Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Nottely Lake

loved the stay. super close to the boat ramp and great parking for my bass boat.

Very nice place and hosts were very responsive and helpful with everything. Enjoyed our stay very much.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! We loved it so much, this was our 2nd stay. Group of 13 friends just hanging out for the weekend. Things that stand out include the absolutely pristine bathrooms and the fully stocked kitchen. All the pans, utensils, cutting boards, baking pans, etc. you need. Lots of places I've been to don't have things like measuring cups but they have everything. When we had questions, response was fast. Nice common area for everyone to hang out in. Just a great place.

We enjoyed our four nights! Rachel communicated quickly throughout the process, and we had everything we needed during our stay! If the opportunity arose, we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. Thank you!

Josh's place is beautiful and very spacious. We had way more room than what we needed but took advantage of the extra space. Can't get any better than having a fire in the fire pit going while listening to the creek run behind us. It feels secluded but so close to town. We will definitely keep this place as a must rent when we visit again.

I have stayed at many AirBnBs, and Joan’s was by far the VERY BEST ONE I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED! There should be awards for this home. I can’t rave enough about it. Accommodating is the number one adjective I believe describes her cottage because there is not a single thing we needed- Joan has thought about it ALL; she has to be the most thoughtful host ever. Personable and cozy are some other ways to describe this home- we didn’t want to leave! The bird watching and porch is so very inviting and peaceful. The bath is gorgeous and has everything you need for it. The towels were heated, there were robes, clean linens… games, every cooking item you can think of, coffee, precious and thoughtful things left out special here and there just for us- I mean, you think it…. She DID IT. Absolutely AMAZING. 10/10. The price shocked me for how much of a TREAT it is to stay here… must mean Joan is a humble person, which is VERY rare these days. Can’t wait to come back! 😊

Really enjoyed the home. Our trip was cut short due to anticipated weather to travel 11-12 hrs home. Would love to come back and enjoy the porches during different seasons. During our stay it was cold and rainy. Place was as described- clean, comfortable, and relaxing. Rodney was very responsive and understanding when it came to checking out earlier than planned. Would definitely stay again.

We had a great time! The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed! About 15 minutes from downtown Blue Ridge which was nice and convenient. The hosts were extremely quick to respond to our questions and made sure everything was to our satisfaction. Would definitely stay here again.

I had a great stay. The place is very easy to find and in a great location. Was very impressed with how clean and organized everything was. Would highly recommend staying at river romance.

We visit Helen often and look for rentals that are close to town, the river, and are comfortable… we hit the jackpot with Kendra’s River Suite for Two. The beautifully decorated room, gorgeous peaceful riverside seating and many owner thoughtful touches made our stay extra special! We will be back!

Mike and Karen were wonderful hosts! They greeted us upon arrival! Made us feel right at home. Even though they live above the apartment they were never intrusive and gave us our space and our privacy. They even gave us fresh eggs as we were leaving. Love the frog garden!

The resort is lovely! It’s a nice get away. Just keep in mind cell service is limited in this area! It’s beautiful. 😍

Great stay! Our kids loved the cabin and the hot tub. it was very cozy and comfortable. would definitely recommend!!!

we enjoyed our stay.. very clean. GPS had us lost and James was very patient with me calling and asking for directions.

Great location, we were able to walk everywhere. Very clean and enough room for 2 of us.

location is amazing. the home was extremely clean. it had all the amenities. everything was perfect. we can't wait to come back !

The Castle of Joy was amazing to stay at!!! The welcome book provided was super helpful in determining where to eat, shop for groceries or items, activities, etc. The bottom half of the home was really cool! it felt like the more we explored the castle the more cool things we found. Unfortunately, it rained most of the time we were there so we didnt get a chance to walk too much of the trails (consequence of booking in advance). However, I'm sure if I wanted to cancel or reschedule the booking, it would be easy to do so withing 10 days of the check in date (review cancellation policy). My booking was for just 2 people. However, this gem is definitely meant to be shared with a group booking!

My family and I had the time of our lives! It was absolutely beautiful and looked exactly like the pictures! Craig was amazing and very fast with his responses! He checked in on us and made sure everything was just as we expected! My mom is disabled and is wheelchair bound and the home even had a ramp to get her into the main floor and that’s hard to find in the mountains! My sister lives in Nantahala and I love visiting up there to see her but we decided to get an Airbnb this time and we will now always stay here! We were blown away! And also the hot tub is massive my whole family basically fit in it! Thanks again Craig!!

Beautiful home on the river that was nicely secluded. The walk down to the river is a bit steep but my 85 year old mom did it just fine. The house was clean, with excellent instructions for check-in and an easy check-out process.

The home was very clean and comfortable. Many thoughtful amenities and supplies were here helpful.
