Description Description
Change your perspective at Sydney Falls Cabin, a classic three-story timber frame log home near Black Mountain, NC. This Catawba Falls Preserve rental is nestled in a 900-acre community bordering Pisgah National Forest, with over a hundred acres designated as common areas for exploration. An on-site network of hiking trails leads to the Catawba River and the stunning, cascading Catawba Falls within a short drive from the property. Treat yourself to a premier home centered around light-filled gathering areas, where sumptuous lodge decor sets the scene for your mountain getaway. Conversation starters abound, from a buffalo head mounted on the hearth to a reed boat hanging from the rafters and a striking collection of rustic twig furniture. The centerpiece two-story stone fireplace provides ambiance for evenings in the main living area, where a wall of windows allows you to gaze at the stars while sitting by the fire. For those who enjoy cooking and entertaining, the gourmet kitchen and round dining table blend seamlessly from oven to table, with an outdoor dining area that stays comfortably shaded all day and a gas grill for al fresco meals.

Wind down your day with a sunset view by the fire pit on the back deck. Your group will appreciate the spaciousness of this thoughtfully designed home when bedtime arrives. The main level primary suite offers a private and relaxing spa experience, complete with a jetted soaking tub. Two upper-level bedrooms share a full bath and provide picturesque views from the loft. Escape to the lower-level recreation room for a friendly game of ping-pong, or relax in the fourth guest bedroom and a cozy bunk room featuring two sets of single-over-single bunk beds, ideal for children or extra guests. Looking for a log cabin rental with a mountain view from the bubbling hot tub? Sydney Falls Cabin delivers all of this and more, making it the ideal Black Mountain escape to elevate your Western North Carolina vacation experience.

Place was gorgeous, got a lot of kudos from my friends for booking it! Spacious and also lots of fun ways for the group to come together - we particularly enjoyed cooking in the spacious and well-stocked kitchen - also liked the hot tub and ping pong time! Playing games in the cozy living room was also nice. We had a great day hiking from the private lot to Cawtaba falls, too! Would recommend!

Nice house for a large group. Beautiful surroundings. Kids beds were uncomfortable and creaky, otherwise we had a comfortable stay. Would give 5 starts but the trailhead is not as advertised; we couldn't find it and there were no instructions on the guest portal on how to find it. Turns out it is a short drive from the home, not on site.

The layout of this property was my favorite part. We used it for a family get together of several adults and one teen so having private rooms and bathrooms was our priority. That worked out perfectly. We enjoyed the ping pong table and the ability to watch a movie downstairs. We thought there would be a little more of a mountain-top view from the photos, but perhaps tree growth changed that. The kitchen was large and easy to cook in and the laundry room came in handy. Two small disappointments were some of the bedding and the comfort of the twin mattresses. Two adults ended up sleeping in the twins room and while less comfortable mattresses might be ok for kids, it was not pleasant as an adult. Some of the top blankets on beds were not fresh and looked dingy. We washed one of them on the king bed. It looked and smelled better afterward. Some kitchen items were not as clean as they could have been as well. However, the larger mattresses were quite comfortable and there were ample towels for baths and hot tub. We do suggest a small reminder to guests about bears. We did have a visitor confiscate a small bag of granola from an open car door after just a few minutes of having brought groceries in the house. It was not upsetting but suggest a friendly reminder to guests. There is also a fairly pleasant sleeper sofa in the downstairs. Proximity to other towns was also very easy and convenient. The space is warmly decorated and cozy even for being so large in the main living room.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such detailed feedback about Sydney Falls Cabin! We're thrilled the layout worked perfectly for your family gathering and that you enjoyed the amenities like the ping pong table and spacious kitchen. We genuinely appreciate you pointing out the bedding and cleaning concerns - we take those seriously and will address them right away. Your bear safety suggestion is excellent, and we'll definitely add clearer reminders to our guest instructions since wildlife encounters are part of mountain living. We're glad the larger mattresses, towels, and hot tub made your stay more comfortable overall, and we're so happy you found the area convenient for exploring nearby towns. We'd love to welcome your group back to Sydney Falls Cabin!

This is a lovely, cozy house in a gorgeous location. It fit our group of 9 so well. Clean home & clean hot tub. Extremely well-stocked kitchen. Only little note that may affect some renters is some of our party felt some of the mattresses were too hard & uncomfortable. The actual issue we ran into was with the rental company. We originally had the home booked for a different weekend and a few days before check in NC declared a state of emergency because of a historic ice storm coming in over the weekend. Because we didn’t purchase rental insurance, the rental company was not going to do anything about it. It took many hours via talking & messaging over several days of communication to be able to get them to reschedule another date for us. Even that process was difficult because they were initially going to charge us even higher than the posted rate for the weekend we changed to. The entire process was a headache due to the rental agency and unfortunately we wouldn’t book again.
