Waterfront vacation rentals in Santeetlah Lake

Beautiful, peaceful getaway. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

Perfect on the river location! Comfortable bed! Best potato salad ever!

The condo is very nice and in a great location. It was advertised as a 2 bed studio (1 bed and 1 pull out sofa). I mistakenly thought it was a 2 bedroom. My error. Otherwise it is exactly as described and very nice. The host was very responsive to my questions.

Margarita's place had everything we needed, and were looking for for an impromptu weekend getaway. It was close to the Jackrabbit trails, which we enjoyed with friends, and the lake. Plus, we enjoyed a bonus sunset drink, with some great food truck bbq, on the new dock bar! We would definitely stay again.

We had an AMAZING time!! The unit was beautiful and so clean. It smelled amazing as soon as you opened the door. It's within walking distance of downtown Gatlinburg so we didn't have to drive much. We really enjoyed sitting on the balcony. It was so peaceful and quite. The absolute best part though was seeing all the bears!! I've been to Gatlinburg a 100 times and saw more bears just around the condo than I've seen in all other trips combined!! We will definitely be coming back to Ashley's place!

Beautiful location. Just was super friendly and accommodating. Great sandwiches at the tavern next door. Will definitely come back!

Loved the space - will definitely be back! Extremely clean, quiet, and easy to find. Had all of the amenities we could ever need and was the perfect location. Thanks so much to Dottie!

We enjoyed our stay very much. It was clean, easy to find and comfortable. It had the things we needed. We loved that it was next to the river: peaceful!

We had a wonderful time at this lake house. Plenty of room for my family of five to spread out and relax and such a beautiful setting. The house had everything we needed to just relax and spend time there. The kitchen was very well stocked with equipment. My sons loved fishing in the lake and we all enjoyed sitting around to bonfire at night. It was wonderful. Next time we will stay for longer!

This was such a sweet stay and we wish we could have stayed longer! Beautiful location - my husband enjoyed fly fishing during the day on the water and I was only 20 minutes from kayaking at the NOC. The house was very clean - tidy bathroom and kitchen with all your basics stocked to get you started. Hot tub was lovely and very clean! There is a steeper drop off next to the outside firepit so I would be mindful with little children. Easy check in and they were very flexible and responsive when we had some crazy weather pop up nearby. We will be back again and hopefully stay a little longer!

What a great trip! The house was perfect for four senior ladies on a Girls Trip. So much fun… wonderful time with friends, yummy food, beautiful surroundings… ate all of our meals on the spacious screened porch overlooking the lake. We are already planning on coming back next year!

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!

What a wonderful visit. We had family from HI, FL, and SD gather to celebrate a graduation from WCU. The cottage was lovely. It was clean and perfect for a large family. The setting was so peaceful. We saw a bald eagle on the river as we sat on the deck! I would highly recommend this hidden jewel. If only, we had visited sooner and spent more time. It is definitely worth a second trip.

Beautiful house on the river and close to town. There was plenty of space, and we especially loved the relaxing porch.

This is the perfect house for a family mountain weekend. We had lots of room, a well stocked kitchen and laundry room. It was just minutes from downtown Highlands but felt very secluded and peaceful. We would love to return.

Very nice quiet area and enjoyed walking by the river. Would stay again next time we’re in the area.

We enjoyed staying at Cades Cove condo #250. Liked the amenities, location, and paved walking path access. Shelia was very responsive to questions and communications. Would stay here again.

We totally loved our stay! The location was perfect - so close to the wedding venue which was our reason for coming. Sasha was beyond helpful! Her generous hospitality was amazing! The space itself was so peaceful and charming! We highly recommend this place…

This stay was everything we needed and more! Tucked away on the peaceful side of the Smokies, the apartment was spotless, cozy, and beautifully decorated. We spent our mornings rocking on the deck with coffee overlooking the river, and our evenings around the fire pit under the stars — pure bliss. The pool was crystal clear and a perfect way to cool off after a day of exploring. Every detail was thoughtfully done, and the host is kind and helpful. If you’re looking for a quiet, relaxing getaway with all the comforts of home, this is it. Already dreaming of coming back!

My wife and I were very happy with the unit. Very clean and had everything we could have wanted. Basket of snacks was very thoughtful. Kelsey was quick to respond to any questions we had. The room was quiet and we did not hear anything from neighboring units. The location is a perfect escape from the crowds at Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge yet really close to Cades Cove. Some really good restaurants nearby along with some nice breweries. Highly recommend this place of Kelsey’s!

We had a really quick stay as we were coming from a full day exploring Smoky Mountain National Park. We found the place great for an overnight stay. Very clean and comfortable. There was a nice restaurant (Peaceful Side) within walking distance with great outdoor space to hang out, eat and enjoy the views, and let the kids play.
