SUMMERTIME IN THE MOUNTAINS; Check our July/August/September Special Rates... The mountains in the Asheville area are a great place to get away and take a break from the summer heat. WELCOME to our newly constructed mountain home Majestic Falls. On sunny days you will enjoy sitting on the decks, listenening to the quiet and seeing the woods reveal the most spactatular views. The leaves are full on the trees now turning the woods into a watercolor palette of greens.

This beautiful split-level house is located in "Gateway Mountain", a 2900 acre nature preserve and gated mountain residential community. Gateway Mountain is on a part of the Hickory Nut mountain range. The house was custom designed by an registered architect (NC and FL), who is also the owner.
Majestic Falls is nestled among and surrounded by a hardwood forest and the views are southerly of near and far mountains and of Lake Lure. Quiet surroundings allow guests to experience the pristine woods and natural setting with deer, rabbits, wild turkeys, and even a bobcat has been spotted on occassion. A beautiful water-fall gurgles near the site and is a steep climb below the house for the avid hikers.

This waterfall is easily accessible leading to a delightful pool to dip one's toes in summertime.
