Every summer my family, cousins, uncles, aunts, nieces and nephews go on vacation together. We often struggle to find the house that meets all of our needs. This house is that house. We have toddlers, teens, middle aged and elderly. We cook every meal and need a variety of activities. This house has communal space for reading, card games, jigsaw puzzling, kayaking, swimming, fire pit nights. The kitchen is equipped for anything you can cook and plenty of forks for everyone! It is beautifully appointed and yet very comfortable. The cove of Lake Nottelly this house is on is quiet and beautiful with mountain views from the dock. The owners of this property are communicative and responsive. We love staying at The Daring Horseman!

Sandi and Moose were great host. Great size home on the lake for our family, with 3 master bedrooms and plenty of other spaces with beds, bath and social spaces. This home was very accommodating and pleasant to stay in.

This house was perfect for families to get together! They provide EVERYTHING you need to have a great time with kids at the lake! We will be back!

We loved everything about the house the location, everything. So much room for my family of 15. Everyone loved this property so so much. The location is fantastic. My grandkids loved the kayaks and fishing. And we all loved sitting by the fire pit. I’d definitely recommend this house and I’d definitely go back there. Sandi, the owner, was wonderful to work with. We had zero issues Fantastic get away. We loved every second

This property was perfect for our family of 13. We love Lake Nottely and plan an annual trip to hangout and have fun. It is also very convenient to the Nottely Marina where we get our pontoon boat rental. We enjoyed the home very much. The dock was great. The kitchen had everything we needed. We also used the fire pit outside.
4.9
The house was perfect for our family of 12. Plenty to do with the paddle boards and water toys. The kids enjoyed swimming and fishing from the dock. We rented a boat from the marina which is right around the corner. Huge dining table was great for family board games and loved the screen porch for rainy day reading. Plenty of room for all the spread out. All descriptions and communication were on point. Would definitely return.
4.9
I would give more than 5 stars if I could. There are so many extra amenities with this beautiful, amazing home that are not even listed. Comfort creatures, everything you would ever need in the kitchen - with our family and kids in and out of the lake - we cooked every day. Had s’mores at the fire pit - just bring your fixings! Lots of life vests in case your forget one (although we all each have our own). Lake “toys” for kids of all ages. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for private spaces. We almost never turned on a tv!
Sandi is a top notch communicator and so accommodating, which made our 2 week stay even easier and stress free! Thanks, Sandi.
We all hated to leave and everyone said the home and perfect weather made it so hard to do so.
4.9
This is our 3rd stay in this home on Nottely. The house fits our group of 12 easily and is well appointed with everything you could need - we used the paddle board, kayak, hammock, the boat tube, and more! The screened in porch was a perfect spot to watch the sunset. Already planning our return trip.
4.9
The kitchen had everything we needed and more. Even though it rained almost every day we had plenty to do. Fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding and swimming. Golfing nearby. Very comfortable beds. The 2nd refrigerator downstairs was an essential for our group. We will be back!!!!

We loved this house! Perfect location so close to the marina and wide area of the lake with little traffic. The home has so many great amenities— they leave all spices available for you to use which is a great help. The pantry is not open so count on counter space for food. The rooms had awesome beds for small kids to sleep with parents. Two huge masters upstairs with three beds. The other room upstairs is perfect for two kids. The walk down to the lake was easy and not as steep as other rentals. This is a great place for a family get together!
Our only drawback was lack of drapes/shades in the bedrooms and the two beds in the basement that are out in the open facing the windows without drapes to shut out light.
We would love to return next year and know you will also love this house.

We had a surprise engagement celebration and it couldn’t have worked out better. The house and area was perfect. The house had everything we needed plus some. It was super clean. We enjoyed our time on the lake in the kayaks that were provided and enjoyed the porches. The kids enjoyed playing in the lower level with the provided toys, games, and other activities. A++!

