Great memories should be shared! Steve and Joy Powell believe that children are the future and nothing is more important than giving children a solid foundation and making memories that last a lifetime. It is their vision to give others a beautiful relaxed setting to make memories with those they care about.

Guest will be in close proximity to skiing, golfing, rafting, tubing, zip-lines, National Forest, orchards, horseback riding, The Biltmore Estate, Western NC Nature Center, Dollywood, Gray Fossil Museum, Christmas tree farms, natural hot springs, gem mining as well as every luxury a city offers; shopping, dining, theaters. The lodges are well planned to allow privacy and safety. There is plenty of driveway parking and there are no steep drops or stilts like most mountain cabins.

What makes this Lodge unique

The owners, Steve and Joy Powell, live on Memory Mountain and offer tours of their farm to interested guest, however appointments must be made in advance. Their farm features rabbits, range chickens, pheasants, quail, egg gathering, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, apple/peach/pear trees. Their Antique Museum has the largest arrowhead collection in the Southeast. You may view depression glass, farm equipment and neat historical mountain finds. Arrowhead hunts may also be coordinated with your scheduled visit. The lodges feature many unique charms such as wormy chestnut logs and wood, arrowheads found on the grounds, nooks for children to explore, private outdoor fire pits and plenty of gathering space indoors and out. A great deal of time has been spent collecting local reclaimed wood to build Memory Mountains' cabins and it shows.

Beautiful cabin nestled on the side of Memory Mountain

This is our third summer coming back to this beautiful home. Steve and Joy are the best and are so kind. They checked in with us through out our stay to make sure we had all we needed. The house is clean and spacious. The pond is stocked with fish! The kids had a blast fishing, swimming in the pond, and sitting by the campfire. Truly a place to disconnect and spend time with family and friends. We love it here! It truly is our home away from home.

Amazing and beautiful property, surpassed only by the hospitality of the owners

This is a MUST stay property. Quick drive to Asheville, but there’s really no reason to leave the beauty and tranquility of this mountain. What a bonus to meet Lobo the white wolf.

Our stay at the Waterfall Lodge of Memory Mountain began simply as a lodge in the western mountains of North Carolina, in close proximity to Mars Hill University, that enabled all family members to stay at one location and attend our daughter's graduation. The lodge was ideal for this purpose, and one will not find a lodge that can accommodate over one dozen adults, provide more than enough living space for moments of privacy, and better accommodations for sleeping, eating, and bathing. The fishing was awesome, there are trails to run or hike everywhere, the chapel and hitching post are beautiful. You are literally around the corner from the skiing lodge. Mount Mitchell, Linville Falls, Grandfather Mountain, Cherokee, and Boone are all less than two hours away. The owners and managers of the lodges, Steve and Joy Powell, are persons of character, grace, and compassion. We did not want for anything and in rare moments when assistance required, they were immediately available. None of these represent why I will return. I returned because it is a place where He is omnipresent. If you are a person of faith, you will immediately feel his presence. It is literally a place where the Lion (wolf/Lobo) lies next to the Lamb (children). If you are not a person of faith, the spirituality, serenity, and tranquility will fill every void. If you are looking for a place to reconnect, a place to restore your hope, a place to strengthen your love for mankind and one another, or a place to strengthen your faith in Him, this is where you need to be. There will seem to be hundreds of places you can go like this one. I can assure you there are not. In a world where so many thing seem to be moving in the wrong direction, this is a place where everything moves in harmony. Make time for Peace and come home to Memory Mountain.

Beautiful!

There were 14 of us and everyone had their accommodation! The house is beautifully laid out and we were able to eat and play games together with no problem. The Hot Tub was a hit with the kids, ages 6 to 16. The skiing was great and we had a couple of days when it snowed! The kids loved that because we're from Texas and we rarely get snow! The owners were very helpful in providing directions. Lobo the "Wolf" was a great surprise to all of us! He loved our kids and would show up and let us pet him, he was so gentle! WE LOVED OUR STAY!

Perfect. Just as advertised.

Waterfall Lodge is beautiful. It was clean & well maintained. The Powell Family made us feel like family. We wanted for nothing and had the best Christmas ever.

Owner's Response:

Thank so much for your review and another Memory Mountain 5 star rating. We love the 5 star rating and work hard for them. For future renters I want you to know that we treat people like family. I also want you to know that Memory Mountain is 200 acres, 5 large cabin/lodges that sleep large mutilple families from 12 to 18 people. We also have things that go wrong like light bulbs, burn out we do have issues. You need more blankets, and various other things. You don't see these things on our reviews because we respond to your concerns or issues. Our guest leave us list of thing like a bulb burn out on the stove, need more firewood. They give us helpful suggestions and we get better. We truly appreciate our gust and try to out give them. Me and my wife do all cleaning and we live on property. Steve powell/owner builder
