Kingfisher's Roost - Waterfront Cabin/Private Dock
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.
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
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.

Highlands Lakefront Home 2 minutes from downtown!
Beautiful cottage on lake. Very peaceful and close to town. The home was clean with all amenities you would need. We so enjoyed sitting on the dock taking in the lovely surroundings. We look forward to booking in the future!

Riverfront Fishing Cabin
The place is exactly as described. Very close to WCU and worked out great during move in day. Relaxing place to stay.

Home on Lake Fontana with Private Dock
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
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
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!

Awesome private cabin with a great location!

Catamount River Retreat
This makes our second time staying at Amanda’s place. It has been such an ideal spot for my family while visiting our kids at WCU. I truly can’t say enough. If you’re looking for a peaceful, beautiful neighborhood look no further! We love it!

Mountain Lake House at Rocky Point
The view of the lake from the large back porch was awesome. A peaceful place to relax and explore the lake on the canoes provided. There was a green egg on site for cooking dinner. I’d highly recommend this location!

Blue Heron Haven
Beautiful & peaceful location. The house was lovely, kitchen well stocked with kitchen items, gadgets. Big beautiful windows to see out to the lake; and both bedrooms w/ lake views. Beautiful house! Lovely porch & dock, where we spent all our time.

Winsome Guest house in Trillium-Cashiers/Highlands
The house was perfect for us. We were very comfortable there. We loved the fireplace and had a fire most nights. The enclosed porch was nice for our small dog that loved sitting out there looking for squirrels!

Fontana Lake Cottage: waterfront cozy getaway!
We loved staying here! The house has everything one would need for a relaxing stay. My kids loved fishing from the dock, the legos, and puzzles- so much to do that screens were not even missed!

Cozy lake house
Wow! What a amazing place. So peaceful and quiet with amazing views. Will definitely be back

Wanderlust Cottage
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
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!

Great Smoky Mountains Retreat
We've stayed around the Smokey's for years and this house provided some of the best views we've ever had. A beautiful, clean home that feels very inviting. We definitely recommend and would stay again. Host made us feel right at home and was available within minutes. It was evident she wanted us to enjoy our trip, which we did!

Your Smoky Mountain Cottage Home
Great place and great host! Would come back again! 10/10 Recommend

Little Piece of Heaven Lake House
My family really enjoyed our stay here. It was quiet and peaceful, but also conveniently close to town. The lakeside location gave us something pretty to look at each day. We enjoyed sitting outside on the balcony and down by the lake to soak up the view. Thanks!

Rankin Ferry Retreat
Great location and very comfortable stay. Very friendly hosts were very helpful, and flexible! Thank you! Hopefully see you again soon!

Woodland Cottage
Quiet location, comfortable and clean space! Kimberly is a super responsive host.

Cliffside Views of Lake Glenville ~10m to Cashiers
We had a wonderful stay, the home was absolutely breathtaking and the view was gorgeous. We came for a wedding and spent the rest of the weekend relaxing on the deck and taking in the lake views. The home had everything we needed and was spotless!! Highly recommend

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