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!

I had such a wonderful mom’s getaway at this unique spot perched on top of a beautiful historic building overlooking the waterfall. The setting alone was unforgettable, but what made it even better was how well thought out the space was. I loved the outdoor features – especially the outdoor fridge and outdoor bathroom, which made it easy to spend almost all of my time outside enjoying the fresh air and scenery rather than staying indoors. The hosts stocked the place with everything I could possibly need, from plenty of towels to extra toilet paper and other supplies, which made my stay completely stress-free. The atmosphere was peaceful, relaxing, and just what I needed to recharge. If you’re looking for a getaway that combines history, nature, and thoughtful touches, this is the perfect place. I barely spent any time inside, and that’s exactly what made it so special.

Megan was a great host and we loved the location, right on a water fall. Really enjoyed the sound of the water. We had a great time and would stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay! As a family of 6 staying for one weekend, it was perfect. Space is extremely limited inside, so if you’re planning a longer visit or if you have a lot of luggage, that might be an issue. But we loved it and hope to return!
