Kingfisher's Roost - Waterfront Cabin/Private Dock

ShelbyRating, 5 stars5 days ago
This was such a sweet stay and we wish we could have stayed longer! Beautiful location - my husband enjoyed fly fishing during the day on the water and I was only 20 minutes from kayaking at the NOC. The house was very clean - tidy bathroom and kitchen with all your basics stocked to get you started. Hot tub was lovely and very clean! There is a steeper drop off next to the outside firepit so I would be mindful with little children. Easy check in and they were very flexible and responsive when we had some crazy weather pop up nearby. We will be back again and hopefully stay a little longer!

Luxury Waterfront Getaway In The Smoky Mountains.

MariaRating, 5 stars2 months ago
This property was perfect for a winter getaway. The home is lovely, the neighborhood is charming and the surroundings are nature at its best. We like to prepare our own meals and the well equipped kitchen met all our expectations. The fireplace provided such a nice comfy feeling. Although it was not the right time of the year to indulge in spending time on the spacious porch, being so close to the river added to the peaceful mood created by the home's interior environment. We enjoyed the opportunity to take long walks in the surrounding area. And it was a plus to have any needed services close by. This would most certainly be a place we would consider revisiting.

Lake Life on Santeetlah

EricaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
The house is on a quiet cove of the lake, and the views from the house are spectacular in the Spring. We enjoyed kayaking and looking at the stars from the dock. I'd love to go back in the summer when we can enjoy jumping in the water and floating all day on the lake. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook with a brand new grill.

Home on Lake Fontana with Private Dock

Eric A.Rating, 5 stars4 months ago
Great location and very peaceful. Extremely clean and well stocked. We stayed in the winter, so the lake was low, but we knew that going in. Parking and stairs down to the door can be a little trickey, especially at night. As others have said, dont bring a boat to the property but take it to a marina. There is limited ability to turn around. Would certainly stay again.

Single level * Amenities included * close to towns

AnnaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Amazing, very spacious house with lots of extra amenities, such as appliances like coffeemaker, air fryer, etc., plenty of board games, books, extra mirrors and cotton swabs/balls in the bathrooms. Nice detailed touches like helpful labels everywhere. Beautifully decorated. Great view of the water from the living room/master bedroom. Great little quiet and peaceful neighborhood, you can walk around the small lake and see the ducks. Perfect location, just minutes away from Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, Great Smoky Mountains, Dollywood, it made exploring the area very easy. One of the best places we’ve stayed at! My kids didn’t want to leave. Highly recommend!

Nantahala Lake Family Home w/ Private Dock & Views

DeniseRating, 5 stars10 months ago
This vacation involved checking out the area for an upcoming wedding. For the house, we wanted lots of space in the house and easy parking, bathrooms for each family group, family space to hang out, easy walking, and of course access to the lake. All of these happened plus great porch space with the firepit and also the outdoor firepit. The stairs to the lake provided a work out and planning for the day. That is the only consideration for others to be aware of, is if they have a family member that has issues with stairs. The area is beautiful and exactly what we hoped for and this home with the easy contact for any issues or questions made it a great week!

Wanderlust Cottage

JoyceRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
Great location for a stay in the woods and very close to lake access. Cashiers and Highlands just a short drive away for shopping, dinner dates, and other activities. Jenn’s place is very clean and nice for a family or couples stay.. separate private areas to enjoy. Kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need for dining in. We checked out great waterfalls and got tickets to Highlander Mountain House “Salon Series” so savored some great music after a delicious dinner. Can’t wait to return to Wanderlust soon

Spectacular Mountain Modern Lake Glenville

LindsayRating, 5 stars8 months ago
You can’t beat the view! Breathtaking view of the lake to have your morning coffee or evening cocktail while enjoying the sunset. We found Linneas place to be perfect for what we needed, with kayaks for our boys to explore, fishing off the dock and only a short drive to town. The home is beautiful and well equipped for what we needed to enjoy the wonderful week on lake Glenville! Linnea was a pleasure to work with and attentive as well. We can’t wait to go back!

3BR/2BA/Loft Lakefront Home on Nantahala, sleeps 8

CindyRating, 5 stars9 months ago
David is the first host that was answering questions before they were asked. He had great recommendations and when we thought we had a little problem with the oven, he was willing to call someone on a Sunday to fix it but instead, he trouble the problem and my husband was able to get the oven working by simply unplugging and plugging it back in a few times due to a power surge. We were able to use the oven the rest of the stay and everything else was perfect. The kitchen is easy to cook in if you like to cook and they have everything you need to do So.
