Falling Water Cottage

Falling Water is the name of this very special place in the forest that is beside a babbling brook.

Imagine driving down a country lane to a cottage nestled in the woodland. The barn red cottage and white porch rails beckon you to come sit. This cottage is on 2 acres with a babbling brook and water falling over the rocks making small waterfalls as it flows past the wrap around porch. We also have a park style grill for outdoor grilling over wood or charcoal.

There are views from every window of this wonderful cottage.
For guests with pets, we have a fenced area.

Cheery cherry cabinets in the full kitchen, a dining table with a view of the woodland outside and the falling water. The living room has gas logs to keep you toasty on brisk nights. A master bedroom that opens to the wrap around deck overlooking the waterfalls and brook.........
In the summer you'll relish the chance to breathe fresh, cool mountain air as people have for generations.

For those who prefer to relax inside we have a new 1080p HDTV with cable TV in the living room with Bluray/DVD player and HDTVs with cable in both bedrooms.

2 bedrooms. Full laundry, full kitchen.

The cascading stream and waterfall view make this cottage the perfect retreat.
The cottage overlooks a beautiful stream cascading down the mountain. The water cascades down a waterfall across the street, then down the brook over moss covered rocks, creating wonderful sounds of rushing water as it flows behind the cottage. Cable TV will make your stay enjoyable.

We have very NICE accommodations, refreshingly cleanly kept and most of our guests turn into repeat guests! Many have been coming to our cottages for years or several times a year!

The wrap around porch has table and chairs to sit by the railings and watch the water fall....... The perfect spot for a cup of coffee!

The master bedroom has a half glass door that opens onto the covered porch perched above the brook. It's perfect for watching the squirrels play or birds sing.

If your WISH is to FISH, the cottage is located minutes from the Davidson River, Elm Fork, Pisgah National, and DuPont State Forest. All world renowned for the fishing available. The French Broad River has canoe launch access just down the street.

We are near a MAJOR scenic BIKE ROUTE.

This was the most relaxing 3 nights we have ever spent, anywhere, in many years of travel across the US, Europe, and throughout the Caribbean. It ticks off EVERY box including comfort and an amazingly quaint, well designed cabin that is a one-of-a-kind treasure. We'll be back!

Very nice cabin.

The cabin is very homey. Everything was as described in the listing.We loved the decor. We loved the stream and small waterfall right off the deck. The covered hot tub was very nice, we were able to enjoy it even during the rain. We loved the small fenced in area that our dogs could play in and the gated entry also kept them on the porch. We have used VBRO homes many times but this is the first one we will rebook for another stay.

Cool waters

Coolness with trees and small stream on rear deck. Loved the woodwork with the bear paw impressions. My granddaughter and daughter loved sliding rock. This was our 11th visit to Brevard. We love the area. Our other daughters were there with their family close by also. Nice family time. Downside lost key but left fee to cover. Overall nice stay

The brook was nice, but, unfortunately we couldnt hear it because of the neighbors construction. It would have been nice if the owner and the neighbor communicated and we would have rebooked..

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location. The cottage is right next to a stream. During the summer you can sleep with the windows open hearing the sound of the falling water and have breakfast on the wraparound porch. During the winter curl up in the living room with the gas fireplace and warm wood floors.

What makes this property unique

Vaulted ceilings with a unique ceiling you won't see anywhere else. The living room has hand polyeurethaned pine walls and the kitchen has custom real cherry cabinets - no particle board in sight.
