    We arrived at the cottage around 5:00pm on the 18th. Honestly the house and property were even more than I expected. Everything you need to know is in the, well written welcome package. Only, you have to read it. lol!I made that mistake but the owner Tony couldn’t have been more understanding. He is assessable beyond what I would consider normal. With immediate answers to any questions. Besides that, the beauty of the cottage, along with the exceptionally clean interior and outside areas, then add in the beauty of the lake, then everything there that is available for you to enjoy…it’s above and beyond! I could go on but I’ll stop. Don’t miss this Emerald Cove if you are planning a stay in this area. (Did I mention the huge two car garage)?…

    My wife and I had a lovely week with our school-age children and my parents. We swam off the dock, paddled kayaks, and rented a pontoon from a local marina. We also enjoyed hiking at the nearby Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest and rafting the Nanthahala River with guides from the Nanthahala Outdoor Center near Bryson City.

    This property was the perfect place for our young family. The house was very clean with everything you need for a long weekend. It truly felt like you were staying at someone’s house instead of a commercial rental. Great views and close to boat rental.

    Tony was a great host! He was friendly and answered questions very quickly. The house was really nice and we were very comfortable. The view of the lake was absolutely beautiful and we loved having the covered deck and use of the dock and kayaks.

    We just returned home after spending 6 wonderful days at Tony's home. It feels like a home and not a vacation rental. The kitchen is well-stocked, the beds are comfortable, plenty of places for everyone to hang out and still have some space to themselves. We loved that there were kayaks and a paddleboard, along with lake toys and beach towels. They have really thought of everything to make your stay amazing. I'm going to miss the view from the upstairs deck in the morning. There's lots to do in the area in terms of hikes or daytrips. Tony was very responsive and a great host. Do yourself a favor and book a stay. You won't regret it.

    We had a great time at this cottage! The house was stocked with lots of games, puzzles, DVDs and fun things for the lake. We loved all the kayaks and paddle board. The kitchen had everything you needed to cook and bake. We especially loved that there were two mini fridges for extra cold storage. The split floorplan was perfect for our group -- my husband, two kids and I stayed on the bottom floor while the other 4 adults took the upstairs rooms. That was great for keeping the kids from waking everyone in the morning since we had a mini fridge, TV and our own bathroom down there. Our favorite spot, though, was the upstairs back porch with views of Lake Santeetlah! We were sad to leave!

    Tony was a wonderful host, and quick to answer any questions or problems we had. The property was perfectly located on the lack and a close drive to additional fishing, and hiking. Beautiful views each morning and evening from the porch!!

    If you are wondering if this is a good place to book…allow us to answer: YES! From the moment you walk in you will feel at home away from home…only better because of the beautiful lake. The house is perfectly furnished…beautiful decks and a perfect place to swim, kayak, and fish off the dock. The owners are great to communicate with and you can sense the house is loved. Stop searching and book it!
