Thanks for stopping by! Maybe this is what you're looking for: an cozy place for your small family to escape the heat and enjoy a pristine mountain lake, a quiet and beautiful couple's Fall getaway, a place to fish, swim, explore. You've found us!

Our cottage is not fancy or huge. It's cozy, clean and right on Lake Nantahala, one of the highest and cleanest lakes in the Eastern U.S. We bought the cottage years ago as a perfect escape from the busyness of Atlanta. Now we want to share it with you.

We have no pool tables or hot tubs or game rooms. We DO have a great private dock, books, dvd's, and a place to simply unwind without all the usual distractions of home. Swim from our private dock. (Bring your snorkle gear ... i usually see fish when I snorkle around our dock ... the water is crystal clear) Bring your boat (ramp is 2 minutes away) or rent one from Lakes End Marina (or use our canoe and kayaks.) Kids love our dock, the many streams to wade in, and places to hike and explore (we're practically surrounded by the Nantahala National Forest). Parents love the quiet setting, our collection of books and movies, and the fact that your cell phone or your digital devices won't work up here! Your kids (and you, if you're so tempted!) will be device free at Grace Cottage. There are great restaurants 20-45 minutes by car (or ride your boat across the water to Lake's End Grill), a Super Walmart in Murphy (35 minutes away) for supplies, hiking trails all around (the Appalachian Trail is 20 minutes away), whitewater rafting close by, and lots of places to wander. There's a casino nearby, if. you're into that sort of thing. We are not Disney World. We are quite pleased to be 'all natural'.

    Curt was a very attentive host and provided nice information about nearby eats and hikes. A kitchen spruce-up could boost the cleanliness feel—shelf liner could go a long way in the cabinets and pantry! There is no WiFi-cell service which is noted. Lots of books on site and a really fun DVD collection available. We ventured out during the day and made sure to be back before dark to enjoy dinner and a double feature. Rounding out the adventure—a landline! Loved being disconnected but appreciated the landline for the teen and dogs we left home. The lake was very quiet this time of year.

    We love Grace Cottage and have stayed here many times. We had a great time swimming and fishing from the dock., caught some nice bluegill and bass. It's a quiet area as ever and time always slows down when we get there. Superb DVD collection with cabin classics like 'a river runs through it', Patch Adams and basically all the Studio Ghibli movies too. Long live Grace Cottage!! We'll be back.

    This cabin makes for a perfect retreat to lovely Lake Nantahala! It’s a well-loved place and no frills but had everything you need. Highlights include close proximity to the lake with a great little dock (perfect for hanging out), the very comfy beds, lake view from the deck, and the excellent water pressure in the shower. Very quiet neighborhood and lake. Curt was very nice and called to check in. The furniture and dishes could use updating but we also appreciate that it’s a pet friendly place. The skates down to the lake are very steep and can be slick during and after rain so this wouldn’t be the ideal spot for folks with mobility issues or young kids. It wasn’t an issue for us but important to note. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here!

    We had a great time at the cottage! The private dock was perfect for swimming and just hanging out at the lake. The cottage itself is as advertised and off the grid so to speak. It was nice to not have the phones distracting us from our vacation.

    We had a lovely time at this lakeside cabin for a short honeymoon. A perfect getaway spot. The water was clean and cool, and the back porch was a perfect place to enjoy mornings and evenings. The cabin is clean and well cared for. We hope to come back again in the future.

    Overall stay was good, but there were some things that could have been better described in the listing. The parking was very tight for two SUV’s, no cable (but a remote with cable cords in tv), the cottage could have been a.little cleaner around the outside. Overall we had a nice time, and the bed was very comfortable.

    The cabin is situated on a beautiful section of the lake. We enjoyed the views and the quiet. Unfortunately my wife has recently had knee surgery so she was unable to walk down the stairs to the dock. We should have checked prior to us going. Curt is a wonderful host and we appreciate his hospitality. I highly recommend this cabin for a quiet and relaxing weekend.

    We enjoyed our time at this little piece of paradise on the mountain lake. From sitting on the porch staring at the lake, taking a paddle out in the canoe, or grilling some dinner on the porch....relaxation was easy here and it was nice to get away from the hectic city life. We appreciate it Curt and hope to be back in the future! hectic life of the city

    Cottage is very cute and is the right size for a couple or maybe even two couples or a couple with small children. Absolutely loved the lake. It is so gorgeous. Yes, the steps down to the water are challenging. It’s the mountains. You have to accept that. Had a fantastic time swimming, paddle boarding, and relaxing by the water. Also, really enjoyed the porch on the back of the house, especially sitting out there when it was raining or storming. It was pretty dusty, but it’s a rustic cabin, not an Embassy suites.

    We so thoroughly loved this cabin! We swam in the lake, paddled to an island and jumped from a rope swing, hiked nearby trails, and enjoyed wildlife on the property in the early morning (a mama deer and two babies, rabbits, and lots of birds and butterflies!). The bed was comfortable, the amenaties were lovely, and you couldnt beat the access to the lake. Overall, a fantastic stay and we only wish we could have stayed longer!

    The house was remodeled and the bed was very comfortable. The stairs to lake was quite overwhelming but great dock when you get there. Had all that we needed, the owner has great artist on display. Loved our stay.

    A beautiful property on the mountain side. Perfect place for family of four and a dog. Enjoyed spending time on the porch, dock and lake. Curt made it easy to find places without using Wii fii. The nights were warm so needed fans and AC. The AC units were not cooling enough. Figuring out how to turnaround our large parked car was a challenge but cautiously learned. Overall a wonderful relaxing vacation!

    We had a great stay at Grace Cottage. The owner, Curt gave us great directions, instructions for the house and suggestions for our trip. The home was comfortable for our family of four and two dogs. It had everything we needed for our long weekend and we would definitely come back. Thanks!
