Stunning lake front cabin!!

I had an absolutely incredible stay at this rental home on Lake Nantahala! The views were truly breathtaking, and waking up to the serene lake every morning was a dream come true. The amenities were top-notch, including a game room, making the entire experience even more enjoyable with kids. The private boat dock was a fantastic addition, allowing us to explore the lake at our leisure. I can't recommend this place enough - five stars all the way!

Comfortable home

We were very pleased with this place. Very roomy and had everything we needed. We quickly selected our rooms and moved in for a great stay. Enjoyed the fire places on the cool evenings andmornings. We fished and caught trout. We just had a great time! Our 11 yr old Grandson especially enjoyed the ping pong, air hockey, basketball and foosball. He was never bored. Will certainly stay here again if opportunity arises. Thanks for sharing your home. Its clear you enjoy it too!! mirnings.

Best vacation ever

Every year I spend weeks, if not months, looking for the perfect place for us to stay on vacation. This was the perfect place. The house was amazing with so much space. The dock was amazing anlso, and 3 levels of porches that had the best view ever!!! My husband is a man of few words and he told me several times how great of a choice I made. The house was cozy and cute. The game room was perfect ( I won basket ball twice ) the fire pit area was unbelievable. Was nice to have the satellite as we watched several movies. The kitchen had everything we needed. Plenty of towels to use while swimming. The drive up to the home is beautiful. The drive way is not for a weak driver!!! All in all this home is definitely a 10 in my book!!! We did rent a book and spent the day on the lake which was the best way to spend a day. Lakes End Marina had the perfect boat. The staff was great and the kids spent almost all day on the tube. Probably the best vacation we’ve had and we take several a year. Highly recommend this home for the perfect vacation spot❤️

Great House on a Pristine Lake!

We had an amazing stay at Dwight’s house! The property was well-stocked with everything a typical family might need. The master bedroom was spacious and luxurious, and our teenagers absolutely loved the middle-level bunk room, complete with a couch, TV, and easy access to the game room garage. The balconies on each level offered stunning views of the lake, which we enjoyed every day. Renting a boat was a great decision, and having the dock right there was a huge plus. We also made good use of the kayaks and canoe to explore the pristine lake. Evenings by the deck fireplace were a highlight, offering the perfect way to unwind after a day of various outdoor activities. As for accessibility, the house is about 10-12 minutes from the main road, with somewhat steep and winding roads, but we were well-prepared thanks to other reviews. The driveway is indeed a challenge due to its steepness and a single switchback. We had an SUV and a newer sedan; while the sedan managed, it wasn’t easy, especially when it rained. Luckily, there’s a turnoff at the top of the driveway where you can park if you prefer not to navigate the driveway in the rain. I’d recommend bringing at least one SUV or truck if possible. Overall, the house, its amenities, the lake, and nearby outdoor activities more than made up for these minor challenges. We highly recommend this home for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway!

This house exceeded our expectations. Spacious and equipped with everything that you need. The quiet, peaceful location is perfect for relaxing and boating. We loved using the kayaks and canoe available by the dock. If you rent a boat from the marina, you can keep it overnight at the dock. Unlike some properties that have long staircases to get to the dock, this one is very close, just few steps from the lower deck. The views from the firepit were amazing, it helps when the full moon makes an entrance :). The owners were fantastic and very responsive.

We had a wonderful family vacation as this house had everything you could want. Very clean and lots of great amenities. I was hesitant to try to drive the car down the driveway but we had a 4-wheel drive which had no difficulty. Probably could have made it but didn’t need to take the chance. The house was great for the 9 of us as everyone had their own space and all had a great time. Fishing, swimming, s’mores over the campfire and lots of relaxing on the deck with great views. Would definitely recommend staying here.

This property was beautiful. We had so much to do while at the house. The kids truly enjoyed the gameroom and hanging out on the dock. It’s tucked up in the mountains away from everything. Everything you need is there and easily accessible. The rooms are great and the beds were very comfy. Dwight answered our questions and provided useful information in advance. I would definitely recommend this lakeside retreat. Thanks for having us we will be back.

Just wish the driveway wasn’t so steep and hard to get in and out of. Wasn’t there long enough to call about the fireplace usage in living room that would’ve been nice to use. Otherwise it was decent for our extreme short trip. Thanks
