About this property
Private Falls-Hiking-View-King beds-Sauna-Pub-Chefs Kitchen-In Town & Private!
Set on 6 lush acres w waterfall pool, a small creek, and in a gated, safe, quiet neighborhood (with quiet hours enforced).. Alpenglow Falls was created to set a new standard for mountain luxury - View, water, fire, hike in/out, all en-suite bathrooms, king beds, open spaces, the sounds & smells of the 6 private acres of forest surrounding you and, unbelievably, just 1.2 miles to Buck's coffee from the neighborhood. Its privacy and location offer the best of natural surroundings while being close to groceries, restaurants and shopping!
The home was designed to face EXACTLY 291 degrees southwest to focus on the gorgeous view of famous Whiteside Mountain, where you see the perfect sunrise & sunset colors beaming back at you from its peak while you settle into any number of spaces created to engulf you in fresh mountain air, sights, & the sounds of natural water flowing everywhere..
The mountain smiles back at you as your own smile invariably takes you from the stresses of travel to the ahhhhhhhh of a real vacation where nothing is left to chance except where you'll have that first sip of wine, or where you'll watch the amazing sunrise off the mountain as you sip a frothy latte from the gourmet kitchen.
As you arrive, a huge cathedral ceiling opens your senses to the feel of a mountain spa as you're met with open spaces & king-sized relaxation suites in every direction. The view will draw you to it, and onto the massive cathedral porch, where the sights and sounds of flowing, boulder-rich water takes you to a magical world where nature meets nurture.... Welcome to Alpenglow Falls, we're glad you found us!
This 6000+ square foot luxury home boasts three levels full of consistency, yet waiting with pleasant surprises at every turn. From the 3-person infrared sauna & huge indoor/outdoor shower in the spa-themed primary suite, to the sexy subterranean vintage parlor & underground speakeasy, & all the way up to the third level mountain man-cave, there's something for everyone. You can hike from the property into a nearly private trail system to discover the headwaters of the whitewater river, or simply relax on the huge porches, listen to the chorus of the onsite waterfall pool (unheated) or saunter down to the star-gazing fire pit & roast some marshmallows. Meant for R&R in every season, this is nature's spa....
The John Muir Suite, complete with an actual tree harvested on site, is your gateway to another time and space, while the Magic Forest suite engulfs you in wonder and fantasy. The lower level Grotto Suite, with it's private entrance & secret passage to the parlor & underground speakeasy, is like a luxurious cave custom carved for those seeking privacy in a natural environment. The young, and young at heart, will certainly squabble over who gets to stay and play in the mountain man-cave, complete with ping pong, video games, movies, poker, and all the space that 2-4 fun-seeking folks could need.
Every bedroom has its own full bath, plus there's a bonus living room, kitchenette & coffee areas for everyone to have their own schedules & sundries.
For everyone, the main open living, dining, & gourmet kitchen offer large spaces to gather everyone along with professional cooking for the whole clan. Thanks to sliding glass panels, you'll savor the results of intentional design that allow the outdoors in. The expansive screened porches invite the sounds of water & touch of breezes inside, while keeping any unwanted guests out. You no longer have to imagine what it feels like to live with nature as it engulfs your every sense. The hottest summer day is cool and perfect on the cathedral porch, while the coldest winter night allows you to bask under the whisper quiet heaters or enjoy a roaring fire inside and out, so there's no such thing as imperfect weather.
This is Alpenglow living, purpose built as the immaculate escape to the mountains.. Take it Easy, and Play Hard!
Additional services available include:
On-site massage by the best therapists in Western NC!
Private 'bucket-list' guided hiking adventures by Tim, your host and mountain guide who has manicured a system of essentially private hikes to incredible waterfalls not found on any tourist maps or guides but made accessible to you by a very adventurous and passionate waterfall enthusiast.

Thanks Keith, you and your crew were such a great group to host as well!!
What an incredible property this is! No detail was overlooked, our host was so gracious and made sure we had all of the information we needed to enjoy our stay. This place is a dream.
We had a fabulous time at this gorgeous and private property! The location is wonderful with lots nearby to explore. Spent amazing mornings and evenings on the huge screened porch listening to the waterfalls and trying to memorize the incredible views.
Best stocked VRBO that I've ever stayed or been in. Tim gave us directions to great hiking trails and a fabulous restaurant, The Library. We will be back.

Thanks a ton, and so glad you enjoyed your stay! I hope you can come back again soon!
Beautiful property. Will definitely book here again. Perfect for hosting family. Extremely clean. Wonderful view of mountains. Sauna pulse pool made for great cold plunge. Hikes & great restaurants nearby. Tim was an excellent host.
Great house, view, location and amenities. We loved our time there. Everything was first class. Easy church-in, great suggestions for area activities and restaurants, fantastic kitchen and outdoor area. We will return!
The house was amazing! We loved the layout for 4 adult couples and 3 small children. The kitchen has everything and the second refrigerator was awesome to have. The pool was chilly but gorgeous and perfect after a sauna!

