About this house rental

Come enjoy our second home, Nantahala Haven, on beautiful Lake Nantahala. Lake Nantahala is second highest lake east of the Mississippi River and is located within the Nantahala National Forest at 3,000 feet of elevation. Its waters are crystal clear with multiple waterfalls pouring into the lake along its 33+ miles of shoreline. It is surrounded by the Smokey Mountains and has sweeping mountain views. The vast majority of the shoreline is protected by the Nantahala National Forest and there are only approximately 100 lake front homes on Lake Nantahala.

Lake Nantahala is an approximately 2 hour drive from Atlanta, GA or Asheville, NC.

Lake Nantahala is one of the Souths best fishing lakes with Wallaye, Small and Largemouth Bass, Kokanee Salmon, Trout and other types of fish.

The Nantahala River is a 10 minute drive and has world class trout fishing and is a beautiful setting!

Due to its remote location, it is never crowded. There are no horsepower restrictions for boating and two local marinas have all types of boats for rent. A public boat ramp is less than 1 mile from the house.

Nantahala Haven is located within the gated neighborhood of Nantahala Shores. It is waterfront and one of the few houses in Nantahala Shores that is built close to the water to allow spectacular mountain and lake views during all seasons. There are steps with rails to get from parking to front entrance of the house.

Nantahala Haven is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath home that has a King size bed in the master, with living room and kitchen overlooking the lake. Guest bedrooms and loft include queen and twin sized beds.

Nantahala Haven has a gentle slope to a private dock. Kayaks, floats and life vests are included. There is a gas grill, Solo fire pit and deck overlooking the water. Towels are provided as well for use on the water. DirecTV and WiFi are available.

In addition to the lake, other activities nearby include hiking (Appalachian and Bartram trails), mountain biking, whitewater rafting or trout fishing on the Nantahala River. We are located about 90 minutes from Cherokee, NC which is the gateway to the Great Smokey Mountains National Park and also the home of the Cherokee Casino.

We purchased this home in 2018. It was previously listed on VRBO for 10 years and had a perfect 17/17 5* reviews. VRBO listings are non-transferable to new owners but we are confident that you will love your stay and would welcome you to experience our families favorite lake front getaway!!!

Bookings are Saturday - Saturday during June - August unless a different request is granted by owner. For other months, owners are happy to book for less than 7 days.

We have visited Nantahala with a family group for over 40 years. This cabin was very nice and the hosts were very accommodating. It is not for anyone who has trouble with stairs, but we were informed about that and the steep driveway. Everything we need was supplied and the lake is gorgeous. Just bring food.

Stairs - Beware!
Stairs - Beware!
The view of the lake from the cabin is absolutely, one-hundred percent beautiful! We really enjoyed using the kayaks every day. It is so peaceful and calm there. That being said, there were a few negatives. Except for the one bed, all the rest of the beds were exceptionally hard, which made every night an uncomfortable night's sleep for most of us. Another important item to note is that there are 40 steep stairs to access the house from the driveway, and the driveway is also very steep. It is not wheelchair accessible and is very difficult for anyone not in good physical shape to manage. Finally, the WiFi is satellite and extremely slow.

Road leading to house was mud with some gravel one lane, two way traffic, large ruts from rain run off. Booked a hotel and left the home. Very high in mountains, road too treacherous to travel. House smelled musty and sliding doors were off their tracks. At that point I no longer qualified for refund, my first VRBO fail.

Lovely Lake vacation for all ages!

This is our second time back to this fantastic house. We came with two small children and, while we had to be careful with the steep stairs down to the dock, I so appreciated all of the details that made it a great respite for our family. There were life jackets for all sizes, puzzles and games, comfortable beds, black-out shades, and even picture books in the kids' room. We had fun swimming and kayaking from the house, and also taking excursions to hikes and waterfalls. Thanks for a great stay!
