Quiet Lakeside Mountain Retreat on beautiful Lake Santeetlah

You will surely remember the time spent with family and friends in the beautiful Stillwater Mountain House, nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains on Lake Santeetlah. There's something for everyone here. Guests can enjoy all of the amenities of the lake while relaxing on one of the three large decks, swimming or boating off the private dock on deep water, or exploring the lake on one of the four kayaks available. Bring your own boat, or you can rent a ski boat, pontoon boat, or other watercraft nearby as well.

Inside the home, you'll enjoy lake views from nearly every room. The Nantahala Forest is directly across the lake from the house, making it seem like your own private retreat! You will find large bedrooms, an upstairs family room, a large great room with a harvest dining table, a big lower level rec room and a breakfast room all with doors opening to decks on their respective levels that overlook Lake Santeetlah.

Amazing House!!!! Amazing Location!!!
We absolutely loved this house! The pictures don’t do it justice. We have stayed in a LOT of vacation rentals in the past 20 years and this was by far the cleanest, most well stocked house we’ve stayed. There wasn’t anything that we needed that wasn’t there already. The location was perfect. We loved being right on the lake. We rented a boat from Santeetlah Marina and Outfitters and are so glad we did. Randall was very helpful with our boat rental (but that’s another review😊) We loved just sitting on the dock and enjoying the view, swimming, fishing and boating around the lake. The house itself was in great condition. I really can’t say enough how clean this home was. The beds were comfortable and the shower’s water pressure/hot water was great. The kitchen is really well stocked with probably everything you might need. We are already planning our next trip back!!! Thank you, Chis and Tom!

Great family house!
Our family really enjoyed our stay. The house is set up great for a family and it was stocked well for all of our needs. The location on the lake was beautiful and the hosts were quick to respond with anything we needed.

About the host

Hosted by Chris & Tom Stapleton

Host profile image
Tom and I both grew up in Centerville, Ohio, and were married in 1987. We continue to maintain the first historic home that we purchased in 1989 in Tipp City, Ohio. We have two grown children and two dogs that we love dearly. I am a retired elementary school teacher and Tom is a builder, currently working for a heavy civil contractor. We've "rescued" and sold two older homes in our hometown, and we are excited to share our new home with you!

Why they chose this property

We started thinking about our dream retirement home several years ago, considering different lakes between Ohio and Georgia. As our search focused on the mountains along the Tennessee / North Carolina Line, we stumbled upon the relatively unknown lake called Lake Santeetlah. We knew right away that this quiet mountain lake with National Forest on 86% of the shoreline and lake levels that stay within 10 feet year round, was the perfect lake. We spent several weeks looking for our forever home, and when we walked through this house and onto the back deck for the first time, we knew that Stillwater Mountain House was the right home for us.

What makes this property unique

Come to Stillwater Mountain House, and you'll see why we chose it! Relax, surrounded by views of the lake and mountains. Rejuvenate yourself engaging in outdoor activities surrounded by nature's bounty.
