Kindling Falls - 60ft Waterfall!

Welcome to Kindling Falls, your luxury retreat in the mountains of Western North Carolina with your own private 60ft waterfall you can slide down.

This stunning 5 bedroom property sleeps 20 so that you're able to bring friends and family to experience the magic of staying here. Photos and words don't do this property justice. The beauty, hikes, restaurants, and activities of Highlands (12 miles) and Cashiers (15 miles) are just outside your door, but trust us––you won't want to leave.

Slide down the waterfall right outside your bedroom. Have bonfires on the island surrounded by a rushing stream. Swim in the natural 14ft-deep granite pool. Catch a rainbow trout right outside your door. Grill next to the sounds of the water running over the rocks. And that's just the exterior. This is a property your family will want to come to year after year and a place to make memories to last a lifetime.

Inside you'll find space for everyone with 5 bedrooms with a waterfront decks off each. Whether it's relaxing in the den surrounded by water on three sides or gathering around the table in the spacious dining room, sharing stories into the night, this home invites you to slow down.

**Gathering Spaces**
You enter the home into the Great Room with comfortable seating set before a stone fireplace, a game table for family fun and competition, and dining space to seat 12.

The kitchen is fully equipped for your holiday meals with a 6-burner gas stove and all stainless steel appliances.

Just off the kitchen sits the heart of the home––a den with a two-story wood burning fireplace and soaring windows that give the feeling the stream is rushing beneath your feet.

The waterfall isn't only outside. There is also a spa room with an interior waterfall and built-in 10 person hot tub.

There is an additional game room with bumper pool, darts, and games.

Not as advertised

Dissapointing many things did not work. The hot tub, water feature, candles did not work. The TV in the living room top of falls. The fireplaces in the lower room did not work. The dryer bottom floor was loud and breaking. There was a rodent in the pantry. The nook was extremely hot with no air flow. Lots of ants. The bed in the loft had several ants. The hand mixer we threw out. Several great features as well. Well stocked with nessesties. The waterfalls are beautiful. The cabin was huge and well decorated. Thank you.

Beautiful home for a family get away

We were in Franklin for a funeral and had our adult children coming in from as far away as London to Denver to Dallas. The home was a perfect gathering spot , well appointed with everything we needed , and large enough for those who needed privacy for healing to be alone. . The waterfall slide was enjoyed by our more adventurous guys , the spa was a relaxing welcome retreat and the fire pit held some great conversations . We will be back for future family reunions ! Joe and McKenzie were very responsive and more than accommodating.

A Mother's Day to remember

Joe and McKenzie's Kindling Falls home was beyond expectations. The Host's had the home prepared to meet any need that might arise from the Welcome Brochure to the 2 ply toilet paper, the presentation was extremely well thought out. If you had a question how to operate a thermostat, tv or fireplace there was never a question or concern. The multiple decks allowed for the chance to sip a glass of your favorite beverage or morning coffee and the waterfalls were ever present. We would definitely come back!

AMAZING House & Property

Our annual Christmas mountain getaway was extra special this year thanks to this gorgeous house and property. We highly recommend this property and talked about how fabulous it would be to visit during each of the four seasons. Our teenagers took advantage of the polar plunge opportunity this trip and great memories were made.

Magical

Everything about our stay was magical! What a beautiful property. Everyone loved picking out their rooms and each one was cozier than the next. We enjoyed building a fire with s'mores and spotted some really cool wildlife in the area. The thing we enjoyed most was definitely the rock slide waterfall. It is such an amazing feature and we enjoyed tubing down it. Then spending our time warming up in the hot tub that is conveniently located inside the property. Could not recommend staying here more, the hosts were very responsive to every question we had.

Fun for the whole family!

This home is one of a kind and gorgeous every where you look. The property has activities for all ages. We had 4, 5, and 7 year olds who played games, slide on tubes down the waterfall, played in the river for hours, roasted marshmallows, and then took a dip in the hot tub. The adults were able to relax and enjoy watching the kids play. There is a fully stocked kitchen where we made meals to feed the large group. All conveniences were made available by the hosts. Highly recommend!

An Ideal Place

If you need a place to reconnect or just get away from the daily routine, this is it. You are literally in the midst of nature while having all the comforts of the modern world. From fun playing in the water and rock slide, swinging over the water, campfires to just sitting on one of the balconies watching, we never felt the need to leave for other entertainment. The kitchen was completely stocked, beds ultra comfortable and space for all being together or having my own space to read. Precious family time with amazing memories. We’ll be back!!
