    WARNING. I would have given this property 4 stars, the beds brought it down from 5. However, I am going to have to give it a 2. I admit that I did not read all the way to the bottom, and therefor did not see “4WD is required during winter months/snowy conditions”, and did not have it brought to my attention until I was past the cancel date. I would have canceled, but as it was, my son in law and both rented 4WD vehicles. 456 extra for me, I don’t know what he paid. As it turned out we did need them to get the 200 yards to the house. There was a heavy snow storm in TN and NC 2 days prior to our arrival. A local businessman told me that kind of storm is a once in 5 year event. No attempt was made to clear the drive in the week that we were there.

    Our family had a wonderful time together this past weekend. I think everyone really enjoyed their stay. We had a range of 8 months to 89 years in our group, and it was special to have everyone together in this lovely location. There were some concerns that I have already shared with the agent, but overall, it was a great experience for everyone.

    Wonderful, magical stay. We were surrounded by woods, wildflowers, and waterfalls and enjoyed comfy indoor and outdoor spaces. The variety of bedrooms/ beds easily accommodated our group of assorted ages and connections. Great kitchen, with plenty storage and made for cooking. The fire pit area next to the water was perfect for gathering to visit, enjoy s’mores and breathe deeply. For our group, the Waterfall Lodge was a great value and exceeded expectations!

    We enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, the spacious kitchen area for having breakfast before heading out for the day and cooking meals and after dinner the family time around the campfire in the evening, During the day we visited the surrounding areas for shopping, scenic views snd festivities close by! We all had an amazing time at the cabin with the bonus of listening to the the waterfalls! Loved our stay!!!

    This property is in a beautiful mountain location with lots of room for a family of seven. We felt safe and were appreciative of a quick response when we had some problems in the kitchen. The children enjoyed fishing in the pond, and the large kitchen and table made meals easy to do.

    We came up to serve the families of WNC who were affected by the storm. This property was great in location to access centrally from Asheville to Spruce Pine. It’s a gorgeous place inside and out. We were very surprised by the spacious rooms and porch areas. We had children from 3 to 16 and they enjoyed the bunk beds, backyard area and “secret” loft. We will definitely plan another trip to this home soon! I can only imagine how amazing it will be covered in snow. Only last minute surprise was the very steep driveway and the sign for the back entrance was hard to find. With a large truck and trailer this made turning around very difficult but other than that everything was perfect! A real 10/10 stay!

    This lodge is huge! Everything about this place says wood lodge. Too many positive things to say! So in short, the things we noticed, The home is not that far off the main road, so pay attention not to drive by because it’s very hard to turn around, has two separate driveways, Home is clean. Outdoors was very quiet, you can walk up to the other pond and go fishing. Waterfall lodge is definitely on the list to go back to visit.

    Beautiful peaceful home close to Asheville but far enough away that you are in a lucious green backdropped waterfall paradise. We will be back.
