Guest Access

Tucked away on a secluded 10-acre property, this home shares a driveway with one other house. The area above the falls offers a communal space, complete with a cozy fire pit and a prime spot for fishing. From the falls down, you'll enjoy exclusive access to your own private retreat. Planning for a bigger group? Ask about renting both homes to enjoy the entire property exclusively!

Just had the best Airbnb stay ever at Megan’s place in Walhalla! 🌿✨ The property is absolutely immaculate—peaceful, beautiful, and full of charm. From the unique waterwheel to the cozy vibe, it’s truly a hidden gem. Megan was incredibly helpful and supportive the whole time, and her hospitality made the experience even more special. 🙌🏾 We can definitely see the amazing potential this spot has—and yes, we’ve got a couple of suggestions, lol—but overall it was an unforgettable stay. Can’t wait to come back again soon, hopefully with the whole family next time! 💛 Highly recommend if you're looking for a relaxing, nature-filled getaway. #AirbnbGem #WalhallaRetreat #GratefulGuest

Megan was such a great host, she was super responsive and messaged us with all of the information we'd need before we even had to ask. The house was exactly as described and everything was clean. The property is beautiful and we cant wait to return.

Our stay was so relaxing and the natural scenery on all the grounds was so beautiful. No fish but trout fishing in the mountain stream was fun! The house was so clean, and the hot tub, sauna, and outside kitchen were big hits. Our Host was so friendly and helpful. Hope to go back again.

This was our first time using airbnb and it was excellent, thanks to Megan. She was super responsive and the place was very well-kept up. The house is literally on top of a waterfall, so you just cannot beat that if you are looking for that type of escape, which we certainly were. Megan is a fantastic host and the home is unique with lots of charm; you won't be disappointed!

Megan's Lay Lodge on the falls was absolutely gorgeous and romantic! Perfect getaway, the location is near so many beautiful waterfalls and the hiking was a mixture of easy, moderate and extreme! Megan is a gracious host and the lodge is definitely a hidden gem!

We rent Airbnb’s up and down the east coast two times a year. This is by far in our top two picks. House is very cozy, peaceful, private and Unique. This house is approximately 10 minutes from Walhalla and 20 minutes from Seneca. Our host,Megan, by far the best host we’ve ever had. She’s very proactive, communicative, and responsive. hundred stars to you, Megan and your property. Thank you very much. We will see you next spring.

We utilize Airbnb a few times every year and our experience with Megan was our best experience yet! She is extremely prompt and accommodating. Definitely not like many of the corporate managed homes available. Thank you so much Megan, God Bless you and your family!
