About this property

Beautiful Three B/R three full bath Home on 1,800 Ft. of Waterfalls

I try to respond to all inquiries within one hour. Also, feel comfortable calling....I almost always answer!

Please come and enjoy this lovely rental home on your next vacation. For more info and pics, please go to wncfallingwater. The rental house sits in six secluded forested acres in the mountains of Western, NC, with a bold stream and continuous waterfall cascading down the entire length of the property. The rental home, itself, is 2,900 sq. ft., a three bed room, three bath work of art, with all rooms oriented toward the waterfalls. The vacation home is designed by an architect and artist, with magnificent architectural detail. Garden tubs, sumptuous linens, and gracious space are waiting for your relaxation. Sit in any room on your vacation, surrounded by original art and antiques, and look at the waterfall, the mountains, and the spectacular Pisgah National Forest.

At this vacation retreat, mountain wildlife abounds, bird watching is perfect, rhododendrons grow wild all over the property, and you can enjoy dangling your toes in the babbling waterfall. Maybe even snag a mountain trout for dinner! There are many areas along the waterfalls and up the mountain from the rental home that are secluded enough for clothing to be optional.

The immediate area around the vacation home is replete with artists, artists' studios, and many art festivals throughout the year. The Rhododendron Festival, the Artists' Studio Tour, the Gem and Mineral Festival, and the Blacksmith Festival are only a few. The local artists love to have visitors in their studios. There's even my own artist's studio and gallery on site, private to you alone, where you can shop or play in the studio.

Within walking distance of the vacation rental, there is white water rafting, mountain hiking trails on the Appalachian Trail, and the second tallest mountain east of the Mississippi, Roan Mountain, along with many other vacation activities to accommodate your interests and fancy. This county, Mitchell, has 49 of the fifty tallest mountains east of the MIssissippi.

I am here to make your vacation in this rental home the best vacation you've ever had. Your wish is my command. Please take the time to look at the house and the waterfall. You will enjoy the uniqueness and splendor of this vacation retreat in the mountains of Western North Carolina.

Thank you.
Yvonne, your hostess with the mostess.

THIS PLACE IS GREAT!
My family and I spent a couple of weeks at Falling Water. The first thing that hits you when you pull into the drive is how secluded and private it feels, even though you've just pulled off a state highway. The second thing that hits you is the sound of the water, rushing down the mountain, right below the driveway. And, everything's green....trees all over the place....think the owner calls it "an enchanted forest". She's right. The third thing that hits you is when you walk into the home and see how big the rooms are....the living room must be forty or fifty feet long. Because all the rooms are so large, the whole family can be in the kitchen without bumping into each other. Then, you discover that the place is so well-insulated, it's very easy to find private moments in each of the bedrooms, even though the rest of the family is watching TV in the living room. I'm an architect, and I envy the mind that created this home. It's so well-designed, with each of the bedrooms a great distance from each other. As a family spending time together, you can also get the privacy you need, or, you can be in any of the rooms as a group and still have space! It is an excellent home! My wife was always commenting on how clean everything was and how well-appointed the kitchen was. My kids loved the big tubs, with plenty of hot water. So, we all had a great time. And, there's a lot of things to do in the area. If you want to stay close to the home, you can just walk up into the woods or wander in the stream. If you want to get in the car, everything in the way of outdoor activities is close and there for you to enjoy. Some really good restaurants, too.

Christmas in the Mountains
Christmas at Falling Water....what can I say? The home was immaculate and beautiful. And, waking up to snow one morning in this pristine place was incredible! Even with the snow, we weren't housebound, as the roads were kept so clear, and the driveway is level out to the road. Everything on VRBO about this place is true, and then some. The owner even provided us with a tree stand, lights and ornaments, AND told us where to go to get a really inexpensive tree. It was a great family outing, at a tree farm, where we were able to choose our own tree. Every little need was already met, without our having to ask. There's even a little step in the kids bath, so my son could reach the sink by himself. We were real happy staying at Falling Water, and would highly recommend it to anyone....we'll be back!

