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. 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.

If you're looking for a relaxing and peaceful place to stay, look no further. The host was great and always responded to messages in a timely manner. We loved the firepit and the waterfall. Add the lights at night and it was the perfect setting to curl up with a book and a glass of wine. We enjoyed it so much we stayed an extra two nights.

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!!!

About the host

Hosted by Lynn Neal

Host profile image
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.
