About this cabin rental
A traditional log home, completely wood inside and out. Just a small glimpse of heaven from this beautiful lakefront log home with breathtaking views of Nantahala Lake and the mountains surrounding it. The majestic mountains rising out of the crystal clear mountain lake waters are the backdrop for a wonderful vacation. This large body of water towers at the height of 3013 ft above sea level.
The spaces inside are large and comfortable for 10 people. The kitchen is fully equipped and modern with a Jenn-Aire dual fuel gas stovetop cooking and electric baking. The dining table will seat 8 people comfortably and has a view of the lake. The bedrooms all have queen or king beds. The basement has a pool table, a TV and a table top shuffle board table, all for your entertainment. It also has an additional bathroom with a shower/tub combination and a laundry room with a washer and dryer.
There is an outdoor fire pit for roasting marshmallows and making s'mores or build a fire outside and enjoy. If you choose to bring a boat, there is deep water, concrete, public ramp for launching nearby, and we have a deep water dock for keeping your boat during your stay. The lake is lowered by Duke Energy beginning around the middle of September, and it doesn't come back up until the spring. During these times, the dock will be resting on the lake bottom.
The gentle slope from the house to the lake and dock is easy to walk along the gravel path, which has a few landings. Enjoy sitting outside and watching the lake's water activities.
Photos of the interior can be relied on for a general feel of the furnishings; however, the furnishings may be changed from time to time. Photos of the exterior can be relied on for a general feel of the walk down to the dock. Don't think that they were taken yesterday, they weren't, but it is still the same backyard. The summer months have more foliage on the plants and trees than the winter months. The exterior photos were taken in the cooler months, and we don't show all the seasons in our photos. Heavy rains will cause the pea gravel to move, and that is unfortunate, but we don't have a lawn maintenance person to add more gravel. The mountains are natural, and we want to keep it that way.
There is a Harrah's Casino within a 45-minute drive.
Must be 28 years or older to rent.
The drive to the cabin is about 20 minutes of gravel, single-lane road, and is not conducive to low-riding vehicles.

We've stayed at a number of cabins on Lake Nantahala and this log home is at the top of the list. The five bedrooms with were perfect for our group of mostly couples, the walk from the cabin to the dock was relatively easy, and the parking situation was great. We loved the cozy, relaxing atmosphere of the cabin.

Perfect place for our extended family of 10. Beautiful setting with great lake access. The house had everything we needed.

From the breathtaking lake views, to the cozy yet spacious cabin everything is absolutely amazing. My family and I stayed a week, and didn’t ever want to leave the cabin. Such a relaxing spot and perfect for quality time, everything in the cabin is set up for an unforgettable stay. Highly recommend! The owners are amazing, and so helpful when needing questions answered as we are from Florida and things are a bit different down there. Can’t wait to plan another stay and come back.

Our second time at Nantahala Lake, again amazing. We had a great time at this house, which was the perfect size, and loved the visits from otters and ducks. The dock was great, and allowed us to enjoy our boat and the lake to the fullest extent.

We rented this property for a gathering of close friends. The house is very well appointed and the location is amazing. We were able to rent a boat that was delivered right to the dock. Would highly recommend this for any large family.

Great Vacation!
Rented the cabin for 10 nights. Had a great time hanging out on the dock and kayaking on the lake. Rented a Ski boat for 3 days of our stay. Only left the cabin to buy groceries.

We loved everything about the cabin. No complaints! We wanted to be directly on the lake this year so it was perfect. Our kids spent most of the time on the dock fishing and swimming. The screened in porch on the main floor was one of our favorite places to hang out. Beautiful place !

The Matern’s cabin is a beautifully designed cabin that accommodates a large group of 10 and you never feel crowded! The lay out of the cabin includes many sitting areas to give everyone the privacy they need. The cabin is situated in a prime location on the lake with a dock and very nice walk way. The owners were very accommodating and informative. Ask questions if you need to know anything! The kitchen is Very well stocked with most anything you will need! We are big cookers and we’re quite comfortable in the kitchen! Drive is not as bad as some say. First trip up is a little Intimidating but gets easier each time! We were there the beginning of June and did not have Four-wheel-drive or all wheel drive and did just fine. Look for the waterfall in finger of lake if you rent a boat. It is well worth the hike up! Wayah bald is beautiful scenery although if you like hiking, try bartram trail near the lakes end marina.

Stunning and peaceful location! The pictures do not do it justice. House was fully stocked with board games, kitchen items, etc. The driveway/roadway leading there is a bit tricky and as much as you read over the directions it is still hard to find, but don't let that discourage you. You will loose cell service so make sure you print out directions and info.
This was our first family vacation with three families coming together and it could not have gone any better. Thank you for sharing this hidden gem!

The cabin and location was awesome. We had the best time. The lake and the views were astounding. The kids had a blast in the cabin, ping pong tournaments, hot tub, being on the lake, making nightly s’mores, catching fire flies, white water rafting, zip-lining, hiking, and rainbow trout fishing for dinner. This is a must do when considering the area. You won’t be let down!

