Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Nantahala Lake

Robins place is spectacular! Everything was squeaky clean and very comfortable. To say Robin(and her husband) are on top of making everything perfect is putting it mildly. Day one we contacted her about a broken chair on the covered porch, day3, her husband brought a whole different table and chairs! Robin was very responsive in all questions that I've had. Definitely book this house! You'll love every inch of it! We'll DEFINITELY be back. Thanks Robin (and Trace)!

Very private location. Peaceful getaway. Not so far from town that running to the grocery is a chore, nor too far from great hikes. Our medium sized dog enjoyed the fenced in yard and we all sunbathed on the deck. Will stay again!

The perfect place to recharge and relax! Beautiful and cozy home with everything you need! So many special touches that we greatly appreciated. We enjoyed the back patio and also making cozy fires in the evenings! We want to come back and stay longer next time!

Absolutely perfect. We stayed for the week with our five kids (6,4,3, & 1 year old twins) and had an amazing family vacation. The space worked perfectly for our needs as a large family with small kids and the beach area was especially perfect for toddler playtime. The waterfall across the way was stunning and we loved boating around, fishing, swimming, fires by the lake, and rainy evenings in the hot tub. Such an amazing place for families!

Heather’s place was perfect. It was just outside of town, but the atmosphere felt very private. We really enjoyed easy access to the creek and morning coffee in the outdoor seating area overlooking the creek. Very easy walking to downtown.

We had the best weekend at the cottage. Easy, quick drive to downtown highlands. Some highlights - The pizza oven was great for making pizzas, grill was fantastic for grilling steaks, fire pit for s’mores and the Hot tub was used several times. The kids loved the bunk room. The house was beautifully decorated and we felt right at home. We hope to be back soon!

We enjoyed a relaxing 3 night stay in Bobby and Dina’s beautiful, river house and they were the perfect hosts! They were very responsive to questions and even offered area suggestions including a wonderful local butcher, for our BBQ night on the deck, listening to the peaceful sounds of the river. This home had everything we needed to prepare meals, very clean and tastefully decorated. We highly recommend this home for your trip to the Murphy area and would love to return when we have more time to fish & kayak!

We loved our stay at this lakefront gem. The house is exactly as described and gorgeous. The view from the back porch is amazing. Wendy is a wonderful host and her home is well stocked and very clean! I would recommend this home and we will stay again.

would stay here again ! lovely location and nice place inside and out

This cute little downstairs apartment was perfect for our anniversary trip! It’s a great space for two people to relax and enjoy each other’s company. We spent our mornings on the porch swing drinking coffee and at night would head into town to eat at the recommended restaurants. The place was cute, homey, and had amazing views of the mountains!

The resort is lovely! It’s a nice get away. Just keep in mind cell service is limited in this area! It’s beautiful. 😍

This is at least my 3rd time visiting David's place. Amazingly peaceful, comfortable, restful spot. I knew I would get the peace I needed. You would never know they are upstairs, unless you wanted to chat. This is a mountainside gem.

What a great place to stay in Bryson City. MooseLodge was an exceptional place and our family loved staying there for three nights in June. The kids were sad to go! Sean has made sure that the place has so many thoughtful things left in it, and the bathroom is like a spa experience with included sauna. The place is just outside the main town, but only a 2-3 min drive away; lovely and quiet. It's also very close to DeepCreek which is super for hiking and tubing down the river.

The nest is in a gorgeous location with conveniently close proximity to both nature adventures and in town perks. I'd recommend the stay to anyone! Especially solo travelers/couples/or besties. Mary was a gem of a host ✨️

You feel right at home when you walk in the door. It’s a beautiful and peaceful location and within driving distance to popular cities in TN, NC and GA. My kids loved the board games and finding all of the wonderful toys. The view from the hot tub was magnificent. Even though they are a pet friendly location, they keep this space spotless. There were no pet odors and all of the furniture and beds were free of pet hair. We can’t wait to go back to this location again!!

Rock's place was just as described, a nice little hideaway with a view of the lake. The property was private and cozy. Rock was quick to respond to questions and communicated well both before and during our stay.

They didn’t miss a single detail in this gorgeous mountain home. Cooking, the jacuzzi, sitting for hours on the patio watching the storms roll across the mountain tops, sleeping on a comfy bed, playing board games, watching movies, everything was wonderful! It’s a great location that’s easy to get to Townsend, and it’s super close to some of my favorite areas in the Smoky Mountains. Well done Karly and Joe!

We searched for a cabin for a long time, and in the end got tired of all the options and just picked this one. From the moment we entered we know we had made a great choice and we ended up booking an extra night. The cabin is supercosy and well organized, the view is amazing. There is one cabin at like 60 meters away or something but when you look out on your deck you feel like you're all alone in the world and it's a wonderful feeling. I can 100% recommend staying here.

Staying at Lee’s cabin was an absolute dream. Perched atop a mountain with wide open views in every direction, the setting was peaceful and awe-inspiring. The home itself is a gorgeous 70’s modern build, full of character with striking angles, massive windows, and natural light pouring in from every side. It’s the perfect blend of style, comfort, and immersion in nature. Lots of stone, glass, and wood. Lee was a fantastic host—communication was clear, check-in was seamless, and everything about the experience felt easy and welcoming. I found myself wishing I could extend my stay, but I knew snagging more time at a place like this wouldn’t be easy! Truly one of the most memorable stays I’ve had. No complaints at all—just gratitude. I’d come back in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!

Heather’s place was a little slice of heaven! If you are looking for peace, beauty, and still close to town this is perfect! I felt like I could stay there forever!! It was the perfect place to relax after an AT section hike! Highly recommended!!

We had a great stay at Michael's place! It is remote and private but an easy drive to several cute towns including Highlands. We had everything we needed to stay in for dinner with great views. Would recommend!

Me and my husband searched for the perfect romantic getaway for our late honeymoon/ 1 year anniversary. When we came across Knotty But Nice we were sold! The view was immaculate, pictures do not do justice. The house was extremely clean and cozy. The hot tub was clean and so relaxing. Overall peaceful and private! The drive up was pretty scary the first time, I’m definitely glad that we had an SUV! But 10/10 recommend! We are already planning another trip in the fall. Thanks Dana & Trish! 😊

The house was beautiful. Exactly as described. Jen and Jason were super helpful and accommodating. Due to a storm there was a loss of power and Jen and Jason were helpful about what to do and how to remedy the situation.

What a wonderful place. The view is just as described. It’s beautiful. The place is very private and neat as a pin. Very clean. For sure one of the cleanest places we’ve booked. There’s a small ice cream shop at the end of the road that was great. Very friendly. The road is somewhat steep just as described but easily doable in our SUV. I would highly recommend a stay here. We do enjoy this area because it’s not as highly commercialized as it is on the other side of Smoky Mountain National Park and the views are way more spectacular. I would give this place 10/10 for sure.
