The cabin is in an amazing location with one of the best views in North Carolina. The deck and dock are awesome. The house is comfortable. There is parking for 2 to 3 cars. Lots to do around the area, or within 1-3 hours. The host were super responsive and easy to deal with. We even bought some of Cheryl‘s pottery.

Property was exactly as described maybe better. The dock is very large and gets a lot of sun. The water off the dock is clean and clear and deep, great for diving!! Cottage was comfortable all beds were comfy to sleep in. Well stocked kitchen only thing missing was a grill. We bought one and left it for the next guest to enjoy! The view from this cabin is spectacular!! We will definitely be booking here again. Thanks Cheryl!!

What a charming home directly on beautiful Lake Santeetlah. The home is decorated nicely with all of the comfort's needed for a stay. We spent every afternoon on the dock and played in the cleanest lake we’ve ever seen! The sunsets are spectacular. During the day, we explored nearby parks, hiking trails and waterfalls. Perfect for a couple and families. Would definitely stay again.
