Amazing Stay!

This was truly an amazing Thanksgiving away. The cabin was great! It clean and very accommodating for a family of 12. Pictures simply cannot capture how beautiful the view was. The owners were great and very responsive with any questions we had. My family and I had an amazing time and will definitely return.

Such a peaceful home in the serenity of Nantahala!

We were visiting for my brother’s wedding and had such a lovely visit! The house easily accommodated our group of 7 (two small kids) and could have comfortably fit a handful more. The kitchen was well stocked, lounge areas very comfortable for nights hanging with the family, and bathrooms very suitable for all the work that goes into wedding prep :) The beds were very comfortable and everyone felt like they had great nights’ sleep—very needed after long travels from the West Coast! But perhaps above all of that was Craig’s communication and responsiveness. He was SO helpful and friendly. He truly made our trip. And make sure you listen to his advice on getting a 4WD for the steep gravel driveway! We went in early Nov and there was one drizzly day that our 2WD barely made it out. Thank you so much for the great stay!

We enjoyed soaking up the view from the many porches, hot tub and the dock. Owners were very quick to respond to questions. We would definitely stay here again!

The music was softly playing in the master bedroom lighting was on and it was chilled off nicely! And the view! Incredible!!!! We really enjoyed our stay and the owner texted us and communicated with us all week about things we were curious or recommendations needed. It was like texting a friend and very quick to respond.

Always a Huge Hit-This was our 2nd Stay at this LOVELY home

We had the pleasure of staying at the most enchanting lakefront home in North Carolina, and it truly exceeded all our expectations. This lovely abode offered everything one could possibly wish for in a peaceful lakeside retreat, making it an unforgettable experience that left lasting family memories. The first thing that captured our hearts was the breathtaking view of the lake. The home's strategic location allowed us to wake up every morning to the most stunning sunrise over the serene waters. Whether we were enjoying a cup of coffee on the deck or simply lounging in the living room, the captivating lake views were a constant source of tranquility and joy. One of the highlights of the property was the relaxing hot tub. After a day of exploring the surrounding nature or engaging in water activities, sinking into the warm waters of the hot tub was an absolute treat. It was the perfect way to unwind and share stories under the twinkling stars. Another delightful feature was the porch swing bed. Swinging gently, lulled by the lake's gentle breeze, was an experience that felt like pure bliss. It quickly became our go-to spot for afternoon naps or quiet moments with a good book. The lakeside fire pit area was an absolute hit with our entire family. We spent evenings gathered around the crackling fire, toasting marshmallows and making s'mores—a classic camping activity elevated to a whole new level of comfort and relaxation. The private dock with a ladder provided endless fun for our family. We had a blast swimming and playing in the clear waters of the lake. It was the ideal place for various water activities, from swimming to fishing, adding an extra layer of excitement to our vacation. Stepping inside the home was like entering a dream. The interior was beautifully decorated, striking a perfect balance between rustic charm and modern comfort. The attention to detail in the decor made us feel right at home. The living spaces were spacious, inviting, and filled with natural light, ensuring we always felt comfortable and at ease. Above all, the memories we made in this lovely home will be cherished for a lifetime. It provided the perfect setting for quality time with our family, fostering a sense of togetherness and happiness. We plan to return again, as this home is a hidden gem that we feel incredibly lucky to have discovered. Craig and Andrea are wonderful hosts. They go out of their way to make you feel at home. Best vacay ever in N.C.!
