Holiday rentals with lake access in Nantahala Lake

We had a wonderful time at this lake house. Plenty of room for my family of five to spread out and relax and such a beautiful setting. The house had everything we needed to just relax and spend time there. The kitchen was very well stocked with equipment. My sons loved fishing in the lake and we all enjoyed sitting around to bonfire at night. It was wonderful. Next time we will stay for longer!

This was such a sweet stay and we wish we could have stayed longer! Beautiful location - my husband enjoyed fly fishing during the day on the water and I was only 20 minutes from kayaking at the NOC. The house was very clean - tidy bathroom and kitchen with all your basics stocked to get you started. Hot tub was lovely and very clean! There is a steeper drop off next to the outside firepit so I would be mindful with little children. Easy check in and they were very flexible and responsive when we had some crazy weather pop up nearby. We will be back again and hopefully stay a little longer!

This was our family's second stay at Blue Heron Haven and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The house is well-stocked, clean, comfortable, and the location is perfect. It's a great location for swimming on the lake. Becky answered all of our questions and is always helpful and responsive.

This is our second time staying here for new years and it was great as usual. It is very peaceful at this property. Very clean and perfect for our group size. We would stay again.

This is the kind of place AirBnb was made for. Such a homey space with unique style and personal touches. We enjoyed disconnecting and relaxing inside and out during our stay. The place was well kepted and well equipped for a laid-back long weekend. It was clearing kept clean and tidy but it did have a strong musty smell when we arrived. It mostly aired out after a day with the windows open, but I have to warn others as I know it can be a big issue for some. However, my husband, pups, and I wouldn't pass up the chance to stay again when we want to visit Lake Fontana.

An amazing Cabin style home uniquely furnished with art collection.. Very comfortable beds and plenty of room all around. Awesome big, round dining table...great for gatherings and games. Beautiful sunrises. Super well maintained. Our only challenge was ensuring the front door did not lock us out accidently...but its an amazingly beautiful stained glass double door. Kitchen is fully stocked with durable dishwares and all needed utensils. A very relaxing and inviting living room from which you can enjoy the beautiful outdoor scenery and mountain views.

If you want to enjoy the most beautiful mountain lake in North Carolina, and stay in the most beautiful house on the lake, you need look no further than this Airbnb. Lake Santeetlah’s shoreline is mostly undeveloped; the water temperature is perfect for swimming; and the views are spectacular. Alisha is a gracious host. She will answer any question you have within minutes, yet she does not impose on your visit. The house is spotless; it easily sleeps six adults (3 couples) and two children (bunk beds). It is well equipped and has a cozy, family atmosphere. Be aware that the driveway can be daunting at first, but follow Alisha’s instructions for entering and exiting, and you will have no problems with any size passenger vehicle.

The loft is beautiful and SO clean. We often have allergy issues with airbnbs but not this trip! So clean. Absolutely love being right on the river stream, too. So peaceful.

The place was beautiful and clean and all the my toddler and I needed. He loved steeping into the River outside the INN. We watched Blippi, handyman Hal and Katie’s Classroom inside the pub connected to where we stayed. Everyone was friendly and it’s bike friendly. We rode the 11mile Cades Cove loop on bike and we went to Tuckaleechee Caverns and it was truly a magical stay and media Teton for us.

Adorable efficiency suite . Great view of the lake and suitable areas to walk our dog. Very clean and quiet. Was an easy drive into Hiawassee.

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 place was perfect! Super comfy, especially the bed and super soft sheets! Loved the screened in porch view, being elevated, looking down at the lake, felt so naturesque and private!

Our second stay at Debi's beautiful b&b was great! We're grateful for her and her space, sharing the nature and peace with us. Can't wait to return for a third time :)

We enjoyed our 3-night stay. Good layout for a family of 3 or 4. Thank you for your availability to respond to questions and being a great host.

The Strawberry patch is the perfect location to stay and explore Cades Cove and the Smoky mountains. It was quiet and relaxing, away from all the craziness of Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge. It had everything we needed and close to a grocery store and gas station. Wish we had more time there. Next time we will bring the kids and stay longer so we can enjoy the river and backyard. We had a great stay!!

We spent Easter weekend here. As we drove in the wild azaleas and dogwoods were blooming, and everything afterwards was just as beautiful and peaceful. My teenagers loved kayaking and my daughter liked the pond so well she slept on the daybed on the porch. I appreciated the feather pillows and reverse osmosis water. Attention has been paid to every detail. I called my Nana to show her the antique desks. My small children enjoyed the toys and my middle son using the pully bucket on the porch. My daughter celebrated a birthday over our stay, more movie guests showed up than expected and I just couldn't turn these kids away. Our hosts were so kind. They of course charged a little extra as was clearly understood via the contract, they were very understanding and polite. The lock to the boat seems to be jamed, the downstairs fireplace is currently non operational, and I'm not sure I'll get back a thumb drive I forgot, but this family has worked hard to create really special place. Five star

Nice, clean, peaceful, private, relaxing, and as described, except for internet. I did log onto the house wifi. The wifi was not connected to the internet. I had less than one bar of cell service. There was a wired land line phone on the wall, which had no dial tone. There were many notes with help phone numbers, but no way to call. Because I was seeking a quiet retreat, I did not mind this.

This was one of the most magical places we have ever stayed. I can’t speak highly enough about this cottage and its surroundings. It was luxurious, spotless, and had everything we needed for a peaceful getaway. Close to town with great shops and restaurants, but also very private and serene. One of the best trips we have taken in a very long time. I can’t recommend this beautiful home enough.

This cozy, beautiful spot is a treasure! Kim was very attentive to details in creating a space that is welcoming and feels like home. The kitchen was well equipped, decor blends modern and mountain cottage. Plenty to entertain at the house or nearby. The description helped us know how to best plan our visit to the area and there were great tips and maps at the house too. Beautiful scenery and a great place to enjoy birds, fall foliage, hiking and much more. So thankful for a great getaway!

This was one heck of a gem to find!! We enjoyed our entire stay!! We will definitely be back as well as share this w other people to enjoy!!

Wonderful spot, loved the cabin andthe kayaks and private doc.

We had a great experience here! It was just the right place for our one night stay to go to a family wedding. Owner was very friendly and helpful!

Gorgeous all around. We all agreed it was one of the best Airbnbs we’ve stayed at. Views from the house and access to the water and the outdoor dining area were splendid.
