About this house rental

Thanks for stopping by and welcome to The Dock House!!

The Dock House is a prime spot for family vacations. The lake and mountain panoramic views are exceptional. We are located on pristine Nantahala Lake, which is the second highest lake east of the Mississippi, and one of the cleanest man made lakes in the world. Rising 3000 feet above sea level, the Mountain topography produces mild temperatures in spring and summer. Fall follows with a spectacular display of Mother Nature’s colorful artistry - as the autumn leaves turn brilliant hues of orange, yellow, crimson and gold. Winter has its own allure – providing visitors with a secluded idyllic winter wonderland.

The Dock House was custom designed to fit it’s surroundings and might be the closest home to Nantahala Lake. The deck is a mere 10 feet from the shore line which makes for an easy walk to the oversized dock. Also, nearly every room in the house has a view of the lake, including the master shower, hot tub area and the sauna. The tile and slate selected for the bath rooms enhances the feeling of warmth and serenity that the Nantahala area is known for. The Silestone counter tops and the gourmet kitchen make meal preparation a pleasure! We have spacious decks which are perfect for sunbathing, reading, relaxing and family outdoor gatherings. Our home is also equipped with a big screen TV and pool table. ! The unique 3 master bedroom plan makes it perfect for groups of couples or families alike. The loft has a King bed and a Queen over Queen bunk bed.


The Dock House is truly a unique home. You can tell by looking at how the house blends in with the mountain side. The site was carefully selected for the optimum view and to harvest the magnificent red oaks which were milled into the extensive hardwood flooring and crafted into the beautiful hand rails in the foyer and loft. The post and beam interior was constructed from whole white oak posts and rough sawn white pine beams, which mostly came from the house site as well. The custom designed doors, kitchen cabinets and the one of a kind kitchen table were all hand made from an ancient black walnut tree that was blown down by a storm that passed through Andrews, NC in May of 2002.


The Nantahala area has a lot to offer families who want to create wonderful memories! Entertainment enthusiasts will enjoy the Mountainside Theater, located in the heart of Cherokee Indian Country. The theater is famous for its production of “Unto These Hills”, which is a live re-enactment of the story behind the Cherokee Indian historic “Trail of Tears” journey. Or, hop aboard the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad for your choice of scenic family train rides or romantic gourmet dining. The Railroad also presents a Mystery Theater dinner on select Friday nights. Sports fans will delight in nearby offerings of white water rafting, mountain biking, skiing, and hiking. If you are adventurous you must go rafting down the Nantahala River. It is one of the finest whitewater rafting rivers in the country. And, the Tsali Recreation Area is fast becoming a “Mecca” for lovers of mountain biking. Hikers of all ages will appreciate the world famous Appalachian Trial, which you can pick up with a short drive from home. You also don’t want to miss a drive up to the top of Wayah Bald, which offers stunning views for miles of the Western North Carolina landscape.

So, thanks again for letting us share a little bit about The Dock House with you. And, call or email today to make your reservation!

Best regards,
Michael

Everything was great from start to finish! We would love to stay again. The house had everything we needed and such a beautiful location!

Three letters describe the home and our experience: W-O-W…and the only small suggestion I would have is to put some friction strips on the dock ramp. The lower lake level created a steeper incline on the ramp, which coupled with moisture and made it overly slippery. Several of us fell or fought to stay upright. Otherwise everything else about The Dockhouse was absolutely perfect! It’s a beautiful home, that is very well appointed, extremely comfortable, and has stunning views. We’re already talking about hopefully renting it again someday!
6.0 / 10.0Average·Jun 2025
The location of the house is incredible! No mention the steep driveway and need for a small all wheel drive vehicle….very important! No mention you need to arrive before dark-critical. The house is very quirky and interesting. The refrigerator and freezer was dirty upon arrival. The chairs around the dining room table were cool looking but the cushions were beat and in need of replacement. The lazy susan in the kitchen was hanging by a screw and filthy inside. The remoteness of the area was fantastic. The Marina delivering a boat to the dock also amazing. The house from the driveway to the dock is very steep (somewhat obvious from the pictures) but no mention, not for elderly folk or the faint at heart. We enjoyed our stay despite the problems. The house is great- it needs a lot of TLC.
