Lake Nantahala smokey mountain Lakeside Lodge in Gated Community. Pontoon boat

ABSOLUTELY LOVED! we had the best stay! Overall such a great space to enjoy yourself and family/ friends all together!

Our visit was quite and peacefull celebrating our Anniversary going to Highlands to visit waterfalls and antiquing , then bryson city to hit the shops that were lit up for christmas , the cabin was clean and cozy cant wait to come back with all the family, thank you for the memories

Beautiful house…over all it was enjoyable. A couple of notes - The lake was down quite a bit. The hot tub was damaged, and the stairs down to the water were fairly sketchy… the pontoon boat took a good bit of parking area. Lighting to the door could be SIGNIFICANTLY improved, and the steps leading to the deck/door (only way into the house) were very treacherous and slippery - some steps even rotted away entirely

House was much bigger than the pictures showed on the listing. Lots of steps inside and out but overall a great place for a big group. The downstairs master bedroom was absolutely beautiful with a great view of the lake and a balcony. Recommend for anyone who doesn’t have mobility issues. Loved it !

What a beautiful cozy place to stay on Lake Nantahala!! Absolutely stunning views!! We had the best time!! This cabin has everything you need!! Spacious and clean!!! We will definitely be going back!!!

The views are absolutely breathtaking! It's our home away from home. We love this cabin. We've been coming for our annual girls trip for the past 5 years. We all agree, we'll never book another location/cabin!

We had the most amazing stay at this cabin in Topton, NC. The place is spotless, cozy, had high speed internet and perfectly tucked away in the mountains — the ideal spot to relax and unwind. The views are absolutely breathtaking, especially at sunrise and sunset. The cabin had everything I needed, from a fully equipped kitchen to super comfortable beds and a peaceful porch to enjoy my morning coffee.Whether you’re looking to hike, fish, or just enjoy some quiet time in nature, this is the perfect spot. I can’t recommend it enough and can’t wait to come back!

Our week at this beautiful home on Nantahala Lake was everything we hoped for and more! The house was very clean and welcoming. Balconies looking out over the lake, tall trees & mountains. We loved waking up to the cool mountain air and ending our days in the hot tub watching the sun set over the water. Plenty of private space, it was so fun exploring all of the floors and property. There was plenty of room for everyone, with two master bedrooms, 3 other bedrooms, a cozy loft, and a huge game room downstairs. A movie theater room that quickly became our favorite hangout spot. The private dock was perfect for fishing, swimming, or just sitting quietly and taking in the view.Coming from Florida, seeing the fall colors in October was absolutely breathtaking. It was one of those trips that left us feeling refreshed, grateful, and already planning our next visit back.We can’t recommend this place enough!

Great space for a large group. Beautiful area, plenty to do at the cabin.

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!

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.

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 places—this 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 room—it 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 dock—great workout and great fun!

We loved this place. This large mountain house that overlooks a gorgeous lake is wonderful. The lake is low this time of year but it still didn’t deter the beauty of the lake surrounded by mountains. We loved everything about this house. The game room was great to hang out and play games on the pool table and foosball. We used the pontoon boat to ride around and just enjoy the surroundings. Highly recommend. It does cost extra but I feel it’s worth it. Just be prepared for a lot of steps in the house and outside but it is on a side of a mountain and the house is massive so we felt we got our exercise in. lol. The owner Greg and caretaker were very nice and always answered our questions in a timely matter. Thanks again for a wonderful stay.

Starting at the bottom floor - 1st floor - game room & half bath 2nd floor - master bedroom, theater, laundry room & half bath 3rd floor - Living, dining, kitchen, full bath & 3 bedrooms (This level has the front door). 4th floor - 2nd master bedroom & small landing Pros: -Comes with a pontoon boat that you can rent (small motor). -Great communication w/ owner. -Pool table & hot tub. -Ample parking compared to the neighbors. -Plenty of kitchen gadgets & cookware. -Grill stocked w/ propane. -Water at dock is deep and easy to swim in. -Beautiful setting. Cons: -140+ stairs 1-way to the dock. -Stairs to the water are fairly old and very slippery (We had 1 person and a dog fall on them). -One section of the descent to the lake doesn't even have stairs, just a mud/root area. -1 lane gravel road getting to the house. -Rentable pontoon boat doesn't leave the dock if you don't rent it. (We rented a jet skis and a pontoon with larger motor from the marina and it was a pain to dock all of it with the other pontoon there). -Lots of check out rules. -Small kitchen considering size of house -Dealing w/ the trash is AWFUL. (Instructions said trash drop off was open on certain days but those days were wrong, & pretty difficult to find - you'll be surprised how much trash you make in a week....). -Simple things like toilet paper & dish soap are NOT provided. -Wifi password was on a scrap of paper shoved in a box with random stuff. -Internet is pretty bad. -Only 1 TV would work.

The owners were amazing to work with, great location on the lake. The home was much larger than expected and the game room was excellent.

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.
