Waters Fall is a remarkable mountain home located in the Hound Ears resort community, just minutes from Blowing Rock, Boone, and Historic Valle Crucis, however, you may never leave the home and the gorgeous surroundings!

Peaceful Even In The Storm

Place was beautiful. Rained the whole time but that was okay, too. Rock slide due to rain was a major hassle getting around. Owner was nice but a couple of snafus/issues could have made things even nicer. No directions on how to control thermostat. Couldn't get TV on for 24 hrs. which caused other problems but not owner's fault. Just wasted a lot of time trying to get things working. Felt safe & secure. Could have used more than 2 washcloths & 2 towels for 2 adults staying on ground floor for 3 days. Could have used more than 2 rolls of toilet paper on each floor for a bunch of women (had to find a store to buy more). Got sick the last night we were there -- owner was kind enough to let us stay an extra hour. Grilled out during a break in the rain & the food promptly made me sick & I was responsible for my mom with dementia so still had to pack & get out by noon. Ugh! Lots of wasted time on this trip but again, not all on the owner.

Amazing stay!

First of all, the owner has thought of EVERYTHING! There are charging cords/ports for electronics exactly where you need them. Instructions for the property are clear and labeled clearly so you don’t have to second guess. I bought firewood on my way into town, but ample firewood (even fatlighter) was available. The kitchen is small, but so well equipped. The bed I slept in was supercomfy, with high quality linen. And the skylight above me gave me a view of the stars. The star of Waters Fall is the waterfall and noisy creek with the incredible deck and screen porch “room”. I was thrilled with the light snow shower the first two nights, however, if it had been warmer, I would have just spent all of my free time in that screened room. I’m definitely looking at my calendar to see if I can escape the summer heat in a month or two at this lovely cabin. It has some quirks—but they are simply cosmetic. The setting and the host’s thoughtfulness make Waters Fall a gem!

Amazing property

We loved this place. Most of our time was spent outside around the creek and on the deck. The proximity to Boone and Blowing Rock is perfect. We’ll definitely be back.

Would go back again in a second

I liked everything about the cabin, including the amazing neighborhood and hiking trails around it. Clean, comfortable, well-appointed but still very homey. Great communication by host. Also, master bedroom bed was extremely comfortable - a rarity in many rentals, even the nice ones. 20 minutes from everything, basically.

About the host

Always the mountains.

The sound, the calm, the water, the woods, the people.

Why they chose this property

I'm not objective. There is a love of the mountains, yes,... but. There is something about this piece of land that captures my heart -- in the morning, during the day, and blissfully at night -- with the light shining on the water, the stories of the day, and laughter with friends. Snapshots of best times.
