Just what the Doctor ordered! We enjoyed the peace and quite, all that a cabin in the mountains should be.

Location was exactly what we were looking for.The host was exceptional . He took care of some unforseen and unavoidable issue with the Jacuzzi while he was at Disney with his family.

From start to finish, the host was a dream to communicate with. The cabin is clean, comfortable and perfectly appointed. The view of Nantahala Gorge is breathtaking and star gazing at night was a beautiful way to end each day, as was the roaring fire in the gorgeous fire pit. I highly recommend this cabin if you want to get away from it all and spend quality time with the person/people in your life. Thank you, Dr. A! We will definitely be back!

My husband and I have always loved the Nantahala area and were looking for a relaxing getaway. The Lost River Lodge was just the place! The view from the deck was amazing, especially in the morning and evenings. We thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub, hammock, fire pit, and the peace and quiet. The kitchen was very well stocked. We had one disastrous breakfast one morning when we couldn't find any nonstick frying pans and tried to cook eggs and hash browns in a regular metal pan. If I had texted the host sooner, we would have known there were 3 nonstick frying pans "hiding" in the stove drawer directly under the oven.😣 The cabin was very clean and the furniture comfortable. The main floor bedroom's bed was a little too soft for us and a bit squeaky, but not a show stopper. The road leading up to the cabin was a bit overgrown with brambles, but passable. AWD is definitely a big help getting up the steep incline. Albert, the host, was very responsive to any questions and even reached out a couple of times just to check on us. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Thanks, Albert, for sharing your lovely cabin and view!

It was super easy to rent. The owner was an absolute charm. He made us feel very welcome. In a lot of ways, we felt like we were at home.

From start to finish this experience was great. The cabin could not have been any lovelier. I was looking for a secluded place with a great view and hot tub. Got exactly that. And Doc was easily accessible, kind and helpful. Thank you for providing the perfect place for my 50th birthday vacation.

This cabin is in a wonderful location. The views are amazing. I loved sitting out in the morning and enjoying my coffee in this absolutely peaceful setting. It is just down the road from the Nantahala Outdoor Center and a short drive to Bryson City. The host was extremely responsive when we had any questions or issues. I would highly recommend this cabin.

We loved our weekend in the mountains. The cabin was secluded but the views were amazing. The owner was easy to get ahold of and the cabin had everything.

Best place I’ve rented, by a mile! The scenery was breathtaking, and the cabin beautiful, well-appointed, and meticulously clean. The host was lovely to communicate with- very responsive, clear, and friendly. Everything as pictured. I loved it and will book again as my schedule allows.

Great overall property and the owner was very responsive to communication. I recommend an SUV or Pickup to navigate the road leading to the property as it becomes steep at times and heavier rain can leave the road rutted in areas. If you're visiting during any inclement weather 4wheel drive will be a must. The property is 15mins from the Natanhala Outdoor Center, 30mins from Bryson City, and close to multiple hiking trails making it a great location for outdoor activities for the whole family.

Great

Very nice mountain views, privacy, and an extremely well stocked kitchen. Hard to beat those NC sunsets.

Beautiful location! We had a great stay for a week. No Verizon cell reception. The cabin was very comfortable. All wheel drive needed for sure.

The cabin itself was very nice, but two issues in particular soured our experience: our interactions with the owner and difficulties with the hot tub. After booking, the owner’s welcome letter mentioned that due to COVID the hot tub is drained and cleaned after each guest. The letter stated that if we desired to use it, we would need to fill it. Hot tubs take quite a while to fill and heat up so I sent a message to the owner asking if we'd be able to use it our first night and were told there was a hot water tap near the tub and we should expect to be able to use it our first night. The morning we were due to arrive, I received a message from the owner hoping we enjoyed our stay and listing check out instructions. I sent him a message to ensure he was aware we had not yet arrived and hadn't somehow mixed up guests and bookings. In response, he stated he thought I wouldn’t be happy at his rental and encouraged me to cancel my booking. I was really confused and asked if it wasn’t ready, and he basically told me my criticality had “disaster written all over it.” When I pointed out his seeming disregard for our plans and incurred costs it only solidified his impression that I was a complainer and “not a good fit.” I was made to grovel, to apologize for having caused offense in order to ensure he wouldn’t cancel our reservation and leave us scrambling the day we were to arrive. Apparently asking clarifying questions makes you “not a good fit” for this owner’s rental and not welcome. Upon our arrival (~4:30pm) we checked the hot tub in case we needed to take steps to get it up and running. The water was 67 degrees, not heating up, and the level low. We used the provided hot water tap to top it off and left it to heat up. Ten minutes later I checked the water level and the hose was running cold. We checked it periodically thereafter but the temperature stalled out at 85 degrees and stayed there until we went to bed. We were not able to use the tub the first night. The cabin itself is excellent. The view is amazing; the location is fantastic (very remote – no other people nearby); the kitchen is well-stocked with pots/pans/small appliances; and the firepit and chairs on the deck are very nice. The experience would have been a 5-star event if the owner had not made me feel like I was in the wrong for asking questions, and the hot tub had been usable our first night.

Situated sufficiently apart from any other property, this cabin made for a relaxing, private weekend getaway complete with a fantastic view and reasonable accommodations (we had 4 adults and 1 infant). The large patio/porch with a step-down portion and firepit were perfect for enjoying the weather and view.

This is a very nice clean cabin that is well stocked with tons of kitchen utensils and nice linens. Just a short drive to mountain bike trails, rafting and the entrance to The Great Smokey Mountains as well as Tail of the Dragon. I would highly recommend this property if you want privacy, yet proximity to the mountain experience. Plan to drive where ever you go. The driveway would be almost impossible to bike and the roads are not really set up for biking, especially with a family.

My fiancé and I stayed here for a quick weekend getaway. It's a great cabin in a great location. The cabin has nice amenities, is well stocked, and provides great views. We both like to cook, and the well-equipped kitchen made cooking easy and pleasant. The cabin is appropriately isolated and conveniently located, with a relatively short drive to several hiking trails and to Bryson City. We enjoyed the solitude. And when we wanted to socialize, we enjoyed local spots in Bryson City and Sylva. The steep driveway is paved with crushed stone. Our rented front-wheel drive SUV struggled a little with the climb in a couple of spots. If you have a four-wheel drive vehicle, it would be worthwhile taking it on this trip. Overall, I recommend this cabin. We anticipate going back for another getaway.

We had an amazing time at Lost River Lodge! Property was just as described and perfect for our family of 4. Very easy and friendly communication with the owner. The view is amazing and the decks give you plenty of outdoor living space to enjoy them. Our family enjoyed a week full of local activities such as: zip lining, horseback riding, hiking in the Smokey Mountains, Nantahala Forest, Appalachian Trail, and fell in love with the very close NOC. Overall a wonderful vacation and the absolute perfect place to stay! Thank you!
