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. An HDMI cable connects to your computer for direct streaming. 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.

Amazing cabin/ setting

Sun, snow and ice - and everything nice

A lovely, clean and well-cared for cabin in a beautiful setting - our little family truly enjoyed being here. We spent the sunshiny days hiking along the Tanawha trail, out to Hebron Falls (a perfect family ‘playground’), and the short but sweet Green Knob loop. All of these were a a quick and lovely 15’ drive from the cabin.The cabin was well-stocked w firewood and we truly enjoyed a blazing fireplace on the colder nights. The deck and gazebo are extraordinary, and the creek flowing underneath provided a constant and pleasant natural soundtrack for the stay, day and night. We spent time all through the cabin, and were comfortable everywhere really. On our last night, it snowed starting in the evening, and we had a blast throwing snowballs and later having smores inside by the crackling fire, cozy again. We’re from Florida, so waking up to a blanket of snow on our last morning was truly magical. It’s a sweet spot, and gave us a memorable trip, and Lynn is kind and communicative as a host. We hope to return another time.

Christmas Break Getaway

We had a wonderful visit. Even though it rained most of the time we were there, it was actually perfect. The host had strong internet for movie nights and supplied multiple age appropriate games. The host was extremely helpful and responsive and even offered activities in the area that we could do and stay dry. We’re already planning our next visit.

Perfect and Unique Alpine Cabin

We were so excited to stumble across this cabin on VRBO, and it did not disappoint! Our family of 5 stayed the week of Christmas and enjoyed such a comfortable and cozy stay. Lynn was wonderful to work with, and her cabin has ALL the comforts of home. The Hound Ears Club community is so nice and well-cared for. We felt so safe in the gated community. Lynn's property is one-of-a-kind! We enjoyed the waterfall creek, gas firepit, wood-burning fire place in the living area, and electric fireplace in the upstairs master. Our teenage daughter loved the loft bedroom! It was the perfect place for a winter vacation, and we hope to visit in other seasons.

Great secluded cabin with waterfall!

Our family loved this cabin and the host was very communicative and helpful. Our daughter sat outside and read her book while listening to the waterfall and we enjoyed the wood burning fireplace on the chilly nights. The loft was adorable and our daughter felt like a princess in a tower. We were even able to go work out in the community gym. Absolutely love this place and will be returning!

Dream Mountain Oasis

Absolutely a dream vacation rental! We were only approximately 25 minutes from excellent restaurants and drove only 45 minutes to do a cool mountain four wheeler ride with our two sons. Personally loved the detached screened porch with the sound of the creek running underneath. Layout was ideal for us as my husband and I prefer separate beds so one of us had the main level and I slept upstairs with my eight year old in the twin bed in the same room. My 13 year old did not want to come down from the cool loft area with a spiral staircase for privacy. We will be scheduling another visit in the winter.

Lovely getaway

This sweet home had it all! Tranquility, amenities and little extras. We enjoyed the waterfall, s’mores on the deck, board games at night and a restful comfortable sleep. We stayed in early July, a bit warm in the rooms at night, but fans helped. Other than that Lynn thought of everything a family might need for their stay. The boots, crayons, spices, coffee, soap and shampoo. Loved! And the home what detail. Thank you Lynn!!! What a gem.

Nice cottage over a stream

The porch, large sreened area, and cottage were lovely. We enjoyed our time in the outdoor areas. The house was clean and well equipped. We cooekd several meals and loved the double oven!! There was only air conditioning in the bedrooms which was ok on most of the 7 days we stayed. When we first entered the house you could smell smoke from the chimney. I suspect this was because it was a VERY warm day and the house was closed up. I say this because if we closed the house and returned during the warmest part of the day, we got that smokey smell each time. Unfortunately, with summer days becoming hotter Lynn may want to consider adding an AC unit to the main living space. Checking in andnout of the house at the security gate to the community was very easy and everyone was very friendly. We had 5 in our party, 2 adults and our 3 older teen children and we were quitr comfortable in this space. Thank you for sharing your home!!

One of the BEST rentals EVER!

We enjoyed Waters Fall so much! The creek alone was enough to make the stay wonderful, but the owner has put so much thought into the details of this amazing house that we had everything we needed and more. We appreciated all of the games and supplies and provision of outside equipment to have fun listening to and playing in the creek. The owner also was great at communicating with us. You will not be disappointed with this property or owner!

Peaceful Even In The Storm

Place was beautiful. Rained the whole time but that was okay, too. Rock slide due to rain was a major hassle getting around. Owner was nice but a couple of snafus/issues could have made things even nicer. No directions on how to control thermostat. Couldn't get TV on for 24 hrs. which caused other problems but not owner's fault. Just wasted a lot of time trying to get things working. Felt safe & secure. Could have used more than 2 washcloths & 2 towels for 2 adults staying on ground floor for 3 days. Could have used more than 2 rolls of toilet paper on each floor for a bunch of women (had to find a store to buy more). Got sick the last night we were there -- owner was kind enough to let us stay an extra hour. Grilled out during a break in the rain & the food promptly made me sick & I was responsible for my mom with dementia so still had to pack & get out by noon. Ugh! Lots of wasted time on this trip but again, not all on the owner.

Amazing stay!

First of all, the owner has thought of EVERYTHING! There are charging cords/ports for electronics exactly where you need them. Instructions for the property are clear and labeled clearly so you don’t have to second guess. I bought firewood on my way into town, but ample firewood (even fatlighter) was available. The kitchen is small, but so well equipped. The bed I slept in was supercomfy, with high quality linen. And the skylight above me gave me a view of the stars. The star of Waters Fall is the waterfall and noisy creek with the incredible deck and screen porch “room”. I was thrilled with the light snow shower the first two nights, however, if it had been warmer, I would have just spent all of my free time in that screened room. I’m definitely looking at my calendar to see if I can escape the summer heat in a month or two at this lovely cabin. It has some quirks—but they are simply cosmetic. The setting and the host’s thoughtfulness make Waters Fall a gem!
