Absolutely magnificent

This place was absolutely beautiful. The house, the location, the waterfall, the atmosphere, etc. I could sit on the porch all day and listen to the waterfall. On a clear night the sky was filled with stars, we got to see a few shooting stars as well. Well worth the 13 plus hour drive to get here. I would definitely stay again.

A Beautiful Home sitting on the Stunning Falls

The home offers an absolutely stunning view of Crystal Falls. During our stay, we went hinking to the Giant Falls, Devil's Slide, Artitist Bluff, and Sabbaday Falls. It was a memorable stay for all of us (two adults and one dog).

What a wonderful weekend we had. The house was just as pictured on line and comfortable for all of us. The eclipse was the reason for being there and it did not disappoint. The weather was perfect, the falls were running fast and beautiful. Thank you Diane, we made some great memories.

Amazing stay at Crystal Falls

House was great! Clean, spacious, comfy, wonderful host and location was absolutely beautiful. I could have spent the entire week just sitting on the deck listing to the falls. We enjoyed riding our quads up the road to the trails and also trailering them to other trails in the area. Christine lake is beautiful. I couldnt believe how clear the water is. Everything about our trip was amazing. Thank you

Beautiful waterfall right off the deck. Clean. Lots of room. If you arrive at night, know that the entrance with the keypad is on the left. We had trouble finding it in the dark. But very nice stay!

Wonderful and Relaxing

My sister and her husband stayed at this fabulous house for 4 days. I couldn’t go but they had a wonderful experience. The house was spotless and cozy. The waterfalls were beautiful and they fell asleep listening to the falls. They sat out on the deck with a glass of wine and dinner. They definitely will be going back and I will be joining them! It’s a great place to just reset.

Amazing hidden gem

An awesome little cabin in an idyllic location. The falls are beautiful and fun to explore. Simply driving around the countryside near here is a treat. The property had plenty of beds and all the amenities that would be expected. The only possible things to look out for are a single bathroom (but as long as everyone coordinates this isn't an issue,) and insects depending on the season and how often the windows or doors are left with just the screens over them. Overall, well worth every penny.

Stunning

We lover this place, it look better than the pictures, lot of space, the bathroom is beautiful, the master bedroom is facing the waterfalls. They have all supplies you need like you are at home. The water falls in the back are great - They are called Crystal Waterfalls - After the bridge cross all the cement mural and walk on the woods pad a bit further and there is a spot with sand to relax in the water. Cold but great. Stunning house and waterfall. Thank you to the house owner for the communication and hospitality. We loved your place.

What a wonderful place this is. My sister and I brought our 80 year old mom for a long weekend and it was amazing. There was some rain the day and night before so the river was roaring! It was beautiful.The place itself was just as good. Pictures are very accurate. The kitchen was well equip with all we needed to be able to cook all our meals there. The beds were very comfortable and the seating in front of the picture window overlooking the waterfall was the perfect spot to sit and have coffee, eat dinner, or play games. Communication with the owners was easy and they gave fast responses. We are hoping to come back again next year.
