The Property

Laughing Waters is a private, magical retreat center 25 minutes from Asheville, NC, nestled in the Hickory Nut Gorge, beside a tumbling creek with many waterfalls. Visitors have access to miles of award-winning hiking trails. Being here feels like going back in time.

Ancient stone walls, the ruins of an old farmhouse, and a reconstructed gristmill are a few of the historic features of this place.
