About this property

Cozy Lakefront Cabin, on Beautiful Nantahala Lake

A Great Lake Escape, is just what it says. Escape from your frantic, fast paced, stressed out life. Come up to the lake and relax on any of the three decks outside overlooking the lake on a quiet cove; two minutes from the main lake by boat. Paddle around the lake on the three available kayaks or the canoe!! If the evenings are a little chilly turn on one of the two gas fireplaces,(one in the loft, one on the main floor--seasonal). YOU MUST BE 25 YEARS OLD TO RENT THIS PROPERTY!

We are close to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, Nantahala National Park for Hiking the Appalachian and Bartram Trails. The Nantahala Outdoor Center for rafting, kayaking and biking is just a 45 minute beautiful ride away.

Great location for star gazing

Cherrise was pleasure to deal with. The views were amazing, kayaking on water like glass. After 34 years together my husband and I were totally alone and had we had a wonderful time. Thanks for the memories.Jeannie's homemade carrot cake jam was excellent!

Not recommended at all

I regret to say that our experience at this cabin was far from pleasant, despite its great location and accurate listing photos. The primary issue was with the host, whose behavior was not only unprofessional but also deeply unsettling. The trouble began when the host falsely accused us of having more guests than agreed upon, even though we had clearly disclosed five people in the contract, which she accepted. We encountered a car issue on the last night, which required someone to stay behind to ensure our safety, as we were in the middle of the mountains with no cellphone coverage and children in tow. This seemed like a reasonable decision, given the circumstances. However, the host responded by calling and screaming at my family, harassing them to the point of fear. She even yelled at my daughter, threatening to call the police if I did not answer her call immediately, despite the fact that I was on the lake and unable to respond at that moment. Her hostile communication made it impossible to resolve the situation calmly or effectively. Furthermore, the host unjustly withheld our $500 security deposit, citing excessive towel use and the condition of the floor, neither of which could possibly justify such a steep charge. To add insult to injury, she accused us of stealing a ceramic bear, which was actually broken in an accident and fully disclosed to her. While the host may have been upset about the lack of immediate communication regarding our car emergency, this in no

The description bio says it all. The owner was very easy to contact. If off-grid with modern house amenities is what you are looking for this is your stop. Aside from the noted access to the house and the lake just be aware of the road access. To some it could be a challange but to others it is just the right amount of adventure and excitment. Recommend AWD or 4W. The kayaks and canoe was just enough for our short 3 day stay to explore the quiet cove and also the main lake on a calm moring with little weekday boat traffic. Id recommend a boat rental if you want to see the whole lake. One of the cleanest and clearest lakes Ive ever been on. Not sure if we were just lucky but I was boggled by the absolute absence of nuance bugs. Quite time with the family disconnected from a world full of distractions was a needed change of pace. My 9yr old never wanted an electronic during our stay with all we had to keep us busy. The Foosball table provided intense competion to close out our evenings. The night sky is unparalleled if thats what you are interested in. Not a speck of light pollution will be seen here. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us.

We stayed for 5 days the previous year and made it a whole week this time around. We love the seclusion and just getting back to roots of being a human and not a robot. It’s a beautiful place that is fun and relaxing for both mind, body and soul. The owner is also super nice and a great communicator. I would highly recommend this rental. You’ll never forget it.

Beautiful get away

We were in the area for a wedding, and everything was perfect! Beautiful location, VERY secluded! Cherisse was great, very helpful and informative! Pay attention to her info and directions, you will be fine. Lots of steps, if that’s an issue for you! And no cell phone service, WI-FI, but that was ok! Lots to do if you want to go exploring too! We had a wonderful, relaxing time! Thank you!

Great Lake Escape

The Great Lake Escape INDEED!!!. Lovely cabin, beautiful surroundings, peaceful and relaxing. The mist off the lake in the mornings while sitting on the dock with my coffee was my favorite part. Cherrisse was great with communications, checking to see if we made it. She left great directions. We stopped at a Farmers Market in Ooltewah and the well stocked Ingles in Andrews before going to the cabin. The cabin was very clean, cozy and had everything we needed for our stay. We are very thankful for being able to share this sweet retreat. Thank you.

Wonderful Cabin - Isolated Location - No Water View

The cabin was well stocked and comfortable. With the trees and dense growth, we could not see the water - and it was quite a distance downhill to the dock. We had a real issue getting our luggage and groceries to the cabin from the car - 30 steps were too much for 70+ adults. The owner was very thoughtful and had lots of instructional notes but we just would not be able to rent again with the steps and isolation.

Lake vacation

My family enjoyed a long weekend staying at this cabin. The cabin was so clean. My boys ages 5 and 9 were on the water from the time we got there to the time we left. We enjoyed fishing, swimming, kayaking, and we rented a boat to explore the lake. It was a great time. We didn't have to leave cabin the whole time. There is no cell phone service at all but that made the weekend even better. Cherise was easy to get a hold of and made the stay a breeze.

Relax and recharge

This was exactly what I was looking for: a comfortable place to unplug from work and replenish, located right on a beautiful lake in one of the most beautiful places in NC and the U.S. Cherrise was perfect with the communication from check in to check out. I used the kayaks everyday and brought a paddle board as well - super easy getting everything in and out of the lake from the dock. I would suggest to examine and print out detailed directions to the cabin ahead of time to compliment whatever navigation app you're using, just to have some backup in case google maps falters once you lose cell service. Loved this place and can't wait to go back!
