About this property

Cozy Cabin on Lake Santeetlah in the Smoky Mountains

Our cozy cabin on Lake Santeetlah is great for a couple or couple with one child to relax and unwind. PLEASE NOTE - LIMITED OCCUPANCY. Lake Santeetlah is located in Graham County, just south of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and in the Nantahala National Forest. Lake Santeetlah is a pristine and clear 3000 acre lake with a 1939 foot lake elevation, with an average depth of 56 feet and a maximum of 213’. About 80% of the lake shoreline is national park, with only 20% developed.

The Cabin has 2 bedrooms, living room, single bath, screened in porch, decks and a private dock. The first bedroom has a queen sized bed (sleeps 2) and the second bedroom has a twin bed (sleeps 1). The cabin is newly renovated with a new kitchen and bath. The first bedroom has a queen bed with great views of the lake. The second bedroom has a twin bed. Dinner on the screened in porch, followed by a board or card game is a great way to end the day after a long day in the lake swimming, tubing, boating or playing.

There is a canoe available on the property and two kayaks, along with a few noodles and other lake toys. The lake is deep and clear. You can see the fish swimming around the dock! Bring your own boat and launch it at the public boat ramp or rent a boat at the local Marina. The water at our dock is very deep and will allow almost any size boat to be docked there. There is fresh water fishing in the lake, with all different types of bass: largemouth, smallmouth, spotted, white and striped bass. Walleye, catfish and crappie are also caught on the lake. Fly fishing for trout is just off the lake in the creeks leading to the lake, with Buffalo Creek, Big Snowbird Creek and Yellow Creek local favorite places. Some rivers are hatchery supported and some only have wild trout.

The area around the cabin has a lot to offer to explore or for a rainy day. Cherokee is about 1 hour north on Hwy 74/441. Scenic train rides take you around the mountains starting in Bryson City. Tsali Recreation Area is nationally known for its mountain bike rides, with 42 miles of trails. Closer to home, the famous Tail of the Dragon starts just outside of Town, along with Moonshiner Highway (Rt 28) and the Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest has trees so large it takes a group of people to put their arms all the way around a single tree. The Appalachian Trail is just 8 miles from Lake Santeetlah along with other shorter hikes to waterfalls and beautiful creeks. And yes, there are bears in the area, so be aware! There is also white water rafting on the Nantahala River or the Little Tennessee River just outside of Town. Fontana Dam is a site to see - the tallest dam east of the Mississippi.

Come, enjoy your stay, relax, have fun and make memories!

About the host

Hosted by Tina

Host profile image
Our family has rented cottages on different lakes on the East Coast and Lake Santeetlah is the only lake that we returned to more than once. The lake and the views are unbelievable. I love having coffee on the dock and watching the 'smoke' roll over the mountains in the morning. The nights are very quiet and the stars seem close enough to touch. A few summers ago, we purchased the cabin. It was unexpected as we hadn't been looking to buy at that time, as we were just sending our last child off to college. We spent the first year renovating the cabin and trying to make it a comfortable place to relax and enjoy the lake and surrounding area. We hope you'll enjoy the lake as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

The views are incredible. The lake is clear and clean. Come, you'll see.
