"We were blown away. This place is the perfect combination of luxury and nature. Kind of like your own private spa up in the mountains. The sauna and hot tub are divine!!! We were extremely cozy with the fireplaces inside." (Cate)
Hello, I'm Michael the owner and Host, and I've poured my soul into creating Nature Falls- a sanctuary where couples or families escape and find a very private setting where luxury meets nature.
Nestled nearly 4,000 feet elevation, our 2.5-acre Smoky Mountain private oasis is a symphony of nature's finest, ready to play the backdrop to your romantic or family reconnections.
"Michael’s home was the setting we chose to elope. It was PERFECT. We had an intimate ceremony at the waterfall. The peace and natural beauty that this home offered was exactly what we were looking for. The home is immaculate, we just can’t say enough about it." (Karen)
A Breath of Smoky Mountain Air:
* Wake up to the Great Smoky Mountains and the sounds of waterfalls
* Stroll down the pathway lined with mountain laurels to your private babbling creek
* Indulge in the purity of Eagle Nest Mountain's crisp air
The day at Nature Falls starts with the sun stretching over grand peaks, as you're serenaded by the cascades' gentle rhythm.
And while adventure calls all around the greater Asheville area, just a stone's throw away, the embrace of our oasis often entices guests to simply bask in the here and now.
“This is a great place to truly remove yourself from day to day life and just relax. It’s very easy to stay at the house without feeling the want or need to go out on the town. Such a nice & unique property!” (Logan)
As dusk settles, the stars emerge as does the spotlights on the cascading creek. The hot tub's bubbles rise, mingling with the laughter and whispers of making memories.
And for those moments of pure bliss, a brief reprieve in the barrel sauna, and perhaps an end-of-the-day outdoor (seasonal) hot water shower will add more memories beneath the moon's gaze.
"Absolutely amazing place! It literally has EVERYTHING you need to create wonderful memories. The level of detail Michael has taken inside and out compares to no one." (Terri)
"This isn't just a luxury retreat; it's an intimate journey tailored for those who cherish the mountains, the dance of water, and the enduring sparks of human connection.
Are you ready for this idyllic escape where every corner, every view, every moment is an opportunity to deepen your bond in the splendor of the Smoky Mountains?
"Our stay at Nature Falls, was absolutely enchanting. The sight and sound of the cascading waterfall infused our days with tranquility and wonder, while the cozy outdoor fireplace provided the perfect backdrop for evening gatherings and s'mores under the stars.” (Shane)
Your Enchanted Escape Awaits:
Secluded octagon treehouse, perched next to the waterfalls...
Barrel sauna rests on the patio for your pleasure...
Large hot tub is ready after a day hike, or just "because..."
Fire pit and pizza oven next to the creek...
Candlelit dinners by the waterfalls and creek are ready with a teak wood dining table three steps below the firepit...
Hot water outdoor shower (seasonal) shaded from the world...
Two fireplaces- wood stove in upstairs den and gas one in the downstairs den...
Gas grill and classic Weber charcoal grill- you choose...
Infiniti Game Table in front of fireplace...
7-foot shuffleboard table and "wall" chess awaits...
And much more... smart TV in every room, blanket warmers, espresso machine... most anything you need for the chef.
"I have been a host of Airbnb since its inception and stayed at many across the US and abroad. By far, this is the most well appointed and impeccably furnished places I have seen. The location is quite remarkable and unique." (Adam)
"Whether it's unwinding in the sauna or soaking in the hot tub while admiring the natural beauty surrounding you, there's something for everyone to enjoy.” (Daren)
"Michael’s place was the best we have experienced yet. It was even better than the photos showed." (Paul)
"Michael's place is hands down the best Airbnb experience I've ever had.” (Yakov)

ABOUT
I'm the owner and the host of Nature Falls. I put my heart and soul (and 9 months renovating) creating what I believe you will find to be an extraordinary luxury, couples mountain retreat, but it's really suitable for all to enjoy... deepening relationships or reconnecting with loved ones.
It was love at first sight when I saw the backyard with cascading waterfalls a stone's throw from the house. I built out a private luxury retreat where truly nature meets luxury.
Nature Falls is a very private setting, and whether it's hanging out in the treehouse, chilling in the hot tub, or enjoying the sauna after hiking on a cold day, you've got everything you want for mountain luxury, while being surrounded by the sights and sounds of the mountains.
For me, Nature Falls is the ultimate ideal of combining luxury with nature in a very private romantic mountain setting. I hope you choose to experience it, and you will love it as much as I do (at least for a few days or so).

I have been a host of Airbnb since its inception and stayed at many across the US and aboard. By far, this is the most well appointed and impeccably furnished places I have seen. The location is quite remarkable and unique. It’s a bit of a steep drive up, but the paved roads make it very easy. You can literally enjoy your own waterfall up close and personal while still feeling like you’re at a 5 star resort. The house was beautiful and spotless with amazing views in every direction. Michael has thought of everything for his guests! I can’t recommend this place highly enough and hopefully it will be available next time we want to get back to nature!
