Hot Tub A/C Smart TV WIFI Pet Friendly - Brett's Falling Waters Cabin

Listen to the sounds of the cascading waterfall while sitting on the deck of our rustic, cheerful little cabin. Enjoy a soothing soak in our four-person hot tub after a day of adventure in the village of Black Mountain (8 miles), downtown Asheville (8.1 miles), the Biltmore Estate (12.7 miles) or hiking the Blue Ridge Parkway (8 miles).

**Please select the Pet Checkbox when booking if your pet(s) will be accompanying you on your visit to Brett's Falling Waters Cabin.**

Brett's Falling Waters Cabin is ideal for singles, couples or small families who want to enjoy semi-rustic comfort in a mountain setting not too far from hiking trails, scenic drives, restaurants and the amenities of Black Mountain and downtown Asheville. Two bedrooms with Queen size beds and one bathroom with shower, our cabin can accommodate up to 4 guests (including children) and 2 pets. Nest controlled central air conditioning/heating and a cozy gas log firebox lends ambiance and warmth to the Living Room with Smart TV and free WIFI. Enjoy the eat-in kitchen with gas stove, microwave, dishwasher and full-size refrigerator, clothes washer and dryer. The driveway is gravel, level, and accessible by any vehicle. 4-wheel drive is not needed.

Answers to Frequent Questions: Cabin cleaning includes a sanitizing scrub out and fresh spring water refill of the hot tub between each guest as per NC Health Department requirements. The hot tub is located on the gated front porch.

Brett's Falling Waters Cabin sustained little damage due to Hurricane Helene. A new roof has been installed, the driveway and the waterfall rebuilt (an ongoing project). We have approval from Buncombe County Environmental Health to recommence rentals.

While Swannanoa downtown recovers from Hurricane Helene, the nearest grocery store is Ingles Market in Black Mountain, 8 miles from the cabin. It has a full-service pharmacy, extended shopping hours, self-checkout, and accepts major credit cards.

Black Mountain has many wonderful restaurants; we can personally recommend the Black Mountain Bistro, Trailhead Restaurant and Bar, Que Sera, Pure and Proper and the Dripolator Coffeehouse. Also recommended is Veranda, Berliner Kindl, Fresh Wood Fired Pizza and the Bush Farmhouse.

Brett’s falling waters cabin

Peaceful serene, alpha waves from the nearby ford waterfalls over the access road was quite pleasant from the side wooden porch. Saw Black bears 4 out of 6 days we stayed. Jacuzzi on the side porch made for many nice times and a great vacation.

Nice get-away

While the waterfall is right outside the front door, you can't hear it at night unless you open a window... hence you can sleep with or without it. For dog lovers, I have two beagles, there was a zigzag walking path up the mountains. The house is well kept. One of the owners came by to check on everything. Great guy. A good location if you don't want to be bothered or need to be away from town and city, both only minutes away and easily accessible. We will be back.

Cute cabin

Conveniently located to both Asheville and Black Mtn-Blueridge Parkway this is a cozy 2 br cabin. It has everything you would need for a comfortable stay. The only reason i didn give 5 stars is b/c the hot tub took basically a day and a half to get up to temperature.

Weekend at Brett’s cabin

We had a wonderful weekend getaway and the cabin was perfect! Spotless, comfortable furniture, completely stocked kitchen, very nice appliances and new propane grill. The small considerations added up to a very comfortable stay. From a plastic covered dog bed with puppy linens to an adjustable bed frame, they thought of it all! Hurricane Helene removed so many of the trees that the neighbors are visible so not real secluded but the proximity to black mountain and Asheville was great. Highly recommend staying here. The hosts were great!

Great Spot

Needed a place to stay for Parents' Weekend at Warren Wilson. Local hotels were charging an exorbitant price. Luckily found this property as close to WWC as any of the hotels and much nicer — beautiful surroundings, hot tub, and a fire pit. Perfect. Would stay again.

Absolutely wonderful little mountain cabin, close to Asheville

This is a darling place. It’s a bit tight for more than two , but it’s so well set up, that the three of us barely noticed! Super convenient and absolutely wonderful little deck overlooking a private waterfall. We had a fantastic time and will be back!

Secluded retreat!

Our family and our family dog very much enjoy staying at Brett Fallingwater. Our dog loved the waterfall and we did as well. Our tub was a great place to soak those sore knees after long days of hiking and sightseeing. Everything we needed was included, and we enjoyed the Ingles discount card as well!

Disliked: Communication, location

If you are looking for a private location with hospitable hosts, you’d probably be better served looking elsewhere. We arrived to the location and rather than your typical “welcome” message, we were sent a message that they had come to “check the mail” and noticed that the additional cover of the hot tub had been lifted up on one corner and could we please close it. Sure no problem. We had just checked to make sure it was on so we could use it in a few hours. The next morning we woke up to a lot of yelling and realized there was a shirtless man, clearly on drugs, in the front yard. Also to note, the waterfall is nice but it is part of the driveway and the road is quite busy which isn’t great for the front porch privacy which we had hoped to have. So between the traffic and yelling individual, there’s not a feeling of much isolation. Things definitely got worse from here. We went out to grab food and shop and while gone we received a rather rude message from the host that we had our belongings in the house and were late on our check out. We had booked two nights and it had only been one. We kindly asked her to recheck her calendar and re-read the confirmation that she sent us to acknowledge that we really did have reservations and we were within our date range. Of course she provided an apology but honestly the message was so rude and we already felt watched and unwelcome so it didn’t go very far to help smooth things over. We won’t go back.
