Waterfall Farm - Sleeps 16 - Hot Tub, Fire Pit, Barn - 20 min to Asheville

Escape to your own Appalachian sanctuary on 7 private acres. Enjoy a creek, a seasonal 40' waterfall, hot tub, sweeping mountain views, and a 1-mile private trail—all with an easy drive to Lake Lure, Black Mountain, and Asheville. Inside: 5 bedrooms, a large, fully equipped kitchen, and stylish mid-century modern spaces made for family gatherings and relaxed time together.

THE PROPERTY
Big Rock Falls is our 7-acre private mountain retreat—part home, part emerging farm—built right into the side of the mountain so it feels immersed in nature the second you arrive. You'll have the kind of privacy that's hard to find, plus an easy drive to Asheville (and Lake Lure / Black Mountain). The house is two levels: you enter on the main level, then head downstairs to the second level, almost like the home is tucked into the hillside. There are multiple places to spread out with two living rooms (both with pull-out couches), and you'll find TVs throughout, plus toys and kid books so families can actually settle in.

Outside is where people really exhale. There's plenty of open yard/pasture space for kids to run, a fire pit for s'mores, and a hot tub with a view that's especially good at night. Our favorite hangout is the Hammock House—an outdoor lounge space made for naps, cards, and long conversations. And yes, we also have a kid climbing gym to burn off energy.

And then there's the waterfall. Big Rock Falls is a private, seasonal ~40' waterfall on the property. Important note: it's seasonal and intermittent—in dry stretches it can run dry, and after storms it can run so hard you may hear it from the house. It's a wild, natural feature—beautiful to visit, but not something to climb on or approach closely. Please follow posted signage and treat it like you would in a state park.

SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
The home comfortably hosts big family groups with flexible sleeping options: The Primary (Master) has a king bed plus a fold-out twin chair. The Yellow Room has a queen bed + crib. The Green Room has one queen. The Blue Room has two queens plus a portable wooden crib on wheels. The Floral Bunk Room has a full bed plus a full/twin bunk—it's an interior room with no window, with architectural cutouts and a curtain (it does have a door). The storage area off that room includes several air mattresses.

This place is ideal for family reunions, holidays, cookouts, stargazing, hiking, and slow mornings—and it also works great for a quiet team offsite that wants nature without losing convenience.

GUEST ACCESS
Full access to everything except 2 locked owners closets and the locked garage and barn. Note: 4-wheel drive required—no exceptions—in ice, snow or other winter conditions.

INTERACTION WITH GUESTS
