Our family really enjoyed our stay. The house is set up great for a family and it was stocked well for all of our needs. The location on the lake was beautiful and the hosts were quick to respond with anything we needed.

Awesome lakefront retreat

Thank you Tom and Chris for sharing your amazing house, our 4th stay there I think! Your home is well stocked, comfortable beds, spacious layout, perfect for our family vacation! We hiked, ziplined, white water rafting, boating, and floating. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Great stay! Excellent location!

The property was tucked in a mountain area right on the lake. Our normal family group to go on vacations enjoyed the visit and all this property had to offer. Property itself was clean, had everything we needed, and the location with the views absolutely gorgeous! Everyone had a great time and lots of memories

Santeetlah Week

The property is well-maintained and spotless. Lake Santeetlah is beautiful and rarely crowded, thanks to 80% of its shoreline being located within the Nantahala National Forest.

We have been coming to the lake for 10 years now and this house checks all the boxes. The kitchen is well stocked for easy prepping and cooking of meals. Plenty of room to enjoy each other’s company without being on top of one another. House is updated and nicely finished. 10/10 recommend others to stay here.

Wonderful Home

A perfect home for our extended family vacation. There was more than enough room for five couples and four young children. Access to the lake was outstanding! We swam, fished, and kayaked right from the dock. Everything was as advertised and we couldn't have been happier with our stay.

Unforgetable!

We had a great week at Stillwater Lake House. The weather was incredible and the water was fabulous. Even the fishing was good. Every bedroom was used. There were lots of areas to congregate but we especially enjoyed the decks with the fans. Thank you Chris and Tom for the outstanding details you have put into making this a great place to stay!

Comfortable Lake Stay

Great house on a beautiful lake. Did not love that there are video cameras on the exterior of the house-this should have been disclosed in the listing. Made me feel like we were being watched.

This was one of the most well stocked and thoughtful homes we have stayed in (and there are many). Everything was set up with the guest’s comfort in mind. Plenty of chairs, end tables, eating areas and three great outside areas. We were 4 couples, and we each had our own spaces including small kitchen/living areas with coffee makers in each. The home was beautiful decorated with light filled spaces, and plenty of room to put our personal items. Don’t hesitate to rent this home.

Santeetlah

Chris and Tom, the property looks great. I love the way you finished the lake-level floor, and the dock is excellent. We had nine family members of all ages, and the home accommodated everyone comfortably. Santeetlah is a beautiful lake.

All you could want

This house was perfect for our family. Plenty of room to spread out, kayaks and life vests ready to go, ample outdoor living space, games and movies for a rainy day. The driveway is literally the only thing not perfect about this house, its a bit steep. Owners are great with communication. We hope to stay again.

Happy Place

My family has been coming to lake santeelah every year for the 4th of july for centuries. My grandfather grow up here and it has been a tradition to have a family reunion each year. We have stayed in many different rentals and this one has always exceeded our expectations. We love to stay at this home. The location on the lake is ideal, the home is beautiful, and fits multiple families comfortably. This was our 3rd year staying here and we hope to continue to rent this home for years to come. The hosts are also great about responding quickly to any questions which is so helpful. Highly recommend.

Amazing House!!!! Amazing Location!!!

We absolutely loved this house! The pictures don’t do it justice. We have stayed in a LOT of vacation rentals in the past 20 years and this was by far the cleanest, most well stocked house we’ve stayed. There wasn’t anything that we needed that wasn’t there already. The location was perfect. We loved being right on the lake. We rented a boat from Santeetlah Marina and Outfitters and are so glad we did. Randall was very helpful with our boat rental (but that’s another review😊) We loved just sitting on the dock and enjoying the view, swimming, fishing and boating around the lake. The house itself was in great condition. I really can’t say enough how clean this home was. The beds were comfortable and the shower’s water pressure/hot water was great. The kitchen is really well stocked with probably everything you might need. We are already planning our next trip back!!! Thank you, Chis and Tom!
