Perfection in the forest!!
We stayed only 2 short nights, but it really was perfect! The weather allowed us to enjoy the screen porch and windows open all night to hear the river and falls -- so relaxing and quite magical!! We were able to fish a little and take some nice walks around the property with our dog -- no leash, its so nice!! The cabin is super comfortable with everything you need, lots of nice touches that made me feel at home!! This is definitely a place to come if you love nature and quiet, peaceful vacations! Would love to come stay for longer next time!!

Beautiful Location
We had a great weekend at Elysium Falls. It is perfectly located next to a beautiful river and has a private hiking trail on the property. We brought our two dogs and really enjoyed some off leash time. We made the hike up to the camping area twice and spent an afternoon exploring the river. We built a fire at the fire pit and made smores, and enjoyed drinking our morning coffee on the porch. We also explored downtown Marshall and the Sandy Bottom Gem Mine. The house itself had everything we needed to cook and be comfortable. It was a great weekend.

The perfect getaway
Many times when you rent a place it turns out to be not as nice as the pictures. Elysium Falls was actually much nicer than the pictures made it out to be. My husband and I enjoyed sitting on the screened-in porch and listening to the little waterfall in the creek below the house, and when it came time to cook, the kitchen had every utensil, pan, and pot we could have wished for. We enjoyed being away from everything and have already made return reservations for the fall. All in all, it was a perfect place for a quiet and relaxed trip.

Wonderful Property
This piece of property is incredibly. It's remote, so be prepared to lose your cell signal. A great idea is to download offline google maps so you can ensure you make it to your destination with no hiccups. The drive up the mountain can be a bit anxious if you're not used to driving in terrain such as this, but it's totally worth it. Not much need to leave the property other than for groceries. The river is beautiful and there's plenty to explore. The structure is in great condition and was fully stocked with cooking supplies as well as detergents and bleach for laundry. We loved it and will definitely return. PET FRIENDLY!

Wonderful Escape Surrounded by Nature
This cabin was exactly what I was looking for. I did a personal "learning" retreat and wanted a secluded cabin with a running creek that had nature to be enjoyed. This cabin checked every box and more! The wonderful screened in porch (huge porch) with fans overlooking the creek was perfect. I spent several hours a day sitting on the porch and enjoying the sound of the creek, the fan keeping it comfortable in late-June and being isolated. Back home in a more city area with roads, cars, sirens and the like I miss the cabin all the time. I didn't get to take advantage of the camping platforms but everything about this cabin was great. Lots of kitchen equipment to cook meals and enjoy. Comfortable beds. Clean, clean, clean. Also... very stable and fast internet so even though you're out of service range you can enable wi-fi calling and it works perfectly. Thank you for sharing your cabin!

Charming house surrounded by the wonders of nature
When the VRBO hosts give you their phone number and invite you to tap on their door if you need anything, you immediately feel confident you chose a quality accommodation with hosts who want you to have a great experience. And we definitely had a great experience. As you drive along the tree-lined creekside driveway to the house, you begin entering a peaceful world shrouded in nature's beauty. One of our favorite things was relaxing on the screened in porch taking in the scenery and sounds of the rushing waters. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely, comfortable house which had everything we needed. As a bonus we had a delightful visit with the very gracious owners and look forward to many return visits.

Fantastic mountaintop adventure
We had a great time at Elysium falls. Property was neat as a pin and very flexible. Great hiking and additional camping space at the top of the mountain with quiet Appalachian seclusion and the sounds of nature. We also did a lot of fly fishing in the creek having caught several small rainbows and a 12" brown. Great host/hostess...highly recommended!

Tranquil tranquility
The property was conveniently located off of Main road. Large piece of property with Old Logging trails for walking. Beautiful trees everywhere. The creek that runs right next to the house is super peaceful. We would open up one of the patio doors just to listen to the water rushing by. Really enjoyed the fire pit along the creek. Everything was clean and worked as it should. Just make sure to bring some s'mores to cook up by the fire pit outside.

Everything you could want
Our family booked Elysium Falls for our Thanksgiving celebration. The cabin had everything we could have needed or wanted. The kitchen was full stocked with all the needed appliances to cook a full thanksgiving meal. The secluded area with the creek and hiking trails offered a great retreat with family. We would all recommend a stay.

Blissfully peaceful
Loved every moment of our stay. The peace and quiet, along with the music of the creek, makes for a wonderful, restful stay. Plenty of space, fully equipped residence, and hosts that are attentive to all your needs. There’s absolutely no reason to not want to stay here. Unless, of course, you hate nature and need to be in a big city. Then I wouldn’t recommend staying here. But if you want to unplug and unwind, you won’t be disappointed! Build a fire, roast a marshmallow, go for a hike, do some star gazing, play in the creek (summertime only), take an outdoor shower, all the things you can’t do when surrounded by buildings and loads of people. My partner and I really enjoyed our stay and plan to return again in the future. It was sad to return to reality after our long weekend was over.

Wonderful mountain get away
My family and i had a wonderful relaxing stay at Elysium Falls. The house was clean and perfect for our family of four. The property was beautiful and our kids loved playing in the water and exploring in the woods. The property js pretty far out (which is what we wanted) but close enough to Asheville and Hot Springs to take day trips. Overall great experience!

Escape to nature with modern amenities
We had a wonderful trip to the mountains of NC. The property is a bit of a drive through the mountains from Marshall and going almost anywhere will take 25mins to an hour from the property. The location worked out well as a base for exploring the towns, sites and streams north of Asheville. The property is beautiful and allows for easy hikes out the front door as well as convenient trout fishing. We caught quite a few brown and rainbow trout just hiking up and down the creek on the property. The creek that runs along the front of the property and along the house provides a wonderful back drop for relaxing on the screened in porch or around the fire pit. The house is charming, clean and boasts quite a few modern convinces - Heat/AC (if needed), amazing hot water, full size washer and dryer, dishwasher, gas range and impressive fiber internet speeds that handled multiple steaming devices and video conference calls simultaneously. The two bedrooms + loft and 1.5 bathrooms makes this house really practical for a family or multiple adults.

Peaceful Serenity
I was looking for a place that i could lose my self in nature and unwind and this place did all of that and more. The property has a nice tail system, the creek was fantastic, and the cabin was amazing. The screened in back pouch was a favorite of mine also. The property owners where great and very friendly and reply fast to any questions I had. It is a very good idea to go to the store on your way to the cabin they are not joking when they say the closest one is 35 min away along with a gas station.