Thanksgivinig at Falling Water
This home is incredible and we had a fantastic time....my entire family meeting for Thanksgiving. It was so private and natural with the woods and the waterfall, and the home was beautiful and spotless with lots of art and interesting furnishings. Plenty of room for everyone to have private moments in and out of the house. We've stayed at rental homes that give you a couple of plates, a few mis-matched drinking glasses, and two pots. This rental was set up like a chef's kitchen, and we could all be in the kitchen at the same time making our individual contributions to the meals. There was even a roasting pan for the turkey! All of us were so impressed with the home and its surroundings, and it made for a very happy time for everyone...no complaints. Just happiness, like it's supposed to be. Falling Water may be our only got-to vacation spot in the future.

We Highly Recommend This Place!
Our family stayed for a month at Falling Water, and we all feel that it was the most enjoyable vacation we've ever had. The home was better, if possible, than its portrayal on the site. My wife and I got a lot of decorating ideas that we're going to try ourselves....esp. that rock wall!! The area is beautiful. The pace of life is so soothing and comfortable, and everyone was as friendly as can be. The fall colors were as good as we get in NY. Yvonne surely is the "hostess with the mostess". She was available as needed, with helpful directions and recommendations, and left us to our privacy the rest of the time. If you would like to vacation at this home and area, you can't go wrong. It was just a wonderful experience. Thanks!

We're all packed up and don' want to leave.
Bob and I have packed everything up into the car and will be leaving in the morning. We've had such an enjoyable time and would love to stay forever. We've had the best nights sleeping here and the best weather anyone could ask for. Everyday the sky was Carolina blue. It got warm in the daytime but the house stayed cool without air-conditioning. We didn't even turn on the ceiling fans. We went to a lot of art galleries and studios. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. We found several really good restaurants. My favorite was one on the golf course at Mt. Mitchell. The beds felt like they were new, with that extra padding on the mattresses. And the quilts and bed linens were wonderful. The kitchen was fully equipped and we had fun making meals some of the time. All the rooms had cable TV. Big selection of music too. Even classical and opera, my favorites. Candles came in handy. The big tubs with plenty of hot hot water. The waterfalls and the sounds....lulled us to sleep every night. No other noises except the birds. We don't want to leave but will surely be back!

About the host

Host profile image
I am a successful artist, and moved into the mountains from the coast about 22 years ago. Mitchell County is the most beautiful area I've seen in the entire world. The natural beauty really encourages creativity. Maybe we've already met, as I spent 30 years traveling around the country, exhibiting at some of the major art shows....Coconut Grove, Cherry Creek, Sausalito, Long's Park, etc. Fun to be traveling and fun to stay at home! What an incredible life!

I had a previous career as a set decorator in the movie business, which was just fantastic. Was able to meet so many movie stars, including John Wayne and, yes, Arnold,and so many creative and talented people.

My former husband and I created Falling Water. It has an interesting history. Now, I'm happy to share this beautiful home, created in love, with others. There's a functioning artist's studio on the premises.... near the main house, and I would love to have you come and play with me, creating some magic of your own!

I'll make every effort possible to guarantee that your stay at Falling Water will be one of the best and most satisfying vacations you've ever had. I'm also a frustrated architect, and honor Frank LLoyd Wright in the name and design of Falling Water.

I thank you very much for considering becoming a guest.

Yvonne

Why they chose this property

Every one of my guests who has stayed at Falling Water has been delighted, and most claim that the photos don't do the home justice. I am most happy to be your personal concierge, and am able to guide you to the most wonderful vacation you've ever had!

What makes this property unique

There's total privacy with easy convenvenience. The home is located right off a very well-maintained hard top road, so four-wheel drive is not necessary. Guests feel that Falling Water is a 'home' rather than a 'rental'. Look out any window, and there are tons of them, you will see a waterfall, the woods, maybe a deer or a wild turkey.
