The house was very nice and comfortable. Pay attention to the cons from other reviews and to the honest description of the property and access. There are some real challenges there. We enjoyed our stay and the overall experience was great
Our family had a fantastic stay at this beautiful lakeside cabin in a gated community! The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable vacation. The kitchen was well-equipped, the beds were comfortable, and the location was perfect for exploring and enjoying the very beautiful and quiet lake. The host was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the booking process and our stay. We especially appreciated being able to include usage of the grill and more so the pontoon boat. We highly recommend this property and will definitely book it again!
We had an amazing time with family. The house had everything we needed for a baby and toddlers. Plenty of room for a large family. We also rented the pontoon boat and ventured out on the most beautiful lake! The cool water was enjoyed by the kids and well as most of us adults! Would recommend to any family for a good timed in the mountains!
We thoroughly enjoyed staying here. This is our third year vacationing on Nantahala Lake and have tried to stay in different placesâthis is one of our favorites!From playing in the jacuzzi to tubing on the lake, playing pool to foosball, and relaxing on the multi-level balconies and theater roomâit was all so much fun. We dubbed this place the Stairway to Heaven because we counted approximately 222 stairs from the top room to the boat dockâgreat workout and great fun!

Nice house, few issues
Overall the house is nice, we could not use the hot tub as it was dirty and when we turned it on, it was filled with a lot of foam and chlorine smell was unbearable. The key box is difficult to open. Taking out trash required us to drive 30 minutes one way!!! Otherwise they threatened to charge us for each trash bag. There are over 100 steep stairs to the lake, keep it in mind.
The lake setting is so beautiful it almost seems unreal. The house has such a great view, the dock is perfect for swimming and the boat was fun! Would definitely come again!
Owners were very easy to talk to. Property was amazing and the views of the lake were incredible. There are a lot of stairs so if older folks want to rent just be aware.
We had a great time kayaking (over 8 miles) and riding on the pontoon! My 3 boys, husband and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at your place. Thank you for sharing it with us!!
Great home with plenty of room. Great view overlooking the lake.
This was our first annual immediate family reunion. The house was beautiful with wood decor and a great view of the lake. It was roomy and slept 12 comfortably and is pet friendly! The only comment I would have is that the access to the dock needs work - you had to walk across a loose 2x6 to get from the steps the the dock.
We had a wonderful vacation at the Lakeside Lodge, and I can't say enough good things about the house. It is beautiful! It is very clean and well maintained. There are a lot of activities and restaurants nearby. We especially enjoyed renting a pontoon boat one day to take the children tubing. One day was spent river rafting, which was enjoyed by all of us. GREAT BEDS!!!
It was ok. The entire cabin needed a good cleaning. Walls and ceilings were very dusty.
Also none of the pathway lights worked. And the steps and walk way leadi f to the cabin were in very bad shape and was not easy to walk with babies and elderly people. We will not be staying there again.
This property is a great place right on the lake with amazing views, nice furnishings, all the kitchen essentials, great video room and best movie collection I have ever seen and nice game room. Being close to a public boat launch is great since the grandparents didn't have to navigate the 80 or so steps. My only concern was there could be a few more basics like extra plates salad bowls, spices and the steps could be fixed up ( section had missing handrail) and be extended to cover all areas of the walk down to the lake. Still, I'd come back.
Great time with our family at Lake Nantahala in this house big enough to fit our family reunion. 4 stories of space with game room & movie theater. Supplied with movies or bring your own. Pool, fuseball, fire pit, dock & boat! The only thing is you have to be in shape, in lake Nantahala, most homes have many steps to get from lake to house. This one was no exception but beautiful comfortable home !! I would come again for sure.
The house was wonderful for large group . There were many steps to the lake so if you have family members unable to make the journey this is not the place. Attention to the step area near the lake needs to be completed b/c it is slippery when wet. Beautiful home and wonderful lake. We rented the pontoon boat for several days and the process was very easy , Trevor dropped off the keys and picked them up in timely manner, very nice gentelman. We enjoyed our stay, thank-you for sharing your lovely home.
Beautiful, clean large lake home - great for families
This five bedroom beautiful mountain lake house was a perfect remote getaway for my family over the holidays. The scenery was spectacular. Haveing no internet or WiFi makes it a perfect time for families to play games and bond. The game room and movie room was great. We hiked the Appalachian Mountains, it was definitely a real hike with amazing scenery at the top.
