Scenic Falls Cabin - Private 65’ Waterfall & Pool

Angela

The biggest draw for us with the Scenic Falls Cabin was the waterfall and pond along with the seclusion of the property. The water flowing over the rocks in the background along with the gentle sounds of the woods was like one big exhale. The home is very clean and the amenities are of high quality. The kitchen and bathrooms are well appointed and the bedrooms and living room have comfortable furnishings. The large wide porch is perfect for reading and talking. We didn’t make use of the fire pit, hot tub, or other outdoor activities but they are there for those who would. Heather has thought of everything one could want or need for their stay. As any excellent host, she was accessible and responsive when called upon. She was happy to share info on the area and make recommendations. Thank you, Heather, for a great weekend stay to truly unwind.

The Scenic Falls cabin was a little slice of heaven. My husband, two young kids and I rented this cabin for a long weekend and fell in love with the property. We did morning “hikes” down the driveway to the waterfall, evenings we grilled, and at night after the kids fell asleep enjoyed the hot tub surrounded by fireflies. Sylva was a great central point to many surrounding towns, but we especially enjoyed the proximity to smokey mountain national park where we spent most our days. Heather was a fantastic host, going above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. We will definitely be back!

What a special place to vacation. Lots of stuff to do around the area and the private waterfall on the property is a gem in itself.

Kenneth

This was one of the best Airbnb stays we’ve ever had. The property is beautifully secluded in the mountains, offering peace, privacy, and incredible scenery. The highlight was definitely the private waterfall having it all to ourselves felt like something out of a postcard. The hiking trails around the property were fantastic, and after a day of exploring, relaxing in the hot tub while overlooking the waterfall was absolutely unforgettable. The house itself was spotless, spacious, and very comfortable, with plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the stay. The kitchen was exceptionally well stocked with cookware, utensils, and everything needed to prepare meals, which made it feel like a true home away from home. If you’re looking for a peaceful mountain getaway with amazing natural beauty and all the comforts of home, this place is hard to beat. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and relaxing escape.

We had a long stay at the cabin, and the overall experience was nothing short of perfection. The cabin is well appointed with all the necessary touches, the property is incredible from the falls to the hot tub to cornhole tournaments, and the location could not be more perfect to all the recreation and idyllic towns to be found in Western North Carolina. From check in to departure, Heather was very communicative and helpful to make our stay special. The waterfall and bubbling creek is bliss, but it's everything around it from a lodging perspective that makes this place truly a gem.

Amber

This was our 2nd time back! We love this place. Great Private place - amazing waterfalls and rocks! We really enjoyed the stars, lightning bugs and the birds. What a magical place- thank you for sharing. It’s exactly as described and make sure you have AWD! It’s not hard to get up the driveway if you just maintain speed. Excellent Host that makes you feel welcomed but gives you privacy.

Christine

We enjoyed every minute! The house was clean with lots of extras. The house was perfect! A welcoming atmosphere and a lovely gift for us! The outside was just beautiful and relaxing, listening to the waterfall was awesome! And the hot tub was perfect for the morning and evening! I definitely would recommend this lovely location! Thank you Heather for all help and instructions!!

Angela

Heather is incredibly communicative, quick to respond and very helpful with suggestions for things to do in the area (don't skip ILDA!) The house was spotless and comfortable. The decor strikes a perfect balance of simple, modern, and inviting, so you immediately feel at home. The kitchen was well stocked, and the hot tub was clean and ready to go. The real standout features~ dog-friendly (which is a game changer) and the private waterfall and surrounding landscape, which made it feel like a hidden retreat, very peaceful. You'll definitely want 4WD to get up the hill, but if you follow the directions provided, it’s totally manageable and worth it. Overall, an amazing stay and would absolutely come back and highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing, beautiful getaway.

Heather

My family and I are frequent travelers and have stayed in a variety of rentals in numerous locations. Heather's cabin was, hands down, our favorite stay of all time! The location is truly magnificent. Inviting, private, tranquil - and close to nearby towns. The private waterfall, breathtaking views, and accessible hiking trails were incredible. The cabin has all of the essentials you could think to need, but we were pleasantly surprised to find Heather carefully and thoughtfully provided several additional, unexpected items throughout the cabin. The welcome gifts and hand-written notes were so charming and heartwarming. We brought our rescued French Bulldog, and were over the moon to see special grain free treats for her to enjoy after a long trip. The attention to detail was significantly above and beyond. Heather was a gracious host - very responsive, kind, and eager to provide recommendations and assist with making arrangements of all kinds. Highly recommend - 1M star review!!!

Shannon

I can’t say enough good things about Heather’s cabin! It was PERFECT for my vacation! She provided everything I needed and much more. The private waterfall and hot tub were fabulous additions! I can’t wait to return to this place and will stay longer the next go around!

