My husband and I have always loved the Nantahala area and were looking for a relaxing getaway. The Lost River Lodge was just the place! The view from the deck was amazing, especially in the morning and evenings. We thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub, hammock, fire pit, and the peace and quiet. The kitchen was very well stocked. We had one disastrous breakfast one morning when we couldn't find any nonstick frying pans and tried to cook eggs and hash browns in a regular metal pan. If I had texted the host sooner, we would have known there were 3 nonstick frying pans "hiding" in the stove drawer directly under the oven.😣 The cabin was very clean and the furniture comfortable. The main floor bedroom's bed was a little too soft for us and a bit squeaky, but not a show stopper. The road leading up to the cabin was a bit overgrown with brambles, but passable. AWD is definitely a big help getting up the steep incline. Albert, the host, was very responsive to any questions and even reached out a couple of times just to check on us. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Thanks, Albert, for sharing your lovely cabin and view!
