This is our 3rd year being at Lake Nantahala for the week of 4th of July, but our first time staying at Dave and Casey's place. Communication was great, Dave gave me a call the week before our arrival and went over the house, the access, the nuisances of the house and what to expect. The house was exactly what we expected per the description and pictures. We also received a welcome pack from Casey through VRBO with very detailed instructions, check out list and things to do in the area. The location on the lake is great, the house has a great view and it is 10 minutes closer to Andrews for groceries than the previous house we stayed in on Indian Lake Rd. Compared with other houses in this neighborhood, the view was totally clear of the lake (no trees blocking view) and the house sits down closer to the lake so there are fewer stairs in comparison to other houses in Nantahala Shores to get down to the water. Of note, there are a lot of stairs to carry luggage and groceries down to from the parking area to the front door. We are a family of 4 and there was plenty of room. We brought our boat and the dock was perfect for parking it. We spent a lot of time out on the water, the lake is our favorite place to vacation! The kids really enjoy rope swing island, the marina, fishing and cruising around on the boat on a tube or knee board. You can rent boats from Lakes's End Marina but book way in advance! Overall, we had a great vacation and the house had everything we needed! Thanks Dave and Casey!

We had a wonderful week at the house! David and Casey checked in before our trip and made sure we arrived safely. Nantahala Lake is stunning and the kids had a great time exploring the property. We did a few hikes around the area and spent quite a bit of time kayaking and fishing out on the lake. The house was very clean and we didn't have too many issues with the WiFi. Would definitely recommend this property for a family vacation!

Loved our stay at the Lake! Amazing views and great home for family get-away. House was just as advertised & owner very prompt with any questions we had. Does have a lot of stairs & steep driveway, but no more than expected for mountain house. Loved it so much, didn't want to leave!

The view was amazing!! The Host & Owner were very helpful and communication was perfect! To add to your trip definitely rent a boat and check out NOC for rafting or zip line!

Family had a great time at this Mtn lake home. Beautiful views! Enjoyed the kayaks provided. Very peaceful! House was as advertised, very comfortable. Will definitely be back

We enjoyed our stay but beware of zero cellular service. Have your ducks in a row prior to check-in. Save gate code and house codes in your phone or write them down somewhere. Bring your own DVDs as cable is limited. Great place to fish, hike and take in the beauty of the NC mountains. Loved the opportunity to unplug in this quiet, beautiful slice of God’s country.

Pleasant Great view of the lake from deck First class Would have liked another deck chair for the dock

The house is great, everything we could ask for and more. The kayaks and the paddle boat were a great amenity. We all loved playing ping pong. The kitchen was perfect. Thank you so much for allowing us to use your vacation home.

We had an absolutely splendid stay at this property. The owners gave us some great advice on local hikes and restaurants. The family loved the kayaks, and swimming off the dock was sublime. The house was extremely comfortable and was everything we needed. We are big cooks, and weren't lacking for anything in the kitchen. We are already talking about booking for next year!

We've stayed at many places on or near Nantahala Lake over the years and this property is our favorite. The home was clean, comfortable, well equipped and right on the lake. Our group of four adults and an active toddler had a wonderful time.

Our family of four enjoyed a great week at Lake Nantahala! The lake is gorgeous, and this home was perfectly suited for us. Communications from the owner were helpful and much appreciated.

The house was clean and spacious enough for 8. We were fortunate enough to bring our pontoon boat and leave docked at the house for whenever we wanted to go for an adventure ride on the lake. View of the lake from the house is wonderful to wake up to. View of surrounding mountains from the lake is spectacular. Driveway is steep so back down the driveway is my only advice.

This is our second time at this property and it did not disappoint. House was clean with extra amenities (like towels) that we did not use, but appreciated none the less. Property is well kept and maintained. My husband loves the kitchen! Plenty of room to cook and move around. Access to the lake is one of the best we've ever had. We will be back.

