About this property

Come enjoy our second home, Nantahala Haven, on beautiful Lake Nantahala. Lake Nantahala is second highest lake east of the Mississippi River and is located within the Nantahala National Forest at 3,000 feet of elevation. Its waters are crystal clear with multiple waterfalls pouring into the lake along its 33+ miles of shoreline. It is surrounded by the Smokey Mountains and has sweeping mountain views. The vast majority of the shoreline is protected by the Nantahala National Forest and there are only approximately 100 lake front homes on Lake Nantahala.

Lake Nantahala is an approximately 2 hour drive from Atlanta, GA or Asheville, NC.

Lake Nantahala is one of the Souths best fishing lakes with Wallaye, Small and Largemouth Bass, Kokanee Salmon, Trout and other types of fish.

The Nantahala River is a 10 minute drive and has world class trout fishing and is a beautiful setting!

Due to its remote location, it is never crowded. There are no horsepower restrictions for boating and two local marinas have all types of boats for rent. A public boat ramp is less than 1 mile from the house.

Nantahala Haven is located within the gated neighborhood of Nantahala Shores. It is waterfront and one of the few houses in Nantahala Shores that is built close to the water to allow spectacular mountain and lake views during all seasons. There are steps with rails to get from parking to front entrance of the house.

Nantahala Haven is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath home that has a King size bed in the master, with living room and kitchen overlooking the lake. Guest bedrooms and loft include queen and twin sized beds.

Nantahala Haven has a gentle slope to a private dock. Kayaks, floats and life vests are included. There is a gas grill, Solo fire pit and deck overlooking the water. Towels are provided as well for use on the water. DirecTV and WiFi are available.

In addition to the lake, other activities nearby include hiking (Appalachian and Bartram trails), mountain biking, whitewater rafting or trout fishing on the Nantahala River. We are located about 90 minutes from Cherokee, NC which is the gateway to the Great Smokey Mountains National Park and also the home of the Cherokee Casino.

We purchased this home in 2018. It was previously listed on VRBO for 10 years and had a perfect 17/17 5* reviews. VRBO listings are non-transferable to new owners but we are confident that you will love your stay and would welcome you to experience our families favorite lake front getaway!!!

Bookings are Saturday - Saturday during June - August unless a different request is granted by owner. For other months, owners are happy to book for less than 7 days.

Family trip

We have visited Nantahala with a family group for over 40 years. This cabin was very nice and the hosts were very accommodating. It is not for anyone who has trouble with stairs, but we were informed about that and the steep driveway. Everything we need was supplied and the lake is gorgeous. Just bring food.

Stairs - Beware!

The view of the lake from the cabin is absolutely, one-hundred percent beautiful! We really enjoyed using the kayaks every day. It is so peaceful and calm there. That being said, there were a few negatives. Except for the one bed, all the rest of the beds were exceptionally hard, which made every night an uncomfortable night's sleep for most of us. Another important item to note is that there are 40 steep stairs to access the house from the driveway, and the driveway is also very steep. It is not wheelchair accessible and is very difficult for anyone not in good physical shape to manage. Finally, the WiFi is satellite and extremely slow.

About the host

Hosted by Casey

We are a family of 4 who love the great outdoors! Nantahala Haven is a dream come true for our family. We purchased as our second home in 2018 and have loved spending time on Lake Nantahala and the surrounding areas! We love to hike, mountain bike and fish. But the main reason we purchased this home is to spend time on one of the most beautiful lakes we've ever seen!

Why they chose this property

Lake Nantahala is one of the most beautiful mountain lakes in the country! Our home is one of the few homes in the gated community of Nantahala Shores that has year round big water views. Most other homes are built away from the water which allows trees to obstruct views during the late Spring through early Fall. Our home has big water views from the living room with easy/flat access from the home to a private dock. 180 degree mountain views abound from the dock and the best sunsets on the lake can be viewed with only a 1 minute kayak paddle from the dock. And the sunsets from the dock are very nice themselves!!!
Kayaks and life vests are provided with the rental.

What makes this property unique

If you want a house with views that you can enjoy at any time from any spot on the property, this is your place. The views are the main reason we selected this home!
Our home also has one of the easiest ways to access the lake from the home given how close the house is to the water.
