Recent Nantahala National Forest vacation rental reviews

Nice house. Very clean and comfortable! Loved the hot tub on the back porch. Would stay there again. Drive in is a one lane gravel/dirt road that has several sharp curves.
Teresa T. | Aug 2022
This home was clean and spacious enough for 6 people. The street and driveway were a bit precarious but this is a mountain home.
Russell C. | Aug 2022
The location and setting of this home is wonderful. Very much enjoyed sitting on the porch swing and relaxing. The Lamas and donkeys in the field were an add bonus to watch while sitting on the swing!