-Adam, Apr'24
Our stay at this Airbnb was nothing short of magical! Nestled in the heart of nature, the location is perfect for a serene getaway. The amenities exceeded our expectations, with the sauna being an absolute favorite—perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration. The property itself is stunning, offering multiple cozy seating areas, including a charming treehouse with waterfall/creek sounds in the background. The fire pit was the perfect spot for evening gatherings under the stars. If you're looking for a peaceful retreat with all the comforts of home, this place is a dream come true!
-David, Sept '24
I am truly grateful to find such a sacred magical home that is pet friendly. Infinite attention to detail! Our dogs loved exploring the property with us and getting a drink from the Nature Falls private waterfall. We enjoyed cooking breakfast and dinner in the amazing kitchen and grilling on the upper deck! The weather was amazing so all meals were enjoyed immersed in nature. The scenic drives to local hiking, waterfalls and 4X4 adventures were out of this world for us and our 2 dogs! We recharged with the hot tub, sauna and outdoor showers. ***Highlight of the trip was seeing momma bear and her 5 cubs our last night before heading back home.
-Danelle, August ‘24
An awesome home in the mountains that delivered an experience that went well beyond our expectations! The photos and descriptions do not do it justice! This place is truly magical, and I can’t wait to return. Five stars all the way!
-Jason, August ‘24
Wow. Just wow... An oasis tucked into a mountain. From the breathtaking outdoor landscaping to the relaxing amenities and the many, many thoughtful touches inside we felt like we never wanted to leave. So many things to do here on this property we didn’t know which to choose first. Already looking to book this place again. Michael did an amazing job in turning his place into an absolute mountain paradise.
-Nikki, July ‘24
Michael was a fantastic host. He was extremely responsive, and the home and property was breathtaking. Michael carefully put thought into every detail of the accommodations from cooking utensils to supplies to making sure our stay felt like home. We can’t wait to come back.
-Bridgette, August '24
Our stay at Nature Falls, was absolutely enchanting. The sight and sound of the cascading waterfall infused our days with tranquility and wonder, while the cozy outdoor fireplace provided the perfect backdrop for evening gatherings and s'mores under the stars. Every corner of the property exuded a sense of thoughtful design and attention to detail, from the impeccably comfortable beds to the well-appointed kitchen that catered to every need. They even had a special ice maker! We planned to spend more time in Asheville but enjoyed the home so much, nobody wanted to leave. It was evident that Michael had poured his heart into creating a space where guests could unwind and create lasting memories, which we certainly did! Michael was incredibly responsive and accommodating, ensuring that our stay was seamless and enjoyable from start to finish. Without hesitation, we highly recommend Nature Falls to anyone especially with children!

Michael was the most gracious host! The house was immaculate! The waterfalls and outdoor areas are beyond words! My new wife and I spent our honeymoon at this beautiful paradise, and we will definitely be back again!
-Tripp, June '24
Nature Falls owner Michael is the most organized and communicative owner we ever dealt with. His attention to the comfort of his guests was greatly appreciated by us. Also, the sparkling clean hot tub, oils for the sauna, and fire wood were enjoyed by all the guests (not to mention smores, ground coffee, K cups, and ice maker)! Thank you Michael for a great week!
Mitch, September'24
-Tripp, June '24
The ultimate treehouse experience! You will be surrounded by tall, majestic trees with a natural flowing waterfall. Breathe in the fresh mountain air, enjoy the hot tub and sauna after a hike, listen to the wind rustling the tree leaves; this home is a nature lovers paradise. Michael is a fabulous host and this home will exceed your expectations!
-Luann Aug '24
Every single part of this BNB was perfect, the reviews are true you will not want to or need to leave because this property was so spectacular. The owner was so kind, helpful, and understanding and you can really tell this home is a passion project. It was a perfect vacation thanks to everything at this house and the beautiful views and woods, it truly felt like a fairytale and my whole family had a wonderful time.
-Brian, Aug '24
We had the absolute best time with our group of 5! This place feels like a mountain resort and spa. Between the waterfall, sauna, and hot tub it’s truly a magical place. Each night we made a delicious meal and relaxed by the fire or played games together in the downstairs area! We wish we had one more day to just relax at the house it’s truly so wonderful!
-Lauren, June '24
AWESOME EXPERIENCE. The house had more features/appointments than any other place we have stayed. Everything throughout the house was labeled so there was no guessing where things were or how to use them. Keurig K-cups & or pot and espresso machine and ice machine was very welcomed. The property is gorgeous, private and relaxing. There were days that we didn’t leave because we were enjoying the property so much. The waterfall is beautiful and is even lit for evening viewings. Michael was in contact with us before and during the stay checking to see how we were doing. His digital guestbook with suggestions for restaurants and places to visit was very useful. We are looking forward to coming back here again.
