Dock House

This place is amazing! We loved the outside sitting area with the fireplace, TV and hot tub. The convenient location made it really easy to get to the wedding venue.

Dockhouse stay

The Dockhouse is really amazing. I was in with family for my daughter’s wedding at Nantahala and the location was perfect. It was spacious and had many things to do. The views of the lake from all over the house were breathtaking. The driveway is VERY steep so be aware but we made it work.

Amazing House

This is a wonderful property especially if you have kids. The views are spectacular from every single room and space. We enjoyed the outside fireplace, the dock and all of the amenities. The kitchen was well stocked and everything we needed was provided. I would stay here again and again.

Mountain Lake Fun

We loved this property. The house was perfect for 2 families, total of 9. We just loved having coffee on the deck overlooking the lake in the morning and enjoyed renting a pontoon boat and jet skis from the local marina. It’ secluded and peaceful. We definitely be back.

Wedding Weekend

The pictures do not do this place justice. Beautiful attention to detail and top rate luxury!! And a view to match. Mike was a responsive host. The house is close to the Nantahala wedding venue, which is why we were in town. We were able to watch Sunday football outside while enjoying a lovely fire. Perfect spot for relaxation with friends and family.

Fantastic family home

This house is as nice as it looks. Well laid out and clean. Deck was wonderful for jumping off and kayak’s were provided for boating. We did loads of fishing and hiking in the area. The host was very responsive and helpful during our stay. We cooked in all week and loved the kitchen and pool table. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Beautiful home with beautiful views

We absolutely loved our stay. The house is so pretty and well laid out with great amenities such as the hot tub and sauna. It really was one of our favorite vacation stays near the smokies. Property felt nice and secluded while still being within sight of other homes. The national park and the Biltmore were both ~1hr away which was perfect for us on days we wanted to get out of the house. Lovely people and lovely home! Looking forward to staying here again in the future!

Dock House

The location of the house is incredible! No mention the steep driveway and need for a small all wheel drive vehicle….very important! No mention you need to arrive before dark-critical. The house is very quirky and interesting. The refrigerator and freezer was dirty upon arrival. The chairs around the dining room table were cool looking but the cushions were beat and in need of replacement. The lazy susan in the kitchen was hanging by a screw and filthy inside. The remoteness of the area was fantastic. The Marina delivering a boat to the dock also amazing. The house from the driveway to the dock is very steep (somewhat obvious from the pictures) but no mention, not for elderly folk or the faint at heart. We enjoyed our stay despite the problems. The house is great- it needs a lot of TLC.

Lake Fun

It was a great set-up for our size group. The layout of the house was nice with the kitchen and living/game room all on the same floor. The steps down to the lake are not too steep, easy to go down and get back up. It has a very nice deck area and view of the lake. Communication with the owner was excellent as well!

Beautiful area and home!

Our family rented 4 cabins for our daughter’s wedding and while the others were nice, this one was the best and truly home away from home! It was clean, beautiful and had everything you needed. The pictures looked fine, but in-person you will be blown away by the beautiful views and layout of the home. We will come back again!

Exceeded expectations

This property was amazing! Once you get down the super steep driveway, you will be blown away by the view. It’s even better in person. Property was very clean. We had a small issue with the hot tub and the owner responded immediately and send someone out that night! We all want to stay here again.

Paradise on the lake

We've been staying on Nantahala lake for approximately 9 years now, each time we stay in a different house, and each one out doing the other... we reached the pinnacle Dockhouse by far has been the best house we hade ever stayed in. The views are the best on the lake It's location close to the marina is very convenient The house amenities are incredible. We came as a large family of 10 And everyone find a place to hang out, from the hot tub to the sauna abs the large dock on the lake. We cooked in the ample kitchen almost every night. We had the best time on our summer vacation this year and would stay here again every year if we could

Delightful Experience!

We recently stayed at The Dockhouse and had a delightful experience overall. The property was beautiful, and the view was simply incredible, making our stay truly memorable. The walk to the dock was simple and we loved that. There were, however, a few areas that could use some improvement to make it perfect. We noticed a minor leak under the kitchen sink, which was a bit inconvenient. Additionally, the kitchen cabinets and the laundry room could benefit from better organization. A little more attention to cleanliness and organization would significantly enhance the overall experience. Despite these minor issues, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to return next year.

Beautiful property, but not for seniors

I can't say enough about the amazing views from the massive deck and most rooms in the house. It was the highlight of the property. The house is family-friendly and was equipped with everything we needed for our stay. Bedrooms and family room were very comfortable. The pool table was a bonus! Nothing prepared us for the steep driveway access and many steps within the home. Our group ranged from 64-74 with some physical challenges. Not the homeowner's problem but something to be aware of. I recommend future renters confirm with the owner which amenities are operable. We experienced some disappointments. And, not all the furnishings are as pictured (most differences were positive). The rental agreement is extensive with renter obligations far beyond most rental properties.

