A great place to beat the summer heat! We enjoyed our stay at this house. Location to the lake was great.. We got in the lake everyday. Cooked all our meals in the kitchen and my kids even made me a birthday cake from scratch! Spent a day visiting Murphy and Franklin. River walk in Murphy was worth the trip. Went to Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest too, this was a nice day trip. I would say the stairs were kind of steep going up to the house, you cannot tell this from the pictures , upstairs in the house and down to the dock. I had considered bringing my dad who is in his 70’s and was glad it did not workout he would have had trouble with these. We were fine with them but just a note of caution. Also the loft and basement room I thought were accessible from inside the house as well as had its own entrance but it is only accessible from its own entrance door from outside the house. I private area for an extra guest but we though one of our kids could stay here but we’re not comfortable with them not having direct access to the interior of the house with our having to go outside and upstairs to the deck then in the main entrance. Would be great for privacy if you had extra person with you that wanted that.

The view of the lake was amazing. The house was perfect for us. The kitchen was fully stocked and the house was clean. Best vacation!

We absolutely loved every minute of our stay here. The cabin was so warm, inviting and comfortable. Super convenient for day trips to nearby towns and hikes. Would definitely stay here again! Chris was easy to communicate with and went the extra mile to make sure we had everything we needed. Very responsive host!

We had a great time. View is amazing and having access to kayaks is an added bonus. Great place to stay if you’re looking for a quiet place on the lake.

I have long thought that the southwestern portion of North Carolina was incredibly beautiful, but I was unprepared at house gorgeous the view was from this house. W

This was an excellent experience, from the property itself to the management process. The lake was so beautiful, the house was Lake decor perfect, and working with Chris to book it was so easy. The check in/out instructions were very clear. I would recommend buying floats for the lake before arriving. The nearest grocery store in Andrews is 30 minutes away, and the nearest Walmart to buy floats was in Murphy which was 40 minutes away. Once you have groceries, you will not want to leave the property. We will be returning! :-)

2nd time to Lake Nantahala. House was clean and comfortable. The location/view is amazing. We were there celebrating my daughter graduating from high school. It was me, my wife, and my 2 teenage daughters. The house was perfect size. The downstairs portion (which has a completely separate entrance) would only be appropriate for an older teen or young adult to utilize. The kitchen was very well stocked. Grab all your groceries on the way in. Closest store is about 25 minutes away. Gas grill on the upper deck was nice and clean and worked perfectly. We rented a pontoon boat from Lakes End Marina which is only a mile away. This marina also has a restaurant that we found to be very good. Kept the boat for 4 days at our own dock which was super convenient. We did a lot of tubing and knee-boarding. No luck fishing although we tried, tried, and tried. Spent a day at the Nantahala Outdoor Center (NOC) whitewater rafting and it was superb. The NOC is about 30 mins away and it's an easy drive. As others have commented, you do have to cross the road to get to your private dock, but we didn't find it to be an issue at all. I highly recommend renting this house to small families. And I'll say it one more time, the views from the deck are breathtaking!!

Communication was fluent and owner was very responsive throughout the process. The property was perfect for our family- enjoyed fishing, kayaking and hiking near by. Brought all food for the four days, thankfully, as you are somewhat secluded.. Note the marina restaurant is not open on Monday’s. Scenery is perfect and everything we could ever want or need was there. We loved our stay!

Stunning views from this great lakeside house! Clean, easy access to everything the Nantahala region has to offer. And the 4th celebration on the lake was super. Highly recommend for group of 6 or fewer.

We enjoyed a lovely time in this sparkling clean home! I'm not sure we've ever stayed in a cleaner VRBO. And we've stayed in many. You can sit on the porch and hear the gentle waterfall that runs through the national forest that literally borders the property! There are nice upgrades in the kitchen and it was well stocked for this always cooking family. The flora and fauna around the home are beautiful. The views are amazing (complete with a bald eagle's nest across the lake!). We spent hours just sitting and watching the wonder of our view. The owner was incredibly responsive, kind and accommodating. The only drawbacks for us - very squeaky beds in the second bedroom and a dying ceiling fan in the master bedroom; Painfully slow wi-fi (but we weren't there for the technology, we just had a kid who had to turn in an assignment online); The road in front of the home (that you must cross to get access to the lake) was surprisingly busy and often noisy with motorcycles and trucks; The porch that provides the incredible views could be more comfortably furnished. I wouldn't count the basement as an option for sleeping. Maybe a teen would choose it, but no adult I know would and the separate entrance makes it a no-go for a child. It wasn't a big deal to us, but it's worth noting. Overall, we enjoyed our stay at this spotless, charming mountain lake home and it's proximity to the boat launch, trails and must visit sites such as the Wayah Bald tower. Don't count on quickly picking up what you may have forgotten. You are truly in the mountains with little access to groceries nearby. But, that's part of the beauty! We would absolutely recommend this rental to a small, adventurous, but careful, family.

We enjoyed staying at this house located right on the lake. Chris was responsive when we needed assistance and the house was exactly what we wanted for a relaxing vacation.

Although we really enjoyed the house we felt that the listing didn't give us an accurate description of the lodgings. We suggested this trip to friends and were very disappointed to see the cellar was counted as bedroom.

This is a beautiful and newly remodeled home right on Nantahala Lake. Even though it's remodeled it still has a cabin/country feel with the decor, and gas fireplace. With us being from a larger city we definitely enjoyed the peace and quiet here. It was very refreshing. Being on the lake with 3 kayaks provided is also an awesome bonus! Just be sure to stop at the store on the way in, as the nearest larger store is about 30 minutes away. Chris was awesome to book with, and made the check in very easy for us. He provides all the info you need for check in, and is very responsive to questions and concerns. We will definitely be back!

Enjoyed our stay at your home.

My family and friends had an amazing time. Very clean and updated house , quiet, easy access to the lake.

The house and property (and dock) is very well maintained. The check-in instructions were easy and just as described. The house and basement loft were very clean, and my friends and I felt really comfortable. There are three kayaks that are available for the renters to use. My friends and I enjoyed exploring the lake and relaxing on the dock. It was easy communicating with the property manager as he promptly answered my questions. If you are looking for a low key, relaxing vacation with great views, I would definitely recommend staying here.

Perfect location for our family for the week! Dock, kayaks, and lots of fun!

Our family had an amazing stay. Nick was very responsive, the view spectacular and accommodations top notch. The close proximity to the marina made it easy to rent boats and meet some great people. Thank You!!

Had a great time

We really enjoyed our week at this house. It was perfect for our family of five. The home was very clean and had all the needed items and the kitchen was also very well stocked. The view was absolutely beautiful from the house. Location was also good. Not far at all from the towns of Franklin and Andrews and an easy drive to Nantahala Outdoor Center.

We had a great stay. The house is very clean and recently remodeled. Beautiful view of the lake with a great dock. The owner was both very nice and extremely responsive. We would look forward to staying here again.

Great
