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 stay. The house is perfectly organized and set up for our family. The rock stairway down to the dock and lake is magical. We will return ASAP!

Sweet property owner and nice getaway off the grid. Colors were Amazing mid October. Nice restaurant close by. Wi-Fi DID work at time of our visit which is good bc no cell service. Nice gas grill. Lots of condiments on hand but much of the food stock was expired. TVs did not work & no remotes had batteries. Hole in canoe. Water was down, a lot, so no dock. One of two fireplaces was supposed to work but it wasn’t clean and the smoke fed back into room and I could not get proper exit draft. Property was somewhat unclean including 6” of seasonal leaves around house. . Furniture and decor is outdated I was a little disappointed due to the difference in advertisement than reality. We were really looking forward to using a kayak or canoe which didn’t happen. The house and property reminded me of an older fish camp from the 70s. Andrews is nearby and has a smalll movie theatre, coffee, ice cream shop, Grocery store. I wouldn’t let my review keep you from coming if you want to escape and detach from reality for a bit.
