We love our location on the lake - we are in a private open cove area off the main channel of the lake, that provides a safe accessible area for swimming , no direct boat traffic or jet skis zipping by while your on the dock or playing in the lake.

Actually the lake itself is not commercial - there isn't a lot of boat traffic but still boating and jet skiing, tubing is an fun activity on Lake Nantahala and our dock is protected from wakes and boats passing too close,,,
Launch your own boat in the public boat ramp close to the house (ask homeowners for information ) or rent a boat from the 2 nearby boat rentals facilities. Dock can accommodate multi boats and watercraft. Fish up the river or hire a fly fishing guide.

Perfect for a family reunion or get-away with friends. C The house is equipped with Satellite TV, VCR, DVD, games and videos for your enjoyment and WiFi Internet access.

Head to Lakes End for dinner and family fun. There are great gravel roadways to walk in community - also close to Bartram and Appalachian Trails .
We are located close to Whitewater rafting on the Nantahala River, tubing, the Cherokee Indian Reserve, and the Great Smoky Mountain State Park. Lake Nantahala - Land of the Noon Day Sun's undiscovered beauty is surrounded mostly by the Nantahala Forest Preserve and some private homes .

Enjoyed the house and the lake. Very Nice location.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Aug 2023
A really great property on a fantastic part of the lake. The house was spacious and the kitchen was very well stocked as other reviews stated. There were details that went above and beyond - hand soaps were provided at every sink. Spice cabinet was full, and so much more was provided in the kitchen than a usual rental. So many size options for life jackets, 2 canoes, a nice dock and great swimming cove! We loved the fact that there were so many steps from the dock to the house which kept us in shape even on vacation. The lake is so clean and clear and it was definitely worth having a boat rental for the week! We had one day of rain so the chess table, ping pong table and checkers were heavily used. Highly recommend and we would definitely like to go back sometime!
