Top Nantahala Lake Hotel Reviews

Modern Cabin walking distance to Lake Nantahala Views. No lake access. Hot Tub

10/10 Excellent

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Everything was just as advertised and our host was very communicative. As bikers the location is great. The road directly into the property is a little gravelly and takes skill to ride in and out but definitely doable. We have already booked our next stay."

Fall colors,mountain views, family-friendly cabin, hot tub, kayaks, on two acres

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean, great location, family friendly. Host had great communication. Loved the pool table, grill, hot tub, view, and arcade. Very spacious. Great price! Would definitely stay again. The only negative and it’s not really even a negative (because the property was probably listed as pet friendly), I’m allergic to dogs and I could tell someone had dogs on the bottom level cloth furniture. It wasn’t too bad, though. I just pulled a chair in and sat on that while we were all hanging out down stairs. I came with my mom and sister and their spouses. I would love to return with my kids and their spouses!"