Renting this property was easy and the homeowner and cleaning staff reach out to make sure your stay is everything you expected The home has easy access to the lake compared to other homes I have rented in the past. We had a wonderful week

The house was perfectly appointed for us (family of four plus grandparents) and we all enjoyed the escape. The owners were very helpful in the week leading up and during, and could not have been more helpful in making sure we had a great experience. That said, renters should note the very steep steps down to the house from the driveway and the less steep but still significant steps down from the house to the lake. We managed fine but would be an issue for anyone with mobility issues. We also did not realize that we would not have any phone service at the house (wifi provided email/text only). This is not a fault of the house, but a product of being in the mountains and I just was not familiar enough with the area to know. This made it hard for my husband and I to handle work items that week, and is something folks should consider if they plan/need to be available for work calls. Otherwise ... my kids cried when we left. A lovely time.

Lake and mountain views were beautiful.

One of the best places to rent on the lake- nearly right in the center, facing westerly. Great views from the back balcony/porch during sunset. The place was great, well furnished, clean, plenty of space. Owners were great with communication. Few things to be aware of: very steep graded driveway, lots of steps getting from driveway to house, and finally lots of steps getting from house to lake. - if you have physical limits. Dock was great for keeping a boat.

Our family just returned from a fantastic week at Casey & David's place on Lake Nantahala. After our original vacation plans were scratched due to the pandemic, this proved to be the perfect place to get away from home but still stay relatively isolated. Before we arrived, David called and walked me through accessing the home. He followed up with advice about different hikes and parts of the lake, and stayed available by text when we had one or two questions when we arrived. The home was clean and the kitchen well-equipped. The back deck was a perfect place for morning coffee, afternoon lunch, or an evening glass of wine. On the couple of rainy days we had, we played board games and watched a few of the DVDs in the house. But most days we spent our time on the private dock or exploring the absolutely stunning lake. Our last day there, we rented a boat and were able to explore the river, take the kids tubing, and in general enjoy the beauty of the minimally developed lake. We'd love to return to explore even more of the surrounding area, and if we do, we'd love to stay at this home again.

Needed an escape for a long weekend of comfort and laziness. This was a perfect getaway. The property owners were very attentive and the house was spacious and comfortable. Plan to return in the fall during leaf watching season.

Perfect!!!!

The property was very well maintained and the house was stocked with all the comforts of home. Our family had an amazing time swimming/boating on the lake, grilling out, kayaking, and enjoying the beautiful views from the house. The owners were extremely responsive and easy to talk to- we very much enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend!

We had an amazing stay at this property! Casey communicated to us via both an email and a phone call prior to our stay to ensure that all of our questions were answered and that we knew exactly what to expect prior to our arrival. She took time to ensure that we knew her favorite spots on the lake as well as her favorite hiking trails. The community consists of about 20 houses inside a gated access. Most of the homes were very close to the road which is well above the lake. But this home sits down by the water which is great because the views are not obscured by trees. Amazing lake and mountain views from the kitchen, living room and master bedroom!!! There were life jackets, paddles and 2 kayaks included in the rental and Casey made sure that we knew where her favorite places are to watch sunsets. We spent each evening just a few minutes off the dock watching the sunset from our kayak while enjoying a glass of wine. There were 360 degree mountain/lake views from this spot!!! The house was very clean, had good wi-fi and DirecTV. We didn't take any children, but one of the guest bedrooms would have been perfect for kids. It had a forest theme with very cool decor that children or adults would love! This home had more than enough room for just the two of us and could have easily slept 8 people. The decor was very nice with a lake/mountain theme throughout. We ate at least one meal per day on the back deck that overlooked the lake with mountain views across the water. Finally, I commend Casey for some of the small touches. I already mentioned the personal phone call the week of our arrival, but she also includes lake towels for use on the water as well as basic toiletries in case we had forgotten anything. It's my understanding that her family recently purchased this home and listed it on VRBO. I am happy to give it a 5* review and am confident that it will be the first of many!!! Great stay on a great lake! We will be back again!!!
