    This was our third visit to this amazing property, and it just gets better with time. The house is lovely, well-appointed, and comfortable. The view of the lake and mountains could not be better. The lake water is clean, and our group of 7 had the best time swimming off the dock. The kitchen had all we needed to make meals for the family, but we did visit Lake’s End for dinner one evening. We had to wait about half an hour for a table, but it was worth it. Yummy food. Great service. We would highly recommend staying in this lovely home in this amazing setting. We’ll be back!

    We had a blast on Lake Nantahala for a family reunion! This was a great location and we loved being on the lake. The house had so much space and we loved making s’mores down by the lake! Using the boat made it very convenient to travel to family so we didn’t have to drive the whole time we were there. Brad was a great host!

    The comfortable and gracious home and its tranquil setting on the lake provided the perfect location for the annual summer reunion of our far-flung family of three generations. We have been to many nice places in various parts of the country over the past dozen years or so, but this was the best. The house was lovely and roomy. The bedrooms for three adult couples were comfortable, especially the master bedroom which included a long bathtub with waterjets as well as a large walk-in shower. The room with bunkbeds for the grandkids included two large regular beds for the older ones. The kitchen was well equipped and because the weather was so good, we ate all of our meals at the long table on the deck facing the lake that comfortably seated the 11 of us. The lake felt very serene—there were no houses on the other side of the lake and quiet, with relatively few motor boats passing at a distance. And there were no bugs. We spent a lot of time on the dock, where the two young grandsons (8 and 10) learned to use a spinning rod and caught several sunfish and a bass. They and the others used the dock for sunbathing and then swimming. The water was clear, refreshingly cool, but not cold. The kayaks and canoe were a real plus, especially for a quiet paddle in the morning mist that we had for a couple days. We rented the Boston Whaler, which seats 7, and a big tube that we towed for the kids to ride. We also used the motor boat for fishing; trolling as well as casting.

    I know. About lake Nantahala for awhile and know it was a clean lake. To be honest the lake house was perfect the grandkids loved it better than the beach. So many options to do on the water. The house had a variety of lake toys that were perfect. The house was great and roomy and we had porches to eat on etc. Iit really was better than a beach vacation. We will definitely be back! The communication and response was top notch! Thanks for sharing the house !!!

    Overall, I give this home a 5/5. The home is beautiful, lots of covered outdoor space the way/hang if it rains, host was very helpful and responsive, and the home was well kept. For those reasons, I give the home a 5/5 rating. My big negative point though is in regards to the inaccurate listing. On the listing, it stated sandy beach and from the pictures, you can see a much larger grassy backyard. We chose this house because it stated sandy beach as we brought several young children and we thought this feature would serve us well. When we arrived there was absolutely no sandy beach but rather a large rock wall and no grassy backyard as the picture shows. It would have been nice to know that before hand, but my whole family still enjoyed the place and had a wonderful time.

    If you are looking for an outstanding vacation experience, this is definitely the place to stay! We had our family of 13 stay for a week, and there was plenty of room for us all. Absolutely everything we needed was provided. The home is beautiful and the lake and view are stunning. The kitchen is extremely well-equipped which made it enjoyable to cook each evening. There are 2 very nice grills and a fire pit, which was great. The kayaks, canoes, paddle boards and wakeboards were used often. We spent long days in and on the water (which is pristine). We had the use of the owner's boat, which was the highlight of the trip for the kids and grandkids. We also enjoyed the hot tub. The owner was very responsive and did everything he could to make our stay perfect. It is not an exaggeration to say that this is among the very best accommodations at which we have stayed. If you are paging through VRBO listings looking for your next vacation, stop looking and book this now. You will not be disappointed!

    House and lake were nice. Area is remote. Lake traffic not crowded. Take your food provisions with you for your stay. Restaurant is nice. It's a dry county so if you want alcohol, get it before you get there.