Everything perfect about this cabin. Amazing decoration, kitchen full stacked, location beautiful. There is no streaming of Netflix or Hulu - just get over it, get some scotch and finally start talk to each other. Definitely coming back.

Fantastic Retreat
We have been staying at this property for several years now. The owners are amazing - quick to communicate and always make sure our stay goes well. The home and property provide the perfect get away to recharge. I highly recommend it.

We had the most wonderful time staying at this property! First, the property manager is super responsive and provided amazing information to help with our stay, including directions (which were super accurate!). The house is large and spacious with several places to sit, relax, chat, eat and enjoy the lake views. It is very well appointed and had everything we needed. The dock is in a great location on the lake; we took our paddleboards and paddled every day. There was not much boat traffic on the lake and it was clear, refreshing and the water was glass-like most of the time. There were just three of us, but you could easily host a couple of families and have plenty of space! We will definitely be back!

Beautiful Mountain Home
My family and I stayed at the property over 4th of July. The location was beautiful but was very remote as stated in the listings and other reviews. We did not need a 4WD vehicle to navigate the dirt / gravel roads and did just fine.
4.9
The rental property was absolutely gorgeous! The layout and features of the house were really nice, especially the screened in porch with the fireplace. The pool table and ping pong table kept the kids occupied during the rain spouts. The dock was large enough to accommodate our 23ft ski boat And not enough can be said about the lake! We rented kayaks and canoes from the marina. And also enjoyed the Friday, all you can eat fish. On the lake we found the rope swing, waterfall and abundant wildlife. The house was really comfortable for our family!

I would like to begin by saying we had a good time at the house. Kids enjoyed swimming in the lake, tubing and we all enjoyed the fire pit and exploring all the area had to offer.
The rental instructions were confusing and in places contradicted each other. Trash instructions were also confusing.
The house itself is nice, has plenty of space and has a wonderful cabin feel. However, it is getting old and needs a bit of TLC. The carpet in the lower level is a bit old and worn and shows it’s age.
The biggest issue we have is the pictures of the outside are not a true representation of what the lake front and path area actually look like. Not sure when they were taken but that isn’t what it looks like now. The path is washed out in spots and is hard to walk, the bushes are over grown and the steams are in disrepair.
The lake front is full of logs and branches and was a place where the forest creatures could hang out and become part of your gathering.
Again… our family enjoyed the cabin and we had fun. Please update your photos so people can make an informed decision.

This is such a beautiful home. It is like being inside of the great artist Maxfield Parrish’s “The Garden”. The owner is generous to share such a gem. All vacations must end but this will be remembered for many years to come. The young ones in my group (2,4,6,8 yrs), said they wanted to stay and have us all live there together.

Perfect house for a family vacation! Stunning!
We chose this house for our extended family vacation over Thanksgiving. The house was perfect! The setup of the house allowed our family to have plenty time together yet still have quiet spaces to relax in. The house is well appointed with everything you need for a mountain stay. We enjoyed the fireplaces every day. The kids and adults loved the ping pong and pool table downstairs. The owners made sure we had everything we needed and were quick to respond to any questions. If you’re looking for a lovely home to relax, recharge and unwind in while enjoying the beauty and serenity of the mountains, this is the ideal house. We will definitely go back. Loved every minute of being there!

Excellent Get Away
First and foremost the house was incredible. There was plenty of room for our group of 10 to spread out and enjoy the comfortable space. The lake access was amazing and we were able to enjoy the unseasonably warm weather. The house was also extremely clean and well kept. I would definitely rent this property again if I ever plan another mountain/lake vacation.

We had a wonderful week at a beautiful home! The getting there was a little tricky but worth the drive! The internet and cell phone service was limited and spotty. Overall a great week!

The property and the house were gorgeous. I took hundreds of nature photos and simply enjoyed sitting on the dock enjoying nature. My family loved the house and all its amenities. The pool table, ping pong table, and air hockey table were fantastic during the rain.
The property and house were clean, but there were a lot of millipedes in the basement and someone prior to our stay left their fishing tackle on the pier. The clothes dryer may need maintenance as it took 2 cycles to dry clothes, towels and linens.
When we arrived the housekeeper had set the inside alarm so it went off because we didn't have the code (we had the gate and door code) but the owner was able to help use resolve that. Our cell phones didn't work so we had to use the phone inside the house to call out for assistance.
The home was fantastic and just what we needed for a quiet family getaway. The lake is gorgeous and we were close to some hiking and a lot of rafting companies.
Thanks for the use of your home for our vacation and we hope to return in the future.

2nd times a charm........
Literally our 2nd visit to Stoneybrook. We enjoy the time on the lake and accessing the waterfall, the dam, and tubing all via our boat. The entire family all enjoy this cabin, the space, the access, and design of the home. It is a peaceful and a good place breakaway for a bit! Prepare ahead with meals and supplies. Unplug and Enjoy!
