About this cabin rental
Tucked into a secluded valley surrounded by thousands of acres of the Nantahala National Forest, Whippoorwill Lake is a peaceful escape with few neighbors nearby. Mornings here are calm - coffee on the porch, birdsong, and wake-up calls from the chickens and donkeys at the farm across the lake.
The 1.5-acre private spring-fed lake has a new floating dock with a 10-foot-deep swimming area and a gorgeous view of the mountains. Relax on the dock's lounge chairs, paddle around the lake, or fish for bass and bluegill. Camping hammocks are ready to hang from pre-installed straps on trees near the fire pit. Several short walking trails cross the 8-acre property, and just across the road is a 7-mile gated forest road great for hiking or biking.
The cabin has two bedrooms: a primary with a new memory foam queen mattress, and a second room with a full bed plus twin bunk beds. Enjoy the fully stocked kitchen, gas grill, covered porch, and a newly expanded deck.
Stay close and unwind, or head out: Nantahala River whitewater rafting, trout fishing, and the Bartram Trail are 7 minutes away; NOC and Robbinsville / Lake Santeetlah (dining, groceries, boat rentals) are each 15 minutes out. Evenings mean s'mores by the fire, whippoorwill calls, or a soak in the hot tub. Snowbird Mountain Lodge, 30 minutes away, is perfect for a fine dining night out.
Note: the cabin uses HughesNet satellite internet — fine for browsing, calls, and standard streaming, but not high-def streaming or gaming, and it may drop during storms. That's your cue to grab a movie from the DVD collection or start a card game instead.

It's a beautiful little cabin tucked away in a secluded location. The brand new wrap-around porch and jacuzzi are amazing. It took us a bit to figure out how to work the TV (being it wasn't cable and you had to go in and out of various apps), but it worked the entire time. The internet worked, too, but was slow at times, especially when it was cloudy or rainy. Sadly, our cellphones hardly worked at all. We got through on our first day (clear skies) with FaceTime, then could only use voice for the 2nd and 3rd day. After that, because of cloudy & rainy conditions, it didn't work at all. However, my biggest issue was with the mold in the bathroom. I'm a mold survivor (and healthcare practitioner) and haven't had any issues for over 6 years. Sadly, my symptoms reactivated quickly, and it made things difficult for me. Fortunately, I had supplements on hand and knew what to do. But with no cell phone coverage and no medical help nearby, it put me in a dicey situation. So, we stayed outside as much as possible. (I wish I had brought my Hi Tech Air Purifier with me ... that would have helped greatly.) I really hope the owners fix this mold problem, because it really is an amazing place with great potential. And the rental agents are really great, too.
