Our stay at the Buffalo Lake House was wonderful. All our needs were taken care of. Everyone had a cozy bed to sleep in and plenty of soft towels for showers. The bathrooms were well stocked with toiletries. The house is well stocked with supplies and necessaries for cooking, dining and lounging around. The wifi worked as expected. Every sleeping area had a flat-screen TV with plenty of apps to watch. We especially liked the upper and lower decks that look out over the lake and up at those beautiful smokey mountains. They’re both peaceful and serene with plenty of seating for everyone. The dock is a short walk away from the house providing quick access to the water. We brought some kayaks and used the ones provided as well. Again, everything needed to kayak is there; kayaks, lifejackets and oars. We never used the fire pit but it beckoned! It’s at the bottom of the hill and plenty of firewood was available right there. Next to the fire pit is a beach of sorts. Large, flat rocks are layed out in the water and offered easy access to a swim in the lake. Santeetlah Lake is one of the most beautiful lakes I’ve ever seen and the water could not have felt better.
