This is our second time staying here. We love it!

We've been coming to Lake Santeetlah for 30 years. There's no place more beautiful, and Raul's place is a great home from which to soak it all in.
4.7
We all had a great time with plenty of space for everyone. Beautiful home and gorgeous views of the lake and mountains.
4.7
This is the 5th year we have booked this house for our family summer vacation. The location is great, nit far from town. If you wanted to ride the tail of the dragon you are not far from that either. The view of the lake and surrounding mountains is perfect. The owners are great and easy to work with. We have experienced minor issues during our stays, nothing that caused us any distress. Send the owners a message and get either a call back or email reply or both very shortly. They are quick to get anything fixed that needs fixing.
I would definitely recommend staying here.

Absolutely beautiful home on fabulous Lake Santeetlah. We had a wonderful time just hanging out and using our kayaks. Definitely will want to return next summer!
4.7
The views are unreal and the water was perfect. This lake is a 10/10. The side of the lake that you look at is a national forest I believe so it is untouched wilderness. The house was perfect for us. Me, my husband and 4 kids used the basement. There were 2 bedrooms with very comfortable bunk beds, a large living space with deck access and a bathroom. One set of grandparents used the main floor master and the other used the top floor master. Each master had its own sitting room. Then the main floor had a huge living space with sliders leading off to top deck. Kitchen was large and the house has 2 eating areas. The deck by the water is huge and there is a refrigerator down there. Floating dock had tons of space to tie up all of your lake stuff and the water is deep for swimming, diving and all the fun stuff. We had a great time! Hope to rent this house again in the future!!

very nice property. nicely located. only problem we experienced was the propane gas grill ran out of propane after two uses
4.7
This house is located on the lake with some of the best views during a quiet week of fall color. We enjoyed every minute of our stay in this beautiful and well-equipped home! It is clean, had so many rooms that there was always a place to get away from others if you wanted. We cooked every night (thank you for the extra fridge in the garage), rented a pontoon, played ping pong and other games. Owner was very responsive to the one issue we had. GREAT STAY!
4.7
As always the owner is easy to deal with and takes care of any problems if they arise. We had a few issues this year nothing major but they were taken care of quickly. Definitely a great place to stay.

We had an amazing time here. House was nice and views were amazing.

Lake of dreams, Lake Santeetlah is my happy place, we have rented many houses over the years on the lake, the best view of the lake ! you don’t see your neighbors and they don’t see you, The house is very charming, accommodating, perfect choice, 100% a five star rental, so much fun for nine days. Thank you, we want to book it next year also, Others have commented on new comfortable outdoor seating, they are correct, and they deep cleaning also they were correct. But that did not stop us and will not stop us from returning to this wonderful home.

Won’t be back!
House needs work has an ant problem. Septic not working right couldn’t sit out on deck to enjoy the view, sewerage smell early morning and evening was gross. Driveway was a challenge to get in and out and gate wouldn’t open when we left so had to go out wrong way. Was a nightmare!
4.7
Wonderful!!!!
The location of the house was fantastic. The views and the windows were amazing. I've never seen a lake so beautiful. There was lots of things to do. We rented a boat for the lake, went hiking, white water rafting and on scenic drives. It was wonderful to have a pet friendly home so we could bring our whole family including the furry friends. I would definitely come back. I wish I could live in Santeetlah.....that's how much I loved it. The gardens around the house were also wonderful. Jealous of the hydrangeas. Never seen ones so big with such great flowers. The sunsets were fantastic. Thanks for letting us rent.

Great house
This house would’ve been perfect but there’s a couple things that need to be fixed. 1. I don’t know anyone who has rug in their bathrooms, I’m not talking about a drop rug, I’m talking about the entire bathroom being rug. 2. Buy some nice outdoor furniture it would’ve made the outdoor experience so much better. The view was excellent and the amount of room for the 10 of us was exceptional

Perfect Trip
Wow!! The house, neighbors, activities, and of course, beautiful Lake Santeelah were absolutely perfect! We have pictures from this trip off the deck of lightning , the gorgeous view, and even a shooting star. Perfect relaxing vacation. Love this vacation home!

Thanks for sharing!
Our first stay at this property was in 2011 and we just booked our ninth stay. Thank you, Raul, for sharing! This house has become a character in our family vacation stories. We love Santeetlah specifically because it is remote and inconvenient and Robbinsville is missing all the things that you'll get at Lake Toxaway or Highlands or Boone. Here you'll just get national forests, a quiet lake, and some of the best views anywhere. We love it and we'll be back for as long as Raul will have us.

Our family spent Christmas together at this fabulous lake lodge, everything about it is marvelous especially the million dollar view of Lake Santeetlah!!!! Loved every minute.

The view is absolutely beautiful. We spent most of our time on the deck. The house is spacious and comfortable. We didn't really need that much space for the 6 of us, but we have pets so it worked out perfectly and ultimately we enjoyed having the extra space. Would have been better if there was one more queen size bed. Fortunately, there is a full size lower bunk bed in each of the bunk rooms. Loved playing ping-pong in the garage and grilling out on the deck. The dock was a little awkward to walk on due to its movement and the give of the plastic material that its made of. However, it worked out well for the kayaks we brought and the pontoon we rented.

This was the third year we have stayed here for our summer vacation. The home is located at a great place on the lake with spectacular views. You couldn't ask for a better place to stay or better people to rent from.

This property was everything we hoped it would be. It was spacious and clean. The flowers were amazing. There was even a little playhouse with a lake view! The lake is beautiful and very swimmable. The nice dock right at the property was a huge plus. We didn’t have much luck fishing, however. The driveway is a doozy, as are most of them in that neighborhood. It gets easier after the first couple of times. The trash isn’t picked up, and you have to haul your trash a couple miles away to a dumpster, which wasn’t completely convenient, but it was doable. Wonderful place overall. I would definitely recommend.
4.7
Very large house with a great view and location. Good communication and easy check in process. Would be a good multi-family house, as well. The house has a dock which we used to keep a rental boat for the week. Overall a very good vacation rental experience.

The host was responsive and the property is exactly as it looks online. Can’t beat the view - we’d highly recommend!!

Winter family vacation
The views are stunning! You’re right on the lake with Mountain View! The house is spacious and there is enough room for the whole family! Lots of living spaces and places for the family to spread out.
The only downside to our stay, the heat did not work. The property manager sent someone out to try to repair. He wasn’t able to fix the heat. We did what we could to stay warm, bundling up using the fireplace and space heaters. It added to the rustic theme :)
I would visit again!
