Beautiful waterfall views & Highlands Architect. Like nothing you've ever seen!

Come and enjoy nature with 90+ acres to roam with paths for long walks. Architect James Fox designed this cliff side home overlooking the beautiful Longnose Waterfall. Feel like you are in the trees, in an area that remains much as it was when inhabited by Cherokee Indians. The stream below Longnose Falls feeds into Lake Hartwell and can be a refreshing swimming spot in the summer months. Enjoy the peaceful sounds of the waterfall as you cozy by the fire to read or play games. On the weekends in warmer months and holidays you may see kayaks, jet skis, and small boats visit the falls. This property is in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. The architecture is much like Frank Lloyd Wright. The house is a unique blend of angles and windows to give you a beautiful view from anywhere in the house. The bedrooms provide breathtaking views of the waterfall and the surrounding forest. You can even view the waterfall from the oversized walk in shower.
This house is perfect for a couple or 4 adults to unwind and unplug. This house is not ideal for younger kids as there are multiple steps leading down from the front door to the living area then again to the bathroom and bedrooms.

A few house rules to note:
1) Please take your shoes off just after entering the house. This helps keep the place clean for everyone.
2) Unfortunately windows have been left open during rain storms and with air running, so the cranks have been removed from all windows to preserve the wooden interior of the home. Enjoy the house and outdoor feel without opening the windows. You can hear the waterfall even with the windows closed and there are 3 double doors facing the waterfall that lead to the deck that overlooks the falls.
3) Do not drive past the beginning of the 300 foot pathway that leads to the house. We have provided a rolling cart for your luggage and the pathway has lights, but if you plan to arrive after dark we do recommend having a flashlight for ease of unloading luggage.
4) The grill's charcoal is located in a plastic bin on the porch beside the grill and does not require lighter fluid. At the fireplace, there are fire starters. We've had guests use lighter fluid inside the house and this is dangerous, do NOT use lighter fluid inside the house. Thank you for your understanding.
5) This is a smoke free and pet-free home.
6) Burn only kiln-dried wood in the indoor fireplace- we provide one bundle of wood on the front porch.

We look forward to sharing this beautifully unique home with you!

Little known place to get away
This was our second time at this beautiful getaway home. Outstanding architecture and peaceful surroundings. We did have some visitors at the falls as we were there during the July 4th week, but that would be expected on a a summer holiday. They were at the bottom of the falls and did not bother anyone. If you need to get away from it all, this is the place to do it!

Incredible getaway!
My husband, son and I stayed at the Waterfall house for our second time. My son picked the destination for his spring break b/c he loves it so much! Lots of family time, nature hikes, movies, board games. The property is absolutely as advertised and a true gem.

Amazing place to reconnect
We made this a 2 day part of our end of summer road trip with our teenage children and it couldn't have been more perfect. Theres no WIFI and very limited cell service so during the rain or at night, puzzles were put together, board games played and lots and lots of talking. The views and having basically your own private waterfall just top it off as well as falling asleep to the the sound of the falls as night. Amazing!!

This was such a lovely unique home, like a treehouse in the woods, with amazing views. It was well supplied with everything we needed. Our family enjoyed our adventures including hiking, swimming by the waterfall, and kayaking. Thank you for allowing us to experience this wonderful place.

Simply wow! Awesome, unique experience
Coming from Asheville, NC, we are very familiar with Pisgah and all the amazing things it’s has to offer. This house feels like it was plopped next to a waterfall that normally would take you hours to get to. Feels like Pisgah. It’s f*ing amazing. You can setup chairs in the rapids above the falls next to the fire pit. There is a path down to the falls and it’s a great swimming hole. Going down there to swim is an absolute must. The owner warned of increased activity during a holiday weekend, and that was appreciated. It wasn’t terrible. Numerous groups came and went. It’s nature, it’s beautiful, it’s impossible to always have it to yourself! We stayed July 4th weekend, but came home on the 3rd. I’m sure the 3rd and 4th would be very busy. Overall? Fantastic. Perfect place for a couple nights. And remember to get up close to the base if the falls! You’ll regret it if you don’t.

This is a beyond WOW property!
This home and property exceeded our wildest expectations! As great as the pictures are … they do not come close to the WOW you feel from the moment you park your car. The house is a masterpiece of construction, design and carpentry. It is well maintained, very comfortable and we had everything we needed. Just beyond the floor to ceiling glass is a magnificent waterfall and enchanting, private woodlands to explore. If you are looking for a once-in-a-lifetime VRBO experience this is it!

A Sister Retreat in an Enchanted Forest
Exceeded all expectations! Favorites- the mist rising all around in the early morning, being able to walk across the stream and submerge into the power waterfall, walking toward the glowing amazing house along the uniquely lit winding path just after dusk and a pink sunset. Not seeing another person.

Unique experience
Our third stay, need I say more. If you love architecture, you will find no rental place more fascinating. It is an architectural wonder! Add a major waterfall and what else does one need? No wifi, no cable - perfect. We arrived with all of our food and didn't start the car again until we left 8 days later. Forget going out to dinner as there is nothing much even remotely close. Enjoy cooking something special.
