Serenity found!! The sound of rushing water, the fresh smell of mountain air, and the feeling of a world all your own hardly describes the Waterfall Cabin.
If you seek an escape from the daily grind, to snuggle up by the fire with the one you love, or just getaway to enjoy the incredible hikes and waterfalls of the surrounding area, Trouthouse Falls will not disappoint. More than comfortable, rustic and modern rolled into one, this home is truly one of a kind.
Great variety of fly fishing experiences in a short distance, wildlife abounds. Having adventured around the world, one of the best places we have EVER stayed!
Thanks for a great adventure!

We loved our week among the fall leaves in the
Trout Falls Cabin. The leaves were turning as we
watched and very beautiful along with our rushing
mountain stream and the waterfalls. The cabin was
furnished with everything that we needed and it
was great to have a dry supply of firewood since
some rain fell but we were able to enjoy a fire each
evening. A cozy cabin for reading and working a
jigsaw puzzle together. Liked being at the end of
the road so very private. The gravel road will need
some help as we hit bottom with our car in several
places but that was the only negative during our
entire week. Enjoyed a matinee at the local theater
and Irish coffee at the Irish pub of Dugan's on one
of our rainy afternoons. |

| Our family had a great time. As a flyfisherman. . I enjoyed the proximity to some really excellent trout streams. As a parent and a husband I had an relaxing time with family. The house is very well appointed and decorated. No detail is missing. . . we just didn't understand why the house had a television.... |

| What an extraordinary location! The cabin is beautiful and the waterfall was simply marvelous. We didn’t feel the need to hike miles away when we had our own waterfall right there! We had a peaceful and relaxing week. This area is motorcycle heaven and the antique shopping in Brevard was outstanding! What a lovely town! NC restaurants are all non-smoking, which was a delight as Virginia has yet to come to it's senses. We hope to return and enjoy this beautiful place again someday! |

| Our family spent a week at the Waterfall Cabin in June and wished our stay could have been longer! The cabin was cozy and well stocked, perfect for our family and the setting by the stream and waterfall was just beautiful. We felt right at home and enjoyed spending the week exploring all the waterfalls in the area, hiking, rafting and shopping in Brevard. Thanks for a wonderful vacation, we will be back! |

| My husband and I stayed at the waterfall cabin the 2nd of July thru 5th of July. It was our 30th wedding anniversary. It was exactly the way we had pictured it and it was the best weekend of our lives. We both said we want to come back again for a longer visit next time. |

We stayed at the Waterfall Cabin during a June trip
to go rock climbing in Brevard and the Linville
Gorge. The cabin is in a wonderful location just far
enough outside of town to make you feel like you
are in another world. The sounds of the waterfall
were glorious, and the house itself was beautiful.
Last year, we stayed at the Riverfront Fishing
Cottage, another of the owner's properties, and it
was equally wonderful. Poppies is a must for food,
dont miss the white squirrels in town, and, if you
need a climbing guide, Fox Mountain Guides is the
best in the Southeast. Oh, and be sure to go to O.P.
Taylors if you have kids--it's a good old-fashioned
toy store that our kids beg to visit every time we're
up there. We'll definitely be back and will stay at
one of the Trout House Falls' properties again! |

| Our family of three stayed the week before Easter at the cabin. We had a wonderful time. The location of the property is perfect - nestled down on a flat patch of land between hills on a stream. It was comfortable, clean, and relaxing. We used the fireplace every day, saw wild turkeys, racoons, birds, deer nearby, but no trout. Hopefully no previous guests poached the stream. We will definitely be back. We shopped at Poppies in Brevard - great - on the way to Looking glass falls. We did gem mining in Franklin (Mason's mine) and found almost 30 carats of sapphires. We had great family fun and even fluffy towels. Thanks. |

Wildly exceeded our expectations. A friend of mine had a deposit on this house and could not go. My girlfriend and I took the reservation at a discount from my friend. WOW. Here are a few comments:
1. The locals even made comments at how nice the cabin was...nothing was missing. We even played monopoly which was provided!
2. The recommended Whitewater horse tours and Craig the waterfall guy was great! They both knew the area well. Craig is recommended! He was fun to hang out with during the day and has access to the most obsure waterfalls.
3. Definitely go into Brevard downtown. Great stores like Hunters and Gatherers. We bought so much there.
4. If you are into the cozying up with the locals for a drink go to Dugans. We went there to play trivia on the bar video game and the entire bar got involved. There was a local irishman there who bought us shots and we hung out with a lawyer, real estate agent, the bartender, and many locals who were sooo nice and fun. The bar tab ended up being a little high!
5. I work at a software company and can tell you that your website is great presence and easy to find what you need.
Grade A on everything....only complain was that it was cooooooolllllldddd:) |

| As many of the other guests have said, our total experience here vastly exceeded our expectations, which were already high because of the excellent web site. Before coming we had asked for the best time to come to experience maximum fall color; and then we booked it for those dates (October 15-21). Thanks for that excellent advice. Each day we were there the fall color became more and more spectacular. Everything else, from the setting to decorations to the dishes, was perfect. We will definitely return when we can. My only complaint: there was so much to do and see in the area that we really didn't relsx that much. Oh well. Maybe next time. |