-Rick, June ‘24
Absolutely amazing place! It literally has EVERYTHING you need to create wonderful memories. The level of detail Michael has taken inside and out compares to no one. We enjoyed the adventure of doing our very own pizza in the pizza oven and spent every morning and evening in porch. My daily journaling took place next to the waterfall that is on property. The view and sound of that waterfall was soothing for the soul! Let’s not overlook the welcome tray, from wine, chocolates, coffee and chips with salsa! Again, the attention to detail was exceptional!!! Michael, your restaurant recommendations were all amazing and Frankie’s Italian gave us, at least, 5 extra pounds to take home with us. We have made beautiful memories at your place. You have taking hosting to a new level! We hope to be able to make it back soon! 5 stars does not do this place justice!!!
-Terri, Apr'24
OMG! I can’t say enough about what an incredible place this is with such an amazing host! Just go ahead and stop at one of the nearby grocery stores on your way because you will not want to leave after you arrive. Such an awesome place to relax and unwind in a pristine clean and beautiful home. Sooo many extra features inside and outside. And that waterfall …. AHHH! Michael was truly one of the most responsive, helpful hosts I’ve ever dealt with. There’s just not enough space here to describe how wonderful his place is! Just book it and go!
Wanda, July ‘24
Michael's home is an incredible place to get away from it all and enjoy nature. The house itself is as described and as pictured on the listing. It was great for our group of five (three adults and two children). The kids loved the game table and shuffleboard. The outdoor area is really what sets this place apart. No other homes in sight, other than one up the hill aways that is barely visible from certain angles/when coming up the driveway. Our family really enjoyed playing in the creek and the hot tub and multiple seating areas outside. Even with the weather getting close to 90 degrees, the heavily forested lot and higher elevation (compared to the heat experienced in some day trips to Asheville) help keep the area cool. Asheville is a quick 30-35 minute drive. The kids loved seeing deer and wild turkeys on our way up and down the mountain as well. Thanks Michael!
Eric, July ‘24
Nature Falls was the perfect home to meet all of our needs - - the property was private, yet close to town and within 45 minutes of planned experiences (Black Balsam Knob, Sam Knob Summit, Graveyard Fields, The Biltmore House, to name a few). The property itself was an experience and had a surprise everywhere you turned (towel and blanket warmers, kitchen gadgets, gaming table, etc.)! Michael has put much thought into welcoming guests like our family and we throughly enjoyed our stay. Michael was a very responsive and proactive host and made our stay a delight. We are excited to plan our next trip back.
Cynthia, July ‘24
Amazing property. The house is very well equipped, and the outdoor space and amenities make you feel you're in a private resort. Location is perfect if you're looking for a private and peaceful place in the mountains. Yet very close to grocery stores and restaurants. This is by far the best place we stayed in. Michael is a wonderful host. He went above and beyond to make sure our family, dog included, enjoyed our stay. Laura, July ‘24
Everything is rated a 10 from beginning to end! We could not be any more satisfied. We will be back. Thank you for a great time in your lovely home.
Brog, July ‘24
If you are here reading reviews, do not hesitate to book, as this home is simply amazing!! The most unique and well appointed home we have ever stayed in!! Bring a book, and plan to enjoy the trickle of the waterfall. You will not want to leave! Michael is an awesome host who made us feel so welcome into the home. Thank you!!!
Jason, June '24
To say it in a few words: the BEST cabin we've ever stayed at! Michael really went above and beyond with this space. The entire place feels like your own private resort. From the location, ammenities, views to the little details that really made our stay SO EASY! He even left our dogs a toy upon arrival and they had a BLAST. Thank you for everything, Michael!!! We will be back!!
-Shannon, Mar '24
We had the most wonderful time at Michael’s place! Our goal was to relax with our two pups and enjoy some good food, wine, and hiking! We did just that and Michael set us up for success, it is truly a magical place and I highly recommend staying there. The amenities are second to none as was Michael’s attention to details with us staying there! We cannot wait to go back!
-Todd, May '24
Hands down the best-appointed private home we have ever stayed at. It was clean, comfortable and so peaceful. Michael was very communicative and helpful. So good we are booking again for the Fall!
Paul-Sherri, May ‘24
This was our favorite airbnb that we’ve experienced in the US. Better than the pictures, impeccably designed, so peaceful and calming, the waterfall is amazing — We loved every single thing about it.
-Robb, Apr '24
We frequently stay at Airbnb’s when we travel and I have never left a review. Michael is the best host we have ever had - he is incredibly thoughtful and made our stay the best experience. The property is incredible - from the view, to the every amenity provided and the quality craftsmanship put into the entire property and house. We have decided to make it a new family vacation spot and have already shared the property information with friends! You will not regret your decision if you book this property!!!
-Mary, Mar '24
What a beautiful, serene home to enjoy catching up with my daughters! We enjoyed the property with the hot tub and sauna, sat by the waterfall in comfy chairs, built a cozy fire and slept like queens in the luxurious beds… extra bonus was that their two pups were welcome to come with us! Michael is a thoughtful and responsive host who added extra touches to ensure our stay was special - hope to come again!
