Great location and perfect for our furry children.

We all loved our stay. We had 4 “kids” in their 20’s plus my hubby and dogs. My daughter said it was like being in the movie cheaper by the dozen. The lake is beautiful, and the house was extremely well equipped. It is definitely no frills, like staying in your grandma’s lake house, but that is the charm. One suggestion is to pre print all the maps you will need to get to hikes, recreation, and your trip home. Not having google maps was the hardest part of unplugging for me!

We came back for 4th stay here , very well stocked house , always clean , wonderful management , best location on the lake , only few steps to water. You don’t have to stay in megamantion to enjoy this wonderful lake

My family and I booked a short 4 night stay to escape the Florida heat and enjoy a change of scenery. We absolutely fell in love with the area. The lake is simply beautiful and crystal clear in the shallows. The dock is big enough to enjoy just sitting out there and taking in the beautiful scenery and fish or swim from. The lake house is as described it was spacious, well equipped and very comfortable for our group of 4 people and 2 small senior dogs. The house is not fancy as it states but you can tell it has been well cared for and offers all one would need to enjoy a mountain/lake escape. The sitting room downstairs is cozy, great for after dinner conversations and the large picture windows are beautiful to just sit and gaze out. There is no wifi or cell service but we came prepared for that. We brought some board games and DVDs from home as well as books etc. There is a selection at the lake house as well but we brought stuff just in case. We played board games upstairs in the evenings and our17 year old son survived 4 nights and 5 days without cell/wifi and didn't even complain. We booked a fly fishing trip for the boys one day which they loved. We rented a pontoon one day from Bev (the caretaker) who was absolutely amazing and such a tremendous help. We toured the lake and just took in all the natural beauty from the pontoon. We also rented a ski boat for half a day and had a blast tubing on the lake. We enjoyed meals at the lakes end Cafe and ventured into Andrew's to try 2 local breweries and the Tattered Tartan offered great authentic Irish Pub food and a great selection of beers too we went there twice during our stay and probably would have gone even more if we stayed longer. It was such a peaceful, relaxing vacation and we can't wait to come back again soon. We would have booked a longer trip but there wasn't availability. I think this place is a real gem. We wanted to explore more of the area and try to fish a bit more so.our next trip we'll definitely try to stay longer. Thank you for sharing your family lake house with us. We had an amazing time and made some lasting memories. We hope to return very soon and plan to make this an annual trip. We loved the whole experience and we LOVE Lake Nantahala a true nature lovers paradise.

Our family of four stayed at this lovely cabin and had a wonderful trip. We went to spend time together as a family, as we don’t see each other as often anymore, and we had a great time on the peaceful lake or looking out at the view. Though wifi would have been nice, we all agreed that we didn’t really miss having Wi-Fi or television while we stayed there. Everything we needed was found at the house, there were plenty of games, VHS tapes and DVDs, kitchen utensils, bathroom appliances, etc. If you plan to watch a lot of movies, you may want to bring some DVDs of your own, but we only watched a movie one night because we spent most of our time outdoor. The lake view is so beautiful and calming, there’s no better place to relax and spend time with family. We would go back again!

Great time on the lake. Appreciated the kindness of the host and their hospitality in extending their family home to us.

Lots of nice trout fishing streams in the area

I personally loved the open space afforded by the great rooms. I n ver felt crowded & the big windows on the first level were wonderful. You always feel a part of the outdoors when you are inside.

Beautiful lake, our family very much enjoyed our stay. The place was easy to find, it was exactly as described. It was a bit like stepping back in time, no internet or cell connection or TV was not a problem for a long weekend. Kids loved fishing and jumping off the dock. It was very easy to rent a boat and kayaks from the marina that was 5 minutes away. Will definitely be back.

Enjoyed our short stay. The lake was beautiful, and the house had plenty of room for everyone.

I booked late and I'm afraid this property was all that was left. It looked nice enough, but I was used to renting some of the fancier houses on the lake. I shouldn't have been concerned. What this rental lacks in luxury, it makes up for in just about every other way. It is clean, comfortable, and remarkably charming. The owners and caretakers are fantastic. There a thoughtful touches everywhere, including a storage room full of chairs, noodles, floats, paddles, life vests, and more. The kitchen is extremely well stocked with dishware, pots and pans, condiments and spices. The location is one of the easier to get to on the lake since it's only a short distance off of Wayah. It's a short stairway down to the dock, which is in excellent condition. We enjoyed the canoe and rented a pontoon boat for the week. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. We had a wonderful stay. Thank you!