Thanks for the sweet feedback and for being such a pleasure to host, Eileen!
I could not ask for a more gracious host, than Tim. Tim went out of his way to ensure we had everything we needed, he sent an amazing directional video, a list of fun things to do while in the area and places of interest. Tim has such a delightful personality and sense of humor. The house and amenities speak for theirselves-awesome. We had a delightful time. My children staged an old fashioned “sit-in” to stay longer. Hysterical! Thank you Tim, for making our stay 5 star plus, plus, plus!

Wow, thanks so much, Cathy!! You and your crew were such a blast to host! Come back soon!
This home checked all of our boxes, absolutely private, yet only 5 minutes to the Cashier’s crossroad. incredible view, spacious, well stocked and maintained. So comfortable and relaxing! The crowning glory is the gorgeous pool and waterfall, we literally lived in the screened in porch. Our host was a great communicator and made everything so easy. Highly recommended this beautiful property!
We loved this beautiful mountain home! The views and outdoor spaces are truly stunning. This home was perfect for relaxing with friends by the fire and our kids enjoyed the upstairs playroom. The host was wonderful and very responsive. Highly recommend!
15th year of our friends getting together and we may have finally found our ideal place to enjoy the game/weekend! Amazing property and Tim (the owner) went above and beyond to make sure we had the best time...available for questions, recommendations, etc.

Thanks so much, Branden, we’d love to have you back anytime, and hope your team won!
This house is absolutely beautiful, with amazing views. We spent a quiet New Year with family and enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere. We also explored the surrounding little towns and beautiful nature. Tim is a wonderful host who was very communicative and gave great recommendations!

So glad you enjoyed your stay! Thanks for being an absolute joy to host!
The house is great and the outdoor space is the highlight but the view and location are the stars here. It’s literally 5 minutes to Cashiers and short drives to fantastic hikes in Panthertown and Gorges State Park.
It was a perfect way to spend a relaxing but active July 4th weeek.
Can’t say enough about this beautiful property! This home has everything including an amazing view!! Our family of 7 had a great time! Tim is hands on from the start and super accessible if you need him. You won’t be disappointed with this home!

So glad you had a great stay and enjoyed the view! Thanks for the kind words and especially for being such a joy to host!
We had such an amazing time at this beautiful house in the woods. I honestly can’t say enough about how perfect the location is with lots of space to roam and explore nature nearby. The house is very well stocked. The kitchen is the best we’ve ever stayed in through a vacation rental. Everyone is looking forward to coming back in the summer to see nature come back to life after its winter rest. Thank you for sharing this beautiful home with us!

Thanks so much, Jenny,we’re excited to host you again! What a wonderful guest :)
The owner of this property was so communicative and helpful. By far my best vrbo experience I’ve ever had. He even decorated the house for us for Christmas. The house was perfectly appointed and the kitchen had everything you could ever need. I can’t say enough good things about this property. I highly recommend it!!!
Tim was great and reached out several days prior to our arrival and provided all of the check in instructions and detailed directions on how to get to his amazing home. Whenever I had a question he responded immediately. The home is spectacular with views of Whiteside Mountain from the main areas of the home. My family of 9 were here during the Thanksgiving weekend and the well equipped kitchen was perfect for cooking a large Thanksgiving meal and enjoying ourselves in the open living area. The property is very private at the end of the road in the community but minutes from Cashiers with a large grocery store, many restaurants, and all kinds of shops. There are also many hiking trails nearby our favorite being Whiteside Mountain Trail which is minutes away. We travel extensively as a family and have stayed at many VRBO homes and this home has now become our favorite of them all!

About the host
Hosted by Tim Gallaway
After creating & hosting several very successful mountain and lake properties for years, we decided to sell them all and build our dream vacation property, so we're beyond excited to have made this vision a reality and now share it with you!
Why they chose this property
Because it checked every box for us! Views, IN TOWN, yet completely private with acreage, water & the ability to hike in and hike out onto essentially private trails that we are helping to grow and maintain.
What makes this property unique
Having the gorgeous views, boulders & waterfalls right at your fingertips, and the intentional design that engulfs guests in everything they come to the mountains for! The sounds of waterfalls, the gorgeous sunrise and sunset views, and the fact that nature has been designed in at every turn. It's also far above what has become the typical rentals with cheap furniture, overstuffed spaces, and cheap hosts who give you two dishwasher pods and single ply TP... We take care of everything and spared no expense to create a high-quality experience for discerning guests.
