A great week of relaxation at a beautiful rental property.
A really great property on a fantastic part of the lake. The house was spacious and the kitchen was very well stocked as other reviews stated. There were details that went above and beyond - hand soaps were provided at every sink. Spice cabinet was full, and so much more was provided in the kitchen than a usual rental. So many size options for life jackets, 2 canoes, a nice dock and great swimming cove! We loved the fact that there were so many steps from the dock to the house which kept us in shape even on vacation. The lake is so clean and clear and it was definitely worth having a boat rental for the week! We had one day of rain so the chess table, ping pong table and checkers were heavily used. Highly recommend and we would definitely like to go back sometime!

2nd Stay - Amazing!!!
This is the best house on the lake! We have been coming to the lake 10+ years. Three families from three different states.
Plenty of space for all! We have stayed at this house before and there have been several wonderful additions to the house (was spectacular before). Updated bathrooms, new furniture (although not needed), lots of games, water floats, life jackets, canoe, kitchen accessories (anything you need), bottom floor set for teenagers, college students or young kids (lots to do for entertainment). Pull right up to the front door and bring groceries in on flat ground. View of the lake spectacular sitting on screened in back porch for grandparents that can't make it down to the lake! Can't say enough wonderful things about this house and the owners!

Fantastic!!
The location of the house, the view, the lake, from the beginning (reservation) to the end it was a great experience, Mike (owner) was always a message away from us to help. We rented a boat from the marina for our stay (a must to fully enjoy the lake), very peaceful, a great place to recharge energy and connect with nature!!

Lovely lake home
This was a great place to stay. The house is stocked well, clean, and also comfortable. We had a nice quiet relaxing winter week, spent Christmas with three generations by the wonderful fireplace. The only thing I would add for winter renting is a hot tub, but that is not completely necessary either. Thanks so much.

Wonderful lake front home
The home is located on a beautiful lake, and we enjoyed taking the canoe out in the evening. The property is close to great hiking as well. If you are looking for a peaceful place to stay, this is it. Of course, the quiet and calm means you are an hour drive to highland. There is a small restaurant nearby, otherwise you will cook in which we enjoyed. The home is large and comfortable. The owner is making a few update that will make the property even better.

Child delight, up stairs and down, water toys, boats, fun for all familyily
This spacious 3 level home offered 3 separate accommodations for the 3 families.2 laundry rooms made it convenient .Lots of quiet corners for reading or quiet play for small children.Plenty of space for little ones to chase each other. Huge couches offered ample spaces for more play and of course for adults to sit comfortably to enjoy a fire..Walls of windows offered magnificent views,kitchen is spacious for 4+ cooks to work together.Stairs inside and especially to the dock provided strengthening exercise to make up for absence at the gym. The children enjoyed the toys, and especially the paddle boat and kayak provided.. The grill on the deck was large enough to cook plenty of chicken for all 11 of us.We rented a pantoon for the week and took 3 trips daily. Sunset cruises were beautiful with full moon. The lake offers so many activities...swing from a rock, waterfall walks even my 80 yr. old spouse managed to climb, jump from a high rock, fishing for trout and bass was very rewarding on a river near by. The marina rents tubes to pull children on. Kids said this was like a great dream they woke up from.Our family has memories to remember a lifetime of pure fun and delight.

Great Family Vacation!
Driftwood Cove was the perfect spot for our family vacation. The family group included grandparents, adult children and grandchildren. The layout of the house was comfortable and the view was spectacular. The downstairs was a perfect spot for the children to play games and to just hangout when we weren't enjoying the lake. The dock is tucked away in a cove which provides a safer spot for the kids to swim and to ride around on the paddle boat provided. I highly recommend renting a boat from Lakes End Marina for at least part of your stay. That was a big hit with everyone in the family. One of the highlights was hiking up to a waterfall on the lake that you can only reach by boat. There are a lot of steps down to the dock but it didn't bother anyone in our family. It's easy to stop and take a breather at the landings if needed. We hope to return again in the future.

Fantastic view, but that's it! Owner not responsive to complaint!
We received an email after booking, from the host asking if it was ok if one of the main floor bathrooms could be grouted while we were there. Given what we paid for 4 nights, we wanted the place to ourselves and replied we would prefer no-one else at the house.
This place is advertised as 4 bathrooms, we expected the bathrooms to be functioning. We arrived to discover it was not mere grouting, both bathrooms on the main floor were being remodeled. One bathroom was completely unusable with a pipe sticking out of the ceiling where the shower should be, obviously no shower faucet, visible wiring which my 5 year old attempted to grab and play with. The second bathroom on that floor included bare drywall in the shower, outside of the shower and again exposed electrical wires.
In the main bedroom on the top floor there was a pillow sticking out of the wall/ceiling where someone was attempting to make the other side of the wall a washroom. That's right, you did not miss-read - a pillow!!!
Before we chose this house, we read the reviews. One guy mentioned cobwebs. The owner contacted us to state that the house had been cleaned before we got there. Needless to say there were cobwebs on the ceiling and ants (the large kind) literally everywhere on the main floor and a few upstairs in the kids bedroom. Some were dead and had been there for a while..
The fridge-freezer hadn't obviously been replaced in some years as it wasn't cooling properly. The front of it (water dispenser) had a couple of screws holding it on.
On the first day my wife sent three text messages highlighting the items we were finding saying "we had some concerns". We received a text message stating "if you wish to leave, let me know, I am not offering any further discounts, you are looking for things to be wrong". We hadn't received any discount, mentioned refunds or money at that time so were literally astonished. We decided to get on with things as we were 600 miles from home. I called him and spoke about the fact that we were merely providing feedback, he offered an extra day which we accepted. We then got back to the house to hear he had called the house and spoken to my mother in law and stated that we were "harassing" him. The final straw, we decided to leave on the Friday planned (just before he texted saying the extra day was a no go).
Beware, the host is very difficult and the house inside is an equivalent 2 * hotel. Photos anyone?

