Beautiful cabin with full accommodations for all ages young and old. We loved family time together in the game room. Sitting outside by the fire pit and relaxing in the jacuzzi with the breathtaking mountain view right in front of us. Walking to the water fall and picking berries along the gravel road. If you want somewhere secluded to unwind and connect with nature this is the place for you! Just make sure you stock up on food and provisions because the nearest store is about 30 mins away.

Beautiful, remote setting. We loved the views and the quiet seclusion.

This cabin was everything the description says it is and more. We enjoyed the game room, smores by the fire, walks to the waterfall. Cabin was extremely clean and very well maintained. We highly recommend to anyone who likes to be secluded and enjoy a beautiful Mountain View!

Everything about our stay was amazing! The location, privacy, the view, amenities, the decorating, etc. My daughter just graduated from WCU…and “Hidden Falls” was our accomodations. My family didn’t want to leave, we were enjoying it so much! Hopefully, we can come back again someday.

Beautiful view. House was well-stocked with everything you need. So many games and activities that you don't even have to leave the property, which is good because it's high up the mountain. Hummingbird came by back porch daily. We will be back.

Very tranquil and well maintained home . Home floor plan is great to share with another small family. Appreciated that billiards table and equipment were in excellent condition. Location is beautiful and very remote. It is fairly far away from Nantahala Outdoor Center. You definitely need all- wheel drive navigating very steep gravel roads around the home . Thank you for a memorable amd peaceful stay.

This cabin was clean and well stocked, although I did wish more bath towels were provided. The view and the waterfall were amazing! I loved the privacy. This is a great option for families who don’t want the hustle and bustle of the Pigeon Forge area.
5.0
We stayed 4 days at this cabin. It is remote and the last 2 miles of the road is gravel up a windy mountain road BUT when you get there, it's so worth it! The cabin itself is beautiful, clean and new! It has everything you could want. The kitchen is well-equipped, there are adequate towels, blankets and linens. The beds are very comfortable. The wifi is very good. The view in the mornings while sitting and drinking your coffee outside is breathtaking. Our kids loved having their own space downstairs where there is a game room and easy access to the hot tub outside. We had a wonderful time here. Best of all, the host is very very responsive and helpful. I appreciated him warning us about possible weather in the area. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to disconnect for a few days.

Amazing cabin in the woods away from it all!! Relaxing 😎 and everything we could have asked for.

My family and I had a great time at Hidden Falls Home! The view off the back deck was beautiful! Hot tub was amazing after long hikes. The house and hot tub were super clean. The beds were very comfortable. The owner even made sure we had fire wood for the fire pit! Thank you Bill! We enjoyed every evening around the fire and listening to scary stories from our 5 year old! We loved visiting the bakery and chocolate shoppe in Bryson City! We took our kids fishing at Coopers Creek and ate fresh trout that we grilled on the back deck of the house. We cooked all our meals at the house. The kitchen was fully stocked. We hiked the GSMNP - Deep Creek Trail and saw the waterfalls! My husband hiked the 4.5 mile hike up hill with our 19 month strapped to his back. I was amazed by his stamina because she’s definitely a Butterball Turkey. We had a great family trip and would highly recommend this home!
5.0
The drive up is steep and should definitely be done first time during the day. The drive is worth it. We had a small issue and the owner was great and went over and beyond to make it right. Cabin was beautiful and we all had a great time. Very peaceful and quiet. We would definitely stay here again. The hidden falls on the property was a great little hike.

If you are looking to "get away from it all," this is your place! My friends are big hikers, outdoorsmen, etc. so this was perfect for us. The house was well stocked and meticulously clean. Beds were comfortable and linens were so nice. A word to those who are nervous drivers, I recommend a 4 wheel drive or all wheel drive. My front wheel drive did fine, but an inexperienced mountain driver may not do well. Again, an exceptional getaway...one we will repeat.

Fantastic views and an awesome cabin. Enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit hanging out with family for a birthday weekend

This house had everything we needed for making meals, abundance of linens and towels, and room for all 5 of us to have space to ourselves. The hot tub and fire pit area was perfect for relaxing in the evening after long days of hiking and sightseeing. Kids loved the pool table and board games. We enjoyed hiking around the property (and waterfall) on days we didn't venture into the Smoky's. Absolutely perfect for a family looking to getaway and unplug.

Took my family up for a weekend getaway and the polar express. Cabin fit the 6 adults and 2 infants with ease. A room with a bathroom in each level which was great for each having some space. Cabin was clean and updated. Had everything we needed to cook meals. Owner is very helpful and responsive. If you are looking for a private, secluded hideaway from the everyday hustle bustle, this is the place. It’s a trek up the mountain, but worth every winding road once you walk out in the back porch. Just make sure you have what you need before you head up the mountain!

This place is just amazing. The views are outstanding. If your looking for Paradise in the mountains this is your place. This is our second time coming back to this little peace of heaven. Definitely recommend this if you are trying to get away in the mountains.

Perfect house!
We had a wonderful time at this house. It is really beautiful. The beds were all very comfortable. The kitchen was very well stocked. Plenty of games and books for fun. Pool table is a blast. And very quiet! I have rented quite a few houses, and this is definitely one of our tops stays!

Mountain Oasis
The cabin and amenities were excellent and the host was phenomenal. We felt at home with comfy beds and attention to so many small details to make you feel at home. Kitchen fully stocked with spices and everything else you’d need.
I would highly recommend driving 4-wheel drive only! The terrain directly in and out of cabin is steep, curved, & gravelly. Let me just say the girls trip became very adventurous getting out with my 2-wheel drive after heavy rain, but we did it!
Bill was so genuinely kind and the best host I’ve had the pleasure working with. Thank you so much for making our stay very memorable.

Cabin is beautiful, well kept, up to date everything and spacious. Owner and grounds person were awesome. Now, the terrain up the side of mountain, was one we were not prepared for, being that this was a girls trip, we clutched our pearls and pushed through. Overall it was a great get away.

The property was perfect! We loved having the bedrooms seperated by levels. The cabin is beautifully decorated and very clean. The game room has a pool table, dart board, tv and a great selection of board games. We spent most of our time outdoors by the amazing fire pit. The trails to the waterfalls on property is amazing. Would suggest boots or shoes not the crocs my teens tried to make it in. Now, the drive up the mountain was a little tough. Thankful that we had our SUV. The owner was great communicating before and during the trip and went out of his way to help us.

The cabin takes some driving to get to, but once you're there, the view, the cabin layout, and the amenities make it more than worth the trip! We stay at VRBO properties routinely and this cabin is one of the cleanest and best stocked locations we've visited. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything needed to fix complete meals - - including spices, a wide variety of pots/pans/utensils, a new grill and newer appliances. The game room downstairs is in excellent shape and fully equipped for a great night with your friends. There is plenty of room to eat outside on the deck overlooking the mountains, or even more room inside. The internet is excellent and there is plenty of parking out front. We particularly liked how quiet this cabin was since there are no neighbors to see or hear! The walk down to the waterfall on the property is a special place as well.
The owners have done a great job of making this a great cabin to spend time with friends or family and still have your own bedroom/bath, and view that can't be beat. We will be back!
