On a ridgetop at 3600 feet, Misty Laurel is a new, spacious (2400 square foot) log-sided cabin that overlooks Lake Nantahala and the peaks of the Smoky Mountain National Park beyond. Imagine awakening to a gorgeous view of the lake and then taking a brisk walk thru a lovely forest with crisp, clean air. You might even have a White Christmas, according to Accuweather forecasters! It doesn't get any better than this!
It's a wonderful place for families or couples, with a myriad of outdoor activities available nearby, including easy access to Lake Nantahala and to the Nantahala Outdoor Center. For hikers, the Bartram Trail passes nearby and intersects with the Appalachian Trail at Wayah Bald, which is just east of the cabin. Fishermen will enjoy stream or lake fishing nearby. The Nantahala River is famous for its flyfishing opportunities.
For after-hours entertainment, there are two HD LCD TVs (32-inch and 46-inch), both with HD DirecTV receivers, plus DVD players, and a VCR. Kids (and husbands!) can be exiled to the big-screen TV in the recreation room on the lower level while others enjoy quiet and privacy in the the main floor living area and the loft.
DSL BROADBAND INTERNET is provided by Verizon and can be accessed by Ethernet or Wi-Fi (bring your laptop).
For lots more interior/exterior photos & panoramas, floorplan, sample lease agreement, maps, area information, recommended restaurants and our contact information, go to the Misty Laurel website at "Links to More Information" below.
This is a great place to relax and enjoy the out-of-doors while still keeping in touch!

Why the Owner Chose Lake Nantahala
We love to get away from the heat and humidity of Florida (Tallahassee) and Misty Laurel Chalet at Lake Nantahala is a great place to cool off and have fun!
The Unique Benefits at this CABIN
While it's nice to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, we still need to be able to keep in touch. Satellite-based internet access provides for this need, so we can still fulfill our obligations as consultants, etc.

I justed wanted to let you know what a fabulous time Mike and I had staying at the Misty Laurel Chalet. The scenery was breath-taking and waking up in the mornings was like being in the clouds. The facilties we great as well. Once we got there, we felt like just staying and not even taking in the sights - although we did - and it was great to find out there were so many activities just around the corner of the mountain (kayaking, horseback riding, fishing and boating!). Thank you so much for telling us about the Chalet. We look forward to using it again!! It was a very relaxing and memorable stay!

What a beautiful place! The view of the lake, framed by awesome fall colors, was magnificent ! There were great places to explore, but we were just as happy to to sit by the fire or play games. The guys were able to get the "big game" on TV so everyone was happy! There was lots of room to spread out and plenty of privacy for each couple. We are recommending it to our friends!

I just wanted to let you know on behalf of myself and my family members what a wonderful place Misty Laurel Chalet is to stay! I felt like I was in heaven when I awoke each morning in the loft and looked out to an absolutely breathtaking view of Lake Nantahala and the surrounding mountains. The cabin was warm, cozy, and had plenty of room for all of us. Being brand new, it had all the modern amenities anyone could want while on vacation. The location was great since we were not far from many charming surrounding towns that we could easily get to in an hour or so. We all enjoyed our walks down and up the mountain each morning. We look forward to a summer visit so we can enjoy the lake and the Outdoor center for rafting which is just minutes away. I highly recommend Misty Laurel for anyone wanting a pleasant place to enjoy the mountains of North Carolina!

We had such a wonderful time at the cabin, talk about R&R deluxe we nicknamed it "Heavens Perch". Comfy, cozy and a view to die for - the lake is spectacular. Thank you again and we look forward to the next visit.