-Tracy, Mar '24
This place is the best Air BnB I’ve stayed at. The location was amazing and peaceful. Awesome experience.
Sam, March '24
Amazing place could spend a week or longer at this amazing location! Will be back for a longer stay next time so much to at this location did not want to even leave to go to store! Views incredible at the property of the mountains and views of the waterfall incredible!
-Jessica, Feb '24
First off, Michael was an excellent host. Prior to booking, throughout our stay, and after we checked out, he was one of the most responsive host I’ve encountered! The place did not disappoint! It was easy to find and just minutes from downtown Waynesville for convenience to stores, grocery etc. The cabin and property were maintained and near flawless. Not one rock or pebble out of place! We spent most time outdoors near the stream onsite and the firepit, which came stocked with wood! And the hot tub and sauna were amazing, and everything seemed brand new! Inside everything was completely stocked, from toiletries, spices and kitchen, utilities, even items for s’more’s. And we loved the crushed ice machine and towel warmer! We will come back next year!

We loved everything about this property & the outstanding service from Michael. Everything was clean & well maintained. We loved using the heated towel/blanket baskets, heated bathroom floor, pellet ice maker, & stocked coffee bar. There was plenty of hot water for steamy showers. The extra hot tub towels were a nice touch. The wood burning fireplace/stove was prepped & ready for a fire & kept the home a toasty 78 when it was 30 degrees outside. Michael even went the extra mile by surprising us with some locally made welcome goodies. I had some additional snacks delivered from Instacart easily. The outdoor area is obviously special compared to typical rental properties & looks like a lot of effort was made to allow guests to enjoy the property all year round. We went to Cataloochee to ski during the day & thawed out our sore bodies in the hot tub at night. Stop looking for anything better because you've found the best!

This was an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING place, so was Michael!. Perfect place for Peacefulness, A Romantic Getaway or for Hiking Enthusiasts. It was not only clean to a level of Obsession but also very well maintained, thought every little details and accommodate everything. The Jakuzii and The Sauna was very clean and well maintained. 2 floor home was in exquisite shape with big screen TVs in every rooms, comfortable beds and furniture, 2 fireplaces one with real wood and one with gas, great size kitchen, well organized and labeled, an outdoor Barbeque area even an outdoor pizza oven!. Michael was a great guy responding to the questions right away, extremely courteous, friendly and accommodating. He was also very flexible with check-in and check-out. Overall it was a great experience and the place worth every dime you spend whether for a romantic getaway with your loved one or a family vacation to create memories. We'll definitely go there again. Thank you so much for everything Michael!!..
-Shai, Dec '23
WOW! We had the honor of being Michael’s first guests. He went above and beyond to prepare the space for us and our pup. We were blown away. This place is the perfect combination of luxury and nature. Kind of like your own private spa up in the mountains. The sauna and hot tub are divine!!! And don’t forget the beautiful tub in the master bath and a towel warmer - such a treat! We were extremely cozy with the fireplaces inside. The kitchen is the best stocked Airbnb kitchen I’ve ever seen. We were here over Christmas and did a ton of cooking and had more than what we needed. Bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen - everything was spotless. There’s an abundance of outdoor living space to really soak up the nature. Michael was extremely friendly and responsive before, during and after our stay. I would highly recommend this spot if you are looking for a relaxing getaway - it is perfection. Thank you Michael!!
-Cate, Dec '23
“Wow! Just amazing! I cannot come up with enough words to describe the beauty of this place. Absolutely pristine natural surroundings enhanced by the thoughtful placement of seating and comfortable areas to enjoy the outdoors. The waterfall is the star but, the views, trees and flowers are breathtakingly beautiful, as well. The house is so well appointed, cozy and impeccably clean. Michael, our host, was so accommodating and helpful. As we were traveling with our dog, he provided dog blankets, towels, wipes and even treats. We were welcomed with people treats, too! All of Michael’s recommendations for activities and restaurants etc. were spot on. The house is super close to town and convenient to many beautiful sights yet you feel completely secluded. We cannot wait to return! Location, host, surroundings were a 10/10!”
-Julie, May ‘24
The place was perfection! It was a last minute planned grandma/mom/daughter trip and each of us enjoyed every bit of it! The place was exactly as describe and Michael went above and beyond with accommodations and goodies and just made us feel right at home. I am already trying to figure out when I can come again!
-Jessica, Apr '24
We can’t say enough great things about our stay at Nature Falls. Michael was great and his place had everything you could want. We brought our dog and he even had everything she would need. Great location and the hiking was wonderful. The little town of Waynesville is perfect too! We hope to be back soon!
-Amy, Apr '24
It was so perfect future stays are a definite. The little touches like towel warmers, and welcome treats made it so inviting. After great consideration we decided not to become squatters although we could have been happy forever.
-Mike, Apr '24
Such a beautiful location with all the amenities needed and super cool extras! It was hard to leave! Host was fabulous as well. We hope to visit again.
