The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable vacation. The kitchen was well-equipped, the beds were comfortable, and the location was perfect for exploring and enjoying the very beautiful and quiet lake. The host was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the booking process and our stay. We especially appreciated being able to include usage of the grill and more so the pontoon boat.

Oct 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Our week at this beautiful home on Nantahala Lake was everything we hoped for and more! The house was very clean and welcoming. Balconies looking out over the lake, tall trees & mountains. We loved waking up to the cool mountain air and ending our days in the hot tub watching the sun set over the water. Plenty of private space, it was so fun exploring all of the floors and property. There was plenty of room for everyone, with two master bedrooms, 3 other bedrooms, a cozy loft, and a huge game room downstairs. A movie theater room that quickly became our favorite hangout spot. The private dock was perfect for fishing, swimming, or just sitting quietly and taking in the view.Coming from Florida, seeing the fall colors in October was absolutely breathtaking. It was one of those trips that left us feeling refreshed, grateful, and already planning our next visit back.We can’t recommend this place enough! ##### Amie H.

Sep 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great mountain lake house We loved this place. This large mountain house that overlooks a gorgeous lake is wonderful. The lake is low this time of year but it still didn’t deter the beauty of the lake surrounded by mountains. We loved everything about this house. The game room was great to hang out and play games on the pool table and foosball. We used the pontoon boat to ride around and just enjoy the surroundings. Highly recommend. It does cost extra but I feel it’s worth it. Just be prepared for a lot of steps in the house and outside but it is on a side of a mountain and the house is massive so we felt we got our exercise in. lol. The owner Greg and caretaker were very nice and always answered our questions in a timely matter. Thanks again for a wonderful stay. ##### Carrie W. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Karen Z. Oct 22, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Lake Nantahala Family Trip The house was very nice, but it was obvious it had not been stayed in recently. The kitchen was well equipped. The hot tub worked well. There was plenty of room for 8 adults and 3 young children and we all had a great stay. The area is beautiful and remote. Parking was creative with a van, suv, and 2 mid-size cars. A sign in the kitchen said that we had to supply our own internet. We left a message for a property owner. Donna promptly returned our call. She was extremely nice and helpful. We had found the password for the free wifi by then. We let Donna know that lightbulbs needed replaced, fireplaces were not working, and slats on the stairs to the dock needed replaced. She had the repairman come out promptly and most of it was fixed. We contacted the repairman directly during the week (per instructions) concerning a garbage disposal clog, but he never returned the call. We let Donna know about contacting the repairman, the propane living room fireplace never turning on, the garbage disposal, and a broken refrigerator bin when we left as someone else was arriving after us and figured she would want to have some of that fixed. We also let her know that the trash disposal place was closed on the day we left (Friday) as trash is not supposed to be left in the house. We cleaned the house and took our trash with us. It has been over a week since we left and I am still waiting for our pet and house deposit to be refunded. ##### Karen Z. Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### K H. Jul 28, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### 7 out of 10 Starting at the bottom floor - 1st floor - game room & half bath 2nd floor - master bedroom, theater, laundry room & half bath 3rd floor - Living, dining, kitchen, full bath & 3 bedrooms (This level has the front door). 4th floor - 2nd master bedroom & small landing Pros: -Comes with a pontoon boat that you can rent (small motor). -Great communication w/ owner. -Pool table & hot tub. -Ample parking compared to the neighbors. -Plenty of kitchen gadgets & cookware. -Grill stocked w/ propane. -Water at dock is deep and easy to swim in. -Beautiful setting. Cons: -140+ stairs 1-way to the dock. -Stairs to the water are fairly old and very slippery (We had 1 person and a dog fall on them). -One section of the descent to the lake doesn't even have stairs, just a mud/root area. -1 lane gravel road getting to the house. -Rentable pontoon boat doesn't leave the dock if you don't rent it. (We rented a jet skis and a pontoon with larger motor from the marina and it was a pain to dock all of it with the other pontoon there). -Lots of check out rules. -Small kitchen considering size of house -Dealing w/ the trash is AWFUL. (Instructions said trash drop off was open on certain days but those days were wrong, & pretty difficult to find - you'll be surprised how much trash you make in a week....). -Simple things like toilet paper & dish soap are NOT provided. -Wifi password was on a scrap of paper shoved in a box with random stuff. -Internet is pretty bad. -Only 1 TV would work. ##### K H.

