About this property
Private Falls-Hiking-View-King beds-Sauna-Pub-Chefs Kitchen-In Town & Private!
Set on 6 lush acres w waterfall pool, a small creek, and in a gated, safe, quiet neighborhood (with quiet hours enforced).. Alpenglow Falls was created to set a new standard for mountain luxury - View, water, fire, hike in/out, all en-suite bathrooms, king beds, open spaces, the sounds & smells of the 6 private acres of forest surrounding you and, unbelievably, just 1.2 miles to Buck's coffee from the neighborhood. Its privacy and location offer the best of natural surroundings while being close to groceries, restaurants and shopping!
The home was designed to face EXACTLY 291 degrees southwest to focus on the gorgeous view of famous Whiteside Mountain, where you see the perfect sunrise & sunset colors beaming back at you from its peak while you settle into any number of spaces created to engulf you in fresh mountain air, sights, & the sounds of natural water flowing everywhere..
The mountain smiles back at you as your own smile invariably takes you from the stresses of travel to the ahhhhhhhh of a real vacation where nothing is left to chance except where you'll have that first sip of wine, or where you'll watch the amazing sunrise off the mountain as you sip a frothy latte from the gourmet kitchen.
As you arrive, a huge cathedral ceiling opens your senses to the feel of a mountain spa as you're met with open spaces & king-sized relaxation suites in every direction. The view will draw you to it, and onto the massive cathedral porch, where the sights and sounds of flowing, boulder-rich water takes you to a magical world where nature meets nurture.... Welcome to Alpenglow Falls, we're glad you found us!
This 6000+ square foot luxury home boasts three levels full of consistency, yet waiting with pleasant surprises at every turn. From the 3-person infrared sauna & huge indoor/outdoor shower in the spa-themed primary suite, to the sexy subterranean vintage parlor & underground speakeasy, & all the way up to the third level mountain man-cave, there's something for everyone. You can hike from the property into a nearly private trail system to discover the headwaters of the whitewater river, or simply relax on the huge porches, listen to the chorus of the onsite waterfall pool (unheated) or saunter down to the star-gazing fire pit & roast some marshmallows. Meant for R&R in every season, this is nature's spa....
The John Muir Suite, complete with an actual tree harvested on site, is your gateway to another time and space, while the Magic Forest suite engulfs you in wonder and fantasy. The lower level Grotto Suite, with it's private entrance & secret passage to the parlor & underground speakeasy, is like a luxurious cave custom carved for those seeking privacy in a natural environment. The young, and young at heart, will certainly squabble over who gets to stay and play in the mountain man-cave, complete with ping pong, video games, movies, poker, and all the space that 2-4 fun-seeking folks could need.
Every bedroom has its own full bath, plus there's a bonus living room, kitchenette & coffee areas for everyone to have their own schedules & sundries.
For everyone, the main open living, dining, & gourmet kitchen offer large spaces to gather everyone along with professional cooking for the whole clan. Thanks to sliding glass panels, you'll savor the results of intentional design that allow the outdoors in. The expansive screened porches invite the sounds of water & touch of breezes inside, while keeping any unwanted guests out. You no longer have to imagine what it feels like to live with nature as it engulfs your every sense. The hottest summer day is cool and perfect on the cathedral porch, while the coldest winter night allows you to bask under the whisper quiet heaters or enjoy a roaring fire inside and out, so there's no such thing as imperfect weather.
This is Alpenglow living, purpose built as the immaculate escape to the mountains.. Take it Easy, and Play Hard!
Additional services available include:
On-site massage by the best therapists in Western NC!

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Tim Gallaway

After creating & hosting several very successful mountain and lake properties for years, we decided to sell them all and build our dream vacation property, so we're beyond excited to have made this vision a reality and now share it with you!
Why they chose this property
Because it checked every box for us! Views, IN TOWN, yet completely private with acreage, water & the ability to hike in and hike out onto essentially private trails that we are helping to grow and maintain.
What makes this property unique
Having the gorgeous views, boulders & waterfalls right at your fingertips, and the intentional design that engulfs guests in everything they come to the mountains for! The sounds of waterfalls, the gorgeous sunrise and sunset views, and the fact that nature has been designed in at every turn. It's also far above what has become the typical rentals with cheap furniture, overstuffed spaces, and cheap hosts who give you two dishwasher pods and single ply TP... We take care of everything and spared no expense to create a high-quality experience for discerning guests.
