About this property

An exceptional 3BR/2Bath, mountain retreat w/private waterfall, fire pit & European hot tub! 

An exceptional mountain retreat w/private waterfall, fire pit & European hot tub! Does the thought of sleeping with the soothing flow of a waterfall nearby, sound wonderful to you? Or maybe, having a glass of wine while soaking in a beautiful European hot tub, overlooking that waterfall? How about roasting marshmallows over the fire pit at the bottom of that waterfall? If, so... "THE RETREAT @ MINIHAHA" is for you. This upscale, 3BR/2bath... newly renovated... property, is nestled perfectly in the Blue Ridge Mountains, beside it's very own "Minihaha Falls". The owners have gone to great lengths to make this vacation home as "perfect" as is can possibly be.

You'll enter the one-level home, with ease, from the parking area... just one step up onto the side portion of the multi-level deck. Inside, the open floor plan, greets guests into the fully equipped kitchen, w/stainless steel appliances, the dining area w/seating for six (6), the living area, w/beautiful leather furnishings, and... a spectacular lounging area, in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the waterfall & the fire pit area below.

The large Master Bedroom features a King size, adjustable bed, luxurious linens & bedding, a flat screen TV, a private entrance/exit out onto the deck, and down to the hot tub, and more floor-to-ceiling windows, which let in lots of natural light, and showcase the incredible views. The adjacent Master Bath includes a large, two-person, walk-in shower.

Both guest bedrooms have Queen beds, with top-of-the line linens & bedding, and the guest bathroom also has a double, walk-in-shower.

Outside, the multi-level, wrap-around, deck, provides the peace and tranquility that mountain life offers. Just off the living room, and off the master bedroom, the upper portion of the deck is home to several, comfy rockers, where you can enjoy your morning cup of coffee... an afternoon with a good book, or an evening with the moon & stars. The lower portion of the deck leads the way, down a stone pathway, to the screened, lighted & furnished, European hot tub cabana. The steps down to the fire pit area below, are also reached from this portion of the deck.

Once you're here... you may find yourself wanting to stay forever, or... at least wanting to come back again and again!

Amazing place
We thoroughly enjoined our stay at Minihaha. The views did not disappoint. The description of the property and fully stocked kitchen was very accurate. During our visit there was an unexpected water issue. The office staff and maintenance were very responsive and fixed the issue quickly. We would definately stay here again when we are back in NC. Thank you for a memorable family Christmas trip.

Just what we needed!
This was the best weekend getaway my husband and I have ever taken. The property was beautiful and allowed us to not only build on our relationship but also connect with nature. We will stay here again soon.

Excellent location, house, and property management company
Our stay at The Retreat @ Minihaha was amazing and the property management staff were phenomenal to work with. The property was clean and comfortable and the views of the mountains and waterfall were amazing. When there were problems with the heat, the property management company came out quickly to resolve the issue and worked on contingency plans should a repair not have been possible. Both Carol and Debbie were so friendly. I would highly recommend this property and the property management company.
