FIRST, you have four kayaks available. They are located in a lock storage room close to the dock. SECOND, we supply a fire pit with camp chairs for you to roast s'mores by the lake in the evenings.

Now, let's get back to the description of the cottage rooms....
The main floor of the cottage has the bedrooms, kitchen, dining room, living room and the screened-in outdoor porch.

Both bedrooms include a queen bed with bedsheets, closet, drawers for clothes, closet rod for hanging clothes and nightstands with drawers. The shared full bathroom is located between the two bedrooms. All bath towels and washcloths are supplied.

The living room has a sofa, chair, storage ottoman with kids activities, and a 60” wifi TV.

The kitchen has a stove/oven combo, microwave, dishwasher and refrigerator. There is a small, movable kitchen island for added preparation space. We have you covered with a drip-coffee maker as well. You will definitely want to enjoy your morning coffee on the outdoor porch.

The dining room features a counter height table with six chairs. The area behind the sofa and next to the dining room has a twin daybed with a twin trundle. Extra pillows and blankets are found in the bedrooms. This sleeping area is not private and shares the full bathroom with the other guests. This sleeping area is ideal for kids.

As you walk through the sliding glass doors, you have the beautiful view of Lake Santeetlah. On this screened-in porch, you can relax on the sectional sofa or have your meals at the second dining table.

To enter the basement level of the home, you have to walk outside the cottage. This older home DOES NOT have a interior staircase. There are no sleeping areas in the basement. The laundry, office and a second entertaining space with another 60” TV. PLUS, there is a second porch where you can sit back and admire the view.

    Oh. My. Gosh. Sooo happy. It was a week of paradise. Mornings sitting and having hot tea on the screened in porch, just steps away from the lake, watching the fog clear off the lake and mountains. The bed was amazing. I have a high end mattress and need to find out which one we slept on at Sunset Cotttage because it was amazing. Wonderfully stocked kitchen. Very comfortable furniture. Sheer heaven. Very pet friendly, my little dog would sit on the porch with me. Definitely returning! Host was very responsive when there was a storm and I momentarily lost internet (learned, turn it off - wait a couple minutes - turn it back on..YAY). Responded right away to my question. Can’t say enough positive things about this verbo experience.

    What a beautiful stay at Carrie's cottage on Lake Santeetlah! We had a great time, enjoying the lake and dock, the kayaks, and the wonderful screened-in porch. It was a much-needed few days of downtime in this charming and comfortable place just steps from the water. Thank you!

    Lovely home! Our family enjoyed the comfort of the home. Only issue is the basement area seemed to have drainage issues and the carpet was wet in some areas and smelled moldy. I’m not that picky and I understand the challenges of drainage in the mountains so I’ll be generous on the rating. If someone has respiratory issues that could be a problem for the property owner. I would remediate immediately because that is a liability.

    The dock gets all day sunlight, until around 7:30. Kayaked around, cooked food and drank, that was all the wife and i wanted, but we got a very comfort home to stay in and that's a big plus, would love to rent it again next year.

    I can't remember a more relaxing week. If you can pull yourself away from the view, there are great hikes in the area, and we loved the waterside dining at the Tapoco Tavern so much that we went back for dinner. The kitchen at this property did not succumb to the common rental problem of too many cast offs from the owner's kitchen crowding the cabinets, with plenty of room to store groceries and well organized kitchen tools. Beds are comfy, hot water nearly instant and plentiful, water pressure excellent. Figure out how to work the high tech thermostat, and realize that it needs to be reset every 24 hours, or it goes back to it's settings. The owners have left the manual for you. We took the kayaks for a 6 hour paddle out to the dam. They are sit on top kayaks, so consider bringing an old towel to put over your legs if you are looking to do long floats. Could go fishing at a moments notice, when the lake starts boiling with fish, and be sure to bring a float so you can simply relax in the water. Internet is somewhat spotty, given the rural location, and we had issues with our Verizon cell service. I would not want to be working from here, not that I would be disciplined enough to do so. Spent most of our indoor time on the screened in porch. We will be back, but probably with our own kayaks this time, so that we can drive to other put ins and explore more of the lake. Thank you so much for sharing this stunning property with us!!!

    We checked in Thursday and stayed through Sunday. The place is very nice. The screened porch was relaxing in the heat of the day. The dock allowed for me to keep my boat close. The setting is peaceful. We will definitely want to stay here again.

    Simple lake life, older home but renovated with everything you need to enjoy the relaxing atmosphere. Pristine water and well kept dock. We swam and ventured out in the kayaks. Read and ate meals on the screened in porch and watched the clouds dance on the water. Great house for a small group. Definitely contact Jared at Smoky Mountain Kayak Fishing. Went on a sunset fishing cruise and it was gorgeous. Don’t miss Roger at Pineapple Whips!
