Had a great stay and loved this property. The waterfall was great and kids loved playing in the creek. Location is perfect and very convenient to both Highlands and Franklin. We will definitely book this cabin again!
We spent Thanksgiving there and had a great time! My sons said it felt like home. The location is beautiful and the house is cozy. The pictures don't do the waterfall justice. Very cool property. Close to Franklin and Highlands and lots of waterfalls/hiking! We'll definitely be back!
This house has lots of character. The view from the living room and loft is so beautiful plus the fall colors were just amazing, looking forward to my next visit!!!

The wow 𤊠review
Definitely enjoyed my stay in this rare find of peace and tranquility with the majestic waterfalls right out your back door and the babbling Brook along the cottage is almost something I had a fantasies. Yes, the house is rustic, but comfortable and cozy, but my main reason of going there Wasnât to sit in the cottage it was to explore the great outdoor outdoors and the various waterfalls throughout the area I would highly recommend anybody that loves nature and the sounds of water to come try this fantasy property for themselves.
It was a neat place! The waterfall is amazing, we could look out the window and see it lit up beautifully at night from the main room and the master bedroom.. it was peaceful.. we live the natural fire place and outdoor fire pit.. location was excellent for Franklin, Highlands, and Cashiers-
Highly recommend staying there!
This house was very comfortable. Had all amenities we needed. The outdoor space beautiful with the waterfall and fire pit. Lots of beautiful trails to hike in the area. Walking around downtown Franklin always fun. If you like to hike but not sure where to go we always stop by Outdoor 76 to pick up some souvenirs and talk to whoever is working that day (they all know the area and the best hikes for whatever the skill level)
The property is in a beautiful location within driving distance of a wonderful array of waterfalls and the splendid mountain town of Highlands. The twist is that you also have a waterfall in your back yard providing a unique backdrop to the cabin. Overall inside it is spacious and well designed to ensure that you always see the waterfall whether you are in the living room or even the master bedroom. Would highly recommend
This property was exactly what we were looking for. Mountainside sights, tranquility right in the backyard and comfort inside the home .. I could keep going with plenty more, honestly.
We held a small wedding ceremony next to the fall, where several butterflies joined. Sat and enjoyed guitar play by the fire, watched movies with the falls in view, from the sofas. â¤ď¸
Looking forward to our next stay here. Thanks Jason!
Sincerely,
Kristyn
This is a nice property. Neighbors are close on one side and only really noticeable if you are outside which you will be because of the waterfall. Not a man made waterfall - a true beautiful, peaceful breath taking waterfall right off the back deck. The house gives off very vintage cabin cottage vibes. All bedrooms are upstairs with a shared full bath and then there is another full bath downstairs. If you are coming with several people, pay close attention to the layout of the bedrooms. The house is dog friendly although not too many places to walk them that arenât private properties. There are no food deliveries which isnât a problem, just plan ahead. I would stay here again for the view alone and all of our guests agree.
Rustic home with lots of old character overlooking a beautiful waterfall! Centrally located to many towns & hikes.
Host was super with communication. He set up a Christmas tree for our family and gave us a bottle to celebrate the new year too! He was quick to respond and gave great suggestions.
Restaurants we'd recommend in the area- Taco Loco right down the street (I know it's part of a gas station, but it was soooooo good), Bent Willow for coffee & pastries in Franklin, 828 Cafe for breakfast & lunch in Franklin, Blue Bike Cafe in Highlands for breakfast & lunch, White Moon Cafe in Sylva for coffee & breakfast and Happs in Glenville for lunch (great outdoor area with cornhole- dog friendly).
Thank you for welcoming us and our dogs into your home!
We booked back in August and after Helene we were worried about the location and the accessibility. Shawn was incredible. I must have texted him 100 times about everything and his response time is impressive. He answered all my questions and allayed our fears so we traveled to NC.
Getting there was not a problem and the house was incredible. It was well stocked, had everything you could need and a few things you would not have thought of. Dog bowls, a kennel, books, pans for looking for gold in the creek, board games, firewood⌠and a smart TV for the kids. They had a blast climbing the waterfall, playing in the water and just being kids.
Speaking of the waterfall, the photos made it look like a hike down to the fire pit and waterfall but it was right off the back patio. Also, there is a new deer head on the fireplace that was not in the photosâŚ
Thanks for a wonderful stay!
The waterfall and your dogâŚwhat more do you need?
The waterfall is amazing and literally off the back deck. Views of the falls from most anywhere in the house. Kitchen well set up. Clean. Stayed here with senior dogs and appreciate the dog-friendly stay. The cabin is right near two others and a steep road so be mindful of that if bringing pets. Stairs are steep to second floor and decks are multi-level, so maybe not ideal for pets or folks with mobility issues. But the view of the waterfall was so unique and special. Communication was prompt. We had an issue with hot water that was quickly resolved and didnât affect our stay. Itâs a vintage cabin and youâre in the mountains! We ate in Highlands at Four65 Woodfire each night-great wine and food! Visited Franklin and enjoyed the greenway for our dogs and the Main Street cafes. Just the getaway we needed. Excellent.
Loved staying here! The waterfall is amazing, and the views from the home are lovely. Only drawback - It was RIGHT off the road, and there was heavy machinery moving the remnants of a landslide, otherwise it would be a very peaceful place.
Property was perfect for a getaway with my family. The waterfall behind the cabin with the fire pit directly beside it was the perfect place to spend evenings together. An easy and beautiful drive to the cabin centrally located between Franklin and Highlands.
The location is beautiful and the host went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our stay. He communicated so well you can tell he really cares for his guests. We are looking forward to staying here again.

This cabin is absolutely stunning - the waterfall in the backyard took our breath away!
Excellent experience and canât wait to stay at this heaven below clouds cabin and WOW waterfall
Fantastic getaway! Location was great between Franklin and Highlands. Access and parking for normal cars - do not need 4 wheel drive to get to property. Waterfall is shared with neighbors but had no idea they were even there.Will book again!
We had a nice time. We chose this property for the waterfall and our kids enjoyed playing in the water, which is shallow and safe. It was in a nice and quiet area. Shopping is close by.

Great time
I had a fantastic time at the water fall cabin, it was cozy, warm and inviting,, my dog loved playing in the creek water,, can't wait to return
Our family really enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect, with proximity to hiking trails and other activities in each direction.The pictures don't do the backyard justice, as it was amazing. Not a much better view for coffee or anything.....The house met our needs and the kitchen was equipped with all needs. Very relaxing and highly recommend. Host was very responsive as well.
The view of the waterfall is amazing and very relaxing. The house was very clean and nicely stocked with all the basics. The owner was very responsive and easy to communicate with. My husband and I enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back again.
The loft master bedroom is a cozy and comfortable room!! Everything worked as advertised and we were very happy with the house. The waterfall takes this over the top!!!
