Franklin, North Carolina
This two bedroom, one and a half bath chalet is perched atop Ledford Branch Falls, offering amazing waterfall views from its extensive network of decking. Nestled in a cove of rustic mountain cabins, the Waterfall Chalet is one of the most unique vacation getaways in the North Carolina Mountains! Relax on the decks and enjoy the sound of rushing water cascading over the rocks, or for a true sense of refreshment, dip your toes in the cool, pure mountain water at the base of the falls! The fresh air from the rushing falls and the pure ice cold spring water is rejuvenating! The waterfall is illuminated with landscape lighting to provide dramatic night-time views as well.
This two bedroom mountain retreat is fully equipped with every amenity to ensure your visit is comfortable and carefree. Amenities include an open concept floor plan with very cozy stone fireplace with gas logs, rustic and relaxed furnishings, hardwood floors downstairs, large dining room table and ample seating for our guests. The living room has a large flat screen with Direct Satellite TV, telephone, and Wi-Fi. A loft style, open concept master suite upstairs features a king size bed and its own half bath. The guest bedroom on the 1st floor has a queen size bed and also has its own TV with Direct TV. The full bath is quite functional with a tub/shower combo and a unique and artistic double vanity with stone vessel sinks. The fully equipped kitchen has been recently renovated and features granite countertops, new stainless steel appliances and stylish lighting. The kitchen is outfitted with all pots, pans, coffee maker, tea kettle, blender and more. The cabin is fully stocked with linens, bedding, towels, etc. Outdoor areas are special too, featuring a nice patio set and gas grill for outdoor dining on the deck overlooking the waterfall. The property also has a full size laundry room and some covered parking.
Located in the heart of the Nantahala National Forest, midway between Highlands, Franklin, and Lake Glenville, this cabin offers the ideal mountain getaway. The fantastic location, with easy paved access directly off Walnut Creek Road makes this mountain cabin easily accessible for our visitors in all seasons! This cabin is the perfect home base for the outdoor enthusiast. World class hiking, camping and fishing are all within 30 minutes drive from the property. Lake Glenville, with its newly re-designed lake front beach area, is 5 miles from the cabin and so fun to swim in. If you are joining us in the winter, we are an easy 30 minute trip to Sky Valley for skiing too! Small walking trails wind through our five acre property, perfect for a quick stroll with your pooch - and guests can try their hand trout fishing in the creek above and below the falls.
A rustic bunk house on the property is also available for rent to accommodate a larger group. The 2 bdrm/1.5bth bunk house sleeps 6 people in bunk beds and a king size bed. The property has a living room/dining room combination with small equipped kitchen. The bunk house is clean and very simply furnished. It does not have TV or Wi-Fi. The bunk house is only for rent in conjunction with the Waterfall Cabin and is not leased to separate parties. Please inquire for rates and additional photos.
Pets are welcome upon approval with an additional fee at the Waterfall Cabin, but due to the steep decking, lots of stairs and the very large waterfall on the property, young children are usually discouraged.

Great place for a quiet getaway. Very clean and well supplied. Loved the deck overlooking the waterfall-peaceful and relaxing!
Great place. Beautiful waterfall. Convenient location. Comfortable.
It was a nice place, lots of outdoor space to enjoy, but didn't realize the neighbors were going to be so close. Not to much privacy. Road noise was annoying all night long. Beds were comfy. Shower was good. The waterfall made up for it all....sound was amazing relaxing and soothing (once the neighbors went in). Nice location being right in between towns of Franklin and Highlands. We enjoyed time in both towns.
Was a very nice relaxing stay, cabin is super cozy and tidy. A few things to bear in mind when booking: there is little to no cell service at the cabin. The wifi connectivity can be spotty due to lightning strikes taking out lines. There is a fair bit of road noise at the cabin. It is not super private, the neighbors are quite close by across the creek.
What a simply amazing place. Our family weekend trip could not have been complimented any better than by staying on this property. Besides being central to The Highlands and Franklin, the home was quite inviting. The pictures provided of the waterfall dont do it justice. The sound coming from the falls is so relaxing and the deck is very spacious. The falls was surprisingly larger than i was expecting. We all truely appreciated our stay
Just as described. Charming. Owners available for questions.
