Amazing views and perfect stay

We rented this last minute as an alternative to being evacuated from tropical storm Debby. I’m so glad we did! The views are magical, and the whole experience was first class. From the complimentary snack basket welcoming us to the cabin to the relaxing hot tub, this is a wonderful space. Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back!

We stayed in this beautiful home for 7 days and everyday the views from the decks became more stunnung as the leaves started changing colors. It rained a couple days which was a perfect excuse to stay in and enjoy the house. Great area to site see and waterfall hike. Kichen is stocked with everything you could want. Comfortable beds and pillows. The best VRBO rental weve ever rented. .cant wait to come back.

Need attention to details.

Overall we had a good experience. Only and probably the main problem we really had was cleanliness. Downstairs bedroom was full of dog hair, dirty linens (not washed) dust and dog hair on the floor. We had to laundry the linens and towels. Stunning views to the lake and mountains.

Gorgeous

What an absolutely amazing property!! I will say as Floridians the almost mile hike up the road/driveway gave me butterflies, however, it was completely worth it! Once we arrived we didn’t want to leave, the house is gorgeous and had a wonderful welcoming flow, the outdoor spaces were amazing, even my little ones were excited to pick different places to eat, or draw or play and the views were stunning. The only slight let down was no wood supply. While they do give you two bundles for a week stay that’s nowhere near enough. Most mountain vacation rentals we’ve stayed in have a huge supply, but the woods were all around so we made due We would highly recommend.

Amazing House & Location

The photos of this place are nice, but the reality is even better! We visited in November, so without the leaves on the trees, the views were even more spectacular. I'm sure they're still great in the summer, they have the sightline to the lake opened up. The deck and large windows face south, so wonderful sun all day long. Very private and quiet. Very clean and well taken care of. They even had automated outdoor Christmas lights and a tree decorated in the living room to enhance the holiday atmosphere. Excellent location with many outdoor activities close by. Not a single complaint! A little pricey, but worth it! No cell reception and the internet is quite slow, but we we're there to unplug anyway. A great vacation made even better by a great rental.

Secluded Cabin with Breathtaking Views of Nantahala Lake

This dog friendly cabin is very clean with nice amenities and amazing views. Definitely recommend 4-wheel drive or all-wheel drive to access the cabin as it is a steep gravel driveway. The management company was very responsive when we had an issue with the heat, which was fixed promptly. Great for honeymoon or couples getaway.

Nantahala Paradise

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights with our 2 dogs. This is a wonderful cabin, and the view is perfect. Everything was clean and just as pictured. The only thing we needed was a bigger skillet to fry bacon in. Highly recommend the drive up to Wayah Bald a short distance away, and renting a pontoon one day. The marina had fair prices, and really nice boats with a great staff. As stated....it is in a secluded area which is exactly what we were looking for so don't forget to stop got groceries before getting there.
