About this house rental

If you are looking for a classic mountain getaway, with a superb location in the Nantahala National Forest - on Lake Nantahala - this is your place! By 'classic' we mean it was built by our children's great-grandparents as a mountain vacation home and fishing base back in the '60s. It is NOT a million dollar McMansion thrown up a few years ago that will cost a fortune to rent. It's our family lakehouse. And, we're happy to rent it to you.

This vacation get-away is located on Lake Nantahala with direct access to a private dock and absolutely beautiful views of the lake and mountains. The lake can be enjoyed for swimming, fishing and boating. Many other outdoor activities are within arm's reach of the property.

The location of the house on the lake is something special, a place where you can retreat to get away from the grind of normal life. It is a true escape, nestled away in a stand of enormous poplar trees with a view of the large lake area in front of the distant dam. The hours melt away as you settle into a life of mountain informality, fantastic natural surroundings and wonderful fellowship with family and friends.

The house was one of the first properties built on the lake, and has been maintained and updated with modern amenities. The two-level house is ideal for families and groups of friends. The upper (driveway) level has two bedrooms and one large sleeping area with a screened-off double bed, two single beds and a couch bed. The lower level features a family room with a wood burning fireplace, a large, well-equipped kitchen, and an outside patio facing the lake with a gas grill. It has all the character of a family mountain cabin, with added features like remodeled kitchen, washer/dryer, and a flat screen TV for viewing DVD/VCRs (we do not currently have broadcast TV due to poor sattelite signal).

The public boat landing is nearby, within 5 minutes by car or a short 15 minute walk. A canoe is included along with paddles and personal floatation devices.

We had a wonderful time relaxing at this cozy cabin. It truly felt like a home away from home. It is in a wonderful location with a private dock (just steps away) and has a beautiful view of the lake. So peaceful to sit on the dock in the mornings! The cabin is equipped with everything you could need and it was nice that they even provided a canoe that you could take out anytime to enjoy other areas of the lake. The huge windows in the cabin were awesome and made it so that you could enjoy the outdoors even while indoors. Their house-keeping staff that we met when we needed help, were very responsive, kind and hospitable, and made us feel like family. Thank you so much for your sweet kindness! It was such a pleasure to meet you! We definitely look forward to coming back to this cabin again in the future! We miss it already!! Thank you again for a wonderful stay!!

We loved this lake house very much, and will be back - and I wish I could leave 5 stars - but it was not the vacation that we expected based on the description. The dock is privately owned, but it is a shared dock with the house right next door (not pictured, but close). They share the access / path to the dock and the dock. So our family of 6 + a dog, shared the dock and swimming with 4 adults, 3 kids, and 4 other dogs - who are the owners of the house next door, and who spend time there and are renovating. We all made friends and they are a very kind family - however it was not what the listing described. The owner contacted me by phone and promised to update the description, which I very much appreciate. All that said, this is a special, special place. Just come ready to share space. Our kids are eager to return.

LaRue's cabin is just what we wanted for our lakefront stay. The lower level provides easy lake access and a nice clay tile floor, which is just what we and our wet dogs needed. The well-stocked kitchen was especially appreciated. LaRue is a very helpful host. Unfortunately, we had to cut our stay short, but we are looking forward to returning soon!

Wonderful stay! Great dock for swimming and has a nice canoe. Kitchen has everything you need. It's a well loved and cared for family cabin. Clean. You may say dated, I say Classic. Cooking dinner with the family while dancing to 70's dance party CDs 1 AND 2!! That's Classic. Owner is great with good communication. Wifi worked for us and it has a land line. Do yourself a favor and put your cell phone away, you're at the lake now! Will definitely return!!
