About this property

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.

This cozy beautiful home exceeded our expectations. The home is clean and well stocked with games, blankets, towels, kitchen tools and anything else you would need for a great mountain weekend. We all enjoyed playing in the creek and the sound of the water allows you to escape the outside world! Being centrally located between Boone, Blowing Rock and Banner Elk made it easy to explore all the high country has to offer. We can't wait to stay here again!

We are very familiar with the area but never imagined such a cute chalet was tucked back into Hound Ears! It had everything we could need, and the check-in process was seamless; I am not surprised that Waters Fall has so many high reviews. We will be back to stay in Lynn’s beautiful home again soon! The location was ideal, with the patio, screened porch, and such comfortable beds! Can’t wait to return.

What a hideaway retreat in the mountains! The cabin was clean and basically had everything you could need or want as far as dishes, appliances, and other necessities. I want to say it is cozy but don't mistake that for meaning small or tight as that is not what I am saying. I mean that every space is welcoming and comfortable. The gazebo is amazing, you are surrounded by the sound of water falls and it is really enjoyable. If you want a private getaway nestled in nature, don't miss Waters Fall!

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!

Very nice mountain getaway

This was a terrific home base to spend a few days exploring the Boone area and escape the lowland heat. The house is tidy and clean, but the real stars are the large deck overlooking the creek, the screened in gazebo, and the creek itself, which our 5 & 11y/o loved exploring.

Third time was a charm, Just like the first two!

This was our third stay at Waters Fall and everything was exceptional. It’s location is convenient to downtown Boone, Blowing Rock, Banner Elk, etc. and all that there are to do there. The cozy accommodations and outstanding surroundings made for a really enjoyable long weekend. Oh, and thanks for the dusting of snow!

Waters Fall

This was my third visit to Waters Fall. The waterfall that runs beside the house and under the screened porch provide an absolutely beautiful setting. This vacation home is very clean and outfitted with all the amenities needed for a lengthy stay. The location is ideal for quick trips to Blowing Rock and Boone.

The Waterfall was perfect

The sound of the waterfall was the perfect soundtrack to a relaxing week. The porch makes the house, perfect place to sit and relax, we spent more time outside than in, the screened in area was a plus. Check in was easy and the house had everything we needed. With the construction on 105 we utilized back roads to get around.

Always the mountains.

Why they chose this property

I'm not objective. There is a love of the mountains, yes,... but. There is something about this piece of land that captures my heart -- in the morning, during the day, and blissfully at night -- with the light shining on the water, the stories of the day and laughter with friends and family. Snapshots of best times.

I am not a rental professional or part of a corporation. This is my family home and I feel blessed to share it with others and hear their stories. Hopefully your story, too.
