With close proximity to Bryson City, Cherokee, Nantahala Gorge, Fontana Lake, and a myriad of other attractions, it's the perfect spot for creating cherished memories with your loved ones.

The gated community of The Falls features picturesque paved roads that wind up to breathtaking elevations, boasting incredible vistas. Along the way, you'll encounter two enchanting river rock creeks nestled beneath awe-inspiring waterfalls. While all vehicles are welcome to traverse these paths slowly, motorcyclists are advised to heed caution. Upon arrival, you'll be warmly welcomed by the slumbering Little Bear perched above the front porch. The interior boasts numerous amenities designed to entertain both children and adults. The cozy lower-level recreational room is outfitted with a shuffleboard/bowling table, foosball, and a vintage golf video game perfect for family bonding moments. Outside, delight in the inviting group fire pit area complete with a wood-fired pizza oven – perfect for creating heartwarming memories. Unwind after a day of hiking in the soothing hot tub enveloped by nature.

Entering the main level takes your breath away as expansive windows reveal uninterrupted far-reaching views. Unwind in the welcoming living space featuring a dining table, gas-log fireplace, HD TV, and plush seating perfect for quality family time. The main level also houses a luxurious master bedroom with a king bed and an opulent master bath.

Ascend to find a charmingly decorated loft balcony overlooking the living area below – a perfect nook for reading or a quiet moment. Here you'll discover two twin daybeds for additional sleeping quarters and a quaint work desk if needed. The upper level also offers another generously proportioned king-size bedroom with an adjoining bath.

Fun continues on the basement level where a generous rec room furnished with plush sectional sofa houses an array of entertainment options previously mentioned. Also located here is a third bedroom displaying two twin-over-full bunk beds that can comfortably sleep up to six guests. The nearby expansive bathroom is equipped with charming chalkboard-adorned hooks to effortlessly identify the towels and avoid those family squabbles.

Nice accommodations

House was very nice. Kitchen needs to be better equipped. Basement was great for the kids. Lots of room. Outside trash containers not designed to keep critters out. Drive to the house once in the neighborhood was narrow and winding. Not wide enough to pass another vehicle safely. Would not stay again only because of the road in.

Dangerous road

Road to the house is dangerous to drive especially at night! Guests should be warned that road is narrow, mountain road with lots of twists and turns. Lighting is not adequate for finding the house in the dark. House is very nice and we enjoyed staying there and going to Bryson City for Polar Express.
