Dream Chaser Chalet

There is something extra special about these mountains. Take the time to breathe the fresh air, and listen to nature arise, while enjoying the tranquility that the mountains surrounding Nantahala Lake have to offer.

This beautiful Chalet is located in Nantahala in the beautiful mountains of western North Carolina, surrounded by the Nantahala National Forest. View Nantahala Lake that sits at 3,012 feet in elevation one of the highest lakes. The property is just shy of 1 acre and sits on top of a hill surrounded by nature. It is located in the Little Choga gated community right outside of the known town of Andrews, NC. Dream Chaser is a 3 bedroom 3 ½ bath BOHO/Rustic style chalet. We wanted to bring new and vintage together to stay true to the area and home.
Dream Chaser being located in the quiet Little Choga private community allows you to go on morning or afternoon walks with not many cars coming in and out of the area. The area is known for whitewater rafting, kayaking, river tubing, canoeing, camping, fishing, mountain hiking and biking, and snow skiing. It is also known for its history surrounding the Cherokee Indians and has the Cherokee Indian Reservation & Casino located nearby.

ABOUT THE LAKE:
Access Nantahala Lake off Big Choga Rd. Nantahala Lake is a clear deep over 100 feet deep in some areas. In the spring and summer, they raise the water of the lake, while during the fall and winter months they lower it. Unlike many other lakes, Nantahala is surrounded by the Nantahala National Forest and is not overpopulated with homes as many areas are part of the forest. The lake is also home to many fish including Large and Smallmouth Bass, Walleye, Rainbow and Brown Trout. The lake is home to the Kokanee Salmon which is a salmon primarily located in the west (ex. Alaska, Oregon), yet thrives in Nantahala Lake and is the only place in the southeast United States where they can be found.
Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a kitchen, a washing machine, and 3.5 bathrooms.

We loved our stay at this property! The house was beautiful, clean and the lake was very relaxing. The hosts were very communicative and provided good recommendations for the area and directions to the house. We enjoyed the lake, BBQ grill, fire pit, games, and just sitting on the outdoor deck and taking in the scenery. A few things to note for potential renters: 1. Pay very close attention to the directions to the property, as google maps does not do a great job. Also, the drive to the home is gravel for several miles, so that is something to consider depending on the type of vehicle you own. 2. It is many steps down to the lake access from the house, or you can drive and park closer to the dock. It is not wheelchair accessible and may be difficult for those with mobility issues. 3. The dock is not private and is shared with other homes in the community. Overall, this was a great value, and we had a wonderful time!!

Wonderful experience

This is a wonderful home. Our host was quick to answer any of our questions. The house was immaculate. There were seven of us total, all adults, and there was plenty of space. My three kids and two significant others. My kids are all in college and we went over fall break. We all wish we had more time. This is a home that we will visit again in the future, and stay for a longer time.

Beautiful views & cabin

We did have a few problems finding the place, but the neighbors were wonderful, helping to navigate the mountain. As soon as you start up the mountain you lose Wi-Fi and phone connection. (all stated in the directions but we didn't realize just how quick we would lose service. There was plenty of recreation supplies. The place was pretty and we really enjoyed sitting on the porch in the mornings, and a fire in the fire pit at night. Bring extra towels if you can. I would recommend it and would go back! again if we have the chance!!
