About this house rental
Relax and unwind in this mountain oasis. Close to lakes, rivers, hiking and more but private enough to feel like you have the whole mountain to yourself.
This charming A-frame has a cozy, romantic feel inside. While it is best suited for a couple or small family, the cabin can sleep up to 6 people. The main bedroom has a queen sized bed. There is a spiral staircase off the open concept living area that leads to a sleeping loft with matching, built-in single beds and a private 1/2 bath. If you need additional sleeping space, the sofa folds down into a bed. There are seasonal views of the lake and surrounding mountains.

Ursa Minor is centrally located for world-class boating, fishing, hiking, white water and gem mining. Bring your own boat or rent one locally to explore the 1600-acre lake at 3000 ft. elevation. Public access to Nantahala Lake is only 1 mile away at the Rocky Branch boat ramp with boat storage nearby. Lake’s End Marina provides boat, canoe, kayak, and paddle board rentals only 2 miles from Ursa Minor. The area is renowned for its trout fishing. With easy access to both Nantahala Lake and the nearby Nantahala River, there is something for traditional and fly-fishers alike. Hiking opportunities abound in Nantahala, from easy kid friendly hiking on the 2 acres at Ursa Minor to more challenging hikes along the nearby Appalachian and Bartram Trails. Numerous white water rafting and kayaking outfitters are within 30 minutes of Ursa Minor including the Nantahala Outdoor Center.

Unique, one-of-a-kind cabin experience. Great to unplug and play games and connect. Memories were made!

Host Jenny had great communication before, during, and after our stay. Cabin is well appointed and comfortable. It was just 2 of us, but it would be a good option for a small family with the additional loft sleeping area. It's fairly remote, but right above the lake if you're into water activities. Make sure you download/write down all important info (directions, phone numbers, door code) before you arrive, as there is no cell service. Wifi worked well on property once we got inside and connected to it.

Beautiful A-frame with view of the lake. The entire process from reservation to checkout was effortless. Perfect spot for a quick family getaway to the lake and mountains. We’re definitely coming back!

Great having a turnaround in front. Once front and back porch were cleaned it was a nice property. Glad I had 4 wheel drive. Our backs say it's probably time for a new mattress.
