Recent Nantahala National Forest vacation rental reviews

The view is priceless! We enjoyed a pleasant and peaceful stay.
Christy S. | Jul 2024
This home has amazing views. You are on top of the Mountain so yes the driveway was long and mountainous but we had no issues in our SUV. Clean and comfortable stay. Temps were so much cooler. We had an amazing tranquil stay. If looking for a place to enjoy nature and the quiet this is it.
Lori S. | Jul 2024
We loved our stay at this wonderful mountain getaway. It is clean, roomy, and conveniently located to the train station, grocery store, and restaurants. Every bedroom has a large private bathroom. The kitchen is fully equipped and has modern appliances. We enjoyed having meals outside on the deck. We would definitely consider this rental again if staying in the area.