Liz, May, '24
This is a great place to truly remove yourself from day to day life and just relax. It’s very easy to stay at the house without feeling the want or need to go out on the town. Such a nice & unique property!
-Logan, Apr '24
It’s a steep narrow climb, surprising at first but doable, to this beautiful private amazing breathtaking sanctuary! It truly makes you feel like you are on vacation not just another rental. Michael is very detail oriented and has thought of everything. We felt very welcomed by the collection of food and drink basket on the counter… especially the Biltmore wine and chocolates. There is something so special and soothing listening to and viewing the waterfall on the property. We slept with the window open and could hear it as we went to sleep. A very memorable stay!
Caroline, Apr '24
The entertainment options both indoors and outdoors ensure that there's never a dull moment. Whether it's unwinding in the sauna or soaking in the hot tub while admiring the natural beauty surrounding you, there's something for everyone to enjoy. What truly sets Nature Falls apart are the thoughtful touches that Michael has added to elevate the experience. From the standalone pellet ice maker to the cozy towel and blanket warmers, every detail has been carefully curated to ensure maximum comfort and convenience. Despite feeling like a secluded oasis, Nature Falls is conveniently located close enough to town for dining options, although you may find it hard to tear yourself away from the comforts of the home. Overall, Nature Falls offers an unparalleled combination of scenic beauty, family entertainment, and luxurious amenities, making it the perfect destination for families seeking a rejuvenating getaway.
-Darin, Mar '24
Great place, great property, and great communication. Highly recommended, and as advertised.
-Kevin, Mar '24
Michael's place is hands down the best Airbnb experience I've ever had. From the moment we booked the place to the moment we checked out we felt welcomed and cared for. The house and property is immaculate and feels loved and lived in. We treated it like our own and my hope is that the future guests do the same! Thank you Michael
-Yakov, Mar '24
Nature Falls is a beautiful home in the woods with spectacular views. The house is private where you feel like you’re all alone but it’s not too far from civilization, cell service was good, and places deliver. We door dashed dinner one night. We definitely liked all the cozy touches where you felt like you were right at home. The couches were comfortable, had lots of blankets and pillows. The upstairs king bed slept great. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook. Highly recommended!
-Kim, Feb '24
Michael’s hospitality was unrivaled and the property exceeded all expectations! This was by far the best Airbnb experience any of us have ever had. The photos do not do the beauty of Nature Falls justice. From the sauna and hot tub to the fire pit and amazing views, it was like having a private resort all to ourselves. From the welcome basket to the labeled cabinets, Michael’s attention to detail was evident around every corner. I cannot say enough good things about our stay! There is something special about Nature Falls.
-Jesse, Feb, '24
Michael’s cabin will have you feeling right at home. We loved our stay and our family definitely wants to plan another visit in the warmer months to truly be able to enjoy the property. We were able to enjoy a snow filled weekend and everything was beautiful. Michael is a great host and super easy to communicate with. His property is definitely unique and perfect for our family.
-Josh, Jan '24
Michael’s place was the best we have experienced yet. It was even better than the photos showed. Michael was very proactive and helpful. The outside was beautiful and the inside was clean and fun for the kids. We will be staying here again for sure!
-Paul, Jan '24
Incredible views, extremely clean and well put together. Highly recommended.
-Tina, Jan '24
Our stay at Michael's place was wonderful! It was squeaky clean and smelled wonderfully when we came in. We were greeted with a bunch of free treats, (wine, snacks, breakfasts, etc.)! Also, our dogs were supplied brand new toys! The amenities all worked great with no trouble. The outdoors was beautiful and blissful (the view during the day was beautiful, but one of my favorite parts was also the nighttime city view!) Michael went above and beyond to provide a great stay and was very responsive and helpful. Definitely will stay here again! Can't recommend this cozy, beautiful cabin enough!

Absolutely amazing place! It literally has EVERYTHING you need to create wonderful memories. The level of detail Michael has taken inside and out compares to no one. We enjoyed the adventure of doing our very own pizza in the pizza oven and spent every morning and evening in porch. My daily journaling took place next to the waterfall that is on property. The view and sound of that waterfall was soothing for the soul! Let’s not overlook the welcome tray, from wine, chocolates, coffee and chips with salsa! Again, the attention to detail was exceptional!!! Michael, your restaurant recommendations were all amazing and Frankie’s Italian gave us, at least, 5 extra pounds to take home with us. We have made beautiful memories at your place. You have taking hosting to a new level! We hope to be able to make it back soon! 5 stars does not do this place justice!!!

If you are here reading reviews, do not hesitate to book, as this home is simply amazing!! The most unique and well appointed home we have ever stayed in!! Bring a book, and plan to enjoy the trickle of the waterfall. You will not want to leave! Michael is an awesome host who made us feel so welcome into the home. Thank you!!!
Jason, June '24
To say it in a few words: the BEST cabin we've ever stayed at! Michael really went above and beyond with this space. The entire place feels like your own private resort. From the location, ammenities, views to the little details that really made our stay SO EASY! He even left our dogs a toy upon arrival and they had a BLAST. Thank you for everything, Michael!!! We will be back!!

