About this property

"Falling Water" Perfect for families!

Middle Creek is known for its pocket water and plunge pools in the creek with opportunities for catching Brook, Brown and Rainbow trout.

This house is like getting two for the price of one. The upper unit is a open concept with beautiful wooden floors, 2 bedrooms, large bathroom, sunroom, kitchen and a living room with a gas fireplace and a queen size sleeper couch.

The lower unit has a beautiful sunroom along with a fully updated kitchen, large bedroom and bathroom. The living area also has Queen size sleeper couch and gas fireplace. The cooling and heating is a mini split system and is separate from the upper unit .
Both units have exits to the multiple decks and sitting areas.
All of this and on a paved road with ample parking along with the creek frontage this is a hard combination to find.

We are located 9 miles from Franklin, NC and 11 miles from Clayton, GA so there is a choice of many restaurants and different things to do.

We live in a rural area without garbage pickup and an abundance amount of wildlife that will get into the trash. Please keep the trash inside in the garbage bins provided. You can take the garbage to the recycling center when you leave or we can for a fee of $25.
There is an exterior ring camera covering driveway and entrance gate.
Cell phone reception will either be spotty or not work at all. Internet is provided so you can use your VOIP service offered on most phones(Voice over internet protocol). or we do have a landline phone.

This was our second time staying and we had a great time. The furniture is very comfortable and clean. We brought our own tubes and pump to go down the river. There are plenty of towels - including towels for if you get in the river. The grill was newer and great. The basics were in the kitchen and we cooked all meals. There could be better lighting in the kitchen and other rooms, but that is minor.Ingles is about 15 minutes away. Looking forward to returning.

We had a wonderful weekend at Falling Water! The place truly feels like a home away from home — cozy, comfortable, and beautifully set by the creek. We loved listening to the sound of the water and taking in the peaceful view. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. A perfect spot to relax and recharge — we’d love to come back!

Clean and comfy

The house was immaculately clean and beds and sofas were comfortable. Location by the river was fabulous. Kids enjoyed fishing and tubing. The kitchen had everything we needed. One thing to note, to get to the upstairs master you have to either walk through the room with 2 twin beds or the shared bathroom. We are already planning our next trip.

Mountain Reverie

The access to the property was actually excellent given its mountainous area. The house was clean, well decorated and roomy! Sounds of the rushing water was deeply relaxing. It's an older house with unique features. Access to Franklin and Clayton was easy. Overall, a delightful place to escape city life.

Incredible stay!

My husband and I had the opportunity to stay at Falling Waters for our long weekend and we had the best time! The house is so relaxing and is RIGHT over the beautiful creek. We loved listening to the sound of the water flowing by the house and were lucky enough to be able to bring our pups along who absolutely loved their time in the mountains! My husband loved the open living space which was perfect for cooking a great steak and watching football and we really enjoyed all of the great deck space at the home by the water.

Family Weekend

This place is wonderful! Very interesting house and the location right on the creek's edge is peaceful and just beautiful. The house itself was well supplied with everything we might need and beautifully decorated. My family had so much fun and we all hope to make a return visit sometime in the future. Middle Creek is a special place to me because my father grew up a couple of curves up the road. Now my own family has memories there too. Thank you for an awesome weekend!
