Photos and Description of the Lake Nantahala vacation cabin rental 1 Master BR, 1 BA, 1 Queen Futon, sleeping loft, Sleeps 4 adults, 4 children

We can't adequately describe how peaceful it is to sit on the deck and watch the sun rise over the Smokey Mountains. With the Nantahala National Forest as our back yard, this new log cabin is the perfect secluded nature getaway! After getting one of the best nights sleep you’ve ever had - try fishing in the highest elevation lake east of the Mississippi (Nantahala Lake- 1 mile down the road) or hike the nearby Appalachian and Bartram Trails. Area activities also include whitewater rafting, mountain biking, kayaking, hunting, golfing, swimming, sight seeing, and more. We’ve got some DVD’s in case it rains and the towns of Andrews and Murphy are just a short drive away if you don’t want to cook your own meals.

Car: necessary
Our new log cabin is nestled in the mountains bordering the Nantahala National Forest on the edge of Nantahala Lake - between Franklin and Andrews North Carolina. Just off of Junaluska Road, we are in an ideal location for hiking, fishing, boating, and swimming. We’re literally within 5 minutes of the Appalachian and Bartram Hiking trails, several mountain bike trails, and lots of little stream crossings. If you’re into scenic drives or motorcycling – the area is flooded with world famous drives - including the infamous 'Tail of the Dragon', Cherahola Skyway, and the Smokey Mountain Parkway. Hunting season is incredible around this area. Wild Turkey, Deer, and Black Bear are just a few of the choices. If you’d rather be outdoors than anywhere else, then this is the area for you. Other than where we currently live – Alaska, I can’t think of a better place. Oh, if you don’t like to cook your own meals or forgot a favorite fishing lure, the town of Andrews is only 15 minutes away.

Further details for this vacation cabin rental in Lake Nantahala, North Carolina

Driving Conditions/Drive Way: All but the last 800 feet of the driveway are well maintained paved roads and completely accessible. We have gone to great lengths to make the cabin accessible, but we can not guarantee your vehicle will have traction necessary to pull you up our steep gravel driveway. Therefore, we HIGHLY recommend 4 wheel drive. If you do experience slipping on the gravel drive we ask that you do not force it - thereby creating ruts and loosening the gravel for future renters. The ruts eventually fill with rain water runoff and can create less than friendly driving conditions. Instead we ask that you park at the bottom and walk the short distance to the cabin. This is a typical request for mountain cabins - and not an unreasonable expectation. Again - all but the last 800 feet of the driveway are well maintained paved roads and completely accessible. We are in the mountains, therefore curvy, steep roads are the norm. Drive with caution you 'Florida Gaters!'

Renting Online: If you're reading this then you're ahead of the game when it comes to online renting. We have tried to make the process as simple as possible. When we were building our own cabin we rented through the internet dozens of cabins and each had their own system of record keeping, deposits, fees, etc. Once we have been contacted through this 'Make a reservation' or 'Contact the owner' process - we'll email you back a few files (Microsoft Word Documents) that contain our rental rules and a reservation request. You'll then have to respond and accept the terms. An email back with the phrase, 'we accept the terms of the rental agreement' is considered adequate. You will then receive a second email from me with the credit card link - or a link to use Paypal. Once we have received confirmation of the payment we will email you a very detailed set of directions to the cabin and the key box code for entry into the cabin.

August 1-3, 2008 Escape

MooneyMan Wilson, NC
Review Submitted: August 9, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
Great weekend getaway away from the hectic working life. We stopped in town and stocked up on food and beverages for the weekend. Since the cabin has all of the amenties (stove, microwave, oven, refrigerator, sink, washer/dryer, patio grill, full bathroom, air conditioning and heat) there's no need to leave this beautiful mountainside cabin once you get there. Just enjoy the getaway and leave your phone and desire to watch tv behind. The cabin stocked with plenty of towels, so you don't have to worry about bringing your own towels and linens. By the way, the cabin looks brand new and is very clean. It really is an adventerous escape for two or for a small family with one or two kids. If you are flying your private plane in, Andrews-Murphy (RHP) is a well equipped airport with good service and nice, new rental cars. However, thorough pre-flight planning is necessary for this mountain airport . We'll be back again - with the kids next time.