We thoroughly enjoyed a weekend family reunion in this stunning location. The views over the lake, combined with a wood-burning fireplace provided the perfect setting. Large seating area, fully-furnished kitchen, and play area for children downstairs made it very practical for our large group. The very large table was a personal highlight, allowing us to all eat together and enjoy unhurried conversation over meals. With chilly evenings, we even made use of the outdoor fire pit, allowing children to swim yet warm up by the fire. The weather was not quite warm enough for us to utilize the large screened in porch, but that provides another exceptional living space. Children also really enjoyed the SUPs and kayaks, allowing them a bit of lake fun even in early March! Would we come again? Definitely!
4.9
This property is a great destination for retreat or family reunion as it sleeps 16 comfortably as advertised. The kitchen was well-stocked as advertised. Very comfortable living spaces. We were very pleased with our stay.

This was our second fall trip to the Daring Horseman. This house is large enough to accommodate a large group and has everything you need! The location can’t be beat. The lake was freezing but that didn’t deter us from taking a quick plunge and using the kayaks and SUP that’s provided. Literally the only thing this rental lacks is a hot tub. Most of our time was spent gathered around the fire pit and enjoying the beautiful lake and fall foliage. Sandi is very responsive to any questions. Hoping to continue our annual tradition here!!
4.9
This is the second time we rented this house and it’s absolutely beautiful!! The kitchen is beyond well stocked and the house is decorated in such a pretty way. Sandi is fabulous and we hope to stay here again and again!!!

Great house. Well stocked kitchen. Very spacious.

Our annual family summer vacation was indeed paradise at this lovely home and setting. Being that we live near the beach in Wilmington, NC our family likes to go to the mountains & lake settings for vacations. Our first time at Lake Nottely was a golden find with the design and generous amenities that the owners have made for this rental. Everything was top-notch from the house's cleanliness, outdoor lake toys, the comfortable beds & furniture, appliances, the wonderful downstairs with new renovations and added queen suite to the shadowed settings in summer's heat for outdoor seating. Fire pit for sunset & smores enjoyment.
The spacious kitchen, filled with every pot & pan, great appliances, and supplies for cooking. The 6 grandchildren teamed up to cook gourmet meals nightly. We loved sitting at the huge dining table together, fitting more than even our family size.
For outdoor fun we used the kayaks, paddleboards, and life jackets at house. We rented pontoon boat from Lake Nottely Marina, so we could explore lake . Kids loved jumping from swings & cliffs as shown on map that's provided by homeowners. We enjoyed a day of golf in Blairsville at Old Union and horseback riding at Appalachian trail near Blue Ridge. Shopping & dining at lovely Blue Ridge is a must! The 2 hr. scenic train ride leaves from Blue Ridge as well.
As you can tell, we couldn't have been any more pleased with our stay at The Daring Horseman. We have always used VRBO for our annual family vacations, but must say that booking this rental 4 months ago was a gem. You'll find that owner, Sandi is wonderful in responding to any questions, even to our losing our way to Cozy Cove on the 1st day. A real paradise in the woods!

Lake life days
We booked the Daring Horseman house for our annual family vacation. We had 3 couples and 6 kids ranging from 4 to 18. We were looking for a lake house with water fun and a relaxing environment to sit and visit and we found it in this house!
There was plenty of space to spread out and the sleeping arrangements easily accomodated our group of 12. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook and serve meals. And there were 2 fridges to store food and drinks.
The house had several kayaks, paddle boards and floats for swimming from the dock. The lake is beautiful and quiet for relaxing swims with the kids. And in the evenings, the fire pit area provided a great place to relax and enjoy lake life.

Fantastic lake house!
The house is gorgeous and had such easy access to the lake. Advertised as a fully stocked kitchen and did not disappoint!! We had a big group of people who love to cook and all of us were so impressed with the supplies available to us in the kitchen. The owner was lovely and very easy to get in touch with! Loved our stay!!!

We rented the Daring Horseman for a bi-annual boys weekend with friends from college. An unfortunate Covid exposure the day before we were scheduled left me out for the weekend. However, the boys soldiered on without me.
Here is what the fellas said:
The house is great, roomy, well appointed.
Fire pit was great, they spent a lot of time there.
I was warned that the parking could only hold about 4 cars and no parking on the street. I was told that parking horizontally they easily parked 6 cars.
