About this property

This is a 3-year-old custom-built home, beautifully furnished and created for your family's memories. It is located in Catatoga Club, a private gated community in Lake Toxaway, North Carolina.

This home sits on Lake Catatoga with canoes, paddleboards, a dock, fishing, swimming, and hiking trails all available, along with numerous waterfalls within steps from our back porch. While fishing is prohibited in the creeks, it is welcomed in the lake behind our home. We do have a few poles but you might want to bring your own as they get damaged regularly.

You will also have access to the Catatoga swim and tennis facilities, and hot tub during the summer months. For those seeking a peaceful and scenic relaxing mountain retreat, you will find plenty to savor in this breathtaking community.

After a full day outdoors, you can come back for some ping pong, shuffleboard, Cornhole, or simply relax on your outdoor swing bed. For the evening, prepare dinner in our world-class kitchen or kick back and watch the game on one of the 70-inch smart TVs with Sonos surround sound. With only a 20-minute drive to Cashiers or Brevard and less than an hour to Highlands/Asheville, you will never run out of options for great hiking, biking, fishing, food, drink, and shopping!

Wonderful stay!

We loved our time at Rick and Martha’s beautiful home - the setting was lovely (gorgeous views) and the property was in a great location with a few easy hikes available right from the property itself. They had everything we could have needed in the kitchen and the bedrooms for our group of 11 adults and kids very well. The house itself is beautiful and very well done. We hope to visit again! Thank you!

Fantastic stay!

We had an outstanding Thanksgiving holiday at Lake Toxaway. The house is exactly as described -- comfortable beds, high-end finishes, and a fully stocked kitchen. Trails around the property are easy to find/follow for novice hikers. The house is also quite accessible for *most* wheelchair users (one bedroom on main/upper level, all others require stairs) as long as they can cross one small step to get in the house and one step to get into the shower on the main level. We built a little ramp out of firewood, which wasn't ideal but worked well enough. I offer this in case other folks have accessibility needs. Thanks so much to our terrific hosts - we loved staying in your beautiful home!

Our favorite place.

Our family of five has stayed in many vacation rental properties over the years in multiple locations throughout the South East, US. This was hands down the family favorite. The property was beautiful. It was clean and laid out so well. The surroundings were breath taking. It says a lot when adults, a teenager, an older child, and a kindergartener all leave a vacation saying the had the best time. We enjoyed hiking and adventuring around the neighborhood trails the most. We also loved coming back to a cozy environment with a peaceful view to watch movies at night. So perfect. We would love to visit this home again.

Girls Trip

We are seven lifelong friends who travel together every year. We had a fabulous time--coffee on the porch in the morning, cocktails in the evening. Lots of outdoor activities in between. The house is beautiful! Comfy beds, well stocked kitchen and bathrooms. EASY check in and communication with host. Would definitely recommend!

August 2023 Family Vacation

We had a wonderful stay at Little Bit O Heaven! We had 2 families of 4 and more then enough room. Loved the location at Catatoga Club - amenities were great and lots to do at the home which was a big plus. First 2 days we barley left the house! Fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding, hiking all out the back door. Also very accessible to Cashiers, Brevard, Sapphire, etc. Home is extremely well appointed, beautifully furnished and maintained. We are grateful the Franks shared this gem with us, we would love to come back!

About the host

Hosted by Rick and Martha Franks

This is our dream home and life achievement that we recently built for our family to come together and enjoy. When we aren't there, we want you to have the opportunities to build the same memories that we have built on this property for the past 3 decades.

Why they chose this property

Our family owned this property (it was originally called The Falls) for decades. We vacationed here as much as possible and we have never found a better place to come for family getaways from the crazy world, while still having all the amenities you could ever want.

What makes this property unique

Absolutely beautiful scenery of the lake, mountains, many trails and waterfalls within walking distance, nearby towns to visit, and the pleasure of watching nature at its finest with birds, deer, beaver, raccoons, and who knows what else makes this place their home as well. It's a picturesque setting that allows you to do anything from being busy all day long to sitting on one of our big back deck porches and watching the world go by. Every day will be a new adventure, and if you like afternoon napping...oh my!