What an great place to celebrate a birthday! We loved the cottage from the minute we arrived. The beautiful setting and sound of the water makes you not want to leave to go anywhere. The weather was perfect,and we were able to make a fire every day and night. We had our coffee each morning out on the porch, looking at the waterfall and stream. The owners Jim and Kathy have seen to every detail to make this the perfect mountain getaway.
We would definately love to return and stay longer than 5 days and do less running around and more relaxing at the cabin. We miss the peace and quiet; it was hard to leave!!

Thank you for a wonderful stay at Trout House Falls cabin. Our children simply could not get enough of playing in the stream and its peaceful sound was so soothing at night. If you are looking for a refreshing, tranquil get-away, this is the spot. The cabin itself was well appointed and well worth the visit. We look forward to our next return visit.
Many thanks,

| Thanks so much for the memories and time we were able to enjoy at the cabin. It was the perfect launching point for our 1st wedding anniversary and the cabin itself is full of charm. After being deployed with the Army for over 7 months on a combat tour, the time Kim and I had to spend there, relaxing, was wonderful. We hope to be back again in the future. |

| What can I say that hasn't already been said? Trouthouse Falls is one of a kind. My wife and I were married at Table Rock and spent our honeymoon at the cabin. We are both hikers and thoroughly enjoyed the proximity to so many great trails and waterfalls. I was able to spend hours photographing the many falls and streams in and around the cabin. Jim, thanks so much for the advice on fishing and area activities. We will definitely be back! |

| Although your website is great, even it didn't do Trout House Falls justice! We were so pleasantly surprised when we arrived and quickly made ourselves at home! Next time we come, however, we won't plan as much "running around" and will treat your little oasis less like a hotel and will spend more time just enjoying your property and nearby Brevard. Thanks for making it such a warm and welcoming spot! |

| I must admit I was a little apprehensive during my first drive up the gravel road, but what a pot of gold awaited us at the end! Isolated and serene, clean and well-maintained, and with all the amenities we could ever require, I certainly enjoyed my recent stay at Trout House Cabin. Hiking and moutaining biking at Dupont State Forest was first rate, the view from Caesars Head should not be missed...in 4 days we were barely able to scratch the surface of things to do in the area. Plus, the satellite TV allowed us to see the UT/Florida game as well. My biggest regret is that we did not bring more food and cook in to allow us more time to spend at this wonderful oasis. Thank you for making our long weekend such a pleasant experience. |

| We spent 5 relaxing days at the cabin. The surroundings and the cabin itself exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed roasting marshmallows around the fire pit, playing in the creek, and rocking on the porch. The temperature at the cabin was always 5-10 degrees cooler than Brevard. The cabin at Trout House Falls is the perfect mountain getaway with all the amenities that you would want. We will definitely be back next summer. |

My wife, Donna, and I thoroughly enjoyed our 4 nights in the cabin at Trout House Falls.. We stay in cabins a lot in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and THF is one of the best we have ever experienced. It is a beautiful cabin in a beautiful mountain setting with a stream running right past the front of the cabin. We also fly fished for trout in the nearby East Fork River. I caught my first brook trout.
I would highly recommend Trout House Falls to anyone!! |

But, more than anything the natural beauty surrounding was pure paradise. The amazing water and water falls and boulders, absolutely gorgeous. We barely stayed indoors -- rain or shine we were outside hiking around taking in all the beauty. This was a dream get away! |

Words can hardly describe this "Little Piece of Paradise!" "The Cabin" exceeded our expectations in both design and comfort. No amenity was forgotten. Including all the fire tools needed for roasting marshmallows and popping popcorn. They even had the popcorn! We enjoyed the surrounding activities but nothing compared to the stream and waterfalls. It was an absolute delight to have it in such close proximity to the cabin. We had a very difficult time leaving after just three nights, but we will be back and plan to stay longer. This was truely a "healing" experience!

This property location in the NC mountains with waterfalls and streams is extremely peaceful and serene. Really great going to sleep each night to the sounds of the waterfall! Hiking, numerous waterfalls and forests, golf, and many scenic locations nearby. Great vacation spot! |
