Enjoy our large and comfortable lakefront home. The Cool Cat Cottage features three levels with den and fireplace on main level, a well equipped kitchen, master suite & a separate bath on the main floor, and 2 large bedrooms with a full bath upstairs. All the bedrooms have a water view. Downstairs there's a bunk room with three full-sized beds, and a full bath. Also downstairs, there is a kitchenette with full size fridge and microwave, a game room with a pool table, and a home theater room with a 72 inch screen.
WE HAVE HIGH SPEED INTERNET via STARLINK for your online needs!
There's a big rocking chair front porch with a gas grill on main level and a patio with a porch swing below. Unlike most Lake Nantahala homes, there are no steep stairs to the lake. Just walk out of the downstairs door, and make your way down to the lake, passing down a few stairs to a shady deck with a picnic table and sitting area, down a few more steps to the fire pit, and down the gangway to our large private dock with swim platform and use of 2 kayaks, 2 stand up paddle-boards and life vests. Large parking area with room for at least 4 cars.
The Cool Cat Cottage is perfect for family gatherings and relaxing times at the Lake. If you are planning a big party or loud celebrations into the early hours, this is not the place for you. Our neighbors are our friends and sound carries across the Lake. Quiet hours are 10pm - 8am. We are happy to share our house but please be respectful.
Thanks so much for your interest and we look forward to hosting you!

We had a great stay for a few days! The house was VERY well stocked; kitchen and bathrooms. The lake lovely, home cozy and accommodating. We enjoyed rafting at the NOC, did some hiking and relaxed! Should we be in the area again, we would definitely stay again. Thank you for opening your home for us to enjoy!
The space was great for a family gathering from all over the country with enough room to entertain and be comfortable. The amenities were all very nice and the house had almost everything you could ask for in a short term rental. Clean with a great view of the lake and the mountains, although it was maiming most of our trip, it was still nice to look at in the fall foliage. The pool table was used but only one cue had a bump so we had to share a bit but definitely a nice entertainment area for family and kids. Had a great time and enjoyed our stay!Thank you!
We loved staying at this lake house! It was so fun with all the amenities and the house was stocked with everything we needed. We loved having the kayaks and standup paddle board, the pool room and movie room. The kids loved it! Thank you! We will be back!
Only comment I would say is the trail walking down to the lake needed a little maintenance. But it was close to the lake and a pretty easy trek down. Nice place. Would stay again!
Such a perfect spot to stay for our family wedding at Nantahala Weddings. Right across the street! Super view. Early mornings on the dock were just lovely!
The house is beautiful and fully stocked with necessities. Plenty of blankets and towels. The view is amazing and so close to the wedding venue. We love our stay and highly recommend the space. Thanks for a great week!
The cabin was absolutely beautiful, the views were breath taking and the cabin was furnished very, very nicely. The beds and pillows were very comfortable and plenty of towels and blanket. Kitchen had everything you needed. The kids loved the movie room and all the games

Thanks for your kind review Pat. I am glad you enjoyed your stay 😊
Great trip to the area. The house was actually slightly larger than I anticipated and the kitchen was well stocked. The amenities of the kayaks and paddle boards was a big plus. The dock was also very nice and close to the house The shared drive to the house is very narrow but thankfully I never met another vehicle coming or going so it was a non-issue. I would definitely recommend if the description meets your requirements.
It was a beautiful spot! Nantahala Park is a pretty special place, surrounded by nature and the spectacular views of the sparkling lake from the house, and short walk down to the dock. The house was so clean and spacious with lovely extra large bedrooms. We were with family staying for a wedding nearby. It was the perfect location, with gorgeous views and indoor and outdoor sitting areas and dinning tables. We cooked and bbq’d.We were a group of 7, ranging from 2-75 yrs old. It was so nice having the master bedroom on the main floor, with 2 full bathrooms on that floor. The bedrooms upstairs were also really nice and spacious with a nice bathroom. The bunnies room on the lower floor which was the walk-out basement was a lot of fun and comfortable, again with a full bathroom. We had a great time going for a swim in the lake. Then kids loved it! There were also kayaks, and life jackets to use, for adults and kids sizes. We went to the marina near by and rented a boat for an afternoon too which was an exciting and beautiful way to see the lake and the park. The hosts were so nice and responded to our questions before going. We really didn’t need to contact them while there cause everything was ready for us. We all said we wished we could have stayed longer!

Kitty’s Cool Cat Cottage
Pros: The location was excellent, beautiful setting on the lake. Kitchen and bathrooms were clean. The downstairs game room area is nice. Good Wi-Fi through star link, but it is unsecured.Cons: Inside the house there was a foul odor. There were cobwebs and thick dust on the furniture. The dryer doesn’t dry towels but other items were dried okay. There were branches hanging over the walkways to the dock, and a step missing. Bedding was moderately uncomfortable. Some outdoor chairs required cleaning and were cracked and broken.In summary, okay stay but very rustic, not big on cleanliness or comfort. Felt like I paid 3.5 star rates for a 2 star stay.
The house was fantastic. So spacious and with all of the amenities. We enjoyed doing puzzles on the raised dining table, watching the many DVD movies that were available, playing pool, and paddling the kayaks and stand-up paddle boards that were available at the dock on the beautiful lake. The gas grill made cooking fast and easy. You will want to arrive with most of your food so that you only have to make one trip to a grocery store during the week of your stay. We had a fantastic family vacation.
This home was warm and inviting. Everything was clean and in good condition. The roads are tight due to houses being on a mountainside so wouldn’t want to pull a trailer to it. It’s important to know the Internet rarely works due to the trees and remoteness but once starlink arrives all should be well. The lake is amazing and we enjoyed our stay immensely! Will gladly use again!!
Stayed here for our daughters wedding at the Nantahala Wedding venue. Was in a great location and walkable to the wedding. House was clean and set up with all the amenities we needed for a great weekend. Enjoyed the rocking chairs on the front porch with a view of the lake.
We enjoyed this property because it was convenient to the wedding venue, Nantahala Events and it is located on beautiful Lake Nantahala. We thoroughly enjoyed the paddleboards and kayaks available for our use. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, etc.
Property was very large and spacious and had everything we needed. Could be a bit cleaner as the kitchen was a bit greasy and there were lots of crumbs in the oven, along with dusty tables in the living room. Microwave did not work, but Kitty offered to bring a new one the next day, which we declined. Internet is barely useable, but this is the case at every property we’ve stayed at on Lake Nantahala, so it isn’t specific to this property. I would recommend this property for large families.
