Located in Mills River, less than 15 minutes from the famous Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. & the Asheville Regional Airport, this sleek and meticulously designed cabin is the perfect place for a savvy traveler to land and explore all of the exciting things Western North Carolina has to offer. Whether you're visiting on a family vacation, a getaway with close friends, or a couple's retreat, you'll find pastoral charm & modern luxury at this architectural gem.
In the morning, enjoy your coffee on the covered back patio while listening to the tranquil sounds of the waterfall feature in the backyard that lends the cabin its name. After coffee, stroll or bike through the 16 private acres of forest at the property to breathe in the fresh mountain air. When you return, carve out time to work on creative projects at the desk in the bedroom before sitting down to a delicious breakfast at the kitchen bar that includes blueberries from the garden when in season.
After breakfast, make your way to the local stables at Saddle-Up Trail Rides to go on a scenic riding tour through the Pisgah National Forest, or take a 15-minute drive into Hendersonville to play an exciting round of paintball at Wolverine Paintball Park. If you're interested in chasing epic waterfalls travel just 20 min. to the DuPont State Forest. The most well-known among the 3 is the High Falls Loop trail, a 2.2-mile trek that was once the filming location for the first Hunger Games movie & is an absolute must for outdoor and film enthusiasts alike. Beautiful during any season, the spring & summer months provide the perfect weather for rock hopping along the river bank, while the fall & winter months provide natural marvels like color-changing foliage and spectacular ice formations. In the afternoon, cheers to your adventures at a local brewery over some ice-cold brews. At Mills River Brewing Co., listen to live music while soaking up the sun on their outdoor patio & sipping their refreshing Riverside Hefe.
Less than 15 minutes away, you'll find Sideways Farm & Brewery, where you can enjoy a unique artisan farm ale that is bottled & naturally conditioned with local wildflower honey. Blue Ghost Brewing, located less than 5 minutes from the airport, is named after the Blue Ghost Firefly—a native species unique to the southern Appalachian Mountains. Enjoy their LAGA Golden Ale or their Grapefruit IPA year round along with a stadium pretzel or tray of fried brussel sprouts at their Hungry Ghost food truck. End your tour with two of the most well-known breweries in the area—Bold Rock Mills River Cidery & the iconic Sierra Nevada Brewing Company & Taproom. In the evening, grab dinner at Tamarind Thai Cuisine which serves up fresh & traditional Thai plates, Rocky's Hot Chicken Shack which serves up deliriously good fried chicken & soul food, or return home to craft a delicious dinner using the gas grill & extremely well stocked gourmet kitchen.
Enjoy dinner at the hand-crafted live edge dining table inside, or have dinner on the outdoor patio in the backyard on the warmer evenings. After dinner, gather around the cozy fireplace (easily operated with a switch on the wall) & stream a movie on the Smart TV, or gather around the outdoor fire pit to roast s'mores and stargaze to your heart's content. Exceptionally chic & contemporary, the polished features & convenient location of Falling Waters Cabin allow you to enjoy the tranquility of the countryside while lodging in the lap of luxury!

The backyard water feature is not operational December-April or when cooler temperatures are expected.
