"FALLS MELODY"
This dramatic custom designed home is situated at above 3000 feet elevation, it overlooks a rushing creek, and a small waterfall, both situated on the property. You can access the creek from the stairs cut into the hillside, or just sit on the terrace above the falls. The large back deck is situated above the road, and gives a panoramic view of the treetops. The firepit is perfect for an evening marshmellow roast. The creek is suitable for wading, and the melody of the rushing water provides for many a relaxing afternoon. There is an area suitable for swimming and sliding less than 2 miles from the house.
The back deck is ideal for outdoor dining, or just relaxing after a busy day. Our guests often comment that while we are a little out of the way, the peace and quiet and serenity at the end of the day is well worth it.
The home is ideally situated. We are 7 miles off of the Smokey Mountain Expressway, which provides easy access to many attractions. Some local attractions include Nantahala Rafting, Zip lining, Deep Creek Tubing, Great Smoky Mountain RR, Great Smokey Mountains National Park, Lake Fontana, Bryson City, Cherokee, Dillsboro, Sylva, Waynesville, and Maggie Valley. Other destinations within 1 to 2 hours drive, including Pigeon Forge, TN, Gatilinburg, TN, and Ashville, NC.

A little off the beaten path...but well worth it! The house was beautiful- a great view of the creek below from the deck. We went to the recommended swimming hole and had a blast. Peaceful and quiet- except for the trucks occasionally going up or down the mountain road. Terrific accommodations!

We enjoyed this home away from home. Had fun listening to & exploring the waterfall. We had a campfire last night. All in all a peaceful, relaxing retreat! A great addition to our mountain experience. Thank you!

The perfect place to get away! The only thing that could possibly have made it better is coming without the kids. The kids loved sliding rock. We all loved Cooper Creek fishing pond. The fish were great on the grill. We are already planning our next trip.

Had a wonderful time. Sorry to be leaving here. Spent the weekend with 2 daughters, one sister one niece & five granddaughters. We had a good time and the house was more than I dreamed it would be. Thank you for letting us use your house & I hope to come back very soon.

We had a great vacation!! My boys loved the creek where they found enough crawdads for the four of us to have for dinner. Everything was wonderful. The only downfall that we found, was the distance from town, which we eventually got used to. Thanks again.

Our first visit to this area, definitely not our last! we have felt at home here since we walked jn, & wish we'd planned to stay for more than a week. We came for a relaxing stay & found the perfect place. We've all gotten in a lot of reading & some games, as well as a few day trips and movies at night. Thank you for providing such wonderful accommodations in a beautiful setting. We'll be back.
