10 / 10Outstanding·May 2026
Communication with the host and owner were excellent. The home was very clean with easy access and parking for 3 - 4 vehicles. The kitchen is well equipped. If you are a picky cook you may want to bring your own special tools. The covered back porch has a nice view and the house is very private. Thunderbird Mountain and Lake Santeetlah are a great place to relax. We would definitely return. May 2026

We stayed with a group of five adults for a trip to Deal’s Gap and just loved this house! The place is beautifully renovated and decorated with lovely landscaping. We were particularly pleased with the paved parking available for our five Honda S2000s. The location is about five miles to Robbinsville and about a 15 minute drive to Deal’s Gap (a.k.a. Tail of the Dragon).The house is well-stocked with many upgraded items and had everything we needed to cook some meals and grill some steaks. There were really nice personal touches throughout (some fresh flowers, water bottles in the fridge, etc.) and the beds were very comfortable. The host/owner (Aura) was very communicative and immediately responsive to any questions that we had. You can tell she takes great pride in the house and in making us feel welcome and comfortable. The view from the deck and lakeside bedroom is gorgeous. There isn’t direct lake access, but there is a stairway down to the road below where you can go to the public access or make friends with a neighbor with a dock, but we weren’t there to swim or boat. Highly recommended; we plan to stay there again.

Cute house with plenty of room. Very quiet area great for spending family quality time together
10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2025
Great house. Three bathrooms for three bedrooms, plus 2 pullouts. Great location near the lake, but not ON the lake. For lake access, you’ll need to go to the public access spot a short drive down the road, or make friends with a neighbor with a dock! Quiet neighborhood. Comfy bedrooms. The pullout couch in the loft is not comfortable, unfortunately. Otherwise, great property.
