking forward to staying here again in the future.

Mountain Escape
This is a comfortable and cozy mountain house that is perfect for a relaxing vacation or weekend getaway. The surrounding mountains, rivers, and creeks give this place a remote and natural atmosphere. One of the highlights of our trip was a breathtaking view of Hickory Nut Gorge from Chimney Rock. We also enjoyed a challenging hike at Wildcat Rock Reserve. Altogether, a relaxing and beautiful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Hollee was quick to respond to any questions and an overall amazing property manager. 10/10.

We had a great stay at this cabin! Excellent location, super convenient to Chimney Rock & Asheville. Kitchen was furnished very well with everything we needed. Comfy memory foam mattress in master. Owner was very detailed with information for check in/out and really made us feel welcomed! Loved the outdoor space, hot tub, fire pit and waterfall. Our dog enjoyed exploring the outdoor space and waterfall also! Note if you bring your dog there is no real grassy area/yard, so we took her down across the street by the river mostly to take care of business. Thoroughly enjoyed our time there!!

Nice getaway
Wife and I needed to just get out of the house for a few days with work keeping us busy and tired, among the long work weeks we also have a 18 month and 4 month old. This place was perfect for us to just go, sit and relax and breathe some fresh air and have quiet. Our toddler loved the room, toys, and running around the Picnic area, and mom/little girl loved the porch swing. Would recommend this place to anyone, and the only suggestion I have is to add a gate at the top outside, my toddler thought the rocks were slides and wanted to go down and hes quick! But the sounds of the stream, birds, and cool fall breeze made this trip worth it and we'll definitely be back in the future.
