5 star location. Santeetlah Lake and the location of the house is amazing. The host was also very nice when we booked. The rest of the house is 3 star at best. If you are there for the lake it's a great location.

Very nice cabin with beautiful lake views. We really enjoyed our time here.

This is a great cabin that feels like home. The views of the lake are really beautiful. The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed to enjoy ourselves and relax. The owner communicates well and was very nice. I would definitely like to stay here again.

Cozy Lake Cabin

Stayed here with family to attend a weekend reunion. The house is simple and cozy and worked for our needs. The neighborhood streets are very narrow and winding through the picturesque lakefront community. Very nice location for a small group.

Thank you for your feedback. We are assessing any issues with the dock and the downstairs door right away, the pocket door isnā€™t used often so we were unaware. However the cabinets are stocked with everything needed (ample bowls, plates, pots, a pan, silverware, cooking utensils, mugs, cups, a full knife set, coffee & filters, sugar packets, etc), these photos are only of the small cabinet next to the sink and the coffee cabinet. There are 4 more cabinets full of dishes. The furniture is not dirty by any means! Wish you all the best. :)

Beautiful Lake front

Itā€™s like 2 separate apartments upstairs & down. Perfect for 2 couples or a family. Each couple has their own privacy & for families, the kids get their own space. BEAUTIFUL view as youā€™re right on the lake.

Relaxing Long Weekend with a Beautiful View!

Amazing location! The view out the family room window was spectacular. A very easy place to relax! We rented a fishing kayak for my stepson. He fished for hours, even in the rain. I stayed inside enjoying the view, drinking coffee, and putting together a puzzle. We canā€™t wait to go back!

Lake access and views were beyond excellent! Unfortunately there were maintenance issues that make staying here dubious, absent some remedial action. The biggest issue was mildew in the basement, where one of the bedrooms and the fold out couch reside. Caveat emptor.

Quiet and pretty

A nice lakeside cabin with beautiful views. The house is a little quirky, but quite comfortable. The two floors are perfect for two separate couples. Each has its own bathroom, bedroom and living room for privacy. The floors are a little funny with small steps between rooms, and not quite level makes you think youā€™re drunk (until you realize the floors have a little slope.). We loved the private, safe parking spot and quiet neighbors. The porches all have a great view of the lake and mountains.

Nice cabin

I had a few travel issues just getting to the cabin. None of which involved the cabin or directions. My boat decided to fail the first morning, my phone fell into the lake. All that and I had a nice vacation because of the cabin. The view down the lake, they have high speed internet. There are tons of hiking trails in the area, Just walking in the community was beautiful and peaceful. Looking forward to going back next year.

TLC Needed

Property was nice. Lake was beautiful. However, property needs a bit of maintenance. Beds are in need of replacement. Several places where paint is peeling. Carpets have several spots and floors had not been mopped. House was comfortable but definitely needed a bit of TLC.

Great location and front porch

The location is great. The porch was great. The communication was great. The house was not. We left early because the beds were so uncomfortable. There was someone's dirty t-shirt left in a chair on the main floor bedroom. The house was musty smelling, the screen door was busted so we couldn't get breezes from the outside. The kitchen was well stocked and clean but there were cobwebs hanging from the ceiling and most of the light fixtures.

I apologize that your stay was not up to par! We do have a housekeeper and I guess she may have missed a few things when cleaning. I donā€™t live in town so itā€™s hard for me to check. We are currently replacing the beds and doing maintenance work to the house. Please contact me for a discount on your next visit!

Wonderful and Restful Stay

We so enjoyed our stay at the lake with all our adult children. This home is cozy and comfortable, with a magnificent lake view. We spent many nights relaxing on the deck, as well as early mornings drinking coffee from the well-equipped kitchen. We cooked some mighty fine dinners there. House was very clean and stocked with plenty of towels and linens. Being able to have our pup with us was such a plus! We rented a pontoon boat and used the private dock which was an easy walk down from the house. Communication with owner was over the top great, as we just had a few questions and Mother Nature tried to put the lights out. Not a problem at all and Courtney was very concerned that we all had a perfect vacation, which we certainly did! Thank you for sharing your historical home with us.

Left after 3 nights (of a slated 5 night visit)

Unfortunately, we felt compelled to cut our visit short -- we were supposed to stay for 5 nights but left after 3. Although the view was great and we had a good time canoeing, there were several factors that made staying impossible for us. 1) The house has a strong musty odor 2) The downstairs area has moisture problems 3) We spent a lot of time outdoors on the deck, but the smell of septic would occasionally waft by 4) My husband got sick from drinking the tap water. 5) Several things are broken or at least in need of repair.

The sweetest place!

We fell in love with the cabin, itā€™s history, the porch and the ease of it all. We rented kayaks from the nearby dock to paddle in the clean water of Santeetlah. We hiked around Joyce Kilmer. We bought local produce from a market thatā€™s just a few miles away and strung beans on the porch for dinner with the most beautiful view and cool breezes. We played Yahtzee on the dock as the sun went down. We slept like babies, read, had long coffees in the mornings and talked. This isnā€™t a fancy place but a homey one tucked in a cove perfect for swimming and floating on a hot summer day with easy, shallow access to the water. Thereā€™s just tons of heart in this place. The owner is just lovely and was always ready to answer any questions. She told me her Grandfather built the place and that endeared to us it even more. Itā€™s an original to this wonderful lake. Donā€™t let it pass you by, thereā€™s great memories to be made here... Robbinsville is just a few miles away with an Ingles for anything you forget! This is the kind of place to take a break from everything to see how simplicity can recalibrate..,

Kimberly and her husband were wonderful guests, the kind you love to rent to that love the cabin as much as we do! They were both so kind and appreciated my home so much! She is right, itā€™s not big and fancy..... but there is 50years of the sweetest love put into my cabin. I would love to be able to have them as guests anytime and am so thankful I got to know them a bit!!!

Lakefront Home with a view to amaze.

We loved the view and spent alot of time on the back covered porch. The separate apartment downstairs for very nice for privacy and family members enjoyed it. Unfortunately the bed was in need of replacement. it was very bad. It's an older home, but clean and well supplied with towels, dishes, etc. Nice neighborhood and area of the mountains.