Bryce

Very nice cabin. Has everything you need. Very clean. The waterfall on the property is a nice bonus. Close to town. Would rent again!

Retha

Heather, we loved your home, the perfect placed for our anniversary, thank you for your hospitality, you were a great host!!!

Timothy

Amazing place and checked all of the boxes for a great weekend getaway.

Robyn

We had an amazing stay! It was perfect for my husband and I’s annual getaway to the mountains. Heather was responsive and helpful every step of the way. The personal touches in the house were so nice. Heather truly cares about her guests and wants to make the experience better than even you planned. Cannot recommend enough and will be booking again!

Tammy

This mountainside cabin was the perfect last minute getaway and exceeded all our expectations. Heather was an incredible host quick to respond and full of great local dining suggestions. We had a wonderful stay and can’t wait to book again!

Brandon

What an unforgettable experience at the scenic falls cabin. Beautiful views around. The waterfall is absolutely breathtaking. The cabin itself was completely spotless and had instructions for everything. Nothing was short, the kitchen came fully stocked with plates, silverware, cooking utensils, tea, coffee, hot chocolate, anything you could think of. Heather also messages every step of the way with anything whatsoever and also has a very fast response time to any help you need. Such an amazing stay and I do highly recommend.

Trae

We stayed at Scenic Falls Cabin for a long weekend anniversary getaway, and it was absolutely perfect. Visiting in the winter made it even better with cozy nights by the fire and crisp, peaceful surroundings. The cabin felt very homey and was stocked with everything we needed. Waking up to the sound of the waterfall was a highlight of our stay. We loved starting our mornings with coffee by the water and ending the day relaxing in the hot tub, especially after a drive up to sugar mountain for some skiing. The location felt private and secluded, yet was still close to stores and just a short drive to downtown Sylva for a great dinner. Heather was an amazing host—very responsive and made check-in and check-out easy. She welcomed us with a charcuterie board after a long drive and even had treats for our pup, which was such a thoughtful touch. We would absolutely recommend Scenic Falls Cabin and would definitely stay again.

Jake

Had a lovely trip, the waterfall is such a lovely landmark of the property, would stay again!

Erin

Heather’s cabin was beautiful and exactly as described. If we needed anything Heather was available and responsive. We were close to town and the local Dollar General if we needed anything, although Heather thoughtfully had necessary items at the cabin if anything was forgotten at home. I would 100% stay here again. Private, peaceful, and a great view of the waterfall and mountains.

Rita

Scenic Falls cabin was exactly as described and the perfect place to unplug, relax and recharge. We spent all of our time at the cabin and we all agreed it was the perfect place for the first part of our three part trip. We wanted to be surrounded by nature, secluded, and quiet. This cabin gives all of those things and more. It is rustic feeling but yet beautifully decorated and has all modern amenities, and supplied with everything you would need while there. Hearing the waterfall while outside brings even more peace and tranquility to an already beautiful and peaceful area. Heather, the host, communicated very well and was always available and responsive when a couple of questions came up. 5 out of 5 stars and would definitely come back if traveling in the area. Thanks for sharing your place Heather!

Yanet

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving stay at the cabin! The host was incredibly responsive and kind, making the entire experience smooth and welcoming from start to finish. The cabin itself was beautifully styled—cozy, modern, and thoughtfully decorated—and it had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable holiday getaway. From the fully stocked kitchen to the inviting living spaces, everything was perfect. We would absolutely stay here again!

Hannah

If you’re reading reviews to try and pick a place, you’ve found it. It really is everything it seems to be and the host is a delight. Incredibly thoughtful details, beautiful space and great location. Like really please don’t miss an opportunity to relax and unwind with the healing sound of a waterfall in the background. Heather thinks of everything so you can think of being away from the hustle and bustle.

Anthony

It was a lovely cabin and was very clean. The waterfall was great and we really enjoyed our stay. The cabin was really nicely furnished, well-stocked, and Heather provided some welcome goodies that were much appreciated (including some treats for our dog!). She provided tons of recommendations and we enjoyed each that we went to. Heather was an excellent host. One note, if you're bringing your dog there is a fence for safety, but the property/yard itself is not fully enclosed.

James

This is an incredible cabin and the view is breathtaking. There is lots to enjoy both in town and at the cabin, I had everything I needed. Perfect location. The waterfall is definitely a highlight, it was so serene and peaceful. Heather is a fantastic host and was very helpful, friendly, and responsive. I would love to stay here again!

Elizabeth

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at this lovely cabin. The cabin was cleanest, most well supplied cabin we have ever rented. The privacy and relaxing atmosphere was just want we needed.

