Kingfisher's Roost - Waterfront Cabin/Private Dock

ShelbyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This was such a sweet stay and we wish we could have stayed longer! Beautiful location - my husband enjoyed fly fishing during the day on the water and I was only 20 minutes from kayaking at the NOC. The house was very clean - tidy bathroom and kitchen with all your basics stocked to get you started. Hot tub was lovely and very clean! There is a steeper drop off next to the outside firepit so I would be mindful with little children. Easy check in and they were very flexible and responsive when we had some crazy weather pop up nearby. We will be back again and hopefully stay a little longer!

Lake Life on Santeetlah

EricaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
The house is on a quiet cove of the lake, and the views from the house are spectacular in the Spring. We enjoyed kayaking and looking at the stars from the dock. I'd love to go back in the summer when we can enjoy jumping in the water and floating all day on the lake. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook with a brand new grill.

Waterside Home, Hot tub, Fireplace, WiFi, Dog-OK

IndyaRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
I enjoyed this place 100%. Clean space, some privacy, extremely peaceful. Matt was super proactive in letting us know of the current events that could affect our stay, such as open fire bans. so therefore we could not use the fire pit. However, We enjoyed the scenery, the hot tub, the grill and other outside adventures. I would highly recommend staying here & I would definitely book with Matt again during a different season!

Even in the rain, this place is beautiful. We went to Tuckaleechee Caverns on our way to the condo- highly recommend too. There was trail heads 20 minutes away at Middle Prong- beautiful drive- lots of scenic stops, and we even had a chance to walk a bit. Excellent place to stay! Near food and groceries. The balcony sites and sounds are amazing.

Ground Floor Casino Suite w/Hot tub and Fire Pit.

JessicaRating, 5 stars6 months ago
We loved our stay! The place was clean, the bedroom in the picture does not do it justice it is very nice in person! The hot tub does take a while (little over an hour) to heat up but feels great on a chilly morning or evening. They have coffee but no sugar or creamer that i could find but we drank ours black so that was not a problem for us. (just be sure to bring that) The only issue we had as apple users was navigating to the house. You have to manually enter the address, if you just click on it from airbnb and “open in apple maps” it will take you to a totally different house (oopsđŸ€Ł) also this is a shared house so you may hear footsteps or noise from upstairs, but that is just the nature of renting a place like this!

Doler Cottage, Lakefront Private Dock

RiverRating, 5 stars6 months ago
Nice, clean, peaceful, private, relaxing, and as described, except for internet. I did log onto the house wifi. The wifi was not connected to the internet. I had less than one bar of cell service. There was a wired land line phone on the wall, which had no dial tone. There were many notes with help phone numbers, but no way to call. Because I was seeking a quiet retreat, I did not mind this.

The beds and pillows were SUPER comfortable, felt like I was at home!

This cozy, beautiful spot is a treasure! Kim was very attentive to details in creating a space that is welcoming and feels like home. The kitchen was well equipped, decor blends modern and mountain cottage. Plenty to entertain at the house or nearby. The description helped us know how to best plan our visit to the area and there were great tips and maps at the house too. Beautiful scenery and a great place to enjoy birds, fall foliage, hiking and much more. So thankful for a great getaway!

Dock Holiday House

JohnathanRating, 5 stars6 months ago
Motorcycle trailer friendly parking which is great considering the roads in the area. I had no problem getting my truck and 10ft enclosed trailer there and parked. Great house and neighborhood. We were allowed to check in early which was awesome. The house was stocked with lots of snacks and items that you may forget or need. The layout of the house is nice for 2 separate groups as you would each have your own end of the house and bathroom. My mom stayed at the house and enjoyed the lake view while the rest of us rode motorcycles.

Sundance Cottage-Panoramic View and Lake Access

AustinRating, 5 stars5 months ago
Susan’s home is absolutely stunning. An exceptional mountain top home. You truly feel you are above the clouds. Incredible views all throughout the cabin with an extremely cozy interior with the true cabin feel. Would highly recommend someone has a vehicle with 4WD or AWD to ensure easy access up the last few gravel hills & steel driveway to the property. Susan and Jessey were very much in communication and helpful with any questions one could have.