Water fall chalet exceeded our expectations. The owners took great care providing everything necessary for a comfortable stay and the views and decks were unbelievable
The cabin was beautiful! Very clean. Everything was provoded that you need while awhile. Road was loud. Neighbors had a barking dog. We enjoyed Highlands and Dry Falls. Beautiful
Idyllic place for peaceful and relaxing stay. Everything was as stated and more.
We loved our long weekend in the mountains at the Waterfall Cottage! It was easy to find and was everything we had hoped it would be. The waterfall is RIGHT next to the cabin and the sounds of the water are peaceful and calming. The beds are really comfy and the sheets are VERY soft. There are plenty of wine glasses and we even found a puzzle to get into on a rainy afternoon/evening. The cabin is very close to Highlands via a beautiful drive (a little scary at some parts actually, I'm glad we drove it in the daytime!) and we came back from Lake Glenville one afternoon from the other direction - also a beautiful bucolic mountain drive. We were very happy here and definitely would like to return soon!
Beautiful cabin with amazing relaxing view of waterfall and stream. We very much enjoyed our getaway!
Really well and thoughtfully appointed cabin. The waterfall is real, just as pictured. Comfortable furniture, beautiful blankets and throws, nice wall art and rugs. The decks are great. All the pictures in the ad are accurate. It’s a quick drive into Franklin which has some good restaurants. The drive into Highlands takes a bit longer but it is spectacular. This is a really great cabin for a nice getaway.
This beautiful property exceeded my expectations! The cabin was extremely clean and the outdoor space was incredible. The waterfall was absolutely gorgeous and it was so nice to enjoy it from the porch. The host had tons of games for little ones, patio chairs for the adults and many small amentites that were definitely not expected but made our stay great. We will definitely be back and we are so grateful that we were able to enjoy your wonderful property!
We visited the week after Christmas and the location is great. The view of the waterfall and surrounding area is amazing. The location is great and is close enough to Franklin to access the restaurants and things to do without feeling like you have to plan a trip. Would definitely return.
My husband and I enjoyed a blissfully relaxing weekend at this cozy cabin. This secluded property is wonderfully close to all of the waterfalls along scenic 64. The kitchen has ample supplies for cooking and the furniture is well made and comfortable. We slept in the upstairs king bed, which feels like a tree house ?. The mattress was firm, yet soft and was perfect for my bad back. Great place to get away and renew!
Easy to rent! Thank you!
Loved the house and amenities. Right on busy road during the day, but very quiet at night.
The chalet overlooking the waterfall was incredible. It had all of the comforts of home plus gorgeous views!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cabin has everything you'll ever need and the outdoor space is amazing! Although we hardly ed the kitchen, it is well equipped and stocked with spices and condiments. We only used the bedroom downstairs and the bed was very comfortable. Plush white towels were plentiful. Paper towels and toilet paper are the thick kind, not the cheap 1 ply vetsions! LOL. Sounds petty but these little things are game changers for us! It is what we are used to and what we would have for our guests... these show us the owner takes great pride in making their guests feel at home. We will definitely be back! Thank you Nancy and Joa for sharing your wonderful cabin!
We really enjoyed this property. The waterfall was great and cabin was nice and roomy.
My college roommate and I Started and ended every day sitting out on the porch overlooking a beautiful waterfall scene. The house was so comfortable and accommodating it had everything needed. We were close enough to enjoy tubing down the Tuckasegee river, visit several water flood falls in the area, and enjoyed lunches out Franklin and Dillsboro. All around- great experience!
Waterfall house is excellent, photos do not do it justice! Thanks so much for sharing your home.
Relaxing & rejuvenating
We always stay in a vacation rental when we travel. This property is the most beautiful, comfortable, and centrally located home we've rented! You will not want to leave! The owners are super nice and accommodating. Franklin is a great place to visit with plenty of activities to keep you busy. The best part is coming home every evening and sitting on the porch watching the waterfall. Do not hesitate to rent this property!
This is a dream come true home. Road our harley 9 hrs to come stay and will have to stay again. All questions where answered promptly. Home was wonderful
Nice cabin with a beautiful view. The waterfall is amazing and the deck that overlooks it was comfortable and peaceful. Kitchen had everything we needed. Great stay.
