Loved the property being so close to the water. The use of kayaks was a bonus. House was clean and kitchen well stocked. My only draw back was the amount of road noise coming from across the cove. I hope to stay again.

I always love this wonderful home! Had the BEST time and this is the third time we have stayed. Planning to stay again in the very near future. In love with the lake, the quiet, the screened in porch, the comfortable furniture, the wonderful bed and perfectly appointed kitchen. The dock rocks and spent lots of time out in my kayak and watching the moon rise over the lack. Can’t wait to come back!!! Jos

What a beautiful stay at Carrie's cottage on Lake Santeetlah! We had a great time, enjoying the lake and dock, the kayaks, and the wonderful screened-in porch. It was a much-needed few days of downtime in this charming and comfortable place just steps from the water. Thank you!

Lake house

We checked in Thursday and stayed through Sunday. The place is very nice. The screened porch was relaxing in the heat of the day. The dock allowed for me to keep my boat close. The setting is peaceful. We will definitely want to stay here again.

End of summer trip

The dock gets all day sunlight, until around 7:30. Kayaked around, cooked food and drank, that was all the wife and i wanted, but we got a very comfort home to stay in and that's a big plus, would love to rent it again next year.

Lovely Lake Stay

Simple lake life, older home but renovated with everything you need to enjoy the relaxing atmosphere. Pristine water and well kept dock. We swam and ventured out in the kayaks. Read and ate meals on the screened in porch and watched the clouds dance on the water. Great house for a small group. Definitely contact Jared at Smoky Mountain Kayak Fishing. Went on a sunset fishing cruise and it was gorgeous. Don’t miss Roger at Pineapple Whips!

Lovely mountain family getaway

Lovely home! Our family enjoyed the comfort of the home. Only issue is the basement area seemed to have drainage issues and the carpet was wet in some areas and smelled moldy. I’m not that picky and I understand the challenges of drainage in the mountains so I’ll be generous on the rating. If someone has respiratory issues that could be a problem for the property owner. I would remediate immediately because that is a liability.

Oh. My. Gosh. Sooo happy. It was a week of paradise. Mornings sitting and having hot tea on the screened in porch, just steps away from the lake, watching the fog clear off the lake and mountains. The bed was amazing. I have a high end mattress and need to find out which one we slept on at Sunset Cotttage because it was amazing. Wonderfully stocked kitchen. Very comfortable furniture. Sheer heaven. Very pet friendly, my little dog would sit on the porch with me. Definitely returning! Host was very responsive when there was a storm and I momentarily lost internet (learned, turn it off - wait a couple minutes - turn it back on..YAY). Responded right away to my question. Can’t say enough positive things about this verbo experience.
