Was exactly as expected. The house was great for our large family with 6 adults and 7 children. Would stay again if in the area. The driveway was the hardest part to navigate, but we didn't have 4 wheel drive as recommended by the host. Thanks for a great weekend trip.

Our family had a wonderful time together this past weekend. I think everyone really enjoyed their stay. We had a range of 8 months to 89 years in our group, and it was special to have everyone together in this lovely location. There were some concerns that I have already shared with the agent, but overall, it was a great experience for everyone.
The photo of the waterfall on the VRBO page seems to be a bit deceptive.  The attached photo is what we saw when we arrived with only water flowing/falling from drainage pipes. We were expecting a "real" waterfall.

Wonderful, magical stay. We were surrounded by woods, wildflowers, and waterfalls and enjoyed comfy indoor and outdoor spaces. The variety of bedrooms/ beds easily accommodated our group of assorted ages and connections. Great kitchen, with plenty storage and made for cooking. The fire pit area next to the water was perfect for gathering to visit, enjoy s’mores and breathe deeply. For our group, the Waterfall Lodge was a great value and exceeded expectations!
