Soothing Waters - 2BR home on stream with a hot tub!

The mind is a terrible thing to waste unless that is your intention. Sometimes that's the best form of relaxation, to just sit on the deck and listen to the sounds from the soothing stream below and just waste a few moments by yourself nestled under a canopy provided by 70 foot Hemlock trees. Soothing Waters will change your way of thinking and that's exactly why you should be here. There are two queen bedrooms, one on each floor, as well as two full baths plus additional sleeping for two in the loft.

​​​​​​​Hot tub and gas grill on the deck, internet and pet friendly, EV charging station (J1772 EV charger @ 30 Amp), gas log fireplace, central heating/air, master bath features a jacuzzi bathtub and tile shower to die for, modern kitchen, well furnished Family Room, rustic yet was the whole idea. Soothing Waters is not just a name, it's a place in the mountains just quietly you.

A fantastic cabin close to Boone
We really enjoyed our stay here. The cabin was very clean and comfortable. We spent a lot of time on the back deck enjoying the woods and the sound of the stream below, as well as some cozy nights by the fireplace reading. Check-in was super easy, as was communication with the renters during our stay. We were only a 15 minute drive to downtown Boone, but the cabin felt like you were kind of away from it all so we could enjoy the peace and quiet of the woods. We would absolutely stay here again.

Great family vacation!
We had a wonderful time at this beautiful cabin. It was perfect for our family of 4 plus our pup! We were close in proximity to attractions and restaurants while still staying in a quiet, relaxing, secluded location. The hot tub was a nice bonus as well as stocked coffee for us tired parents. We would recommend this to all our friends. The only negative was the mattress pads wouldn’t stay on the beds and the pillows were very flat. Otherwise we had an amazing time and are so blessed you shared your incredible home with us.

Wonderful Cabin
Soothing waters was wonderful!! The cabin is nicely furnished with very comfy beds. Loved the little (but big) touches such as a sound machine in each room, kitchen and bath soap sets, coffee pods etc. The kitchen had everything you need to cook. The location was peaceful- it felt so remote, but was not far from grocery etc. The kids absolutely loved the stream and fishing in the pond. We would stay again!!

Soothing Waters is a perfect name
This cabin is a perfect choice for a stay in the area. The location was easy to find, the management company provided excellent info, and the check-out/clean-up process was the easiest I've ever experienced in my 10 years of renting properties. The cabin itself is charming, with a great use of space without feeling small, and has a well-appointed kitchen -- especially if you are a coffee connoisseur. The babbling creek is so close by that hanging out on the back porch or in the hot tub was our favorite part. The spotlight on the creek & the string of lights on the porch were also a nice addition at night time. Can't wait to return!

Such a cozy cabin with all the comforts of home. Warm fireplace, clean hot tub outside and such a comfortable place. The owners thought of everything to make your stay enjoyable. Sitting on the porch and watching the leaves fall and seeing the deer jump around on the property were just great, so relaxing! Cabin was immaculately clean. Can’t wait to return someday soon!

This cabin was the perfect place for a relaxing get away with my wife. She loved the cabi so much she did not want to leave. The lighted Christmas tree was a wonderful touch. The whole cabin was perfect. The view and sounds of the stream off the back porch were truly relaxing.

Perfect cabin
We enjoyed our stay at this charming cabin. It is just perfect. Rustic, but updated. Had everything we needed. We loved the creek and our dogs loved exploring around it. Nice little walk to the pond also. Not hard to get to the house. Curvy roads but well maintained (even gravel road). Very quiet and private. Beds and pillows were very comfortable. Amber and Emily were a real pleasure to work with at the rental agency. Incredibly helpful and friendly. Great communication. Our cabin was ready about two hours early and they called to let us know which was perfect since we had just arrived in the area. Cabin is convenient to Banner Elk and Boone. The only suggestions I would make is maybe an end table beside the couch with a lamp for reading and placing a cup and an ottoman or footstools. Furniture was very comfortable though. Nice touch with the Keurig and pods and also grinder with beans. Wouldn’t hesitate to rent here again.

Quiet and convenient
This cabin is absolutely perfect! It was exceptionally clean and I am very picky when I comment on cleanliness but this cabin was spotless. It is well stocked with all you need. Each bedroom has its own bathroom and there is a sofa upstairs as well that could offer additional sleeping. The hot tub was wonderful and very clean. It has a wonderful little creek and fire pit area behind the cabin. There is a pond area that is catch and release that is only a brief walk down the driveway at the entrance to the Little Bavaria community. It is close to Boone, Blowing Rock, Grandfather mountain and it is only 30 min from Linville Falls. There are access points to the Blue Ridge parkway nearby as well. We had a wonderful weekend trip here and will definitely be back!!

Very soothing, except when it's not!
Cabin itself is perfect--clean & comfy! Check in: Having to go to a rental office is not convenient for checking in and definitely not for checking out. We arrived at 2:45 and were told we were "super early". Our VRBO confirmation said 3pm check in and that is what we went by to plan our drive/arrival. However, don't believe that--the rental contract states 4pm, and that is what it is. We had to kill over an hour with 2 restless dogs after a long drive. We were then given the wrong envelope entirely to the wrong property, but were able to go back in and fix it quickly after they called. Two things we were completely unaware of: Just atop the far bank of the tranquil creek, is a road. It is not a busy highway, but quite a busy throughfare this time of year. I wasn't expecting to watch and hear cars go by all day long. Next (and most concerning) was the construction taking place directly next door. We wanted to just listen to the creek and the birds all day a few of our days, but instead listened to VERY LOUD heavy machines jack hammering rock and cutting in a drive. It turned our "soothing" stay into a not so soothing one...starting at 8am and going until early evening. Of course, this is by no means the fault of the property owner itself, but it did diminish our level of enjoyment of the property. When all of that wasn't going on, we did enjoy the creek and a nice fire a few nights as well as the hot tub, grill, and coffee! The dogs had a blast playing in the creek. I can't say enough about how nice the cabin itself is--just perfect! It just would have been so much better without all of the extraneous activity...just bad timing, I guess. We only turned the TV on once and finally figured out the volume buttons are on the SIDE of the remote. Be sure to turn the light on down at the creek at night for a very nice ambiance! Also, I was absolutely tickled that DoorDash and Instacart both delivered here! We had t-bones for the grill, Panera, and Applebees brought right to our door. Instacart even delivered beer!!
