Book a hotel near Nantahala River, North Carolina

"Fireplace here was awesome for taking the morning chill off and our one pet, Lucy, a tiny golden retriever had a ball. The nice thing about the cabin for a family with a boy and a dog is it is easily cleaned and the porch on the outside facing a cool creek was most enjoyed by the boy and dog. The creek provided hours of entertainment for a six year old that lives in a city and has no access to water like this. Franklin has plenty of good restaurants and for hikers, this place is the bomb. Our favorite hike was to Pickens Nose which we had not been up to before this visit. Would happily go back again to the cabin, "

"This cabin had everything we needed for a quick getaway. They even supplied a dog bed, bowls, and tennis balls for our pups! The host was very communicative. We would definitely rent again!"

"Our week vacation was fantastic and the cabin is an absolute “Gem”. The Cabin is very well equipped, clean and nicely decorated, and I enjoyed the plentiful reading material about the local area. The view of the Lake is nothing short of beautiful, and can be seen from almost every room in the house plus two outdoor large decks! Thank you for being a great host Kathy and we will definitely return! This was so nice and relaxing vacation, we will definitely be back! V/r Brian "

"Amazing! Great location, easy to get to, host was very responsive "

"Excellent!"

"If you’re looking for some peace and quiet—this is the place. 30 minutes from town and in the middle of the Nantahala National Forest and the lake close by, it’s a wonderful spot to relax and recharge. The cabin was spacious and mostly everything you need. My wife and our two dogs stayed for two weeks from end of February thru the first week in March. Very quiet during that time and can imagine how beautiful it is here in the summer and fall seasons. My dogs absolutely loved walking in the forest by the house to sniff around. All of the amenities made it feel like home away from home. We were able to work comfortably from the home and the surrounding area was picturesque and the people were wonderful. Would love to come back during the busy season to enjoy the lake and activities. Just an amazing place. "