Shane

I don’t know where to start with AirBnB’s 1,000 character limit. A bit pricey, but 1010% (not a typo) worth it. All the space I would ever need to bring my family to a great holiday or special occasion event. I didn’t know until I got there but there was a waterfall and picnic area below the cabin, FYI I also didn’t know that four wheel drive is recommended. Given no extreme weather a Honda Accord will make it! Sorry but I did do a birthday suit jump into the waterfall pool. It was refreshing! So those who are reading this, you do have privacy! More to say, appreciate the place, will come back, and I only used 67% of my character limit. ;)

Mark

If I could give 10 stars I would!!! Absolutely beautiful property and hosts were amazing. There was nothing we could have or would have done differently. If you are looking for a getaway in the mountains....you will definitely find it here.

Beth

We loved this little cabin, nice and cozy. The views are spectacular. Hey was great of helping us get massages and recommendations. Check-in and out were very easy. We will return.

Morgan

My Husband and I stayed at Scenic Falls Cabin for our honeymoon retreat, and it was truly unforgettable! From the moment we arrived, Heather went above and beyond to make us feel special. She had fresh flowers, chocolate-covered strawberries, champagne, and even Mr. & Mrs. champagne glasses waiting for us! The cabin itself was phenomenal- immaculately clean, well-stocked, completely private, and with stunning views. One of the highlights was the private waterfall on the property. You could actually hear the relaxing sound of the water from inside the cabin! Heather thought of everything. The kitchen had all the essentials, and the bathrooms were fully stocked with toiletries-she even included extras like toothbrushes, hair spray, deodorant, and combs in case we forgot anything. My husband and I had an outstanding time, and we’re already talking about coming back! Thank you so much! 😊❤️

Christina

We had the most wonderful stay at Heather’s beautiful mountain and waterfall Airbnb. Our Honday CRV did just great on the mountain roads. The house was truly spotless and everything worked perfectly. We cooked the whole time we were there and loved using the kitchen. Heather left us the most considerate welcome gifts and was super responsive, checked in on us, but still gave us the privacy we were looking for. The waterfall is an easy little walk down the driveway and it is truly beautiful. The days were nice and cool and we did cold plunges in the pool below the waterfall! I can’t say enough good things about our stay. It was everything we were looking for in a private mountain retreat and we truly cherished our time there. We are already planning when we can return! Thank you so much!

Gavin

Short weekend getaway for my wife and I. Words can’t describe the experience of this unique property. We spent hours in the pool at the bottom of the waterfall relaxing on our raft. The house itself is cozy, quaint, and exactly as pictured. The yard is a great place to hang out day or night. We’ll definitely be returning to this amazing property!

Tim

First of all the setting, the house, the amenities, the peacefulness, the tranquility, was outstanding and literally breathtaking. But Heather as a host was the best part of it. I certainly do not know if we will ever get to this area again but if we do, this will be where we’re staying. All the nearby towns yielded fantastic restaurants, and kind people. Just what we were looking for. we owe a debt of gratitude to Heather as she was beyond accommodating and helpful. Definitely recommend. My only regret is not being able to stay longer.

Brittany

The cabin is perfect! It was stocked with everything! They even left out a bottle of wine and snacks for us at arrival. The location is very private and has its own large waterfall and swimming hole You can hear the waterfall while sleeping at night too. It was also so magical to swim in and have all to yourself! We hopped from town to town during our stay. Each town was a short 30 minute drive! We will be back!

Veronica

This place was everything you could dream of. Secluded, peaceful, serene. It was literally heaven on earth. Heather made it so inviting for us with wine and a welcome card. She was prompt to ask if everything was as I expected it to be and made it a point to check in with us a couple of times to see if we needed anything . We couldn't have asked for a better experience. My best airbnb thus far!

Olivia

This was, by far, my family’s greatest Airbnb experience! Heather is an exceptional host who went above and beyond to make our trip special. The cabin itself is phenomenal - the location, the privacy, the waterfall … just beyond words! We felt like we were on our own little mountain and made many core memories together as a family! We’ve been home 4 hours and have already started planning our next trip to the cabin!

Madeline

This was hands down one of our favorite stays ever! The house is not only beautiful, but also incredibly cozy. Heather is truly an exceptional host. You can tell how much thought and care went into every little detail, from the personalized guestbook to the thoughtful amenities throughout the home. In our rush to catch a flight, we accidentally left behind our toddler’s toothbrush. We didn’t realize it until after we were all settled in. But sure enough, we found a little drawer stocked with all the essentials people tend to forget. That small touch saved us from loading up the kids and venturing out at night in an unfamiliar town. Total lifesaver! And the waterfall? Absolutely stunning. The entire property feels magical. We’d return in a heartbeat. Thank you again, Heather, for creating such a magical and welcoming space!

Michael

Incredible find. Having our own waterfall made the trip special, we didn’t want to leave. Will absolutely be back to this gem. Would rate it more than 5 stars if I could. Better than photos, super clean, and loved all the surprise amenities. My wife forgot her hair spray and loved that the cabin had some for her. Thank you!
