Vacation rentals with lake access in Graham County

This is a really special place. My family and I had the most wonderful visit and would happily return! The property was perfectly appointed with everything we could need the space was very comfortable and felt like home. The setting is remarkable, so private and peaceful. Though the neighbors we met were lovely too. I loved the mix of updated and older style, it reminded me in many ways of my grandparents beach home but with modern comfort. We loved it.

Had a great stay at here, plenty of space and great location, fairly close to tail of the dragon and other great roads like blue ridge parkway. Would recommend this to anyone.

Daniel and Anna were GREAT host. The home was clean, quite and a great location for motorcycle riding. We loved it and would love to go back.

Everything about this house was absolutely wonderful! We had a stroke of bad luck passing around stomach flu which one of our kids brought home from school right before our trip, so we ended up staying in a couple of days. All the board games, ping pong, air hockey, ring toss and magnet darts made our stay so much better! Once we were able to get out, kayaking was a blast! What a great little spot. Very reasonably priced for everything offered!

This is the kind of place AirBnb was made for. Such a homey space with unique style and personal touches. We enjoyed disconnecting and relaxing inside and out during our stay. The place was well kepted and well equipped for a laid-back long weekend. It was clearing kept clean and tidy but it did have a strong musty smell when we arrived. It mostly aired out after a day with the windows open, but I have to warn others as I know it can be a big issue for some. However, my husband, pups, and I wouldn't pass up the chance to stay again when we want to visit Lake Fontana.

Great location and very peaceful. Extremely clean and well stocked. We stayed in the winter, so the lake was low, but we knew that going in. Parking and stairs down to the door can be a little trickey, especially at night. As others have said, dont bring a boat to the property but take it to a marina. There is limited ability to turn around. Would certainly stay again.

We had a wonderful stay with extended family. We have been coming to Santeetlah for over 20 years and it's beauty is always magnificent and peaceful. More than enough space for everyone to enjoy together or in private. We cooked just about every night of our 2 week stay, except for a couple of treat nights at Topoco Lodge, which we love. Star gazing off the deck, breakfast on the quiet gorgeous lake and convenient private dock for our rented pontoon boat. Beds were very comfortable and host was responsive to the one problem we had with hot water - was addressed and fixed promptly. Note that there are a lot of stairs to access the entry of the house (not that unusual for Lake Santeetlah, but if you're new to the area it's important to know). We will be back!

We felt so fortunate to have found this place. The house was perfect for the family. Beautiful spaces inside and outdoors. Nothing more relaxing than this placid lake, its quiet atmosphere and splendid views. The full moon was amazing. The Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest--our reason for coming--was everything we had expected, and more. With its giant poplars, and the mysterious world of fungi and fertile fallen trees, we loved every step of the loop trail. This home is a perfect place to get away from everything. So comfortable and relaxing, with simple good taste. Michelle's notes, care of details and suggestions made us feel at home right away. We look forward to going back at the next opportunity! By the way: the Internet worked great. And we even watched a movie on TV. Our thanks to Michelle and Kirk!

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage! Lake Nantahala is absolutely beautiful and the cabin was wonderful for a quick getaway. The porch overlooking the lake is perfect for enjoying the fresh air and while the walk down to the lake is steep the steps and pathway made it really easy. The space was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. Our favorite part of cabin was sitting on the dock in the adirondack chairs! Would definitely recommend if looking in this area!

we really enjoyed our stay at the cabin, every thing was perfect. it was quiet peaceful and the screened in porch was amazong. we would definitely stay here again.

Good value place for exploring the national parks and forests nearby. Everything was as featured in the listing

We spent Easter weekend here. As we drove in the wild azaleas and dogwoods were blooming, and everything afterwards was just as beautiful and peaceful. My teenagers loved kayaking and my daughter liked the pond so well she slept on the daybed on the porch. I appreciated the feather pillows and reverse osmosis water. Attention has been paid to every detail. I called my Nana to show her the antique desks. My small children enjoyed the toys and my middle son using the pully bucket on the porch. My daughter celebrated a birthday over our stay, more movie guests showed up than expected and I just couldn't turn these kids away. Our hosts were so kind. They of course charged a little extra as was clearly understood via the contract, they were very understanding and polite. The lock to the boat seems to be jamed, the downstairs fireplace is currently non operational, and I'm not sure I'll get back a thumb drive I forgot, but this family has worked hard to create really special place. Five star

We loved our stay at Terry's place in the beautiful mountains of western NC! His place is super comfortable, bright, and convenient to everything. Terry was very responsive and a pleasure to deal with. We would definitely stay again!

This lake house was so clean and comfortable! The beds, pillows, blankets, and furniture were all lounge worthy!! The house had everything you could ask for and more! There were plenty of towels, tons of lake toys, a well-stocked kitchen, and plenty of seating inside and out on the deck to enjoy the beautiful views of the lake. The setup of 2 bedrooms upstairs & 2 downstairs was great for our multi-generation vacation. We had a fantastic family vacation at Lake Santeetlah. We would definitely recommend this house and hope to stay here again the next time we make it back to our favorite lake!!

We ended up extending our stay so we spent 8 nights here in total. This is a quintessential lake house. The pictures honestly do not do it justice, the cabin is beautiful with incredible views. The gorgeous mountain/lake view was enjoyed through both the giant floor to ceiling window in the living room and from the screened in porch where we at dinner almost every night. Stephanie is an incredible hostess who has stocked the cabin with everything you need, and everything you forgot! We had the great pleasure of meeting her during our stay and she ended up volunteering to be one of the witnesses at our lake elopement, so she’s now part of some very special memories! We had a few fires in the fireplace, paddled around the lake a few times in the provided kayaks, and enjoyed hanging out on the dock w/our dogs. The internet was fast and the bed was fantastic. We’ve stayed at a handful of houses on this enchanting lake over the years and this is hands down our favorite. Do not hesitate :)

Wonderful spot, loved the cabin andthe kayaks and private doc.
