Romantic Lake Retreat- On beautiful, clear Lake Nantahala

Description

Come to this beautiful, romantic mountain retreat right on crystal clear Nanatahala Lake. You will find yourself high in the treetops, watching the pines swaying in the wind, the Sourwood leaves turning red, and the lake below sparkling with sun. In winter, the mountain tops across the lake will shimmer with frost.  
 
This is a perfect romantic get-a-way. Wake in the morning to the sun coming over the mountains shining across the lake. In fall, reds and yellows against the dark green on the mountainsides or right outside the window engulf you with the wonder of fall.  In summer, be engulfed by Appalachian lushness. And take a short drive to take a short or long hike on the beautiful Appalachian Trail (including a scenic fire tower look-out). Sometimes the Smokey Mountain mist creates shining wonders before your eyes. Cook your favorite gourmet meals in our kitchen in full view of the lake. Basking in the dappled sun on the deck is always wonderful.  
 
At  night,  build a fire and sink into comfort with a glass of wine or your favorite tea while moonlight plays on the mountains across the lake. Try some candlelight while soaking in our large comfortable oval tub. Or relax in our cozy private spa on the lower deck and watch the stars.  
 
Take a swim in the clear waters below. Use our canoe or two kayaks or launch your own boat nearby and tie up at our dock. Spend evenings on the dock, gazing at the stars in the clear mountain air. Feel the gratitude of just being alive.
 
Stroll down our scenic, peaceful neighborhood lane, take a loop hike through the woods on primative roads or take the nearby hikes on the Appalachian Trail to a great look-out or Wayha, Wesser or Siler Balds. Watch the birds, try  your luck in the nearby award-winning  trout stream or look for rare fresh water salmon across the lake  or just fish right off the dock. Explore one of the many bike routes or visit the famous Nantahala Outdoor Center for rafting, kayaking, biking and delicious food. 
 
Smokey Mountain National Park invites you just an hour away, or you can visit the famous Biltmore House in Asheville. Take a scenic ride on the historic railway or try panning for gems. Do you like music?  Vist Dolly Partan's village or attend free Friday night concerts at John Campbell Folk School, or the great bands playing  riverside at NOC. On the other hand, just sitting on the deck in the tree tops gazing at the lake might be just the peace and solitude you need.
 
Come treat yourself and let us welcome you to our home. We think there is no place more beautiful! We hope you will agree.
 
In winter the boats can still be used from the beach and sun shines brightly through the leafless trees and reflects up from the lake through the many windows. At night build a warm fire or just enjoy games with family.  Outside, all is quiet.

Wonderful getaway


We had a perfect stay at the lake house. The pictures don\'t do it justice! There is a gorgeous view of the lake and trees from every room. It feels like a giant tree house. The dock and lake were beautiful, and we really enjoyed the canoe and kayaks. We visited mid-August, and the temperature was perfect, even though it was sweltering back in Atlanta. The lake water is cool and clear, and the dock is perfect for swimming and stargazing. We plan to return!

Amazing vacation home


We had an incredible time, the house is clean and beautiful. There\'s a great dick and we swam so much and used the kayaks. Everything from checking in to checking out was so smooth and the hosts responded promptly and were so kind and accommodating. We kept saying how excited we are to return!!

Relaxing and enjoyable stay at this mountain paradise


Fantastic getaway at this beautiful mountain retreat. We were lucky to have good weather and start to see the leaves changing and temp dropping which made the fireplace and hot tub even more enjoyable. The kitchen was well stocked and made meal prepping and cooking easy. The beds were very comfortable and we were very happy to have found this amazing house. Would highly recommend it and would love to stay again in the future!

A perfect mountain getaway!


We stayed here for a long weekend, having not been to this area in a long time. The house was perfect-simple, well stocked and oh so comfortable. The hot tub under the full moon was divine! We enjoyed roaring fires, kayaking on the lake, and just soaked up all of the beauty of this home. The lake was pristine, so clear and quiet, totally secluded. We felt like we had the whole area to ourselves. I would highly recommend this lovely home if you are looking for a simple place to stay that is affordable, yet has tons of amenities.

Great location, great house!


Great house! Right on Nantahala Lake. Very private, quiet area. We were right between Andrews and Franklin and was able to go into town and enjoy the local breweries and food. The house is great! We spent time at night looking up at the stars right from the dock!! It was so peaceful. The home itself was great! The kitchen is FULLY stocked with any equipment you could need. Lots of extra pillows and blankets. Even a pool table and table tennis! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and have already shared a link to the property to several of our friends.

A wonderful weekend away!


This home was a prefect fall getaway for my group of friends! It was spacious and had everything we needed from the kitchen to the boat dock. We enjoyed the breathtaking views, hot tub, TV, and kayaks. The property manager and owners were a pleasure to work! We will definitely return and would like to try another visit in the summer season!
