About this house rental
This is a complete gut renovation and addition to a small family cottage that has been in the family for more than 40 years. The "re-imagining" of the house took a small one level 1800sf 3-bedroom house to a brand new 3500sf 5 bedroom home on Lake Santeetlah, NC. All of the main bedrooms have views of and access to the lake. A large double height "great room" provides a grand common space with incredible views for cooking and eating while also still providing smaller cozy spaces for privacy including an amazing loft. And large decks on every level provide plenty of outdoor space for enjoying the amazing views and outdoor living. It also includes a private dock on quiet island/peninsula with only 6 houses. Perfect for families or groups of adults. ***PLEASE NOTE: the existing reviews before 2024 are before the complete "to the studs" renovation and addition.****
Lake Santeetlah has 76 miles of coastline, but only about 2 miles are developed - the rest is surrounded by a National Forest. Very Quiet and peaceful. Great for families, watersports, fishing, boating. Awesome hiking, kayaking, camping and outdoor sports nearby. Fishing includes smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, walleye, crappie, bream, and lake trout.
There are over 200 miles of hiking trails in the area, and one can hike eight miles from Lake Santeetlah to the Appalachian Trail.
The nearby Cheoah River is noted for its Class IV and V whitewater rapids.
Lake Santeetlah adjoins a portion of U.S. 129 called the Tail of the Dragon, a road frequently used for recreational purposes by motorcycle and sports car enthusiasts because of its purported 318 curves in 11 miles.
Lake has boat rentals available.

Absolutely beautiful location. Beautiful house. Disappointed because check in was 2 hours late. Apparently, folks before us left quite a mess. Some of the linens needed to be washed. No paper towels. No shampoo, etc. in some of the bathrooms. The tub on main floor was clogged. Note: the umbrella outside had a tear.