Nature Falls was the perfect home to meet all of our needs - - the property was private, yet close to town and within 45 minutes of planned experiences (Black Balsam Knob, Sam Knob Summit, Graveyard Fields, The Biltmore House, to name a few). The property itself was an experience and had a surprise everywhere you turned (towel and blanket warmers, kitchen gadgets, gaming table, etc.)! Michael has put much thought into welcoming guests like our family and we throughly enjoyed our stay. Michael was a very responsive and proactive host and made our stay a delight. We are excited to plan our next trip back.
-Cynthia, July '24
We had the most wonderful time at Michael’s place! Our goal was to relax with our two pups and enjoy some good food, wine, and hiking! We did just that and Michael set us up for success, it is truly a magical place and I highly recommend staying there. The amenities are second to none as was Michael’s attention to details with us staying there! We cannot wait to go back!
-Todd, May '24
Hands down the best-appointed private home we have ever stayed at. It was clean, comfortable and so peaceful. Michael was very communicative and helpful. So good we are booking again for the Fall!
Paul-Sherri, May ‘24
This was our favorite airbnb that we’ve experienced in the US. Better than the pictures, impeccably designed, so peaceful and calming, the waterfall is amazing — We loved every single thing about it.
-Robb, Apr '24
We frequently stay at Airbnb’s when we travel and I have never left a review. Michael is the best host we have ever had - he is incredibly thoughtful and made our stay the best experience. The property is incredible - from the view, to the every amenity provided and the quality craftsmanship put into the entire property and house. We have decided to make it a new family vacation spot and have already shared the property information with friends! You will not regret your decision if you book this property!!!
-Mary, Mar '24
This place is the best Air BnB I’ve stayed at. The location was amazing and peaceful. Awesome experience.
-Sam
First off, Michael was an excellent host. Prior to booking, throughout our stay, and after we checked out, he was one of the most responsive host I’ve encountered! The place did not disappoint! It was easy to find and just minutes from downtown Waynesville for convenience to stores, grocery etc. The cabin and property were maintained and near flawless. Not one rock or pebble out of place! We spent most time outdoors near the stream onsite and the firepit, which came stocked with wood! And the hot tub and sauna were amazing, and everything seemed brand new! Inside everything was completely stocked, from toiletries, spices and kitchen, utilities, even items for s’more’s. And we loved the crushed ice machine and towel warmer! We will come back next year!
-Kevin, Feb '24
Michael’s cabin will have you feeling right at home. We loved our stay and our family definitely wants to plan another visit in the warmer months to truly be able to enjoy the property. We were able to enjoy a snow filled weekend and everything was beautiful. Michael is a great host and super easy to communicate with. His property is definitely unique and perfect for our family.
Josh, January '24
Michael’s place was the best we have experienced yet. It was even better than the photos showed. Michael was very proactive and helpful. The outside was beautiful and the inside was clean and fun for the kids. We will be staying here again for sure!
-Paul, Jan '24
Our stay at Michael's place was wonderful! It was squeaky clean and smelled wonderfully when we came in. We were greeted with a bunch of free treats, (wine, snacks, breakfasts, etc.)! Also, our dogs were supplied brand new toys! The amenities all worked great with no trouble. The outdoors was beautiful and blissful (the view during the day was beautiful, but one of my favorite parts was also the nighttime city view!) Michael went above and beyond to provide a great stay and was very responsive and helpful. Definitely will stay here again! Can't recommend this cozy, beautiful cabin enough!
-Cheri, Jan '24
Incredible views, extremely clean and well put together. Highly recommended.
-Tina, Jan '24
This was an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING place, so was Michael!. Perfect place for Peacefulness, A Romantic Getaway or for Hiking Enthusiasts. It was not only clean to a level of Obsession but also very well maintained, thought every little details and accommodate everything. The Jakuzii and The Sauna was very clean and well maintained. 2 floor home was in exquisite shape with big screen TVs in every rooms, comfortable beds and furniture, 2 fireplaces one with real wood and one with gas, great size kitchen, well organized and labeled, an outdoor Barbeque area even an outdoor pizza oven!. Michael was a great guy responding to the questions right away, extremely courteous, friendly and accommodating. He was also very flexible with check-in and check-out. Overall it was a great experience and the place worth every dime you spend whether for a romantic getaway with your loved one or a family vacation to create memories. We'll definitely go there again. Thank you so much for everything Michael!!..
-Shai, Dec '23
WOW! We had the honor of being Michael’s first guests. He went above and beyond to prepare the space for us and our pup. We were blown away. This place is the perfect combination of luxury and nature. Kind of like your own private spa up in the mountains. The sauna and hot tub are divine!!! And don’t forget the beautiful tub in the master bath and a towel warmer - such a treat! We were extremely cozy with the fireplaces inside. The kitchen is the best stocked Airbnb kitchen I’ve ever seen. We were here over Christmas and did a ton of cooking and had more than what we needed. Bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen - everything was spotless. There’s an abundance of outdoor living space to really soak up the nature. Michael was extremely friendly and responsive before, during and after our stay. I would highly recommend this spot if you are looking for a relaxing getaway - it is perfection. Thank you Michael!!
