This is a great property that is close to hiking/biking/paddling, but yet secluded and quiet. We loved hanging out on the porch overlooking the lake, enjoyed the hot tub, grilled out and hung out on the comfortable deck furniture, and just generally appreciated the lovely setting. The property is kind of "modern rustic," in that it's got a cabin feeling but with more conveniences than we might have expected. Alex is very attentive and helpful, and the fireworks over the lake on July 4th were a great bonus! We explored nearby Wayah Bald, biked in the Nantahala National Forest, kayaked the Nantahala, and drove/hiked our way up and around the Cherohala Skyway. All of these things are very close by. And right down the hill from the property is a marina and a restaurant. We didn't visit there, but it was literally right down the hill from the cabin, far enough away to be private but super convenient if you wanted to walk down. We'd highly recommend this property!
