If your looking for a place to unwind and enjoy nature look no further. Our stay was so peaceful. I loved all the special details and the way the solar lights around the property light up at night…truly magical. And if you stay here you must do the hike around the waterfall…loved it! Thanks so much for creating this space and sharing it with us!

Overall, we enjoyed our stay and found the property to be very beautiful. The grounds were gorgeous, and the view from the hot tub was especially lovely and one of the highlights of our visit.Our primary concern was the cleanliness of the interior. While the floors and main surfaces appeared clean, the home seemed to be in need of a more thorough deep cleaning. We noticed cobwebs and spider webs in several areas, and many higher fixtures and surfaces had a noticeable layer of dust. These details detracted from an otherwise pleasant experience and made the home feel less well maintained than expected.With some additional attention to deep cleaning and routine dusting, this property could provide an even better guest experience. We appreciated the beautiful setting and amenities and hope this feedback is helpful for future improvements.

Thank you for staying, Katy, and for the thoughtful feedback. We're so glad you loved the property, the views, and the hot tub — we put a lot of heart into making those experiences special. We hear you on the cobwebs and dust. We're tucked deep in the forest, so spiders are relentless neighbors — but that's our challenge to manage, not yours to notice. We've passed your specific observations directly to our cleaning team and will use them to tighten up our deep-cleaning routine. We appreciate you helping us get better, and we hope to have you back sometime.

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay! The property was well maintained, clean on arrival, and communication was great! There were some minor mishaps. The water did not work one morning and required us going into the crawl space to fix it. The towel rack in the downstairs bathroom fell off the wall. The water pressure in the house was mid at best and the temperature fluctuates consistently. Alexa was not as user friendly as we hoped.

Thank you so much for staying and for your feedback as I take so much pride in this property. I’m glad you enjoyed the place, the cleanliness, and our communication during your time there. When you arrived the water had temporarily stopped because I, myself, had forgotten to turn off the outdoor hose a few hours before you arrived, and that shut down the pump by design. Once we identified the cause together, I thank you for fixing the issue in the crawl. Just know In five plus years of hosting I haven’t had any guests report fluctuating water temperature or pressure, but I appreciate you mentioning it and I will certainly double-check everything just in case. Moving right along - the downstairs towel rack was damaged by a prior guest and it just hadn't been repaired yet - but there is a towel area located beside it so no one needs to worry moving forward. Also, the home uses Alexa so all my guests can adjust the ambient lighting and choose their own colors throughout the house, which goes so far in helping everyone create their own version of romance. But, we all know Alexa is Alexa - she can be annoying at times. So I apologize on behalf of Amazon :) Thanks again for your stay and for taking the time to share your feedback.

Our stay was everything promised and more from the house, the waterfalls, the lights, the view, the trails, etc... It is a one-of-a-kind stay that you can tell with every detail that it was built as a labor of love inside the house and out! A perfect view from the hot tub and for peace, relaxation, and nature.

This is a property you absolutely need to see in person. Pictures don’t do it justice!! The home is beautiful and well-decorated. The property itself is seemingly endless and so fun to explore.

Dreamiest cabin ever (and I travel a lot)

Postcard perfection. Endless waterfall sounds and mountain breeze - a modern home in the wilderness. The perfect escape . Views from the hot tub were breathtaking. My pup had the zoomies the second I let her off leash to gallop from rock to rock and she never stopped smiling- until we had to leave of course. I think she might still be mad . Worth every penny.

Modern home with endless trails!

I stayed three nights with my dog to get a lot of hiking in beautiful Hot Springs. Not only is Max Patch (a surreal experience especially at sunset) 5 miles up the road and the Appalachian trail about 25 min. from the property, the host Ken has built trails all over the property. So if you don't feel like leaving this very comfortable home you can just stay all day and hike and enjoy the amazing surroundings. I absolutely LOVED the sound system, the comfortable couch and bed, the lighting and of course hot-tubbing under the stars. I hope to be back in the fall if it doesn't get totally booked up!

Reconnecting and relaxation

The host has created a beautiful, peaceful, serene setting in the Hot Springs/MaxPatch area where you can unplug, relax, enjoy nature, hike, all while enjoying a luxury place to stay. Escaping city life, hot temperatures, locked doors and windows to sleeping with the windows open listing to peaceful sounds of waterfalls, enjoying nature such as butterflies, lightning bugs, and humming birds bringing back childhood memories. It was a truly great experience. The only reason I thought about lowering the score for accuracy of online listing is because initially we chose the cabin because of the address listed. Thinking it was in Asheville so we could visit the city which we could have done still, but everything happens for a reason and we ended up just staying the whole time relaxing at the location which is what we really needed. Just make sure you read the guide ahead of time, have your supplies, code, Wi-Fi password, all before you go to this remote area. The host is very receptive and ready to address any needs. We truly appreciate this experience.

Absolutely breathtaking

Our expectations were so high that I thought there was no way anything could ever live up to them. It was the week of mine and my girlfriend’s wedding. We spent a year planning and looking for the perfect place. When I tell you it was everything, it was everything. I’ll spend the rest of my life with the memories of marring my wife there, I couldn’t have asked for more perfect memories. It absolutely exceeded all of our expectations. It’s hard to put into words what this place is really like. The photos don’t/can’t do the waterfalls justice. They are absolutely beautiful and bountiful. It’s not just one or two, they are all through out. It’s just amazing. There are wide paths covered in moss that make it easy to walk along by the water. The leaves were changing the week we were there, and they bursted into color the whole week. Our dogs absolutely loved it there as well. They played in the water and soaked up the sun on the deck. The house is beautiful. I love how you can see different waterfalls from different windows. The couch is super comfy, and there were more tv channels than we knew what to do with. It was the most peaceful place I could have ever asked for, and to marry my wife there … it was everything. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in this most amazing place Ken. You’ve curated a space that exceeds all expectations. I hope to get to come back someday.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
I spent 20 years in New York City running my own legal recruiting firm before relocating to Western North Carolina. Since buying this property in 2019, I've spent most of my time reshaping the land by hand — no machinery, just a shovel, a weed whacker, and a couple of chainsaws. New projects happen every year.

Why they chose this property

I've traveled with a backpack and a camera across a lot of the world looking for places like this. I haven't found another private property with this kind of landscape literally at the doorstep.

What makes this property unique

There are no visible neighbors front, back, or to either side, so privacy is real here, not a marketing line. The sound of falling water carries from wherever you're sitting on the property. At night, the creek lights up from top to bottom.
