Adventure seekers will find Catatoga a gateway to a plethora of outdoor activities, from swimming and tennis to exploring waterfalls and hiking nature trails. Anglers can look forward to fishing for trophy trout in Indian Creek's pristine waters. Although Catatoga is distinct from Lake Toxaway, boasting its own private 12-acre lake where only non-gas-powered boats are permitted, guests can enjoy the use of community-provided canoe, kayaks, paddleboards, and life jackets, or bring their own non-gas-powered vessels.
Access to the community clubhouse, with its four Har-Tru tennis courts and Olympic-sized swimming pool, adds another layer of luxury to your stay, though availability may vary due to maintenance or private events. The pool welcomes guests from Memorial Day through Labor Day, enriching your summer experience.

the house was perfect for a large group?plenty of bedrooms and baths and we loved the lake
We enjoyed staying at the Lodge. We had a wonderful time with our children, grandchildren and family. The house is spacious and great for entertaining. The children enjoyed making smores. We hiked to a waterfall. The clubhouse and swimming pool is beautiful. If you have any questions the property manager Jim is helpful.
Great family trip. No agenda. Just relaxing on the lake. Fantastic trout fishing in stream feeding lake. Great memories with the kids. Love the area!
The property was very nice and clean. With tons of space. Booking process was super easy and the property manager was easy to reach. The property is definitely away from the city so do all your Walmart runs prior to arriving. There is a Dollar General and a very good Mexican restaurant about 2miles or less away ! Overall loved the place and would recommend it to others
Beautiful scenery. Great location. Perfect for large group of adults to gather.
The house is ideal for a family gathering. It had everything we needed, was clean and comfortable and designed to allow our large group to move around comfortably. We stayed during the winter holiday season and that might account for the fact that there was a mouse living in one of the downstairs walls, and there were no amenities available. I would suggest that it is better for warm weather rental if you want the amenities.
Great fireplace, views of the lake.
A well equipped home than can handle 12 quests comfortably. Beautiful setting.
Nice property Beds too high for 1/2 our group Windows and doors need washed. Dining chandelier and wall decorations need dusted. 6 and 2- 1/2 bathrooms were all clean . Kitchen equipped with lots of dishes and pans.
It was a beautiful location. Very relaxing. A great house for a large group.
Communication prior to check in was fantastic. April was quick to answer any questions I had. Jim was easy to reach to get our last-minute check in instructions. None of this could have been any easier. Then WOW! From the moment we stepped in this beautiful lodge we were captivated by all the beauty around us! As my sister stated, “nobody loses with this cabin”. Six well appointed bedrooms all with their own bathrooms, throw in another couple of ½ baths for good measure. A living space on each of the 3 levels was icing on the cake! The house was beautiful decorated, well maintained and clean. The beds were comfortable and the towels provided were nice quality. We had large family meals each night around the table and the kitchen sitting areas. Memories to last for a long time. Coffee in the morning next to the fire on the lower level in the big lounge chairs was a wonderful way to get ready for a local hike. The VIEW couldn’t get much better. It felt like we had the entire lake to ourselves. The family enjoyed kayaking, using the paddle boards as well as fishing in the lake. In the evening we ventured down to the firepit to enjoy the beauty of the moonlight along the lake along with laughs. Our family meets each fall in the mountains for a getaway. We chose different locations in the Southeastern US. It is going to be hard for me to find another location and cabin that will even come close to this wonderful Lakeside Lodge.
We had a great time at the beautiful Lodge at Catatoga, celebrating a recent family marriage. The Lodge was larger than our needs, but on the other hand, we had plenty of space to spread out and relax. Even at full capacity, the house has ample comfortable lounging areas on every level, indoors and out. The house is secluded and it provided exceptional peace and quiet tranquillity that we all enjoyed. The lower level covered porch with fireplace was a favorite place to enjoy the view with morning coffee, afternoon rain showers and cocktails, or evening fires. We very much enjoyed Catatoga Lake for fishing, SUP and kayaking, hanging out on the dock, and walking the private trails. We also took advantage of the pool, and the hot tub (?), as well as the pool table inside the clubhouse. The proximity to Lake Glenville was convenient for fishing and pontoon boat outings, and we took a day trip to Highlands. All in all, we loved our time together and the Lodge provided a great space for us to gather.
We were so excited about our trip to Lake Toxaway. The Lodge property was, at one time, no doubt a beautiful place. But due to poor cleaning upkeep and maintenance, it is a shame. The property manager is quite gnarly and no help. He acts as if you are a bother. Day one my daughter was in bed and looked on the bedside table and there was a mouse. We called and told Jim and he acted as if it was no big deal and had a old mouse trap dropped off at the front door. No knock or communication -just a mouse trap laying on the porch. I had called to ask about what in the world - he said what do you want me to do - over and over the same thing. As if the problem was mine not his. Later the next day a new mousetrap and sticky trap was delivered to our door. Next morning we were going to shower and the towels hung in the bathroom were unbelievably stained and dingy and old. We threw them all in the tub and found some under the sink that were the same but we used anyway. The towels in all bathrooms were the same. Ick! The sheets on the master bed had blood stains and smelled soured. Everyone pulled sheets off beds and washed the second day. But the smell was also in the pillows and bedding. The house smelled musty and moldy. There were dehumidifiers in most rooms that filled and smelled. There were used air fresheners sitting all around. An obvious ongoing problem. Day 2 brought the yellow jackets. When getting out of the shower there were 6-8 yellow jackets flying around the light fixtures and fan. This time I called maintenance and got Louis who was a really nice guy. Very personable. He looked around and got a ladder but didn't see anything even though he could see all the dead ones laying in the floor and tub. He said I don't see a nest so just keep an eye on them. ?!? So each day we showered with yellowjackets flying in our bathroom. It seems that they had been treated at some point as they would ultimately be dead on the counter and floor but new energetic ones the next morning. The exterior of the home showed many hornet and bee nests and the beautiful bank of windows to the lake was dirty and cobweb covered. Sad. We are frequent travelers, taking two family trips per year and have stayed at many nice properties. We paid 8K for this week and it was such a disappointment. Lots of potential but in definite need of maintenance, deep cleaning and replacing of bedding, pillows, mats and towels. Renter Beware!
House and setting were lovely. We almost felt like we were in paradise and no one else was around! Setting is so private and beautiful. We only ran into a few other people, but had access to a lovely pool, tennis, billiards, ping pong, boats and hiked to a lovely waterfall a mile or so from the house. Caught and released several fish, which kids loved. Expensive but worth it!
We would definitely want to come back to this house! We enjoyed the fire pit area for s'mores and breakfast by the lake with the company of many birds, fish, and other wildlife. We had good accessibility to the canoes, kayaks, paddleboards -= the kids had a great time and it was a good place for them to learn to paddleboard. The house worked well for having lots of people because there were plenty of gathering places and a large open main room. We appreciated the extra ice maker and little refrigerator. The beds were comfortable.
We spent a week with family that lives all over the SouthEast with an age range of 54 to 88. All of us were extremely happy with the home, the process, the area, everything! The home is on a beautiful lake with lots of outdoor seating so those that didn't want to venture out could still enjoy the outdoors while those up for a walk were able to access the waterfall area easily with short trek along the wide and relatively flat lake walkway. When we needed help, the response was immediate and with smiles. Thank you so much for a perfect place for a much-needed reunion with our family!
