Top Nantahala Lake Hotel Reviews

Luxury Lakefront Cabin

10/10 Excellent

"A wonderful property to stay at. Even with lots of people there was lots of space for everyone to spread out and do the own the. The dock right off the back was perfect for cooling down in the afternoon"

Mountain Getaway w/ Stunning Lake Views - Hot Tub, firepit, pool table, hammock

8/10 Good

"The property was clean and quaint and, the host was quick to respond. To make the visit comfortable extra set of blankets pillows was provided. The only thinkg which made me give 4 star was the ac wasn't working it wasn't host's fault but it made us a little uncomfortable. But i definitely plan to rebook whenever i plan to visit again"

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful location and cabin."

Lake Nantahala smokey mountain Lakeside Lodge in Gated Community. Pontoon boat

10/10 Excellent

"Great house and property, definitely bigger than we thought it would be. House was clean and well stocked, and Greg was great to deal with, and was easy to communicate with on getting some problems with the boat renting app sorted out. Boat was also clean and ran perfect during our 2 day rental of it. There’s definitely ALOT of steps to the lake, and if it’s rained it can be a little slippery, but it’s a great view from the dock. If you have a lot of people, this house has the room for you, and for the able bodied crowd the boat and dock are well worth it."

Wow! Lake Nantahala Smoky Mountain Cabin with Boat Dock, Hot Tub & Firepit!

10/10 Excellent

"Had an amazing time. The house was great, hot tube was relaxing, dock and kayaks provided great access to the lake. We even rented a pontoon boat for the day from the marina."

Secluded, Modern Cabin, Views, Lake, Private Dock, Starlink Speed WIFI

8/10 Good

"We had a wonderful week-long stay at this property. The house itself was perfect for my growing family, providing plenty of space for everyone to relax comfortably. However, I want to advise future guests that the walk to the lake is not feasible, especially if you have small children. It is a 20-minute hike down, and the walk back up is extremely strenuous. I am an active 51-year-old who walks 3–4 miles regularly, and I still found the trek back up quite exhausting. We ended up driving to the dock instead, which was less than ideal when we had company over. Despite the accessibility to the lake, the house served our needs well and we enjoyed our time there."

Mountainview House - Luxurious Privacy Above the Clouds
