My daughter and I had such a wonderful time Lovely place to stay. So peaceful and restful. Just what we needed. Sitting on the deck listening to the waterfall , sitting by the waterfall , what a treat. There is not one complaint. We do hope to come back. Thank you for the hospitality.

It was so nice the pictures were dead on and the beauty of the whole area was just what we had imagined. over all clean and very nice

This was a cute house. Very peaceful. Underestimated the drive to town (22 minutes each way). Enjoyed our stay. Stairs to the waterfalls and creek were quite steep and hard to go down, something to hold onto would have helped. Overall a good experience.

We loved the cabin and the sound of the waterfall, i have nothing bad to say i just wished i had booked it for longer 😂. This was the most relaxing and clean cabin i’ve rented, i will definitely be renting this place again and recommending it to all my friends.

This is a great place to stay when you want to get away from it all. The home is cozy with lots of room to spread out and the deck overlooking the waterfall is a great place to relax.

This was perfect for a weekend getaway. It is a bit remote, as you'll need to drive a bit up a windy road, then a gravel road. There is no cell service, as the listing mentions, but we were also not able to get logged onto the wifi, though there is a landline which came in handy a couple of times. This was not a problem for us though. The property is beautiful, and I would have hated to spend my time staring at a screen. I had a great time, and would definitely book here again!

We stayed at Falls Melody for Memorial Day weekend including my four month old infant. It was super clean, smelled nice, had a decently stocked fridge with all kinds of condiments, kitchen was stocked with pots and pans, glasses, plates, bowls, you name it! The deck was wonderful and we spent a lot of time overlooking the falls. We also very much enjoyed the screened in porch. The internet was very spotty which isn’t the owner’s fault, it’s satellite internet and the weather got a little bad. The owner had so many movies (VHS/DVDs) to choose from so when we weren’t out exploring, we were watching movies in the GIANT DEN! I can’t say enough great things about the home, we absolutely loved everything about it. Can’t wait to book again!

The sound of the waterfall in the yard along with the birds makes for a great way to especially with a cup of coffee in the morning. At the opposite end of Alarka road where it goes to a dead-end is a hiking trail (you can research it on Google and it should tell you how to get to it). The trail is a little treacherous at times but very rewarding because as you go the 0.9 miles you get to see up close and personal some of the prettiest waterfalls including the one at the very end which is magnificent. Be sure to bring mosquito and bg repellent though. Overall we enjoyed the scenery and the peace and quiet

This property had all the basics plus it was roomy and had a very well-stocked kitchen. The master had a king bed (older mattress?) and ensuite bath, the second bedroom had a newer looking queen mattress with its bathroom just outside the door. The view from the raised porch was nice particularly with the beautiful mountain stream babbling below. However, just beyond the stream was the main access road and when a vehicle went by, it created a large cloud of dust that would billow through. The location had its plusses and minuses as it was quite remote but the road in was a "no outlet" and the second half of the approach was a rutty, pot-holed narrow dirt road. The floors were broom swept but needed a good mopping as we had dirty feet from day one. Also, it was difficult to access the TVs as there were no instructions on how to work the remotes - never could figure out how to get channels on the family room tv. Also, the fireplace, barbeque grill and fire pit none of which had been cleaned. Last, you were responsible for hauling out your own trash which could pose a problem as indicated by several previous visitors like leaving at the crack of dawn like we did or being tightly packed with no room for it. Curiously the garbage truck went right by the house but did not stop probably because the owner does not subscribe to the service. Overall, we had a very nice vacation despite some of the shortcomings of the property.

We enjoyed the property very much. was exactly what we were looking for such as off the beaten path and in the mountains. Wish we could have stayed longer than the two days to allow more time to enjoy the deck and other amenities.

It’s very well equipped and clean. The beds are comfortable. The sound of rushing water just outside is a big plus. The road just off the balcony is busier than expected, and parking and turning around our F150 was a challenge. The plusses outweigh the negatives.

