Cozy Lake-front cabin with a private dock and beautiful views on Lake Santeetlah

Welcome to your home away from home located on Lake Santeetlah! This is a lake-front property in a quiet cove with a private dock and beautiful views.

This beautiful lake-front home includes two levels, each with living rooms with beautiful views of the Lake. The main (upstairs) living room has a large stone wall with wood burning stove, completely hand-built wooden walls, an entertainment center and just steps to a large covered deck with a beautiful porch swing!

The downstairs can be utilized as a complete apartment - there is one bedroom with a mini kitchenette and bathroom, as well as a living area with a TV and pullout couch bed. The downstairs living area has access to a lake-front porch as well, with two layout chairs and a picnic table!

The kitchen has been remodeled with a new dishwasher, refrigerator,stove ,sink and floors but includes original, vintage cabinets. We provide high-speed internet service, however Lake Santeetlah is somewhat of a rural area and outages can occur. We are not responsible for any outages but they are typically resolved fairly quickly.

The marina is right at the entrance of the mountain and they have boats and jet skis available to rent. We provide a canoe and stand-up paddleboard included with rental. Lake Santeetlah is a perfect place for water sports, relaxing on the water, fishing and there are endless hikes, trails, and waterfalls nearby. There is 80 miles of shoreline and the lake is surrounded by the Che-oh and Natahala National Forests.

My home is full of character from all of the furtniture and decor I have collected over the years and we are dedicated to maintaining a “cozy lake” feeling. We want you to feel at home like our family has for many years!
I pray that you enjoy this home as much as we have over the last 30 years.

Relaxing Long Weekend with a Beautiful View!
Amazing location! The view out the family room window was spectacular. A very easy place to relax! We rented a fishing kayak for my stepson. He fished for hours, even in the rain. I stayed inside enjoying the view, drinking coffee, and putting together a puzzle. We can’t wait to go back!

TLC Needed
Property was nice. Lake was beautiful. However, property needs a bit of maintenance. Beds are in need of replacement. Several places where paint is peeling. Carpets have several spots and floors had not been mopped. House was comfortable but definitely needed a bit of TLC.

Nice cabin
I had a few travel issues just getting to the cabin. None of which involved the cabin or directions. My boat decided to fail the first morning, my phone fell into the lake. All that and I had a nice vacation because of the cabin. The view down the lake, they have high speed internet. There are tons of hiking trails in the area, Just walking in the community was beautiful and peaceful. Looking forward to going back next year.

Great location and front porch
The location is great. The porch was great. The communication was great. The house was not. We left early because the beds were so uncomfortable. There was someone's dirty t-shirt left in a chair on the main floor bedroom. The house was musty smelling, the screen door was busted so we couldn't get breezes from the outside. The kitchen was well stocked and clean but there were cobwebs hanging from the ceiling and most of the light fixtures.

Wonderful and Restful Stay
We so enjoyed our stay at the lake with all our adult children. This home is cozy and comfortable, with a magnificent lake view. We spent many nights relaxing on the deck, as well as early mornings drinking coffee from the well-equipped kitchen. We cooked some mighty fine dinners there. House was very clean and stocked with plenty of towels and linens. Being able to have our pup with us was such a plus! We rented a pontoon boat and used the private dock which was an easy walk down from the house. Communication with owner was over the top great, as we just had a few questions and Mother Nature tried to put the lights out. Not a problem at all and Courtney was very concerned that we all had a perfect vacation, which we certainly did! Thank you for sharing your historical home with us.

The sweetest place!
We fell in love with the cabin, it’s history, the porch and the ease of it all. We rented kayaks from the nearby dock to paddle in the clean water of Santeetlah. We hiked around Joyce Kilmer. We bought local produce from a market that’s just a few miles away and strung beans on the porch for dinner with the most beautiful view and cool breezes. We played Yahtzee on the dock as the sun went down. We slept like babies, read, had long coffees in the mornings and talked. This isn’t a fancy place but a homey one tucked in a cove perfect for swimming and floating on a hot summer day with easy, shallow access to the water. There’s just tons of heart in this place. The owner is just lovely and was always ready to answer any questions. She told me her Grandfather built the place and that endeared to us it even more. It’s an original to this wonderful lake. Don’t let it pass you by, there’s great memories to be made here... Robbinsville is just a few miles away with an Ingles for anything you forget! This is the kind of place to take a break from everything to see how simplicity can recalibrate..,

Lakefront Home with a view to amaze.
We loved the view and spent alot of time on the back covered porch. The separate apartment downstairs for very nice for privacy and family members enjoyed it. Unfortunately the bed was in need of replacement. it was very bad. It's an older home, but clean and well supplied with towels, dishes, etc. Nice neighborhood and area of the mountains.

Quaint Cottage on the lake
We enjoyed our stay on Lake Santeetlah.. The cottage was dated but well kept and had a lot of history about it. We talked with several snow birds who live there half the year and learned about the community enough to realize ours was very original in parts of the house (the windows are the key!) The kitchen was very nice and we agreed it would be excellent for a family week stay. Since we were only there for the weekend we only used it in a limited fashion. All the appliances worked perfectly and there was plenty of cooking utensils and cookware to make complete meals. The living area was well used for card games at night - we did not use the TV at all since there was no cable (warned ahead of time about that - no way to get satellite due to tree cover either). They do have a FireStick and internet was excellent so we used our computer to watch some ball games. They have NetFlix available as well. Great instructions on how to use everything in the house! One issue was the downstairs bedroom - there was a double bed instead of the queen listed. Also the dehumidifier that ran continuously in the bedroom was a bit noisy, but we got used to it. Both beds were a bit noisy to sleep on and could use updating. The bathrooms were good and the hot water was plentiful. Outside was my highlight! I loved the view across the water to the dam. The birds and chipmunks kept busy around the back porch and we had to reload the birdfeeder while we were there...counted at least seven different bird varieties eating within 6 feet of us on the upper porch. I spent time on the dock at twilight enjoying the solitude (we were the only people in the cove!) but it probably is busy and noisy during the summer - the houses are pretty close to each other in the cove. Overall we enjoyed our stay and after talking with several locals may look for property in the community for snowbirding ourselves in the next five or so years! Thanks for sharing your house with us.

Lake House
The property is exactly as advertised. Beautiful views and great neighborhood. I enjoyed my stay, however I have two cons. 1. I arrived at check in time with no instructions on entering the property. I messaged the manager 2 hours before with no response. Even with a potential lag in the app, I should have been provided this information well before check in. One hour after check in time I contacted vrbo, they tried calling the manager with no response. 2-3 hours later I finally got a text with the door code and instructions. I was not happy to sit around for 3 hours not knowing anything and was already looking for a different place to stay. 2. The smell of perfume/cologne/air freshener was EXTREMELY strong. I am not a picky person, as I have plug ins and use febreze at home. I spent about an hour searching for the source of this eye burning smell. After two days with the doors open it became bearable.

We enjoyed our lakeside retreat for the weekend. If you are looking for a simple, relaxing place to enjoy the lake view and a canoe ride this is a nice choice. It rained one evening and my husband and I loved sitting on the upper deck with a glass of wine and listening to the rain hit the water.
