Step out of the car and you are greeted with the crush of the waterfalls just below, and in an instant you understand exactly where the cabin got its name. An open and airy interior, charmingly quaint and cozy, tucked away in a rich natural landscape, Thunder Falls has a special atmosphere and appeal all its own. From the graveled parking area, you round the landscaped corner of the cabin, headed toward the sound and the cabin’s entrance and reach the hand laid stone path leading to the covered porch and the only thing that could possibly make the scene appear more like one from a storybook—a handmade wicker chair, rustic and inviting, a welcome seemingly from the surrounding forest itself beckoning you to sit and take it all in. The cool, clear waters of Turnip town Creek wind through the trees and around the bend, smoothing over stones, hollowing out perfect bowl shaped dips and narrow crevices and crannies as it cascades down the gentle sloping of the hillside. At Thunder Falls you have a birds-eye view of this scene. From the covered entrance, spacious front porch, or even the shaded picnic table deck perched on the hillside above the falls, the cabin’s outdoor living space is dedicated to helping guests soak in the cabins unique natural setting.

The kitchen, dining area, and area holding the sofas that surround the great room’s gas log fire place all open into each other and by extension of the windows and French doors, the serenity of the woods outside.