Great Vacation Home
We loved our vacation at Driftwood Cove. My husband & I came with our three adult children, son’s girlfriend, daughter’s husband and 2 grandsons, aged 4 & 18 months. The home had plenty of space for all of us to enjoy. We loved the canoe and paddle boat and sitting on the dock enjoying the fall colors. We played games in the basement and living room and cooked all our meals in the house. We watched two football games (Go Chicago Bears!) and movies. We hiked, so many beautiful hikes in the area with waterfalls, many easy enough for the 4 year old and my daughter with the 18 month old in a backpack. (Check out All Trails App) We rented a boat from Nantahala Shores Boat Rentals. They brought the boat the night before and picked it up in the evening. The lake is calm and easy to get around. We hiked the falls across the lake twice, going up further the second time to a beautiful waterfall. We went twice to Wayah Bald observation tower, gorgeous views! On a rainy day, we went to Nantahala Outdoor Center, stopping first to get coffee at Cardinal Coffee in Bryson City - a bit further than NOC, but worth it! We got used to the winding roads we would be driving for the week on our way in, driving the Tail of the Dragon US129, that was a surprise! So fun to drive and see the motorcycles and cars driving this roadway. We planned for a long drive to the grocery store by bringing food for the first day and then going to the store the second day. The scenery in the area is beautiful and the home was great. Thanks, Karen & Mike!

Beautiful Lake, Comfortable and Spacious House
The location is toward the back of a quiet cove and the view is spectacular. The house was very comfortable for our family of 11, which included ages from 9-68. I especially loved the screened in porch overlooking the lake. We rented a boat from Nantahala Lake Marine and highly recommend this company. Although we loved every minute of this trip, it may not be for everyone. Note that there are 70+ steps from the house down to the dock, the drive to the house is on a narrow, winding road, and the driveway is very steep. For our family, none of these points mattered because the privacy and beauty of the area made this vacation one of our favorites. The house was not as clean as other rentals we have used in the past. The cookware was very worn and not of good quality, so I suggest bringing your own if you plan to cook meals in the home. The oven was in dire need of cleaning. That being said, the local house manager was very kind and checked in on us a few times during the week. He was aware of the items we felt were in need of cleaning and repair. We would consider renting this home again in the future.

One of my favorite rentals
This is the second time we’ve stayed on this property. The house is clean, well-equipped, and the owners are helpful and communicative. The location of this house on Lake Nantahala is also pretty prefect. From here one can easily canoe to both ends of the lake. Across the lake is Forest Service land, so your view is unobstructed by other houses. The availability of a canoe, paddles, and PFDs lets you travel light. There are also lots of beds in the house so invite family and friends to enjoy this idyllic retreat with you!

Our nephew's wedding was the main purpose of our vacation at Lake Nantahala. This property was the perfect choice as it was only a few miles from the venue.
The house was nicely furnished and well equipped. We enjoyed use of the canoe, paddle boat and ping pong table. Most of all we enjoyed being in such a peaceful location surrounded by nature. It was one of the most relaxing vacations we ever have had.

Quietude
We spent two delightful weeks at driftwood cove In early August to escape the heat in Tampa. We entertained family and friends and had as many as four couples for two nights. Plenty of room, cool temperatures and great views of the lake and the beautiful mountains. Must be spectacular in the fall. We’ve vacationed at all the nearby lakes and the lack of development around Nantahala is a wonderfully distinguishing characteristic. With that comes the downside of exciting mountain driving and far away shopping and restaurants. We came prepared based on the property description, and although we missed going out to dinner occasionally, we had a collection of wonderful cooks and some lively dinner debates that would undoubtedly have been inappropriate in a public space. Take your pick.
The house is beautiful, spacious and well equipped. We enjoyed a couple of fires just because we could,but it really wasn’t cool enough most nights. The wood burning fireplace is a rare treat I seek out, and it would be perfect in cooler weather. Lots of firewood suppliers in and around Andrews.
We fished twice with a local guide with poor results. I think the water temperature (76-78) slowed things down.
If you’re looking for cool quietude, driftwood cove is worth a visit. Good memories.

We are Floridians and Georgians that fell in love with the serenity of the mountains and Lake Nantahala - its an undiscovered gem - beautiful and peaceful.
この宿泊施設のオーナーになった理由
The location is unique, high elevation , clear clean lake, national forests surrounds half the lake, not a lot of boat traffic, close to whitewater rafting and hiking areas. There are very few pest bugs at this elevation. It is always 10 degrees cooler than Atlanta!
この宿泊施設の特徴
Lakefront with private boat dock. Love the ability to canoe around the cove area. The living room has a wall of glass and the minute you walk into the house there is a view of lake and mountains ,,, the water front is serene and unspoiled , not a lot of commercial areas yet not isolated . You have access to gravel roads for a great walk around the lake front for miles. There is a hidden waterfall across the lake - we enjoy boating there and walking the path to the falls, taking a swim in the brisk mountain water.
