Big open floor plan with large kitchen, dining, and family room. Just added a huge playroom/2nd family room with shuffleboard table and arcade games. Whiskey Barrel table and chairs for more dining , more comfy couches and tv. Great for relaxing, or playing cards or games…. Upstairs has 2 very large bedrooms, a bathroom, and loft/office area with a brand new Queen sofa bed. All mattresses and most furniture are brand new. Also has a large fire pit area to make smore's or just sit around and enjoy the beauty that surrounds you! There is a small fishing/swimming spring fed lake right down the road from the house in the community also. This is a very friendly community,, that is very private yet close to all kinds of fun things to do. The NOC "Nantahala Outdoor Center is about 15 minutes away where you can go white water rafting, zip lining, kayaking, or just sit and enjoy watching all the action. There are also numerous restaurants, and The Harrah's Casino in Cherokee is about 20 minutes from the house. It also offers a Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, Guy Ferrari’s and a Brio Restaurant and other restaurants inside the Casino. There is boat rentals on Lake Fontana 5 minutes down the road. Mountain biking at Tsali Trails is 5 mins away. Bryson City is only 15 minutes away and has numerous shops, restaurants, breweries, Darnell Farms, and the train to enjoy also. There is also tubing down the rapids which is a blast! There is also the Smoky Mountain Railroad if you're interested in a train ride. Unplugged is a fun place on the weekends they offer live music, Anthony's is great for pizza, and if you're in the mood for Mexican, 4 Queens is the place! Ingles is the grocery store in town and will have everything you need. We also have a Dollar General less than 10 mins from the house for essentials or a last minute snack. I've been coming here since I was a child and I'm 60 now. This is the best getaway to make awesome family memories and most of all get away from the hustle and bustle of the city life and just RELAX!! This is our 2nd home not just a rental. It feels like you are home here... Very well appointed with EVERYTHING you need to be comfortable! If there is work involved, there are 2 offices where you can set up and have your workspace also. Our flat, very large driveway will fit numerous cars, or a trailer for your bikes. Very easy access in and out. I am available for any questions you may have as far as restaurants, or things to do and where. I hope you will make lots of great memories like we have while staying at The Sansquatch Inn!! ## Property amenities ### Ski - Close to skiing - Snowboarding nearby ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 2.5 bathrooms - Bathtub - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Video games ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Computer monitor - Desk - Desk chair - Office - Printer ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Service animals only (pets not allowed) ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping (on request) - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In the mountains - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near the marina - On a lake ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Ice skating nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Rafting nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Sledding nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden - Housekeeping (on request) - Unit size: 4,000 square feet ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM Minimum check-in age: 30 ### Check-out Check-out before 10:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Rules Must remove all trash and take it to local dumpsite.

Top quality furnishings, wonderful kitchen. Great for a large group but only issue maybe parking. Very limited if you are a motorcycle group like us that may have trailers. Driveway would hold I believe 6 cars. Otherwise one of the nicest you will find. ##### thomas t. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Renee L.

Aug 17, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful and Relaxing Everything about this property is magic, from location to amenities. We used our time together in a beautiful location to regroup before everyone headed back to school and it was perfect. From breakfasts on on back porch to watching sunrises on the front porch, card games, and walks to the lake we had a great time. Great location in proximity to Bryson City and some fun water activities at Fontana Lake. Owners were generous with their time and help with securing the property and with communication for check ins and small things like telling us where to grocery shop! Perfect getaway! ##### Jen C.
