Gorgeous Waterfront Mountain Retreat with Firepit and Waterfall

This breathtaking +/- 3,700 square foot mountain home is located at +/- 3600 feet of cool elevation. The home is overlooking one of the most amazing sliding rock waterfalls which provides you with a gentle and soothing white noise to relax and sleep by. Be sure to check out our video. The property is just minutes from downtown Cashiers and located around the corner from Lake Glenville (which is the highest lake in elevation at 3500 feet) east of the Mississippi. Signal Ridge Marina where you can rent boats is right around the corner. With three floors of private, extended decks overlooking the property's waterfall and pond, a new fire pit, and windows stretching along each floor boasting brilliant natural light, this home is perfect for a family retreat or multiple couple getaway.

The home is situated in a quiet and secluded location enabling you to escape into a peaceful and tranquil setting and has been decorated to comfortably host with a two-car garage that may utilized by its guests. There are two separate family rooms on different floors with a 65-inch smart TV on the main level, and a 70-inch smart TV on the lower-level. The main family room is off the dining room and kitchen. Sliding glass doors open to a large upper deck with plenty of outdoor seating and a large Weber propane grill. The fireplace in the main family room is propane and remote controlled allowing you to enjoy the fire while staying cozy indoors.

The lower-level family room is a wonderful space that is perfect to occupy the kids or for others to gather without the upstairs rooms hearing the noise. There are games, books, a nugget couch for the kids and a play pen if needed. There are also sliding glass doors on the lower-level leading out to a mid-level deck with plenty of outdoor seating.

The house has three bedrooms and three baths, and up to 8 guests can sleep comfortably in the beds. The primary suite on the uppermost level, accessed with an eye-catching wooden spiral staircase, features king bed and an incredible 180-degree view, a primary bath with both a tub shower combination and another stand-alone shower. The main level has a bedroom with a queen bed and a bathroom with a shower tub combination. The lower-level has a third bedroom with both a king size bed, set of twin bunkbeds, and a bathroom with a shower.

Enjoy a freshly brewed coffee to start your mornings out on one of the three decks overlooking the water, roast marshmallows down at the stone fire pit with the family, or lounge down near the waterfall in the Adirondack chairs and listen to the waterfall and rushing Cedar Creek. Each of the three levels of decking feature outdoor furniture and seating with a hammock on the lowest level to fall asleep away from everyone else. Explore dozens of hiking trails and natural waterfalls nearby or stay put indoors with WiFi, games, and smart TVs.
During your stay at this vacation home, you're just a quick walk from Nantahala National Forest. You'll find features like an arcade/game room. Enjoy your stay with amenities like free WiFi and a kitchen in the vacation home.

Weekend Away
We stayed here for our second annual family trip. It was a wonderful trip and the location could not be better. The creek, waterfall and wading pool under the falls were beautiful. We enjoyed the fire pit and it was very nice to be so close to Cashiers. We hope to be back next year and want to rebook this house!

Soothing waterfall
My husband has really bad tinnitus from his time in the Navy. The only thing that helps it is the sound of running water. The sound from the waterfall was immensely helpful and soothing for him. House lovely, quiet and close to a beautiful lake. We had a great time!

Loved it
My family had a fantastic time. House is stocked with all the amenities you should need. Plenty of room. The fire pit and the waterfall with the pond is such a great feature to have. Boating rentals on Lake Glenville is just a couple of miles down the road, along with the surrounding areas to go site seeing. It was well worth it, and I will be coming back. Mary and David are spot on with responses to any questions you may have. Thank you again.

A Winner!
The location, layout, and look of this home was perfect for me and my siblings. The house has 3 bedroom areas that gave us a bit of space but also allowed us to easily come together. We woke to sounds of the waterfall, enjoyed time at the firepit and views from the porches. Definitely recommend renting a pontoon boat from Signal Ridge Marina (4 minute drive).

