I stayed at the cottage for two weeks. This was an ideal place for me: close to nature, but not far from modern conveniences (grocery, laundromat, etc.). Liz and Jason were excellent hosts and obviously put a lot of thought and effort into preparing the property. Loved the proximity to the babbling brook and the setting under the trees. There were little notes throughout the cottage to guide guests on how to use the various conveniences. The convection cooking appliances were cool, literally and figuratively. AC worked well, though I did not use it much as the mountain temps and humidity were much lower than where I live on the western shore of southern MD. I would definitely stay here again in the future.
The cottage has such a great vibe about it. You can hear the babbling brook that is like 10 ft away from the bed if you open a window. It’s quite remote, but great for some b quiet time or bonding with your sweetie.
We enjoyed our stay so much that we are ready to return. The cabin was clean and cozy and picturesque. We had everything we needed and our host Liz was close by and was super friendly.
Liz & Jason we’re the consummate hosts and the property was magical. Check in was a breeze & we were so comfortable right from the start. The cottage is incredible and falling asleep to the creek sounds every night was so relaxing. We would absolutely recommend it & hope to be back!

Waterfall Cottage is truly unique in its rustic elegance and surroundings. Two creeks converge behind the cottage and there is a delightful sitting bench right next to our little waterfall. Hear the sound of a flowing creek as you sleep and take in the view off the back deck over morning coffee (locally roasted right in Black Mountain). In addition to the beautiful surroundings, guests have reported that they love all of the small touches as well as having everything needed for a comfortable, easy stay We do find that this space is best suited for individuals or couples looking for a relaxing getaway in the mountains.