-Cate, Dec '23
I have been a host of Airbnb since its inception and stayed at many across the US and aboard. By far, this is the most well-appointed and impeccably furnished places I have seen. The location is quite remarkable and unique. It’s a bit of a steep drive up, but the paved roads make it very easy. You can literally enjoy your own waterfall up close and personal while still feeling like you’re at a 5-star resort. The house was beautiful and spotless with amazing views in every direction. Michael has thought of everything for his guests! I can’t recommend this place highly enough and hopefully it will be available next time we want to get back to nature!
Adam, April '24
An awesome home in the mountains that delivered an experience that went well beyond our expectations! The photos and descriptions do not do it justice! This place is truly magical, and I can’t wait to return. Five stars all the way!
Jason, August '24
“Wow! Just amazing! I cannot come up with enough words to describe the beauty of this place. Absolutely pristine natural surroundings enhanced by the thoughtful placement of seating and comfortable areas to enjoy the outdoors. The waterfall is the star but, the views, trees and flowers are breathtakingly beautiful, as well. The house is so well appointed, cozy and impeccably clean. Michael, our host, was so accommodating and helpful. As we were traveling with our dog, he provided dog blankets, towels, wipes and even treats. We were welcomed with people treats, too! All of Michael’s recommendations for activities and restaurants etc. were spot on. The house is super close to town and convenient to many beautiful sights yet you feel completely secluded. We cannot wait to return! Location, host, surroundings were a 10/10!”
-Julie, May ‘24
The ultimate treehouse experience! You will be surrounded by tall, majestic trees with a natural flowing waterfall. Breathe in the fresh mountain air, enjoy the hot tub and sauna after a hike, listen to the wind rustling the tree leaves; this home is a nature lovers paradise. Michael is a fabulous host, and this home will exceed your expectations!
Luann, August '24
I am truly grateful to find such a sacred magical home that is pet friendly. Infinite attention to detail! Our dogs loved exploring the property with us and getting a drink from the Nature Falls private waterfall. We enjoyed cooking breakfast and dinner in the amazing kitchen and grilling on the upper deck! The weather was amazing, so all meals were enjoyed immersed in nature. The scenic drives to local hiking, waterfalls and 4X4 adventures were out of this world for us and our 2 dogs! We recharged with the hot tub, sauna and outdoor showers. ***Highlight of the trip was seeing momma bear and her 5 cubs our last night before heading back home.
Danelle, August, '24
Nature Falls owner Michael is the most organized and communicative owner we ever dealt with. His attention to the comfort of his guests was greatly appreciated by us. Also, the sparkling clean hot tub, oils for the sauna, and firewood were enjoyed by all the guests (not to mention smores, ground coffee, K cups, and ice maker)! Thank you, Michael, for a great week!

-Jessica, Apr '24
The place was perfection! It was a last-minute planned grandma/mom/daughter trip and each of us enjoyed every bit of it! The place was exactly as describe and Michael went above and beyond with accommodations and goodies and just made us feel right at home. I am already trying to figure out when I can come again!
-Jessica, Apr '24
Michael was a fantastic host. He was extremely responsive and the home and property was breathtaking. Michael carefully put thought into every detail of the accommodations from cooking utensils to supplies to making sure our stay felt like home. We can’t wait to come back.
Bridgette, August, '24
Amazing property. The house is very well equipped, and the outdoor space and amenities make you feel you're in a private resort. Location is perfect if you're looking for a private and peaceful place in the mountains. Yet very close to grocery stores and restaurants. This is by far the best place we stayed in. Michael is a wonderful host. He went above and beyond to make sure our family, dog included, enjoyed our stay.
Laura, July '24
OMG! I can’t say enough about what an incredible place this is with such an amazing host! Just go ahead and stop at one of the nearby grocery stores on your way because you will not want to leave after you arrive. Such an awesome place to relax and unwind in a pristine clean and beautiful home. Sooo many extra features inside and outside. And that waterfall …. AHHH! Michael was truly one of the most responsive, helpful hosts I’ve ever dealt with. There’s just not enough space here to describe how wonderful his place is! Just book it and go!
Wanda, July, ‘24
Michael's home is an incredible place to get away from it all and enjoy nature. The house itself is as described and as pictured on the listing. It was great for our group of five (three adults and two children). The kids loved the game table and shuffleboard. The outdoor area is really what sets this place apart. No other homes in sight, other than one up the hill a ways that is barely visible from certain angles/when coming up the driveway. Our family really enjoyed playing in the creek and the hot tub and multiple seating areas outside. Even with the weather getting close to 90 degrees, the heavily forested lot and higher elevation (compared to the heat experienced in some day trips to Asheville) help keep the area cool. Asheville is a quick 30-35 minute drive. The kids loved seeing deer and wild turkeys on our way up and down the mountain as well. Thanks Michael!