We really enjoyed our stay at this rental property. The host has made it feel like home with a well stocked kitchen and pantry items. Like previous reviews have said, the pictures do not do it justice. Sitting outside on the deck listening to the water running down the creek was my favorite part. The house is spacious and homey. I would suggest bringing extra towels because there were some but not many. Maybe towels were carried home accidentally by past guests? Not sure. I washed towels every day for my family of 4. Also, a lot of people commented about the trash. The dump is actually on the way to town so it was not terrible at all. We did leave on Sunday and have to carry a bag with us home and that was not fun. If you don't like curvy narrow mountain roads, this is not the neighborhood for you. Although, that's sometimes what it takes to see nature's beauty and that is truly showcased in this community.

We enjoyed our stay so much. The view was amazing.

At night we could see the stars and fireflies. Beautiful! During the day, the teens enjoyed the Creek. The waterfalls provided the peace. Everything was well stocked.

We loved this cabin so much we returned for a second year! Our family includes 4 school aged children and the gift of a waterfall in the backyard as well as a gorgeous waterfall on the mountain make this a location you don’t have to leave the mountain for. Close to the Great Smoky National Park and a day trip away from Gatlinburg and Asheville, this off the grid cabin is a perfect mountain getaway to unplug and unwind. The host was very responsive and gracious with incidental things and we enjoyed our time in the area. I definitely recommend this to those who enjoy the outdoors.

What a beautiful spot! We were mesmerized by the sound of the falls below the charming house. Very well equipped and comfortable for sure. Thank you for sharing, Becky

It is in a private location for unplugging from the world for a little bit and just being with your family.

Excellent communication with owner, easy check-in. Beautiful, secluded property. Found a few swimming spots in the creek a few miles from the house for the kids.

We enjoyed the peace and quiet of this home. My husband wasn't thrilled about the gravel, narrow road initially but he realized it was fine. The creek sounds were great to sleep by!!

Everything was amazing. Plenty of room and places to sleep. Loved the creek. My kids couldnt stay out of it.

Love the creek and atmosphere

The kids loved the creek

We loved everything about it thank you!!!

The house was great and the location was just right! On arrival, check in was smooth and the house was very clean. A previous review stated the furniture needed updating and yes a few of the couches looked older but only one was uncomfortable so it wasn’t a big deal for us. Overall the house and location is a gem! The online listing could be a little more accurate with better details. For instance it does say it has WiFi but after you pay the owner gives you more details on using the WiFi. Basically they ask that you not stream anything because it will use to much data allowance. The house sits between two mountains and the internet service is satellite so it’s not great. You can’t get cell service until about 3 miles from the house. That was not a big deal to us at first but received a job offer while staying and it was difficult to do some of the online stuff I needed to do. But it is the mountains so service is spotty everywhere. I just felt like the owner should explain that information in the initial online listing a little more. Also once you pay for the listing the owner lets you know that you are responsible to take your trash to the dump when you leave. This should definitely be listed upfront before you book. I know it helps keep the cleaning fees down but it is very difficult for some to do this. Unfortunately we could not take the trash when we left for a couple of different reasons. The first being that we checked out on a Sunday and check out time is 11am(we had to leave by 9am to make it home for an event) the trash dump area is closed until 1pm on Sunday. We could not ride around waiting for the dump to open. Also we couldn’t drive 5 hours back home with a bag of trash in our car. If we would have had a truck than maybe. We did leave a small tip to hopefully cover the inconvenience of housekeeping taking care of the trash. I would suggest that the owner informs people of this in the initial listing and have the option of paying additional for trash removal. Also the final few miles of the road to the house is a hard gravel one lane road. It was in great condition but some areas you couldn’t easily pull to the side to make way for other cars because of ruts in the side. I know some people would not be comfortable with this but wasn’t a real problem for us. Not the owners fault though. Overall the house and location is fabulous and the creek is the spotlight! I would definitely book again!

What an awesome place!!! We had a wonderful relaxing time!!! Great folks to rent from!!! Would definitely go again!!

This is a very nice cabin to stay in. Very clean, very spacious. The stream and waterfall viewed from the back porch is beautiful. We love having only the screen doors closed so we can listen to the water. Also enjoyed sitting around a fire in the fire pit and having s’mores.
