    The Space:

    Nestled in Smokey Mountain National Park and the Nantahala National Forest, discover a true adventurer's retreat, The Ridge at Nantahala! Serene and beautiful no matter the season, this home overlooks Nantahala Lake and the season's many changing colors. When you aren't enjoying the mountain breeze and barbecuing, head for the local marina only two miles away and rent a boat, or cast your line at one of the area's fishing piers. Popular hotspots like the Appalachian Trail, Blue Ridge Parkway, Nantahala Outdoor Center, and Bryson City are within quick driving distance.



    Back at your stay, key features of the home include Natuzzi furnishings, high ceilings, unique wood finishes, and a wood-burning fireplace. The light-filled great room overlooks unforgettable views and provides the perfect spot to unwind, dine, and hang out with your favorite people. Steps from here, the full kitchen will delight the chef of your group with its ample meal prep space and full suite of appliances. The loft is available off this space and features additional sleeping quarters or a cozy hangout spot for the little ones. The four bedrooms are equally inviting, adorned with soft linens, private TVs, and wood furnishings. When you aren't taking a moment to yourself, head for the family room and start a puzzle. Additional interior amenities include a private washer/dryer, central air-conditioning, and dog beds. Outside, spread out and enjoy panoramic views from the two wrap-around decks.

Great

This cabin was amazing. The place was clean and exactly as described. Beds were comfortable and all amenities were great. The hot tub is a great addition. The internet can be a little spotty but that’s what you can expect when you’re in the middle of the mountains. The road up the hill to the house can be a little treacherous so just be ready for that.

Stinky dead rodent

The home is lovely and nicely furnished. It was clean when we arrived. There is no place to store food other than on the counters. There are no accessible closets or anywhere to hang clothes. We were only provided with one roll of paper towels and 4 rolls of toilet paper and so had to drive 30 minutes each way to purchase those. The area is very remote and there aren't any stores nearby. The home description states that all wheel drive is recommended. It should be more specific and detailed about the steepness and condition of the driveway. It is VERY steep and rough. I drive a truck with 4 wheel drive and it was rough even with that. My daughter got stuck and had to call a tow truck. The worst part is that there is a rodent problem. We could hear them moving and scratching around in the walls on the lower level and there is a very bad odor in the lower level master. Probably a dead rodent in the wall. We left a day early because of this.

The cabin was beautiful and looked the the pictures. We appreciated the amenities, although we wished the spa worked. It did have a sewage smell the entire time we were staying there, especially on the entire lower level. That was the main discomfort. We also wished we had a larger trash can outdoors. The cabin fits a lot of people so a bigger receptacle that accommodates the group size would have been helpful for landlords and renters.