Eric, July, '24
Everything is rated a 10 from beginning to end! We could not be any more satisfied. We will be back.Thank you for a great time in your lovely home.
Brog, July '24
We can’t say enough great things about our stay at Nature Falls. Michael was great and his place had everything you could want. We brought our dog and he even had everything she would need. Great location and the hiking was wonderful. The little town of Waynesville is perfect too! We hope to be back soon!
-Amy, Apr '24
It was so perfect future stays are a definite. The little touches like towel warmers, and welcome treats made it so inviting. After great consideration we decided not to become squatters although we could have been happy forever.
-Mike, Apr '24
Such a beautiful location with all the amenities needed and super cool extras! It was hard to leave! Host was fabulous as well. We hope to visit again.
Liz, May, '24
This is a great place to truly remove yourself from day to day life and just relax. It’s very easy to stay at the house without feeling the want or need to go out on the town. Such a nice & unique property!
-Logan, Apr '24
It’s a steep narrow climb, surprising at first but doable, to this beautiful private amazing breathtaking sanctuary! It truly makes you feel like you are on vacation not just another rental. Michael is very detail oriented and has thought of everything. We felt very welcomed by the collection of food and drink basket on the counter… especially the Biltmore wine and chocolates. There is something so special and soothing listening to and viewing the waterfall on the property. We slept with the window open and could hear it as we went to sleep. A very memorable stay!
Caroline, Apr '24
The entertainment options both indoors and outdoors ensure that there's never a dull moment. Whether it's unwinding in the sauna or soaking in the hot tub while admiring the natural beauty surrounding you, there's something for everyone to enjoy. What truly sets Nature Falls apart are the thoughtful touches that Michael has added to elevate the experience. From the standalone pellet ice maker to the cozy towel and blanket warmers, every detail has been carefully curated to ensure maximum comfort and convenience. Despite feeling like a secluded oasis, Nature Falls is conveniently located close enough to town for dining options, although you may find it hard to tear yourself away from the comforts of the home. Overall, Nature Falls offers an unparalleled combination of scenic beauty, family entertainment, and luxurious amenities, making it the perfect destination for families seeking a rejuvenating getaway.
-Darin, Mar '24
Great place, great property, and great communication. Highly recommended, and as advertised.
-Kevin, Mar '24
Michael's place is hands down the best Airbnb experience I've ever had. From the moment we booked the place to the moment we checked out we felt welcomed and cared for. The house and property is immaculate and feels loved and lived in. We treated it like our own and my hope is that the future guests do the same! Thank you Michael
-Yakov, Mar '24
Nature Falls is a beautiful home in the woods with spectacular views. The house is private where you feel like you’re all alone but it’s not too far from civilization, cell service was good, and places deliver. We door dashed dinner one night. We definitely liked all the cozy touches where you felt like you were right at home. The couches were comfortable, had lots of blankets and pillows. The upstairs king bed slept great. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook. Highly recommended!
-Kim, Feb '24
Michael’s hospitality was unrivaled and the property exceeded all expectations! This was by far the best Airbnb experience any of us have ever had. The photos do not do the beauty of Nature Falls justice. From the sauna and hot tub to the fire pit and amazing views, it was like having a private resort all to ourselves. From the welcome basket to the labeled cabinets, Michael’s attention to detail was evident around every corner. I cannot say enough good things about our stay! There is something special about Nature Falls.
-Jesse, Feb, '24
What a beautiful, serene home to enjoy catching up with my daughters! We enjoyed the property with the hot tub and sauna, sat by the waterfall in comfy chairs, built a cozy fire and slept like queens in the luxurious beds… extra bonus was that their two pups were welcome to come with us! Michael is a thoughtful and responsive host who added extra touches to ensure our stay was special - hope to come again!
-Tracy, Mar '24
Amazing place could spend a week or longer at this amazing location! Will be back for a longer stay next time so much to at this location did not want to even leave to go to store! Views incredible at the property of the mountains and views of the waterfall incredible!
-Jessica, Feb '24
First off, Michael was an excellent host. Prior to booking, throughout our stay, and after we checked out, he was one of the most responsive host I’ve encounter
We loved everything about this property & the outstanding service from Michael. Everything was clean & well maintained. We loved using the heated towel/blanket baskets, heated bathroom floor, pellet ice maker, & stocked coffee bar. There was plenty of hot water for steamy showers. The extra hot tub towels were a nice touch. The wood burning fireplace/stove was prepped & ready for a fire & kept the home a toasty 78 when it was 30 degrees outside. Michael even went the extra mile by surprising us with some locally made welcome goodies. I had some additional snacks delivered from Instacart easily. The outdoor area is obviously special compared to typical rental properties & looks like a lot of effort was made to allow guests to enjoy the property all year round. We went to Cataloochee to ski during the day & thawed out our sore bodies in the hot tub at night. Stop looking for anything better because you've found the best!
