This is our 3rd year being at Lake Nantahala for the week of 4th of July, but our first time staying at Dave and Casey's place. Communication was great, Dave gave me a call the week before our arrival and went over the house, the access, the nuisances of the house and what to expect. The house was exactly what we expected per the description and pictures. We also received a welcome pack from Casey through VRBO with very detailed instructions, check out list and things to do in the area. The location on the lake is great, the house has a great view and it is 10 minutes closer to Andrews for groceries than the previous house we stayed in on Indian Lake Rd. Compared with other houses in this neighborhood, the view was totally clear of the lake (no trees blocking view) and the house sits down closer to the lake so there are fewer stairs in comparison to other houses in Nantahala Shores to get down to the water. Of note, there are a lot of stairs to carry luggage and groceries down to from the parking area to the front door. We are a family of 4 and there was plenty of room. We brought our boat and the dock was perfect for parking it. We spent a lot of time out on the water, the lake is our favorite place to vacation! The kids really enjoy rope swing island, the marina, fishing and cruising around on the boat on a tube or knee board. You can rent boats from Lakes's End Marina but book way in advance! Overall, we had a great vacation and the house had everything we needed! Thanks Dave and Casey!