Amazing property, best we’ve stayed at in Nantahala!

We had a party of 10 ranging from 16 to 78. This place had something for everyone. We brought a 21 ft boat and trailer and while the driveway was steep and daunting at first we were able to back down into the parking are and have 2 cars(mid and full size suv) at the bottom by the house with another mid way down with the trailer in the flat storage area that has plenty of storage for cars and trailer. Easiest way to the bottom is to back down so you can drive forward on your way out although I was able to spin the car at the bottom but only if there is only one car there. The great thing about this property is that it is very close to the lake. Only 27 steps to the dock which in this area is really nice. Dock is large and easy to dock. Room for 2, 20ft+ boats easy. It gets a little hot on bare feet mid day but splash some water and your are good. 3 kayaks there are a great addition. The views are spectacular from the deck, pavilion and every room. Kitchen was well stocked with everything you need to cook meals. Pavilion is cozy at night and we lit fires there or just hung out in the hot tub or couch. Main floor is great for activities and everythjng is accessible while still providing some separation between the pool table and tv area and the kitchen/dining area. Trash disposal is within a couple of miles as is the marina which is nice if you want to grab a meal, rent boats etc. can’t say enough about this place. Absolutely loved it! Thanks Mike!

Best House on the Lake

This was our family's 5th vacation to the lake and this was overall our favorite house and location. The view is stunning! Most houses are higher up in the trees and have an obscured view but Dock House has direct views all along the back of the house. The location of the house also makes access to the dock very close - only about 2 flights of stairs that are well-maintained. The composite dock is spacious and is in the sun from mid-late morning through the day which allows for plenty of fun in the sun. The outdoor covered area with hot tub is very relaxing. The hot tub is small - its meant for no more than 2-3 people. Our family enjoyed the layout of the house. The main floor which opens out onto the deck has the kitchen and living area with pool table. Many houses we've stayed in have the kitchen and small living area upstairs with a larger play area with pool table, etc. in the basement. We found that we rarely utilized the basement and really enjoyed having all the living space on the main floor together. Our kids enjoyed the large 3rd floor loft but note that there is no bathroom up there. They used the 2nd floor master bathrooms which was no problem for us. We used the gas grill several nights - the thermometer on top did not work but it did not affect the grill working fine. The kitchen had everything that we needed to cook but you will need to bring all disposable products with you - aluminum foil, cling wrap, plastic sandwich bags, tupperware.

Beautiful and Relaxing

This house is in a lovely lake setting and it is beautiful sitting on the deck or the dock in the mornings and evenings. It has a rustic decor using very natural materials as shown in the pictures. The master is on front entry level to the lake side. Across the hall is the sauna. There is another bedroom off the entry that opens to a large bath which also opens to the entry. Upstairs is a bedroom that easily sleeps 6 with a full bed and bunk full bed. This has been updated since the photos I see online. These rooms have magnificent lake views. Downstairs is the kitchen/dining with a fireplace. To the left is a living area with a pool table. To the right is the 4th bedroom and a bathroom. The bedroom has a lake view window, but it is on the side of the room. There is a laundry room off the kitchen. As clearly noted, this driveway is very steep. Might be a challenge for the faint of heart. There are many stairs at this house given it's on the side of the mountain. I think one of our party counted 27 steps from the deck to the dock. It is so relaxing to be staying in this home. You can view the lake and the outdoor TV from the hot tub. We had day trips planned, or we would have spent much more time at the house. Groceries are basically 30 minutes away and we picked up necessary items before returning from our first day trip. We had an issue with hot water-it worked, but was finicky to get started. The owner was on top of it, but the part was delayed in arriving.

This house is amazing. We brought our boat and had no problem putting it in at the free public boat launch which was just around the corner. The dock is new and in great shape. The kids fished and jumped off it. There is not a lot of houses on the lake and thus not much boat traffic. There is one little restaurant that has a marina. The food was pretty good but you have to bring your own alcohol. They will deliver you pizza by boat to your house. Pretty cool. The driveway is very steep but there is room to park towards the top. If backing up and down hills is an issue for you this is not the house for you. Everything was clean and well maintained. Michael was attentive and answered all my questions. The beds were very comfortable. The area is very remote and not close to much to do. So if you are looking for close proximity to amusements this is also not a house for you. Andrews is a half hour away and they have a good brewery, bar, and a coffee hut. We had a great time and really enjoyed our stay.
