The day of check-in we received a long email letting us know that there were no paper products, out of firewood, wrong check-in time, etc. Had to buy our own firewood and ended up leaving half of it for the house/owner. Kitchen is missing some key cooking utensils. Photos of the house were obviously not taken in the summer. View of the lake is not nearly as wide open as shown.

We had a great time on Lake Nantahala and at this property. We loved cooking out on the back deck and having the boat right at the dock. The house was really cool and had all the amenities we needed. Since our vacation was centered around boating, our only issue was the stairs from the house did not go all the way to the dock so the hike back up the hill from the dock multiple times a day was challenging, but we made the best of it. Location was perfect and easy access to all the fun things to see and do in the area. We will come again - thanks Shane!

This spot is so special. My friends and I felt incredibly fortunate to to stay here. We were in awe of the floor to ceiling windows of the uniquely shaped house as it let in all the dappled daylight through the trees. The private dock was wonderful and allowed us easy access to the lake with our paddle boards. We really loved the location on the lake too since it wasn’t too busy. Definitely recommend a sunrise paddle and a hike on the Bartram Trail or Appalachian Trail (right up the road). The host was very communicative and the hot tub was also an added bonus! Overall, this place was stellar. And we’d absolutely book it again.

I stayed here 5 nights during May with my parents. It was a nice getaway for all of us. It was my first Nantahala lake visit, but it will not be my last. Shane was a very prompt and effective communicator. My chosen mode of communication to him was through the app and/or texting. The house itself is super unique and hides in the trees with a 180+ degree view facing east. The massive upper deck is great for enjoying some fresh mountain air or your favorite meals on the grill with friends and family. The road and driveway were fine for my low clearance car without awd/4wd. It is a decent 30-40 minutes from town so plan accordingly. There was no cell service but thankfully Shane provides satellite internet/WiFi . This made it easy to check email and use iMessage/FaceTime, WhatsApp, etc to communicate with friends and family. It was a 1200 mile drive for me and over 500 for my parents and we had zero regrets about the trip after all of the driving.

We had a wonderful check in process and really enjoyed this unique home and surrounding area.

Unique property in great location. Very spacious and comfortable. The walk down to lake is a bit long and steep but well worth it for the pier and view. Such a peaceful and beautiful setting. I recommend highly.