The place is spotless, cozy, had high speed internet and perfectly tucked away in the mountains — the ideal spot to relax and unwind. The views are absolutely breathtaking, especially at sunrise and sunset. The cabin had everything I needed, from a fully equipped kitchen to super comfortable beds and a peaceful porch to enjoy my morning coffee.Whether you’re looking to hike, fish, or just enjoy some quiet time in nature, this is the perfect spot. I can’t recommend it enough and can’t wait to come back! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/06104c06-7795-4f81-a5d6-a05bf47b0ff0-1762035783101.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4ce14444-5718-4de9-9087-3692a962822b-1762035786753.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6eecc064-8fae-473b-ac3c-205278ccd180-1762035789070.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d0cbbf21-6e3e-40dd-aaaa-89183e515e72-1762035790646.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Lareina C.

Pay attention to the cons from other reviews and to the honest description of the property and access. There are some real challenges there.

The house had everything we needed for a baby and toddlers. Plenty of room for a large family. We also rented the pontoon boat and ventured out on the most beautiful lake! The cool water was enjoyed by the kids and well as most of us adults! Would recommend to any family for a good timed in the mountains! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/dddd067d-773c-44bb-939f-6e3be6f9b474-1750809307905.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Roellen W.

This is our third year vacationing on Nantahala Lake and have tried to stay in different places—this is one of our favorites!From playing in the jacuzzi to tubing on the lake, playing pool to foosball, and relaxing on the multi-level balconies and theater room—it was all so much fun. We dubbed this place the Stairway to Heaven because we counted approximately 222 stairs from the top room to the boat dock—great workout and great fun! ##### Addie W.

Jul 13, 2025 Liked: Location, listing accuracy #### Nice house, few issues Overall the house is nice, we could not use the hot tub as it was dirty and when we turned it on, it was filled with a lot of foam and chlorine smell was unbearable. The key box is difficult to open. Taking out trash required us to drive 30 minutes one way!!! Otherwise they threatened to charge us for each trash bag. There are over 100 steep stairs to the lake, keep it in mind. ##### Marina G. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steven C.

We had a great time kayaking (over 8 miles) and riding on the pontoon! My 3 boys, husband and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at your place. Thank you for sharing it with us!! ##### LeAnn S. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2020 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good Jul 25, 2017 #### Great home with plenty of room. Great view overlooking the lake. This was our first annual immediate family reunion. The house was beautiful with wood decor and a great view of the lake. It was roomy and slept 12 comfortably and is pet friendly! The only comment I would have is that the access to the dock needs work - you had to walk across a loose 2x6 to get from the steps the the dock.

It is beautiful! It is very clean and well maintained. There are a lot of activities and restaurants nearby. We especially enjoyed renting a pontoon boat one day to take the children tubing. One day was spent river rafting, which was enjoyed by all of us. GREAT BEDS!!! ##### Betty C. ### 8/10 Good #### Eric S., DC Aug 28, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place on an amazing lake This property is a great place right on the lake with amazing views, nice furnishings, all the kitchen essentials, great video room and best movie collection I have ever seen and nice game room. Being close to a public boat launch is great since the grandparents didn't have to navigate the 80 or so steps. My only concern was there could be a few more basics like extra plates salad bowls, spices and the steps could be fixed up ( section had missing handrail) and be extended to cover all areas of the walk down to the lake. Still, I'd come back. ##### Eric S. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### April J. Jul 22, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Awesome lake house Great time with our family at Lake Nantahala in this house big enough to fit our family reunion. 4 stories of space with game room & movie theater. Supplied with movies or bring your own. Pool, fuseball, fire pit, dock & boat! The only thing is you have to be in shape, in lake Nantahala, most homes have many steps to get from lake to house. This one was no exception but beautiful comfortable home !! I would come again for sure. ##### April J. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Dayna S. Jul 9, 2021 Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Summer vacation The house was wonderful for large group . There were many steps to the lake so if you have family members unable to make the journey this is not the place. Attention to the step area near the lake needs to be completed b/c it is slippery when wet. Beautiful home and wonderful lake. We rented the pontoon boat for several days and the process was very easy , Trevor dropped off the keys and picked them up in timely manner, very nice gentelman. We enjoyed our stay, thank-you for sharing your lovely home. ##### Dayna S.
