Luxury Lakefront Lodge in Gated Community

Welcome to a home of 5,800 sq ft of pure luxurious comfort located in a prestigious gated community, secluded yet about 20 minutes from the quaint town of Andrews, NC. This is one of the largest and most magnificent homes on Lake Nantahala with breathtaking views from all over the house. These views are even more incredible while canoeing or just hanging out with family or friends right from the private floating dock.

Spend your days basking in the sun, swimming, canoeing, hiking, mountain biking, antiquing nearby, white water rafting, horseback riding or simply relaxing in the large hammock. The gourmet cook w/ love our large kitchen that includes top of the line stainless appliances, Jenn-Air grill, double oven, etc. After dinner relax by the fire, watch a movie on our 60" TV, stargaze from the upper deck or relax in the hot tub on the lower deck while the children play games or air hockey etc.

For the boaters, we have a pontoon boat available upon request.

Wonderful remote location on the lake
As other reviews have said, this is a gorgeous location on the lake. The views are incredible. The house is custom and beautifully constructed. The house is in overall good condition though it has a variety of minor deferred maintenance issues (missing paint, leaking faucets, etc). Todd was very responsive to questions and drove up from Atlanta to troubleshoot the boat that wasn't starting properly once the engine was hot. A few things to be aware of that were not on the listing: 1. There is a charge for the boat. 2. Cell coverage is terrible in the area. Verizon and AT&T both have minimal coverage at the house and none on the lake or on the roads in the area. T-Mobile has no coverage at all. 3. Wi-Fi connection is slow and they tell you to only use it minimally because they are limited to only a few GB per month. 4. The house is 30 minutes or more from the nearest towns with grocery stores (Franklin or Topton) or major highways. The house itself has a very steep paved driveway. Then there's a half mile of well maintained single lane gravel road, then about 15 miles of narrow windy paved mountain roads to get back to the highway. So, in short, if you're looking for a gorgeous home in a beautiful location with a great excuse to disconnect from the rest of the world, this place is perfect.

Exactly as promised!
2 weeks and it still wasn’t enough! Todd and Dana were great hosts prior to and during our stay. This house is top notch, great location, amenities and spacious enough for a group of 11 including four kids under 13. The kids room was perfect for all of their late night shenanigans. We fished, cruised the lake, tubed, hiked to the waterfalls, went white water rafting and took a trip to Wayah Bald and took in spectacular views! Could not ask for more!

Beautiful and Peaceful place
The house is located on the Nantahala Lake which is a sweet water lake. It was so nice to stay at this place and enjoy every minute without cell service thus no interruptions from the rest of the world. The quietness is so relaxing and the night sky full of stars - it was amazing to see what your eyes can only see. I do not know if it matters but when we stayed there there was NOT even one mosquito! Definitely hope to be back there some day. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy what this place has to offer.

Family vacation
We stayed at multiple houses around the area, and this house was one of the best. Spacious, with enough bedrooms for everyone. Very clean and fully equipped. Perfect location right on the lake, with an included pontoon boat. You don’t have to worry about renting and returning a boat from the marina (big plus). The satellite internet was slow, but just perfect to stay connected when needed. If you complain about slow internet at a lake house, don’t go to a lake house 😊. Hot tub was great, fully functional. Only complaint about the house, it would be nice if the deck was covered, so when it rains you could still sit outside.

Lovely house on an exquisite lake
Lake Nantahala isn’t close to much of anything, but once you’ve dealt with the logistics of being remote (for instance, 35 minutes to the nearest grocery store), you can’t ask for much more than what this house and location provide. Plenty of space, well appointed kitchen, big bedrooms, great decks. And the lake! I’d highly recommend this house to anyone interested in boating, hiking, or just relaxing. Other reviewers have noted that the Internet can be spotty, so we did prepare for that ahead of time with some downloaded videos for the little ones, but in actuality we had no Internet issues whatsoever since we were never taxing the service with lots of devices. One last bit of advice: if you can, try and arrive your first time before nightfall. Lake shore Drive is narrow and a little steep in places, so it may be intimidating if you arrive at night. Overall, we had a wonderful experience. Thanks to Dana and Todd!

Less than expected
The location was great. Access to the dock was easy and having a boat was perfect. The house was clean and spacious for our family of 12. However, considering the high cost of the rental, we were very disappointed that the advertised WiFi was limited along with other issues. When we checked in were told we wouldn’t be able to stream movies due to a limited amount of band width. Also numerous light bulbs were out, Ice maker dispenser did not work, oven display did not work making using the oven a challenge. We heard animals in the second floor attic and Contacted the owner but no action was taken. There were some problems with the hot tub. Although the owner met us at check in there were no written instructions for using the property nor checkout instructions. No guides for the area, things to do, see, shopping, restaurants, hiking etc. like we have found in all other places we have rented. Due to limited cell service we were shocked to find the house phone did not work as a backup for an emergency.