NC Vacation

Dave From PSL Port St. Lucie Fl
Review Submitted: January 10, 2008 Date of Stay: December 2007
It is a lovly cabin, but it is famous for it’s driveway. We promptly started having issues with the famous 800Ft driveway… the car could not go up it even if its life depended on it. David tried first with the fully loaded car… no luck, so we carried the luggage all the way up the driveway. After our first trip up it, David had chest pains and told me to try to get the car up one more time… well, I tried. I was not able to get to the first landing, and I did something dumb, I backed down the mountain, and David was yelling at me the whole time to stop, but I had never heard him. I opened the door to check on my status, and I finally heard him when I was just about all the way back down, and unfortunately, I got distracted and ended up in the ditch.
The owner of the cabin’s uncle happen to come home a few hours later and he pulled me out, but I ended up with a damaged bumper cause I slammed into his trailer hitch. However, David and I didn’t care, the car was out and the nice man and his family were a true blessing to us. David cooked us a nice batch of really spicy spaghetti and I ended up with really sore legs and arms. Ohhh…. We had the car park at the very bottom of the driveway from then on, lol.

The next day it rained and we got nothing done. The following day though, We got up and hit the road bright and early. David was determined to show Calvin some snow. We spent the whole day exploring mountains and taking beautiful pictures. There was no snow unfortunately, but that is alright. The beauty of the mountains was exciting enough.

However, I don’t know why, but the next day it poured all day again. The following day, the 31st of December, we went to Chimney Rock.

Chimney Rock was a lot of fun and I enjoyed it very much. We took some good pictures of a water fall.
Owner's Response: It's quite an adventure - but as you can see from our guests - it's worth the trip!

Mike,

Wow! What a great vacation.

You have a great place, very secluded but close to some great activities. Thursday we rented a pontoon boat from John. What a beautiful lake. We did not raft the the river, but will next time.

I mowed the grass around the fire pit area. Also enhanced the fire pit with larger rocks, a little safer and looks good.

My Dodge would have not made it up the driveway, but the Suburban did fine. Thanks for not sugar coating the driveway.

Thanks again, hopefully we can visit your cabin again soon,

Alan and Stacey

Mike, Thanks for checking on us. Many thanks for allowing us to share your cabin up in the woods. We found it, alas but with some trouble. We came up through Franklin, and after a little trouble found our way over 1310 to Juneleska. Wow, that 1310 mountain is crazy high!!But beautiful ride. We loved the cabin! Simply adorable. So very pleasant that you all had stocked the extras that one needs with having to buy, spices, papertowels, butter, condiments, etc. we left some stuff too,I bet you will find most people will also leave behind for the next folk, just as someone did before them. It was much colder than we had expected, ran the heater all night. Didn't discover the other heater until Saturday morning. It did snow Friday night almost 4inch I would say. Was really pretty, but we were not prepared, didn't have much food and was not sure we could get down the drive much less little choga. Sat morn, still snowing and very cold, when we got up couldn't find a station with much weather info other than going to the teens. We waited until snow melted enough to leave. Just could not take the chance that we might get stuck on mountain,Easter morng, so we had to pack up and leave early. We were all sad about having to leave, but I must admit, me, my mother and my youngest daughter were NOT sad about the fact we wouldn't be going over little choga again! Very scary, road in normal conditions.much less snow and ice. I was disappointed that we were not closer to the vast amounts of antique shops, I saw coming in, and it seemed we were really far from much to do. Made it to NOC, was really cold not many rafters. Tried to ridge horseback, couldn't get a reservation, except for the one we missed due to being snowed in Sat am early. Finally found Bryson City, and felt better. Nice little town great charm. Loved the Italian rest there. Sat after we left, went all the way back around to Cherokee, down through Dillsboro and Franklin. Everything was closed by the time we made it there. We did take kids to trout farm right off junelseka, they loved that. I sure hated to waste one of our nights, as did my family. We live near Atlanta and the city, as I may have mentioned this was our First ever cabin rental, I was not really expecting such a remote place,not having phone service was scary, I have cingular and I cant think of many times I haven't had service, this was a first for us. but we enjoyed the cabin itself, and would like to have one of our own one someday in north Ga.