Beautiful lake views and plenty of space for 6 or more people. Property is right on the water. You can’t get this close for the price. Most properties on the water are 2-3 times the price. The house is not fancy, as stated in the description. If you need cell service or WiFi you will not have any luck. No cable TV but a nice selection of VHS movies. The kids enjoyed the old Warner Brother cartoons. It’s a nice place to unwind and break away from the internet. The drive down to the property is a bit difficult. There are some sharp turns and the driveway is tight. If you bring bring your boat, kayaks etc, you will notice the trailers are kept at the entrance to the neighborhood. It will be very difficult to navigate a trailer to the home. You can also rent very nice pontoon boat at Lakes End Marina. It was $40.00 per hour for a half day. The lake is huge. Kids jumped in, it was a bit cold, but we had a week of clouds and rain. On a hot sunny day, it would be perfect. The water is so clear. We never caught any fish. Fishing in this lake is a bit tricky, confirmed by even the locals. It’s More of a pleasure lake, less of a fishing lake. There are several areas nearby to fish for trout in the rivers. The neighbors are very nice and accommodating. They can tell you anything you need to know about the area. Keep in mind They are the first building. The rental is the back building. The driveway is shared. They move all of their vehicles to another area so you can have the entire space. They moved their pontoon boat so the kids could swim from the dock. Overall, our stay was wonderful. The lake is absolutely breathtaking and peaceful. I would love to have a place on this lake. The owners are blessed to have this family home to enjoy and rent to others.

We loved staying right on the lake and Beverly was super helpful.

Although this property can sleep well over eight guests, It was just me and my dog. We had a great time. The lake was beautiful and the patroon boat rental was great fun. My only suggestion would be to please get Wi-Fi. :)

The house was exactly how it looks online, very quiet and peaceful. Would go back again.

We liked this house so much when we stayed two years ago that we jumped at the chance to stay again. It was just as we remembered--clean, well-equipped, and perfect for relaxing with friends and family. We love the open floor plan, easy lake access, and friendly management. Thanks for sharing your home with us!

Excellent fun family atmosphere. Rent the pontoon boat and have additional fun. Marina food is awesome too.

Rustic well furnished clean and a view to die for! And the lake a few steps away!! Thanks to Bev and Chris for being so kind and helpful!! Loved their boat it made the trip even more perfect! Kathy and Micheal

Couldn't be happier with Bev!

We visited the area in 2017 with friends, and decided to rent a house on Nantahala Lake the next summer. We couldn't have made a better decision than this lake and this house. A warning, if you need good cell service and wifi, this is not your vacation home. If you're like me, and just want to swim in a pristine lake, sit on the dock and read, or watch old movies, then here's your place. Speaking of the house, I absolutely adore this jewel. It's a trip back to the 60s and 70s, but with an updated kitchen. I hope the owner never changes anything, not the lamps, not the furniture, not the board games, not anything. I felt so at home here. Speaking of the owner, she couldn't have been more nicer, and her son and his family couldn't have been more gracious having taken us with them on the pontoon boat to the marina for supper. Saving the best for last, the lake and the surrounding mountains. If you'd like to visit the pacific northwest, but don't have the time, here's your place. It rained nearly every late afternoon or evening, while being sunny the rest of the day. The temperatures in mid July never rose above 82F. It was chilly enough at night for a sweater. The lake itself is the cleanest in NC, and one of the cleanest to be found anywhere. And the view is nothing but mountains. I never take pictures until this trip, it's that beautiful. I look forward to returning, and will keep "my lake house" in my memories forever. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful home with my family. We had the best time relaxing and swimming right off the dock! The scenery was absolutely breathtaking that we never wanted to leave. The neighbors Bev and Chris were so nice and helpful when we had questions. We rented the boat 2 days and enjoyed the lake and all the fun it had to offer. The lake was so clear and clean that we spent lots of time swimming and playing in the water. The house was exactly as I expected, the perfect summer lake house. There was plenty of room for my family of 5 and our 2 dogs that we could spread out. The kids loved running around the house looking for little baby toads everyday. I wish we would have brought our fishing poles to fish right off the dock. We can't wait to come back and visit again next year!

We enjoyed our stay very much. The place was very clean and had everything we needed. Very family friendly and our kids had a blast. There is no reception or internet which makes for true relaxing getaway and quality time with family. Lovely quaint home that felt like many fun memories have been had. We did for sure. A++++

We really enjoyed our stay. The view from the dock (morning sunrises!), time on the lake, games and daily outings. We enjoyed the lake house as well. It isn't fancy but its homey and clean and actually reminded us of people we love (grand parents). No wifi was fine with us! Step back in time, forcing us to unwind. The kids had a blast too.

Wonderful view of the lake, short walk to the dock. Nice canoe for going out on the lake. Very clean house. We had a wonderful trip.
