Awesome aqesome

I know. About lake Nantahala for awhile and know it was a clean lake. To be honest the lake house was perfect the grandkids loved it better than the beach. So many options to do on the water. The house had a variety of lake toys that were perfect. The house was great and roomy and we had porches to eat on etc. Iit really was better than a beach vacation. We will definitely be back! The communication and response was top notch! Thanks for sharing the house !!!

A perfect trip

This getaway was just perfect. So much to do for everyone, relaxing on the porch overlooking the lake, water activities, everything we needed for cooking out, great time cooking s'mores at the fire pit, beautiful sunsets, inviting jacuzzi on porch, and a quick drive to local activities on the Nantahala and in Highlands, NC. A perfect trip.

Our family enjoyed our time at the house and at the gorgeous lake. It was very remote and quiet and very beautiful. The house was great but the boat was a disappointment especially for the fee charged. Thanks for sharing your home with us for the week.

Great family vacation house!

Tastefully decorated, comfortable, well-outfitted house with gorgeous views-really nicely set up for a multi-generational family vacation like ours. Comfy downstairs area for the kids, and good wifi. House is in great condition with all sorts of options for water sports and general relaxation. Owners quickly remedied a check-in snafu, which was much appreciated, and were otherwise very responsive and provided lots of thorough info about the house and the area. We’d love to return - Lake Nantahala is a hidden gem!

Great spot on the lake

The house was perfect and the access to the lake was great! Kayaks and canoes provided, which led to hours of fun. Swimming off the dock was great, too! The only challenge is the driveway—pretty steep. Low clearance vehicles will have a challenge. The owners give good tips on how to manage it, though.

Nice stay!

We have stayed at several spots on the lake. This is the best view yet. Access to the lake is by far the best yet. It is a super nice house also. Plenty of room for my family of seven. The only downer is the driveway access. But, we hope to return there in the future. If we do It would be the first house we have stayed in twice over the many years we have vacationed in the area.

What a spot!

This place is amazing! The house is nice and very accommodating. Bradley is a terrific host. But most of all, this location is simply amazing! The lake is pristine. The shoreline across from the house is national forest. The stars at night are incredible! We stayed for 3 nights and never got back in our car until it was time to check out. Never wanted to. Highly recommend this sweet little corner of the universe.

Slice of heaven on earth

Out of all the places we've traveled around the world, this is one of the most beautiful, peaceful, and majestic places we've been. The combination of my two favorite things, water and mountains, makes it hard to beat! Lake had pristine water and felt like we owned the place as the boat traffic was so light! House was wonderful - the baby monitor even reached to the dock so we could hang out by the water during nap time. Had a great time surprising our friends with a breakfast baby shower one of the mornings!! Wish we could live here permanently :)

Great time on the lake with a mountain view

This is a great property and has something to do no matter your age. If you can’t find a water toy to play with among the “fleet” you must not like the water! Great time with our family. Only drawbacks are the proximity to Franklin and the steep driveway but you know that going in and you work around it to be on an elevated lake (think cool) and an unobstructed Mountain View. It doesn’t get any better than that. Thanks Brad!

Super sunny dock and lovely home!

We had the best week at this lake house. The house is in great shape, very well equipped kitchen, spacious with lots of beds, tons of beautiful spaces and very clean. We LOVED the dock, sun filled for 12 hours a day - which is NOT the case with all of Lake Nantahala docks. Location is excellent. Decks have fantastic views! Included boat is a nice feature and worked well but basic. Be careful to wear shoes on the dock as our little ones got big splinters the first day before we learned. And if the bed layout is important ask owner for an update on floor plan as the posted floor plan for basement is not current. Highly recommend, we hope to return! Thank you for a wonderful week!

The description doesn't do it justice!

This place will go down as one of our best lake house vacations (we have been to many). From the spacious, fully equipped house to the "toys" - canoes, kayaks, water skis, boat, to the lake itself (crystal clear, peaceful, gorgeous), we loved everything about our visit. The house was plenty of space for 8 of us to spread out and the views of the lake each day were so magical. We parked our car upon arrival and didn't drive again until we left! We also enjoyed one night out at the Lake's End Marina restaurant which was delicious. Bradley could not have been more helpful answering many questions and giving tips and advice about the area. The house also had extensive guides about hikes and what to do. The lake itself is the prize - what a great secret! Well worth our long drive from Virginia. Thanks for a great week!

Fun July at Nantahala

No doubt this was one of our best VRBO's - the house was spacious and plenty of room for our family of 6. We loved the outside porches (ate every meal outside), the downstairs family/game room, fire pit, and the homes close proximity to the lake. We used Bradley's boat and since we were a big water ski enthusiast family, we rented a ski boat too. We spent every day on the water - skiing, wakeboarding, fishing, cliff jumping (yes the lake has a aprox 35'H cliff jump into the water), and the spending time at the small island with the rope swing. Also definitely recommend Lakes End Marina and Restaurant - great people and great food. We look forward to getting back to Nantahala next summer and would certainly recommend this rental. Bradley was easy to work with and very helpful throughout the process leading up to our stay and while we were there. One tip - the county is a dry county - load up on tasty beverages in Andrews or Franklin before coming to the lake.
