Falcons Nest- Dog Friendly, Steps Down to River, Fisherman's Paradise
Reasons to Book: 1,000 feet of private frontage along beautiful Fightingtown Creek Elevated decks for alfresco dining with sights and sounds of the river below Steps leading directly to the water for creekside exploring Hot tub and fire pit surrounded by the peaceful wooded setting Convenient to McCaysville and downtown Blue Ridge
Some places have a water view. At Falcon's Nest, the river becomes part of the rhythm of your stay.
Perched above the flowing waters of Fightingtown Creek, Falcon's Nest is a beautifully remodeled mountain retreat where the soothing sound of the river follows you from morning to night. Surrounded by trees and elevated above the water, the home feels wonderfully connected to nature, creating a peaceful setting made for slowing down.
Mornings are especially beautiful here. Step onto the deck with coffee and listen as the river moves below, or settle in for a leisurely breakfast surrounded by the sounds of the forest. Later, set the table outside for an alfresco dinner overlooking the water. With the river in sight and its gentle sound filling the background, even an ordinary meal feels like part of the getaway.
A series of steps leads from the home down to the water's edge, where you can explore the shoreline, cast a line, or simply find a quiet place to sit beside the creek. With an incredible 1,000 feet of private waterfront, there is plenty of room to experience Fightingtown Creek at your own pace.
Inside, Falcon's Nest pairs warm mountain character with refreshed, comfortable interiors. Expansive windows keep the wooded surroundings and river close, while inviting gathering spaces make it easy to reconnect after a day exploring Blue Ridge and McCaysville.
As evening settles in, slip into the hot tub and listen to the water below, or gather around the fire pit as the forest grows quiet around you. There is no need for much of an itinerary here. The setting provides its own kind of entertainment.
Just over ten miles from downtown Blue Ridge, Falcon's Nest feels tucked away while keeping restaurants, shopping, and North Georgia adventures within easy reach. Whether you're sharing dinner above the river, wandering down to the water, or falling asleep to its steady sound, Falcon's Nest offers a mountain experience that feels naturally soothing from the moment you arrive.

Thank you so much for choosing to stay with us for the New Year holiday and for taking the time to share this review! We are happy to hear that you found the home clean and beautiful. We do hope you come back and stay with us again soon!
Cabin was very nice. Would not reccomend for small children do to low handrails and outside steps having no mid rail.very dark at night from drivway to door. No window coverings in Bedrooms that have connecting decks. Other than that, very nice stay.
The property was as described. The view of Fightingtown Creek has to be seen in person to be appreciated. Its constant sound lulled us to sleep each night.
The carpets on the main floor need to be replaced. One is ripped through; the other a tripping hazard. Also the outside grill needs to be thoroughly cleaned or replaced.
We absolutely loved Falcons Nest! The location was perfect, the home is beautiful, and it is so convenient to so many great shops and restaurants along with all the hiking, fishing, kayaking outdoor adventures your heart could desire. There were a few minor issues with the house (the dishwasher doesn't work, some of the jets on the hot tub don't work, latches on hot tub are broken, some soft spots in the multilevel decks), but I would go back again any time! Escape to Blue Ridge (the property management group) was wonderful and helped in every way they could to make sure our stay was pleasant. Campbell and Lexie specifically were angels! If they address the few issues this home will be 100% amazing!

We also appreciate your feedback and want you to know that since your visit, the dishwasher has been replaced and the hot tub has been serviced and is back up and running. We hope to host you again soon on your next visit to this area!
We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin! Location was great and secluded. You do need AWD/4WD to access cabin from gravel road. Be aware the wifi is great but we did not have Verizon service in the cabin so we could not make phone calls unless we were on the edge of the top deck. Being on the river was lovely and fun to get in with the attached raft for safety. There are a lot of stairs inside and outside the cabin so be aware for elderly family members. All the decks were great and the location is nice a quiet away from neighbors. Kitchen had all the cooking utensils/pots/pans we needed. Only things we had concerns of were the microwave door gets jammed and is difficult to open, only 1 bedroom had curtains and we like our privacy even when there are no neighbors across the river, and lastly the bottom level shared bathroom had no place to hang any towels/hand towels/no counter space. It was just small things that we had concerns with but the property manager was easy to contact and quick to help. We would stay here again in the future!