I would definitely recommend this house to families who want to get away from it all and have a great mountain house experience.
The owners Donna and Gregg were very easy to deal with and made the adventure very pleasant. We would definitely go back.
This house is large with plenty of rooms for everyone. Theater room was great. Game room with pool table was fun. Kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to feed a group of 12. The beds were decently comfortable. The walk to the dock was just what we needed to work off all the good food. For the family members that couldn't walk down the stairs to the boat, we drove to the boat landing so no one missed out on 2 days of boating. The parking at the house was super easy compared to our last stay in the same neighborhood (could have fit 5 mid to large size vehicles). The house owners are very responsive and helpful.
The Lakeside Lodge is beautiful!! It was easy to find, clean, and well-maintained. We thoroughly enjoyed the theater, which was supplied with a wide variety of movies to watch. There were lots of steps, but they were not a problem for any us. This was our 5th summer vacation in the mountains of N.C., but our first time staying on a lake. The children thoroughly enjoyed swimming in the lake off your dock. We were so glad that you had plenty of life jackets for us to use. The owner was very helpful and responded to our questions quickly. I would (and already have) recommend this place to anyone to rent. Thanks for sharing your place with us.
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.
Our family greatly enjoyed our stay and had an amazing relaxing week at this house and Lake Nantahala. Our boys loved jumping and swimming off the dock and they also loved fishing off the dock. We rented a boat and enjoyed many rides and tubing on the lake throughout the week. The house is well stocked, it worked perfect for us to enjoy cooking breakfast every morning and dinners at the house also really enjoyed eating on the deck with a great view and watching the boats go by. There are stairs down to the lake and back as there are with most all houses on the lake, it was a great work out for the week for our family! It is a large lake house with space for all, so much to do there and so relaxing and peaceful at the same time. The owners were extremely responsive throughout booking and all. We all loved our week and our stay at this lake house and did not want to leave!
The cabin itself is wonderful, and the setting is incredibly beautiful! The cabin I s beautifully appointed, and feels like a slice of luxury in a very rustic location. The negative was that we didnât quite realize how remote the location was before arriving... no cell phone reception within 20 minute drive of the cabin. The only thing we needed when we were there that we didnât have was a working phone. The house line (ATT U-verse, I believe) would not connect and an email to the owner went unanswered. This did provide some difficulty during our trip, so I canât give a 5 star review. Aside from that, we enjoyed the hot tub, theater room, and game room as well as cooking larger family meals - including trout that our sons fished at a local trout farm. In all, it was a good setting for a relaxing vacation.
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 donât 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!
We arrived at the home during the early day time and were able to check in as instructed. The home had lost power do to a fire down the road but everything was back up and running quickly. We had a large family and the home was more than accommodating for all of us. 5 Bedrooms, plus the cinema room was much bigger than expected, full of many movies to watch on DVD. The game room was on the lowest level so you definitely need to be able to get up and down stairs well to get around. Hot tub was great, and we had a fire every night. Wifi is not great. Recommend bringing fire sticks or something else if you are a big TV person. The view was beautiful, our Christmas in the mountains was exactly what we expected, minus snow as it was just to warm. The trails around the property were amazing. The only down side was it was hard to see at night time as there was not much lighting and the staircase was very slippery. Highly Recommend.
The cabin is set on a gorgeous lake and has lots of amenities from a hot tub, a nice game room, theater room, and great decks for a nice view. The owner was great and quick to respond with any questions I had. Being so close to the public marina was a plus for bringing our own boats and floats to paddle from.
My only comment is that with a little maintenance and updating, it would be a 5 star cabin. The stairs leading down to the water are a bit precarious as many steps were missing the grip paper on them which caused them to be very slippery when wet. Many rooms were very dimly lit and would look much better with some brighter lighting and some were missing the remotes to adjust. Additionally, the DVD player in the theater room would discolor the picture and could stand to be replaced. We spent most of our time in the game room or outside though so that wasn't a big issue for us. Finally, some additional attention to cleaning of oft overlooked areas would be beneficial.
Overall though, this was a great cabin that 8 adults very much enjoyed.
