Independence, Virginia
Paradise Lost! Come to one of the most unique properties in the Blue Ridge. Artisan home surrounded by 15 acres with a 150ft waterfall a few feet off the front deck. If you are looking for WI FI and TV this is NOT your vacation. Looking for down time Looking for inspiration Looking to reconnect with nature and disconnect from the speed of the world this IS the place for you. Open the windows and let the sound of the water heal your soul. Sit in front of an antique picture window with 20 foot writing desk and watch as the rays of the sun filter through the canopy of trees and light across the pages of your journal. From this window you will be looking down about 100 ft to the creek below and at all the amazing rock formations on the opposing bank. Or take your yoga mat on the deck and do warrior pose as the sun wakes the day. At night build a fire in the pit on the deck and listen to the night sounds as you watch the stars come out. Take a soak in the Asian tub inside the house and open the windows and listen to the falls as you let the weight of the world fade away. Everyone who comes will understand how special this place is. You can not write about special you have to feel it. Home was previously owned by writer and playwright. From the soapstone kitchen sink to the shower room with a rock ledge for the drain every detail is unique. It is the perfect vacation for writers or romantics. The driveway is steep and tricky to navigate. Guest are recommended to have an all wheel drive, 4x4, or at least front wheel drive vehicle. Option to park inside gate and shuttle supplies down in a cart.
Around the area you will find yourself 3 miles from the New River and Blue Ridge Parkway. You are about 45 minutes from some of the best hiking the state has to offer at Grayson Highlands State park where you can connect to the Appalachian Trail. The New River Trail you can pick up as you enter Galax 20 min from cabin. This will connect you with miles of walking trail. West Jefferson NC is a 50 min drive and you can spend all day walking quaint shops and wonderful eateries.
Beautiful waterfall that you can see and hear from home.
One of the most beautiful and serene places; the house is secondary to the waterfall and all that it brings- the unbelievable view, surrounding sound resounding through your soul with a message of peace and calm. My husband and I fell in love with this place, fell in love with each other all over again and felt the love of God in every inch of our beings. If you love the outdoors, love waterfalls, and being surrounded by beauty- then this is a place for you. For connection, for peace, for rediscovery.... one of the best times of our lives We are already planning our return anniversary trip this summer. The owner is tremendously helpful and kind, all the amenities you could want, with open communication - while the house is out of town, there is a landline and Caroline was very accessible. We felt safe and cared for during our stay. .
A great place to disconnect and reconnect. We'll be back for sure! Just be aware of the driveway-- it really is steep and even my husband's Subaru struggled to get up it. You will need a car with 4WD for sure.
One of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed. Truly. This one of a kind experience will induce you to unplug and recharge your soul. That waterfall is a unique thing of beauty and the fall air’s crispness only makes the stars all the warmer. Thanks you so much for sharing such a delightful spot on earth. Definitely will stay again. -Erik and Amy Young
The waterfall cottage was exactly what my husband and I needed! We loved everything about our stay. We read, listened to the wonderful cd collection, danced, played cards and just enjoyed each others company while watching and listening to the falls. We cooked breakfast and dinner in the well supplied kitchen each day and explored local towns in the afternoon. Caroline really thought of everything! We look forward to coming back. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us!!
One of the most beautiful places on earth. The cabin was as cozy, clean, and perfectly located in a branch of heaven on earth.
I highly recommend this peaceful home overlooking a beautiful waterfall that you hear morning and night. We loved waking up and seeing the waterfall. The Japanese soaking tub offered a tranquil view of the waterfall during the day, sounds if the waterfall and candlelight at night. No wifi, no cell phones … an incredible respite from fast paced life.
Short stay this time, but we made the most of it. This property is an absolute gem. You can relax in a comfy chair staring at the elegance of the falls with a glass of wine and some music playing, or soak for hours in the tub. Outside, the waterfall and stream are an exciting habitat for various wildlife. We spotted two different types of newts! The space is so inviting, and you can really see the care that's gone into making it so remarkable. Everything is magical. Turn off your phone, unpack your things, and let the natural, wild beauty of this place erase your troubles. We'll certainly be back for a longer stay in the future!
My wife and I live in the country on a purty piece of land, but this spot is something special. The sounds and the grounds are lush but they are rivaled by the deep soak tube hanging over you private waterfall in the back yard. We will be calling on our wonderful host, Caroline, again!
Lovely cabin nestled in the woods with the best view in Virginia! We so much enjoyed unplugging from NoVa busy-ness and sitting on the deck watching the waterfall. This is a getaway treasure!
There is no better place in Virginia to unplug from the internet and detach from the busy-ness of modern life. Perfect peace at the foot of a waterfall. Lovely, perfectly appointed cabin. Stay for a weekend or for two weeks - leave refreshed and only wishing you could stay longer. Healing Waters Falls has my highest recommendation!
This place is amazing. Beautifully crafted building that seems to have been built around the bathtub and views of the waterfall. Exposed reclaimed timbers and lots of windows. It felt like we were at our own private sauna and meditation center. We parked at the top of the hill by the gate and walked down. We didn't trust our minivan to make it back up the steep hill. We actually had just enough cell coverage to send a text (Verizon). Our only regret was not being able to figure out the landline phone number so we could say goodnight to our kiddos. Highly recommend this place if you are looking to unplug and love nature.
Caroline has thought of everything to make this home a peaceful, rejuvenating, amazing retreat. Your stress falls away the minute you enter the home, and then you look outside to the land and beautiful waterfall! Absolutely spectacular yet so comforting at the same time. It was very hard to leave and we cannot wait to return!
This cabin was so much more then we expected. The sense of peace and togetherness brought us back to a calm place. We didn’t miss the technology at all! In fact we didn’t want to leave.
The photos of this property do not do it justice. It is absolutely beautiful and immaculate. It is WAY off the beaten path, so be prepared for a drive into a remote area, but the tranquility and sense of escape are worth every mile!
This is a total zen experience. The house is beautiful inside and so well stocked. Caroline has thought of every small detail from the kitchen to the bathroom all the way to the well stocked medicine chest. Just bring your clothes and food. Turn off the world and turn on the recovery!
Wonderful. Peaceful. Magical.
The constant sound of the falls, produces a fantasy mind set. The unique architecture and decor of the house only adds to the fantastic dreamy state. The owner, Caroline is the perfect host, who's only concern is your time spent at the Falls If you are looking for a magic hide away. This is it.
