Summary:
The Waterfall Lodge is a gorgeous 3-story custom-built wooden lodge tucked away in the Blue Ridge Mountains of NC. With 5 bedrooms & 12 beds, our home is perfect for large families/groups!
Just 30 minutes from Asheville, guests are close to everything Western North Carolina has to offer!
You will never want to leave once you arrive at our mountain getaway, with your own private pond, hot tub, waterfall, babbling mountain brook, hiking trails, and more!
The Space:
As you pull into our driveway, you'll walk onto one of our two massive wraparound decks, bringing you to the main entrance which has a custom door code lock.
You will enter into our large, open concept living room with plenty of seating for big groups and even multiple families vacationing together. Here you can watch movies on our flatscreen TV, play board games on the coffee table next to the huge windows letting in tons of natural light, or just relax for awhile, enjoying the company of others. There is a large full bathroom attached to the living room, as well as another room dedicated for washer and drier, making laundry an easy task.
Past the main living room you can walk into our fully stocked kitchen with plenty of counter top space and all of the appliances you'd need to entertain larger groups. There is a center island as well for presenting food, extra seating space, or accompanying your partner as they prepare your next amazing meal :)
After the kitchen you'll see the main dining room for the home which has one of the largest (and most impressive) custom built tables you've ever seen! The wood used to build this table was taken from old farms located all over the state of North Carolina.
Just past the dining room we have our second wraparound deck with plenty of seating, benches, and additional dining areas. This deck is our particular favorite since it has a gorgeous view overlooking your own private pond. It's also situated perfectly to enjoy the waterfall cascading just feet from the house. The sound it gives off is relaxing and an amazing compliment for morning coffee sessions. During the summer months the trees provide some very comfortable shade, and as the leaves change color in the fall the views only get better! (can you tell we love this deck?)
Heading back into the house from the deck, you can walk upstairs where you'll find another large full bathroom along with three large bedrooms. The first is a HUGE master suite, featuring a California king sized bed sitting atop one of our several custom built bed frames made from trees cut down on memory mountain!
Attached to this master bedroom is a private bathroom with a large stone shower featuring two separate shower heads.
This master suite has an additional bunk bed off to the side providing two additional sleeping spaces.
We still have TWO more private bedrooms on this third floor, the second is a cute bunk bed room, with two separate bunk beds (both made from local memory mountain trees), with four twin beds.
The third bedroom upstairs has amazing views of the many ponds scattered across the mountain. It has tall vaulted ceilings and a large queen bed atop another custom wood bed frame.
BUT WAIT! There is another secret room...
If you walk into the closet area between the second and third bedroom upstairs, you'll find a wooden ladder leading up to one of our favorite aspects of this cabin, the TREEHOUSE ROOM!
This is an adorable little space with a twin bed, TV, and windows over looking the ponds. This is the perfect little getaway hidden in the house and a super cool place to sleep!
Heading down two floors you'll find yourself on the first floor/ground level. Here we have a second large living room with stone floors made from large flat rocks pulled from local rivers.
Attached to the living room are two additional bedrooms, each with large closets, dressers, and gorgeous stone floors.
One of the bedrooms has two beds (doubles) and the second bedroom has one large queen.
On the other side of the ground floor we have a game room that currently serves as the perfect arena for ping pong tournaments!
Once you've tired yourself out from playing ping pong, you can head directly out to one of the outdoor patios where you will see our large hot tub overlooking the waterfall. This is a great spot to unwind after a long day of hiking and enjoying the natural beauty North Carolina has to offer.
The Waterfall Cabin features amazing craftsmanship that you can see everywhere you look! The main living area has an immaculate open concept design, we have tall vaulted ceilings with huge windows letting in tons of natural light (as well as views of the gorgeous mountain landscape outside).
On this same floor you'll find our fully stocked kitchen featuring all of the countertop space and appliances you need to entertain large groups of people.
Next to the kitchen we have our dining room, featuring a MASSIVE custom built table made from local reclaimed wood with seating for 8 people.
There is second living room on the ground floor level featuring custom stone floors, plenty of couches/chairs, quick access to the hot tub patio, as well as our game room sporting a full size ping pong table!
Sip your morning coffee or tea on our oversized, wraparound decks, overlooking the mountain stream and waterfall as it flows from one pond to another (yes, there are 5). These decks are also great for eating dinner outdoors, or late-night card games.
Relax outside in the hot tub situated right next to the waterfall, where you can enjoy the spa treatment while listening to the sounds of nature.
We have a fire pit by the water's edge. You can roast marshmallows under the stars every night!
The main dining room features a HUGE custom-built wood table with tons of seating for large groups/gatherings. There are also large tables on the decks and picnic tables in the yard for outdoor meals.
We've done everything we can to make our home a dream come true vacation rental for large families and groups! Please reach out with any questions!
Our Lodge is just 30 minutes outside of Asheville, NC where guests can visit tons of breweries, restaurants, the historic Biltmore Estates, and plenty more!

"We stayed here with two families of 4 each. There are plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone.They had great space for gatherings, sharing meals and card games. We hiked several area trails, took a blacksmithing class, and drove into Asheville a few times. All of this made for a great spring break for our teens." - Jessica
