A beautiful setting and home helped make for a perfect week of rest and renewal.

Perfect for us, super clean and decorated in detail. Probably the most comfortable bed I've slept on while on vacation outside of top notch hotels. Definitely want to come back.

We had an amazing time at the Modica's cottage. They are wonderful hosts that truly care about making sure you have an enjoyable vacation. The cottage is easy to find, was very clean, and had an incredible view of the lake and mountains. The beds were very comfortable as was the seating in the living room and dining room. The dining table was perfect for meals and board games. Paddling around the lake was so peaceful. The proximity to great hiking trails and several whitewater rafting options makes the cottage ideal for those looking to spend time both on the water and in the mountains. They have a well stocked kitchen and there is a grocery store nearby. There are also plenty of great restaurants both in town and in the surrounding area. We would definitely stay at the cottage again if we are able to return to the area.

A quiet and relaxing stay. The cottage was perfect for our needs; clean, well-equipped and comfortable. The location was great for outdoor adventures in the area, such as hiking and kayaking, all in scenic surroundings. The property owner could not have been more accomodating to our inquiries and requests.

A lovely and thoughtfully appointed home in an ideal location. This home was very clean and stocked with almost everything we could have needed. We specifically sought out homes without animal head/skins etc. as decor and this house was true to the listing. Bright and tasteful decorating and multiple places to sit outdoors. The views of Lake Santeetlah were stunning at all times of the day. We loved having access to the kayaks and enjoyed the lake every day we were there. Additional note - we appreciated having a place nearby to drop our recyclables!

We really enjoyed our time here, perfect for two people. The porch and the dock were excellent, the kitchen well stocked, the beds comfy (and the internet good enough). Clean clean clean. A lovely property!

This is a beautiful cottage with a gorgeous view. We found the property to be well-maintained, clean (including the outside porch and furniture!), and equipped with everything needed for our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed using the kayaks and paddle boards that were provided with our stay. Our interaction with the hosts/owners was minimal (arrival/departure); however, you could tell they are nice people, available if you need them, and that they want you to enjoy your stay.

Lovely place in a perfect location in a cove. We spent most of our time on the large comfy porch watching the clouds and mountains. We kayaked, swam, hiked Joyce Kilmer and took evening strolls around the beautiful neighborhood. It’s a sweet place thoughtfully remodeled. We would definitely stay there again.

This cottage is well furnished and well maintained. They furnish a nice dock and kayaks, a canoe and paddle boards also. We throughly enjoyed our stay and would rent this location again when visiting the area! Thanks for a great stay!

Santeetlah is the perfect temp for swimming. The cottage is well stocked and peaceful.

Great location on the lake! House was very clean and well-appointed. Access to paddle boards, kayaks, & canoes was a big perk. The fire pit will be a great addition as well. Had some construction noise from next door (we stayed during the week, not over a weekend), but they wrapped up around 4pm daily so wasn’t too bothersome as we were out on the lake most of the day. Would definitely come back!

We enjoyed this clean and cozy cabin. It was very well-appointed (kitchen & bath included) and the beds were comfortable. Highlights included taking the kayaks, canoe, or SUP out in the mornings - and relaxing on the porch in the evenings - just gorgeous. We filled-in the days with drives to local trails and sights. Would stay here again.

The well-decorated cottage was absolutely perfect for the two of us. Spotlessly clean, well-equipped kitchen, comfortable bed with quality linens, fluffy towels in bathroom. We spent most of our time on the cozy porch taking advantage of the gorgeous view of lake, mountains, and stunning sunsets. We availed ourselves of the canoe and SUP that were graciously provided by the host. Quiet, walkable community. Can’t wait to go back!

Great weekend getaway with our family and children. Wonderful house and lake access with a great dock!

Lake Santeetlah is an isolated, quaint little community with gorgeous views of the Great Smoky Mountains. This property was perfect for a couple or a family with two younger children. Most the amenities of home, plus kayaks, a canoe and stand up paddle boards! If you want a peaceful stay on the lake with breathtaking views, singing birds, rustling leaves and lapping water, this place is for you. Many hiking places nearby and only about an hour and a half drive from popular sites such as the Great Smoky Mountain National park. Definitely a hidden gem.

We had a wonderful stay at this lakefront home with amazing views. The cottage was very clean, comfortable and well taken care of. We look forward to returning for our next fishing trip.

Incredible place to completely escape the rest of the world. Great property - Marc was great to work with!

The lakehouse was very nice for our getaway. It had everything we needed. Good location near the dragon and Robbinsville. The weather didn’t cooperate for us so we were stuck inside - not the fault of owner obviously.

Nice quiet getaway

This lakehouse was clean and the owners were really hospitable. Plenty of things to do inside and outside the property.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 8 night stay in this lake house on Santeetlah Lake! Although we didn’t use any of the water equipment provided, we were able to just relax and look at the lake and the stars from the couch. Even saw a few shooting stars! We hope to come back one day.

We hiked and kayaked and enjoyed relaxing on the porch overlooking the lake and mountains.

A great disconnect at the lake. Mid-October weather did not disappoint with great leaf color and warm weather that allowed time on/in the water. The cottage works well for cooking and family time on the porches and dock.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cottage. It was well equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Marc was a fantastic host who was quick to respond to any questions we had about our stay. Lake Santeetlah is so beautiful. We rented a boat for a day and floated around the lake. The views are outstanding. A big thanks to the Modicas for sharing their place. We would definitely recommend it and would love to return someday!
