Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Nantahala Lake

Very private location. Peaceful getaway. Not so far from town that running to the grocery is a chore, nor too far from great hikes. Our medium sized dog enjoyed the fenced in yard and we all sunbathed on the deck. Will stay again!

We immediately felt at home at Gina’s farmhouse. Very peaceful, clean and well stocked. Loved the covered bridge and creek. The beds were very comfortable. The house is close to town but feels private. Gina left easy directions to the property and lots of recommendations for things to do. We are already planning our next trip!

Absolutely perfect. We stayed for the week with our five kids (6,4,3, & 1 year old twins) and had an amazing family vacation. The space worked perfectly for our needs as a large family with small kids and the beach area was especially perfect for toddler playtime. The waterfall across the way was stunning and we loved boating around, fishing, swimming, fires by the lake, and rainy evenings in the hot tub. Such an amazing place for families!

We enjoyed a relaxing 3 night stay in Bobby and Dina’s beautiful, river house and they were the perfect hosts! They were very responsive to questions and even offered area suggestions including a wonderful local butcher, for our BBQ night on the deck, listening to the peaceful sounds of the river. This home had everything we needed to prepare meals, very clean and tastefully decorated. We highly recommend this home for your trip to the Murphy area and would love to return when we have more time to fish & kayak!

My wife and I grew up in Sylva. We came home to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary. We had several questions for Diane and she was wonderful to work with. We will definitely rent this property again. You will not be disappointed if you stay here.

We loved our stay at this lakefront gem. The house is exactly as described and gorgeous. The view from the back porch is amazing. Wendy is a wonderful host and her home is well stocked and very clean! I would recommend this home and we will stay again.

Beautiful views and perfect location for the Tail of the Dragon and hiking. Also boat rentals are right across the lake. If we come back to this location we will stay again. Thanks for having us.

We had a wonderful stay here! Our visit was to attend our friends’ wedding at The Retreat at Hiawassee River (6 minute drive), but we were also able to easily get to Hiawassee and Helen throughout our stay. So, the location is incredible! This cabin was cozy and welcoming. The kitchen was so awesome and while we didn’t cook anything, we appreciated having a coffee maker and large fridge for all our snacks. The hot tub was divine and was the perfect way to relax in between wedding festivities. The bed was very comfy, too! If you’re someone who likes to unpack when you arrive, please note that there aren’t any dressers or chests of drawers. But the closets are great, and there are luggage racks that can hold relatively large suitcases! Overall, we loved our stay and would definitely recommend it (and our host) to anyone thinking of visiting!

Very clean, easy to find, perfect for the dogs, and very relaxing easy stay!

We had a wonderful stay at this home in Clayton, GA while in town for a wedding with another family. The house had everything we needed—super clean, well-stocked, and very comfortable. The kitchen was fully equipped, which made meals easy, and the whole place had such a welcoming, cozy feel. The location was perfect—just a short walk into town, which is absolutely adorable. We happened to be there during a local festival, and it was such a treat to see the community in action. Lots of local pride and charm all around! The outdoor space was a huge bonus. The pool and hot tub were a hit with the kids, and the spacious yard gave them plenty of room to run around and play. It was a quick trip, so we didn’t get to explore as much of the area as we would’ve liked, but there’s clearly a lot to see and do. We’d definitely love to come back and stay longer! Highly recommend this home for anyone visiting the Clayton area—whether for a special event or just a relaxing getaway.

Cale communicated everything clearly, responded back quick when I had a question, and was incredibly friendly. The cabin is absolutely gorgeous. They had everything my family needed to enjoy our visit. Would fully recommend to anyone wanting to get away.

We had a wonderful stay. The cabin was very clean, the kitchen was well stocked for cooking in, and the amenities were great. We enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit, and fishing along the river. The kids toys and games were a nice addition. Nicki was very friendly and responsive. We’d love to stay here again next year!

We had an absolutely amazing time staying here, from the home itself to the outdoors surrounding it was exactly the peaceful, serene environment we were needing. The house literally had everything that we could’ve possibly needed cookware wise and even cleaning wise because although we were on vacation in a neat freak and with 2 boys the messes are sure to follow. Our host was so kind and responsive and gave us so many wonderful recommendations for things to do with our sons. We did not want to leave 💕 thank you so much for having us.

My family and I enjoyed our stay. The views from the house are incredible. It is very peaceful. The place was clean. Nina was very helpful and responsive when needed. We used the pool and hot tub, which was a short walk down the driveway. I highly recommend this place if you’re visiting the area!

Very pleased with the cleanliness & accommodations. Lovely home!

Nancy made us feel welcome from the start! She was so prepared for any question that I asked and made me feel that I was more than a guest - I was a new friend. Hoping to revisit with more family - the home and location are beautiful!

I’m a out-of-state photographer who came in for a wedding and I booked the yurt for two nights. It was so comfortable so beautiful and I can’t wait to come back and stay for longer. Thank you so much Carson for being a great host. You have a truly unique and wonderful space

An excellent stay in the mountains, really nice this time of year, and the hosts were both great to talk to and helpful with all steps of the process! Saw people riding horses across the street!

very cute little home, cozy and peaceful area. was able to fish and actually caught a speckled trout. decorations actually fit together together.

Great place with even better views! The whole house felt cosy with the cabin feel. Everything we needed and clear instructions/recommendations. We would definitely rent this place again. Thanks for hosting us!

Best experience I've had with AirBnB. Michelle was friendly and polite. The cabin was exactly as described, clean and great for our weekend getaway. 5/5 would recommend.

Mary and her husband, Matthew, were very accommodating hosts! Luna Lodge is indeed a cozy little getaway near Bryson City and the Smoky Mountains, with enough space for myself, my girlfriend and her tiny 3lb Yorkie to be comfortable. We picked up groceries for our 2-night stay at the Ingles market ~10 minutes away from the cabin. Our hosts had provided all the necessary seasonings we needed in addition to utensils, cooking appliances and the Nespresso machine which I got a lot of use from :) Would recommend if you're a city-dweller like myself and want a few days in the wilderness to "reset" and clear your head - away from all the distractions of the real world. I did have a very important video call with my company's CEO and CRO that I needed to take during our trip and was fortunate enough that the cabin wifi was up to speed!

Very comfortable home near the lake. We were in the area with my teenage niece and nephew, they enjoyed having their own space, the pool table and super fast Starlink Wi-Fi.

Views were amazing. The yard and trails are a wonderful addition to the amenities. My kids loved the pool table and board games provided. The cabin felt secluded and private. Wish we had more time.
