Great value - clean and nice and on the water. The boat ramp is just around the corner, and we could tie up the boat right at the house.

When we arrived and walked in, the place had not been cleaned after previous guests. we called and explained the situation. They were very apologetic and we were offered several alternatives, but with 2 dogs, options are limited. They had 3 cleaners there within 1/2 hour and quickly had it cleaned and ready. Bev checked back with us to make sure we were satisfied and offered a complimentary meal at the Lakes End Cafe and Grill. The food was amazing! The outside property could be cleaned up a bit - dock a kayaks could use a power wash- the view on the lake is beautiful! we would recommend this property to others and if we are ever in the area again , would use it again. Thanks.

Great Family Vacation Home

This family-friendly property was a great affordable option for our family of 4 that could easily fit 3-4 more guests. The remote location might mean low cell reception, but also offers amazing views from large windows on both floors.

Oasis

My family and 2 dogs stayed here, and it was simply heaven. We spent all days on the water, as it was just a walk away from the dock. The fishing was incredible, and we did not want to leave! We will definitely return!

Property is beautiful. I wanted to let others know there is no yard and the parking is 2 cars only, stacked one infront of the other (not side by side). Also, do not try to look for this place or any other place in this area at night. There is no cell phone reception so make sure to screenshot directions 30 mins out. This place is 2 level. The 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath are upstairs and the kitchen and access to back area is downstairs. The stairs are steep and is not safe for a toddler. I had my 20 month old grandson and the house is not baby proof. We did enjoy our stay and it had everything you could possibly need. It’s just not safe for littles. The fishing deck was not attached to the land and the stone stairs outside are steep. Just a heads up. Again, it’s great for teenagers and adults.

Hi, We are happy you enjoyed your stay and thank you for the feedback. The parking allows for up to 3 vehicles to park without blocking the the driveway. Cars do indeed need to be "stacked", so shuffling vehicles may be required. We have added parking instructions to the welcome information. Yes, there is no mobile phone coverage in the Nantahala area, and it is a good idea to download your map data before heading up. With that said, we have added detailed driving instructions to our welcome information. We do indeed have stairs, and while we have had generations of little ones up there, it is true that children (and older people) have to be extra careful. We will be purchasing a child gate for the top of the stairs and add them to the crib we provide for guests. Regarding the dock, unfortunately Duke Power raises and lowers the lake periodically and, while this doesn't happen often because we monitor the dock, sometimes it does get hung up on the bank. Our apologies for any inconvenience. Thank you for your feedback and we hope to have you up again!

Great lakefront cabin

LaRue's cabin is just what we wanted for our lakefront stay. The lower level provides easy lake access and a nice clay tile floor, which is just what we and our wet dogs needed. The well-stocked kitchen was especially appreciated. LaRue is a very helpful host. Unfortunately, we had to cut our stay short, but we are looking forward to returning soon!

It was perfect.

We really enjoyed our stay. The view from the dock (morning sunrises!), time on the lake, games and daily outings. We enjoyed the lake house as well. It isn't fancy but its homey and clean and actually reminded us of people we love (grand parents). No wifi was fine with us! Step back in time, forcing us to unwind. The kids had a blast too.

Can't wait to come back

The house was perfect for our group. The kitchen had EVERYTHING and was so organized. The big windows of the lake were breathtaking. The staircase to the dock was beautiful and the dock and the lake were so much fun for swimming and playing in the lake. The house itself feels like a true homeplace and I can only imagine the memories that have been made. We felt so lucky to detach from screens and unwind. Thank you!

Great location for our event. Great communication with the owner. Very out dated furniture and rugs. Place had a very strong musty/moldy smell that caused us all to be stuffy and sneezing frequently. I would not choose to stay here again.

Step back in time

We all loved our stay. We had 4 “kids” in their 20’s plus my hubby and dogs. My daughter said it was like being in the movie cheaper by the dozen. The lake is beautiful, and the house was extremely well equipped. It is definitely no frills, like staying in your grandma’s lake house, but that is the charm. One suggestion is to pre print all the maps you will need to get to hikes, recreation, and your trip home. Not having google maps was the hardest part of unplugging for me!

Thank you Lauren. So glad you enjoyed your time in “heaven”. We try to make your stay comfortable, but also think “ unplugging” is a good experience for the modern generation. Nature is a fine healer and able to restore our spirit. Come again anytime! LaRue

Classic Lake House

Wonderful stay! Great dock for swimming and has a nice canoe. Kitchen has everything you need. It's a well loved and cared for family cabin. Clean. You may say dated, I say Classic. Cooking dinner with the family while dancing to 70's dance party CDs 1 AND 2!! That's Classic. Owner is great with good communication. Wifi worked for us and it has a land line. Do yourself a favor and put your cell phone away, you're at the lake now! Will definitely return!!

Great family place

Our family of four stayed at this lovely cabin and had a wonderful trip. We went to spend time together as a family, as we don’t see each other as often anymore, and we had a great time on the peaceful lake or looking out at the view. Though wifi would have been nice, we all agreed that we didn’t really miss having Wi-Fi or television while we stayed there. Everything we needed was found at the house, there were plenty of games, VHS tapes and DVDs, kitchen utensils, bathroom appliances, etc. If you plan to watch a lot of movies, you may want to bring some DVDs of your own, but we only watched a movie one night because we spent most of our time outdoor. The lake view is so beautiful and calming, there’s no better place to relax and spend time with family. We would go back again!
