About this property

Waters Fall - private, stunning setting in gated Hound Ears. Close to BR & Boone

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. Water cascades down the property and runs under the spacious deck and cantilevered screened porch before falling another 20' on the rocks below. Relax with family, friends or just on your own in your private grotto.

The charming home features modern amenities while maintaining the coziness of an authentic, mountain A-frame. Enjoy High-speed internet and convenient charging ports throughout the house. A great room with massive wood burning stone fireplace (wood supplied) and comfy sitting area, along with a 55” smart TV with the most popular apps including YouTube TV, Netflix and Amazon Video. An HDMI cable connects to your computer for direct streaming. The updated kitchen includes a double convection oven, quiet dishwasher, garbage disposal, microwave, and Amazon Alexa voice assistant. Each floor includes a Master bedroom with full bath. The upstairs bath includes a whirlpool tub and separate standup shower along with a full-sized washer and dryer. Climb the spiral stairs to the Eagle's Nest loft -- a perfect, private space for a tree-house-like escape.

Outside, enjoy the spacious deck and soak in the beautiful view. The screened porch includes a dining table for 8 and comfy seating for a good read or that afternoon nap. You’re only a few minutes to Blowing Rock and the Blue Ridge Parkway, Valle Crucis or Boone… and just a short drive to Banner Elk, Grandfather Mountain, and all the local ski resorts. The home includes convenient, flat parking for two vehicles and it is only one small step from street level to the house entrance -- a mountain house rarity.

The Waters Fall Host Fee provides for Hound Ears 24/7 guarded/gated security, 24/7 emergency response, road clearing & grounds care and maintenance, garbage pickup, firewood, propane for outdoor fire pit, and access to the Hound Ears boulders & picnic area and Hound Ears trails. The home also includes a 24/7 outdoor security camera mounted under the eave of the porch.

Waters Fall is a “special moments” home, perfect for exploring all the area has to offer, or simply enjoying a getaway to the soothing sight and sound of water with the sun shining through the trees.

The owners of this property have considered most every need a traveler might have. We typically hike for miles to reach the view and setting that you have directly from the porches on this property, truly magical. We live in the city where’s it noisy and to be constantly inundated by the sound of the waterfalls was something special. We hope to return to this very comfortable mountain property.

Where do I begin? From the moment my girls and I pulled up, it felt like home. This place is magical. If you are looking for a place to unwind, relax and refresh your mind, look no further. The sound of the rushing creek is unbeatable. The home is beyond comfortable and cozy, fully stocked with everything you could possibly need. We stayed several days and only left once. We didn’t want to leave the day of check out! Lynn is an incredible host, and we truly cannot wait to come back. 10/10!!!

We had a wonderful stay at Waters Fall. We are a family of 4 which includes 2 high schoolers. The house was cozy & we enjoyed spending time together. But there was also space to be apart when we needed that too. Very convenient to pick up groceries in Boone to cook breakfasts & a few dinners at the house. We also enjoyed exploring the unique dining options in town. We’ve been to many different rentals in Asheville, Blowing Rock, Boone areas & this one really stands out as our favorite ever. The neighborhood trails are excellent if you don’t want to commit to a huge day out & away from the property. The house itself is both vintage & updated in all the right places. The beds were comfy & it was equipped with every thing we needed - & then some. We especially enjoyed the deck & waterfall. The WiFi worked when you’re needed to connect, & the streaming tvs were perfect. Communication with the host was great, & coming & going from the gated neighborhood was easy - & we felt very welcomed by the guards & neighbors alike. We absolutely did not want to leave.

Watersfall was an incredible house to spend App State Graduation with my 2 daughters and sister. It was such a quaint cabin and the creek and waterfall was amazing especially at night. The host Lynn was excellent - always replied to my messages in a timely manner and even sent me a personal text to make sure we had arrived safely and to let us know about the lights around the creek and how beautiful it is at night. We took several pictures on the deck for my daughter's graduation as it was a beautiful background. The check-in and out process was stress free. The only thing I would say is to let the security guards at the gate to give guests the key to the house. They gave us the key so we wouldn't have to drive back down the mountain since we had arrived as it was getting dark. It was not an issue at all. The screened in porch on the deck was also a great bonus. Unfortunately it was too chilly at night to utilize it more. I loved the rocking chair and the chairs around the fire pit during the day were used. Thank you again for being a great host and sharing your cabin with us. AnneMarie

We loved our short trip to Waters Fall! Home has everything we needed for our family of 4. We were lucky enough to get fresh snow and see the beauty of the waterfall with icicles. Location is great— only 30 minutes to beech mountain which has an awesome sledding hill and playground for our young kids. We spent time by the fire each night and enjoyed the sound of the flowing waters. Our kids did not want to leave. Great views for a morning yoga practice. We left a yoga mat for other guests to use. If you’re looking for a magical home in a peaceful beautiful setting, this is the place.

This place is the bomb! Super cool creekside cabin. It is well furnished, as well as being well stocked. Easy to get to, and only a short drive to Boone. If that weren’t enough, the hostess is fantastic! We had no problems, but I felt if one arose, it would be handled promptly. Scattered neighbors close by genuinely seemed friendly and accommodating. Security was 1st class down by the entrance. I can’t say enough positive things about this home. I plan to stay there again soon.

Took us just minutes to get to the Blueridge Parkway & all its stunning mountain views and downtown Boone which is a visitor’s paradise.

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 and family. Snapshots of best times.

I am not a rental professional or part of a corporation. This is my family home and I feel blessed to share it with others and hear their stories. Hopefully your story, too.