This property is absolutely unique and top-notch in every way. Mary is a super host, from the communication and the detailed touches upon your arrival to following through with you with any questions until your exit. Our family loved this property and the waterfall that you can listen to the entire time you are there was mesmerizing. We would love to return to this rental. Thank you for making this available to the public Mary.

This house is absolutely amazing! We only left the property once to buy some food that we forgot to bring. The decks are so relaxing and the noise of the water is so soothing. We brought tubes and had fun going down the rocks. The dogs had fun swimming in the water as well. The owner was quick to get back to us. Best rental house we have rented!

Beautiful home plus Waterfalls for kids!
My husband, son, and grandsons stayed for a week! Even though we had rain for a few days, the kids wanted to slide down the falls into the pond and swim! Safe falls for an 8 and 13 year old. Be sure to bring your own tubes, that is what we did. Home was very well appointed and extremely clean. Owner was very responsive for the couple times I had questions. Mary was fantastic! My family said it was the best vacation we have ever had. Would stay again.

Weekend family getaway
The house was perfect for our family of seven including teens and grandparents. The location was great with easy access to Cashiers and the lake. We enjoyed the waterfall and fire pit and mainly spent time on the deck of the kitchen. It’s even more beautiful in person than in the photos. Everything was as described regarding the house. Would love to go again next summer.

Gorgeous Setting!
This home and the surrounding property are absolutely amazing! The home is super clean and very well stocked. The owners are so welcoming and have really done a quality job with this rental. I have never stayed in a rental where the outside decks/fire pit area were so clean and comfortable. I highly recommend!

Spring break 2023
I Took my children ages 10 and 12 with my mother here for spring break Sunday, March 12th-Saturday, March 18th. We also included my brother and his wife and children ages 9 and 12 as well they stayed (Sunday-Thursday). Everyone loved the place, it had plenty of space for everyone and then some. The house was ready as soon as we got there and was in picture perfect condition. Everything we wanted to do was within 15 minutes to about a hour and half away that being ashville. There are many waterfalls around the area. we went to probably about 15 while we stayed the 6 days. We could have probably went to more easily, but we wanted a lazy day to just enjoy the house and the waterfall that this gorgeous house has to offer and the kids did not argue at all to the idea. The host has many brochures about things to do around the area as well if needed. The house is also amazingly stocked with everything you can need for cookware like plates, glasses and wine glasses. They even went out of there way at the beginning of the trip and a bottle of wine was left, that my mother and my brothers wife enjoyed. All in all, I AM very pleased with everything. from the service that was provided. like the extremely fast response time when responding back to a message, to the overwhelming comfort and warmth of a home that makes you feel like home when you are away from home. Thank you for making my families spring break vacation of 2023 very memorable it is very much appreciated. Sincerely, M Carlan.

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL
This house was just beautiful, inside and out. The roaring creek was the most incredible Mother Nature has to offer. We couldn't stay out of the creek even though it was November. Decks on the house were just begging for sitting and relaxing. We really meant to leave the house more but just couldn't. I asked a few questions about the house and got an answer before my fingers left my keyboard.

Tranquil waterfall
The house is set back in the woods, not far off the road, down a steep hill. Perfect spot to get away from it all and just relax off the grid. The house was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to make lunch or dinner. The bedrooms were all nice and the beds very comfortable. The three decks were furnished with all the necessities you would expect. Loved sitting outside and listening to the sound of the waterfall, very mesmerizing. The main deck has a gate so our dogs could be outside with us and we didn’t have to worry about them getting out. Highly recommend this property. We didn’t have a problem with this but there are a lot of stairs, inside and out. I can see where this may cause some problems for a few. Great location, not far from towns or waterfalls and trails.

My family and I had a wonderful stay at this charming and unique mountain home. The waterfall is so pretty & relaxing; we had a hard time leaving the property to explore!

Beds were cozy, house was very clean and the house is well stocked with supplies and little thoughtful things we all appreciated.
