Reasons to Book
  • 1,000 feet of private waterfront on Fightingtown Creek
  • Direct steps down to the water for easy fishing and creekside exploring
  • Fisherman’s paradise with prime whitewater access right outside your door
  • Elevated decks overlooking rushing rapids and wooded canyon views
  • Peaceful, secluded setting just minutes from McCaysville and Blue Ridge
If your idea of the perfect mountain escape includes casting a line just steps from your cabin, **Falcon’s Nest** is calling. Perched above the rushing waters of Fightingtown Creek, this beautifully remodeled tri level retreat is more than a scenic getaway. It is a true fisherman’s paradise set against the soundtrack of whitewater rapids.

Tucked into a wooded canyon ridge in McCaysville, just over ten miles from downtown Blue Ridge, Falcon’s Nest offers an extraordinary **1,000 feet of private waterfront**. The highlight of the experience is the direct access to the creek below. A series of **steps lead you down to the water’s edge**, where you can fish, wade, explore the shoreline, or simply sit close enough to feel the cool mist rising from the rapids. Whether you are an avid angler or just enjoy the peace that comes from standing beside moving water, this setting is unforgettable.

Fightingtown Creek is known for its beauty and its fishing, making early mornings especially magical. Imagine waking to the sound of rushing water, coffee in hand, as you head down to claim your favorite fishing spot before the day fully begins. Evenings are just as special, with the glow of sunset reflecting on the water and the steady current creating a calming rhythm that carries long after dark.

From the decks and expansive windows, you are treated to sweeping views of the creek below and the surrounding forest canopy. The cabin feels almost like a luxurious treehouse, elevated above the rapids yet intimately connected to them. You may even spot falcons nesting nearby, a reminder of the untouched wilderness that surrounds you.

Inside, Falcon’s Nest blends modern comfort with rustic character. The open living area is spacious and welcoming, designed for gathering after a full day outdoors. The fully stocked kitchen makes preparing fresh caught fish or a hearty mountain meal easy and enjoyable. Large decks extend the living space outside, offering prime vantage points to watch and listen to the water below.

After a day on the creek, relax in the hot tub or gather around the fire pit near the water’s edge, letting the sound of the rapids set the mood. With comfortable bedrooms and thoughtful amenities throughout, Falcon’s Nest ensures that your time here feels effortless.

At Falcon’s Nest, the water is not just a view. It is part of your experience, just steps away and always within reach.

This house sits directly on Fightingtown Creek. It's very spacious. Second floor houses the master bedroom only, very spacious, with french doors leading out to the covered porch and also a fireplace. The other bedrooms are on the bottom floor. Two of the bedrooms have french doors to access the porch. Plenty of parking, quiet and secluded. We very much loved this property and thoroughly enjoyed our stay!!!

The house is beautiful, it looks much nicer than the pictures. It is very bright and cozy. We love all the windows, decks and modern/industrial touches; it is very unique. The location and seclusion of this property is unmatched. It feels like being in a modern tree house in the woods somewhere in the Northwest. We would definitely come back.

It was clean and the modern finishes were a nice touch. We enjoyed the four bedroom layout, which included two ensuites. For the two bedrooms without the ensuites, there were still separate sinks and toilets which provided plenty of privacy. We loved the multiple deck areas and that it was on the river.

We LOVED our weekend and want to return! Proximity to the river is amazing! Loved the fire pit! My husband and I were there with our 4 adult kids (and 2 small dogs) and the king beds in every bedroom are important for everyone's comfort. Vacation homes may have enough bedrooms but usually only one room has a king bed. Very hard to find kings for all. Living room was comfortable. Loved all of the decks and of course the sound of the river! Seriously can't complain about this house! LOVED the décor! Its been updated since the pics were put on the website so I was even more impressed when I arrived!!! Very rare to find such a modern look in a mountain rental home!!!
