Unique Waterfall Chalet, Decks Over Huge Waterfall!

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.

Totally relaxing weekend
Beautiful cabin, and just like the description it sits right over the waterfall. We spent most of our time on the deck facing the waterfall in the comfy Adirondack chairs. The location is very convenient, easy to find and well within short, traveling distance to many hiking and tourist opportunities. A beautiful place and we would definitely stay again.

Nice place
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.

great spot on Ledford Creek
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.

Stellar property
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
