Mountain Lake House - Hot tub, fire pit, fish and swim!

BRAND NEW HOT TUB! Escape to our family friendly 2BR/3BA lakeside retreat near Bryson City & Smoky Mountain Nat'l Park! Perfect for 8 guests, enjoy world-class hiking, biking, fishing, and famous motorcycle routes like Tail of the Dragon. Easy access via paved roads, our home offers a hot tub, fire pit, swimming & fishing lake, and a patio above a charming creek. Relax by one of two cozy fireplaces and take in serene lake views. A memorable getaway awaits in this natural paradise!

Reilly's Creek, a delightful lakeside home, offers a spacious and comfortable stay. The first floor features a cozy fireplace, living area, well-equipped kitchen, laundry room, and bathroom. Step out onto the porch to relax above the creek or unwind in the hot tub. Gather around the firepit near the lake for memorable evenings.

Home was clean and set in a peaceful, relaxing location. It had plenty of space for our family of 4. Nice size screened-in porch to hang out in.When we arrived, the hot tub wasn’t heating properly because it had accidentally been set to economy mode before our stay. We had some trouble with it the first couple of days, but Dan was very responsive and quickly sent someone out to fix it. After that, we were able to fully enjoy it.The property is also conveniently located—just an easy 15–20 minute drive from Bryson City. Overall, a wonderful stay and we’d definitely consider coming back!

We loved Reilly's VRBO. It was great for our family and was centrally located to rafting, the casino, and Bryson City. I enjoyed being able to walk across the street and catch bass!

We came to raft the Nantahala River and this was the perfect place for us. It was very clean and provided a great place for us to grill out, sit down, and catch up with each other. I wish we could have stayed another day and visited Cherokee. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed and the hot tub was a bif relief aftet spending a day in the cold waternof the Nantahala. We would definitely stay at this house again.

We had an excellent stay at Reilly’s Cabin. The drive to the property was beautiful, and the neighborhood was peaceful and inviting. I especially enjoyed walking our dogs along the quiet road with its scenic lake views. The cabin itself was spotless, beautifully maintained, and thoughtfully designed, offering plenty of space for our family to relax and unwind. The beds and linens were exceptionally comfortable, and the outdoor amenities were outstanding. We particularly enjoyed spending time on the screened-in porch and soaking in the hot tub. Overall, Reilly’s Cabin exceeded our expectations and provided the perfect mountain retreat.

Wonderful Experience

My family and I had an absolutely wonderful time. Home was just as described. One of the cleanest places we have stayed in. Lots of room for my nephew to play. The owners (Dan and Anna) have truly thought of anything you might need during your stay. In a quiet location, close to all the places we wanted to visit. I would highly recommend this home. We hope to visit the area again and will definitely be looking to stay here.
