Vacation rentals with lake access in Graham County

Beautiful home with great views. Super spacious and had everything you would need or want. We did not want to leave we felt right at home.

It was the perfect place for a family gathering after Christmas at one of our favorite places. Only wished we could have stayed longer. We’d stay there again.

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!

We loved staying here! The house has everything one would need for a relaxing stay. My kids loved fishing from the dock, the legos, and puzzles- so much to do that screens were not even missed!

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!

This place was incredible. Every detail was thoughtfully designed, from the beautiful architecture and cozy furniture to the stunning mountain views. It was secluded and peaceful, with a fun gravel road that our small sedan had no trouble navigating. Our kids loved walking down to the boat dock for a picnic (although the walk back up the hill is a long one!), and the hot tub was perfect after a day of hiking. The kitchen had everything we needed, the gas grill was top notch, and the patio furniture and gas firepit made evenings outside extra relaxing. The movie theater and surround sound were a nightly favorite, and the bathrooms felt like a spa. The indoor fireplace made the space feel extra cozy. The stargazing at night was incredible in this quiet, gated area. The host was very responsive, and Watershed checked in right away with great local recommendations. This was mountain living at its finest—10/10, we’d love to come back.

This is my second time staying here and loved it. Dina was very responsive and also very accommodating. If you are into cars, this is a great location. Has plenty of parking for several cars and has 2 car garage to help keep your car out of the elements. As long at Dina keeps hosting, I will continue to rent from her every year i visit. Amazing host and can't say enough about how great she is.

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.

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!

We loved our stay here! We had plenty of space and the view was amazing! Our host was friendly and answered any questions we had. We enjoyed our time outside on the dock, the back porch and the outside sitting area. We were able to use the kayaks and go out on the water one morning and enjoy the beautiful views. The beds and pillows were SUPER comfortable, felt like I was at home!

My brother and I treated our mom to a weekend getaway to celebrate her 80th birthday. The “Flying Squirrel” was perfect! Great floor plan, beautiful interior design, comfortable beds, and plenty of thoughtful extras! If you’re looking for a true “get-away-from-it-all”….this is it!

This cozy, beautiful spot is a treasure! Kim was very attentive to details in creating a space that is welcoming and feels like home. The kitchen was well equipped, decor blends modern and mountain cottage. Plenty to entertain at the house or nearby. The description helped us know how to best plan our visit to the area and there were great tips and maps at the house too. Beautiful scenery and a great place to enjoy birds, fall foliage, hiking and much more. So thankful for a great getaway!

Motorcycle trailer friendly parking which is great considering the roads in the area. I had no problem getting my truck and 10ft enclosed trailer there and parked. Great house and neighborhood. We were allowed to check in early which was awesome. The house was stocked with lots of snacks and items that you may forget or need. The layout of the house is nice for 2 separate groups as you would each have your own end of the house and bathroom. My mom stayed at the house and enjoyed the lake view while the rest of us rode motorcycles.
