Pet Friendly, Polar Express, Hot tub, babbling creek

Serenity Falls' is an original Stone and Wood Cabin sits on 25 Acres of Beautiful Mountain Property, and there are Waterfalls that are a short, albeit rough, hike along the Creek.t is a peaceful and and is enhanced by the Babbling Creek that meanders through the length of the property and along side the Cabin.
Outside you will enjoy the fire pits, Sparkling Hot Tub that is placed under the Stars - along the Creek, and large shady yard. In the living room are original wood floors, comfortable living room furniture, and a large flat screen TV. The central point in the Cozy Living-room is the Native Stone (Wood burning) Fireplace. There is a full bathroom downstairs with an "old time" claw tub. There is another bathroom upstairs with a large bedroom with a comfortable king bed. Open up the windows at night and listen to the sound of the babbling creek. You will not not want to go back to city life There is a loft space that offers a twin day bed. There is a queen sleeper sofa in the living room with a new mattress added in November 2021.
Serenity Falls is very Private all year round, but isn't completely Secluded in the Winter (when all the trees have dropped their leaves, from the front of the cabin, you may see over the top/back side of a neighboring property that is past the parking area and across the field). You will be close to area restaurants, shopping, dining, the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, Cherokee, and Harrah's Casino. Within 10-15 minutes you can be in either Cherokee or Bryson City. A few minutes up the road is 'Coopers Creek Trout Pond' which makes catching your dinner very easy and fun! At Coopers Creek Trout Farm, you will find access to 7-10 miles of hiking trails that are part of the Great Smoky Mountains! You can walk there from the cabin, or drive there, park your car, and explore the hiking trails!
Within 15-20 minutes to the west, you can be tubing at Deep Creek (also beautiful waterfall hiking trails and a lovely picnic area), dining or shopping in Bryson City. A little farther and west of Bryson City is the Tsali for Hiking or Mountain Biking, Lake Fontana, The Nantahala Gorge (the N.O.C. with Whitewater Rafting, Kayaking, Zip Lining, and more). About the same distance to the east is Cherokee Indian Reservation, Harrah's Casino, and the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park.
..... If your vacation dates are during 'Season' or Holidays and you plan to rent a pontoon or fishing boat, it may be a good idea to reserve in advance! Lake Fontana is primarily National Forest, Smoky Mountains, and Federally owned.

Beautiful property

The grounds of this property are by far the best we have ever experience on VRBO. There is a large fire pit area and a beautiful stream running beside the home. It is so beautiful and peaceful. The rustic (in a good way!) cabin was cozy and met all of our needs and was conveniently located.

Everything here is Perfect! Easy to find, close to everything in just a few minutes. We spent a lot of time on the Nice Big Front Porch and even had a few meals. Big Yard to get out and enjoy and the Hot Tub was Wonderful!! If you want to do some cooking everything you need is here, Go to the Trout Farm and Cook your fish on the grill! The Place is Beautiful and so much to enjoy! Well can't wait to come back next year!! Your Host just a phone call away and Super Sweet!! We sure will be back!!!

Relaxing Time at Serenity Falls!

We had such an amazing time at Serenity Falls. It did not disappoint! Carlene, the owner of the home was the best!! She was there to answer any questions and sent the best directions on how to get to the cabin. I would strongly encourage anyone going to the cabin to look and study the directions that Carlene gives because the GPS sometimes may not get you to where Serenity Falls is. Her directions were spot on! The cabin was perfect for us. The babbling creek was a nice touch as well as the hot tub right next to it. We would definitely be back again to stay at this wonderful cabin!

Bryson City at serenity falls

The only thing we could possibly say negative. Was the grass had not been mowed. That was just us cause we take our dog for walks. And getting the cabin it hadn’t rained in a while so it was very dusty but that’s expected it being on a dirt road. Over all the stay was excellent. We got to bring my Italian Grey Hound. The cabin is definitely a cabin to rent again our next stay in Bryson. We were there for singing in the smokies. It was dusty there too. They just need rain. Thank you for our stay.

Exactly what us city slickers needed - ATTENTION PARENTS!

It was me & my husbands intention to plan a trip away from our busy city lives in Florida somewhere that we can show our 2 boys (ages 11 and 5) what the world looks like and Serenity Falls did not disappoint. The house was just beautiful and so cozy and clean with lots of thoughtful little touches everywhere. The property was secluded but open enough for our pup to run without being leashed and no people close enough to worry about him running off. The creek and little waterfalls along the property were super cold and fun to splash around in and just beautiful to watch from the peace of the hot tub right next to the creek and firepit. There was enough of a wifi connection at night for the boys to watch Netflix but we ended up spending most of our time playing Yahtzee (one of the many games Carlene had available onsite) on the lovely front porch. Our boys had so much fun shooting the targets we brought with their bb gun. Overall, we accomplished exactly what we wanted. Some serious quality time away from people lol. The town was close enough to run there for odds and ends and had so many fun little shops and the train station made for great photo ops. Overall, I give this property 10 out of 10 and would love to plan another retreat to Serenity Falls. Finally... our host Carlene was very attentive, kept in touch upon check in/out and was quick to answer all questions we had. Shes also pretty hilarious and fun to speak to. Do yourself a favor and book this cabin in the beautiful Smokey Mountains (which, BTW, did smoke the whole time and was quite amazing to see every day)

Loved this cabin!

My husband and our bulldogs and I spent the week at this cabin for our 10th wedding anniversary. We had such a great time and hardly wanted to leave the cabin. It has everything we love about the mountains. The creek that flows by it sounds lovely from the front porch and we enjoyed the firepit next to the creek many times. Thank you for sharing your cabin with us. We will definitely be back.

Super quaint and off the beaten path

Cabin was nice and exactly as advertised as to space and most amenities. We had trouble accessing tv channels and wifi worked but was extremely slow. You could not use streaming services so computer access, Hulu, Netflix, etc wasn't available. However, with that being said - you should plan to use the cabin as a get away and not need those anyway. The driveway is hard to manipulate - if you are in a small car, I'm not sure you could get up the hill. I'm glad we were in a truck. The place was beautiful, and in a very secluded setting way off the main road. The above is not meant to be negative at all, just an FYI that if the above is important to you - and not a beautiful unique setting in the woods -

Beautiful, serene and peaceful. We needed a unwind and this place hit the mark. Playing games and hanging out. The fire pit and hot tub were favorites of ours. Great place to just hang loose or a 15 minute drive to town. The farmers market at Darrell's farm was really close as well.

Bittersweet

This is a gorgeous property and I'm sure we would have had a spectacular time if we hadn't been caught in the path of hurricane Helene. I will say, if we had to be stuck somewhere, Serenity Falls was a great place to be stuck! This house is not only pretty, it's as sturdy as a tank; and, it's up on a mountain so there's no chance of flooding. Carlene was great about calling and checking on us, and she also gave us a heads up to shop for food and water and batteries before the storm hit. We did have some fun trout fishing on our first few days, and the road to Harrah's in Cherokee never closed, so that was a great rainy-day activity! We hope to make it back when there's better weather! Prayers for all of those who were impacted by this monumental storm.
