Photos Do Not Do Justice
The house is far bigger than expected and it was a nice surprise. I would recommend putting better photos to receive more bookings. The WiFi comments are all true. There is no cell phone reception within a 10 mile radius of house which is a little scary until you get connected to internet. Trash Drop off is 27 minutes away from house. Would be ideal to share the working hours of location before driving there. Other than that the house itself is perfect.

Lake Nantahala Family Trip
The house was very nice, but it was obvious it had not been stayed in recently. The kitchen was well equipped. The hot tub worked well. There was plenty of room for 8 adults and 3 young children and we all had a great stay. The area is beautiful and remote. Parking was creative with a van, suv, and 2 mid-size cars. A sign in the kitchen said that we had to supply our own internet. We left a message for a property owner. Donna promptly returned our call. She was extremely nice and helpful. We had found the password for the free wifi by then. We let Donna know that lightbulbs needed replaced, fireplaces were not working, and slats on the stairs to the dock needed replaced. She had the repairman come out promptly and most of it was fixed. We contacted the repairman directly during the week (per instructions) concerning a garbage disposal clog, but he never returned the call. We let Donna know about contacting the repairman, the propane living room fireplace never turning on, the garbage disposal, and a broken refrigerator bin when we left as someone else was arriving after us and figured she would want to have some of that fixed. We also let her know that the trash disposal place was closed on the day we left (Friday) as trash is not supposed to be left in the house. We cleaned the house and took our trash with us. It has been over a week since we left and I am still waiting for our pet and house deposit to be refunded.

Great Potential
The property has so much potential given the location and amazing lake views however a lot of TLC and maintenance needs to be done. The pictures listed do not accurately show the current status of the house which include large overgrowth of plants starting to impede on the stairway to the boat dock, a poorly functioning AC unit requiring window units in a few of the bedrooms, trash underneath the cabin and scattered around the fire pit area to name a few. Like another renter stated you don’t feel welcomed into the cabin for your time there, it would be nice if the host could make you feel more welcomed upon arrival. Again a lot of potential but a little elbow grease would go a long way!

Great Stay in this Lakefront Property
We stayed for a week and enjoyed spending time on the lake. Dock is spacious and equipped even with the rental boat there on the opposite side. Plenty of room for our 21' boat and close to the public ramp. Parked 3 cars and our boat trailer in the drive through parking area with no difficulty. House has great NC cabin decor and finishes which we love. Kitchen has everything you need to cook. Grill on the deck lights easy and cooks well. Kids loved the game and movie rooms. Weather was good so we spent most time outside. Bedrooms are spacious and beds are comfortable. Hot tub was nice after a day on the water. We took advantage of the NOC close by and went whitewater rafting and took the Great Smokey Mountain Train out of Bryson City for a ride on 2 different days. Only thing that gets you a little are the stairs to the dock, but we expected that and they are no worse than any other house there with these awesome views. Good workout frankly. Would definitely stay again.

Great stay in awesome house!
Weather would not cooperate so we were so glad there were a ton of things to do inside the house!! Rented the boat for an extra day and the lake could not be more beautiful!! Great neighborhood and a great place for the whole family. Highly recommend
