Vacation rentals with lake access in Swain County

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.

This was such a sweet stay and we wish we could have stayed longer! Beautiful location - my husband enjoyed fly fishing during the day on the water and I was only 20 minutes from kayaking at the NOC. The house was very clean - tidy bathroom and kitchen with all your basics stocked to get you started. Hot tub was lovely and very clean! There is a steeper drop off next to the outside firepit so I would be mindful with little children. Easy check in and they were very flexible and responsive when we had some crazy weather pop up nearby. We will be back again and hopefully stay a little longer!

We had the most amazing and relaxing time on the property, everything was clean and gorgeous. The sound of the river was wonderful and a great way to relax as well as being beautiful. The home was also well stocked with everything we needed to prepare meals. The porch was a little oasis from the home itself and you could sleep out there it was so calming. The owners Dawn and Randall were very communicative and accommodating and made this process as easy as possible! We are definitely coming back to the area and would love to reserve this place again. 5/5 stars

Great place to stay. Perfect size for three people, and includes a pull out sofa which was more comfortable than expected. There is also a heated/air-conditioned 4-seasons room off the front bedroom that could accommodate an inflatable mattress if need be. Direct access to the Lake in the Sky is wonderful and so peaceful. If it has been raining or rain is expected, make sure to bring your mud boots, as the path to the dock can get pretty swampy. Overall a great experience and we will definitely be coming back!

We absolutly loved Suzy's place. With any cabin in the woods, yes there are going to be ants. As long as your responsible with your food (don't leave it out, leave open food hanging around) you will be fine. This is not the place to go if you don't like bug or bees. for a Cabin in the woods, it was perfect! The lake front was BEAUTIFUL. Our last night there, there was a thunderstorm with heavy rain. add the open windows and it was bliss! definitely considering making this a yearly trip! Thank you Suzy!

Becky was a great host and answered every question we asked promptly. The check in was easy and the house had every item you needed in the kitchen. Along with plenty of towels for the bathrooms. The house was right on the water with a dock. I would definitely book from Becky again.

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.

Loved the place and it was fairly easy to find. I had no issues the entire time. It was exactly where I needed to be and it was nice that the checkin was flexible because we didn't hit as much traffic as we thought we would on the way up there and got in a few hours early.

Great location in Townsend to visit the Smoky Mountains! We had an amazing time here and the place was very cozy to come back to every night.

The loft is beautiful and SO clean. We often have allergy issues with airbnbs but not this trip! So clean. Absolutely love being right on the river stream, too. So peaceful.

Loved it all -- Strawberry was welcoming, responsive, and friendly. The space was beautiful and peaceful, and the pub downstairs a lovely plus. A wonderful respite from the touristy Pigeon Forge & Gatlinburg areas and great access to hiking in the Smokies. Thank you, Strawberry!

Great location! Beautiful surroundings! Fluffy towels, great amenities! We will definitely be back and book the room facing the beautiful river!

My stay was just what my soul needed! The inside was perfect with the beautiful logs and stone fireplace. Looking off the deck was just magical with the sound of the river and the hanging lights. Can't wait to go back and explore more of the mountains and fun places to grab a bite!

Wonderful, friendly, and responsive host! Apartment itself was exactly as described. The walls were quite thin; you can hear your neighbors very clearly. That being said, the host has made a point to emphasize quiet hours, which were mostly respected by the other guests.

Very clean, had everything we needed, great location. Would definitely return and recommend!

The Strawberry patch is the perfect location to stay and explore Cades Cove and the Smoky mountains. It was quiet and relaxing, away from all the craziness of Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge. It had everything we needed and close to a grocery store and gas station. Wish we had more time there. Next time we will bring the kids and stay longer so we can enjoy the river and backyard. We had a great stay!!

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

Nice, clean, peaceful, private, relaxing, and as described, except for internet. I did log onto the house wifi. The wifi was not connected to the internet. I had less than one bar of cell service. There was a wired land line phone on the wall, which had no dial tone. There were many notes with help phone numbers, but no way to call. Because I was seeking a quiet retreat, I did not mind this.

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!!

This was our second time staying at this beautiful lakefront home, and it’s our favorite home on Lake Santeetlah. The location is unbeatable. It’s tucked into a quiet, peaceful cove that feels like your own private slice of the lake. The home is incredibly well thought out. It’s comfortably and stylishly furnished inside and stocked with everything you need to enjoy the lake: kayaks, paddleboards, floats, and more. Inside is also thoughtfully furnished with everything you might need. We especially loved the new screened-in porch. It’s the perfect spot for morning coffee, reading, afternoon rainstorms, dinner, or just soaking in the view without bugs. You can really feel the care and intention in this home. Every stay has been relaxing, easy, and memorable. Thank you for sharing this slice of heaven with us! We’re already looking forward to our next visit.

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.

Susan’s home is absolutely stunning. An exceptional mountain top home. You truly feel you are above the clouds. Incredible views all throughout the cabin with an extremely cozy interior with the true cabin feel. Would highly recommend someone has a vehicle with 4WD or AWD to ensure easy access up the last few gravel hills & steel driveway to the property. Susan and Jessey were very much in communication and helpful with any questions one could have.
