About this property

Family-Friendly Lakefront Retreat – Private Dock, Hot Tub & Endless Fun!

Unplug, unwind, and soak up lake life at this stunning lake house retreat on beautiful Lake Nantahala. Nestled in the Nantahala National Forest, this spacious 4-bedroom, 3-bath lakefront home is perfect for families and groups—comfortably sleeping up to 14 guests with room to relax, explore, and reconnect.

Step outside to enjoy a huge wraparound deck with panoramic lake and forest views—the perfect place for morning coffee, grilling out, or stargazing. Head down to your private dock for swimming, boating, or casting a line for some of the lake’s best trout and bass fishing. After a day on the water, unwind in the hot tub, share stories around the fire pit, or cozy up inside by one of the home’s two fireplaces.

Inside, the home blends rustic charm with modern comfort, featuring an open-concept layout, fully equipped kitchen, and large windows that frame the lake. Three dedicated bedrooms plus a bonus sleeping area in the game room give everyone space, and three full bathrooms make mornings smooth and stress-free.

Whether you're here for adventure or relaxation, you're just minutes from the best of Western North Carolina: whitewater rafting, the Bartram Trail, waterfalls, gem mines, local breweries, and more.

Great place, peaceful, quiet, clean and comfortable. Only surprise was the rough gravel road/driveway 1.4miles, you will not want to drive a low riding sports car on this. This drive does make it very remote without any close neighbors. Love it and will visit again!

We had the most wonderful time with our extended family. The house was roomy and the views incredible. Being right on LAKE NANTAHALA was the best experience for everyone. We had Kayaks, paddle boards and a small boat that came with a large tube to pull the kids around. Overall the house was well stocked. The kitchen had enough dishes and pots and pans and everything in good condition. The best thing was the owner\host was so responsive to our needs and accommodated us when we ran out of toilet paper and paper towels. John also put an extra bed in the house for us. We will definitely return for another visit. I will caution people that the road getting to the property was pretty rough and we lost internet so we had a bit of difficulty getting finding the house. But once there….it was perfect. Highly recommend this property!
