The living room has a sofa, chair, storage ottoman with kids activities, and a 60” wifi TV.
The kitchen has a stove/oven combo, microwave, dishwasher and refrigerator. There is a small, movable kitchen island for added preparation space. We have you covered with a drip-coffee maker as well. You will definitely want to enjoy your morning coffee on the outdoor porch.
The dining room features a counter height table with six chairs. The area behind the sofa and next to the dining room has a twin daybed with a twin trundle. Extra pillows and blankets are found in the bedrooms. This sleeping area is not private and shares the full bathroom with the other guests. This sleeping area is ideal for kids.
As you walk through the sliding glass doors, you have the beautiful view of Lake Santeetlah. On this screened-in porch, you can relax on the sectional sofa or have your meals at the second dining table.

The dock is steps away from the cottage. If you bring your own boat, you can tie up on the dock. You will not be able to bring the boat trailer to the property. You will need to leave that at the boat launch.

About the host
Hosted by Carrie Willard
Residing in the suburbs of Atlanta, my world brims with artistic endeavors intertwined with family life alongside my husband and our two children. My identity thrives as a mixed media artist, and I delight in exploring the realms of interior design. I love introducing guests to the fusion of comfort and style. Stay connected with me @nclakegetaways for the latest updates on my cozy homes & an array of activities in the Western NC region.
Why they chose this property
Our cottage is located in a cove of Lake Santeetlah. We do have neighbors but I would not call it a neighborhood. The house next door to the cottage is also a rental and the house on the hill is a rental as well. The black house in the trees is a private residence. The houses across the cove are in a neighborhood and there can be alot of activity over there in the summer.
What makes this property unique
This location is unique as there are no staircases to get to the lake. You can get out of your car and walk straight to the dock. The water is clean and pristine and perfect for swimming and lounging.
