About this property

Stunning Log Home on water w/ boatslip and amazing view

Immerse yourself in the enchanting beauty of our exceptional log home, perched on the edge of a pristine lake, framed by the majestic mountains. A haven for those seeking a blend of luxury and nature, this property invites you to meander down the driveway to the water's edge, where a private boat slip awaits in a secluded cove, complete with a picnic area exclusively for homeowners.
As you enter, the chalet-style architecture captivates with its expansive glass wall of windows, offering uninterrupted views of the tranquil lake. The open great room is a masterpiece of design, featuring an enormous 3-tier antler chandelier that illuminates the space with a warm, inviting glow. The decor is a careful curation of top-of-the-line leather, rustic lodge furniture, and professionally selected fabrics and bedding that echo the natural surroundings.
Accommodating up to 10 guests, this home boasts three elegantly appointed bedrooms, including a king bed and two queens, alongside a cozy pullout full-size bed nestled in the lower-level den. The whimsical bear-themed loft, equipped with two twin beds, serves as an enchanting hideaway for the little ones. The inclusion of a firepit and hot tub has been universally celebrated by our guests, offering endless hours of relaxation and enjoyment.
This retreat boasts an amazing 7 person hot tub with amazing views. It is an idyllic setting for a romantic escape, a tranquil family getaway, or a joyful reunion with friends. Dive into the cove's clear waters for a swim or a fishing adventure, or set out to explore the wealth of activities nearby. From pontoon rentals to exhilarating whitewater rafting on the Nantahala river, and from serene kayaking and canoeing to hiking and biking on the scenic trails of Wayah Bald, adventure beckons at every turn.
To enhance your stay, we've curated a list of recommended activities, local grocers, and dining options, complete with contact details and directions, ensuring a seamless and enriching experience for you and your loved ones.
Nantahala's crystal-clear waters set it apart as a jewel among the lakes of the southeast, offering a playground vast enough to indulge in all your hobbies, whether it be fishing, boating, or skiing.
Strategically situated, this home offers a respite from the Florida heat, a peaceful break from the bustling city of Atlanta, and serves as a perfect base for exploring the cultural richness of the Highlands or Asheville, just an hour's drive away.
Equipped with modern amenities such as internet, DishTV across three screens, a Weber grill, hot tub, firepit, and a gas fireplace, this home not only promises relaxation and great conversations under the stars but also stands as a testament to luxurious living in harmony with nature.

Solid stay
We really enjoyed our stay. The house was great and the layout was perfect for our group. The kitchen had everything you could need. Lake Nantahala is an absolutely beautiful lake and a great place to enjoy the weekend. The dock was great and a nice amenity. I will say that the walk down the driveway (mountain) to get to the dock was not quick. We elected to drive to the dock which worked out well with our group. We would definitely consider staying here again.

Absolutely Gorgeous
It was a perfect Christmas getaway, Other than temporary blackouts, I would book this again! I do suggest if it is cold when you plan your drip bring a battery operated heater just in case. The house is amazing, the host communicates perfectly and the views are breathtaking.

Fun Family Getaway
We had a wonderful stay at the Lost Moose Lodge on Nantehela Lake this weekend!!! There were 9 of us in total (my husband and I along with our kids ages 16-23) and we really only wished that we had a couple of extra days! We had such a great time and would really love to come back again next year! The house was just beautiful, and extremely well stocked with everything that we needed! We cooked a lot, and there was nothing at all missing in the kitchen. There were lots of extras in the house that one might forget to bring. The house is so uniquely and beautifully designed and decorated and was more than enough room for our family to enjoy! We enjoyed the quick walk down the hill to the lake, our time spent swimming off the dock and relaxing in the sun and floating in our tubes, We brought a jet ski and some kayaks and then rented a speed boat from Lakes End Marina and had a great day spent on Lake Nantehela followed up by evenings grilling out and soaking in the hot tub on the upper deck overlooking the lake. We highly recommend visiting Lost Moose Lodge for your next vacation in the mountains!!

Excellent house, perfect location
The house was awesome for our large group, which varied in ages from 3 to 55+. The decorations and furniture were top quality, and no detail was overlooked. The owners did a great job of providing information on things to do in the area, and our group took advantage of that by going tubing and swimming on the lake as well as zip lining, white water rafting, horseback riding, gem mining and fishing. We also had plenty of time to relax in the jacuzzi and grill dinner on the deck. The house had all of the amenities and supplies necessary. It was clean and fully stocked when we got there, reducing the need to leave and buy more supplies (with the exception of food). The views of the lake from the deck were amazing, especially in the early morning, or evening sun. The kids enjoyed the loft tremendously which was stocked with games for them to play. The house provided plenty of space for our large group to hang together, or get some alone time if necessary. Everything was clearly labeled (including all the light switches) and instructions were available for amenities such as the fireplace and jacuzzi. the decorations fit the theme perfectly, I just don't know how the owners found so many moose themed items. It was truely a joy to stay at the Lost Moose Lodge, and would definitely recommend it to friends and family. It was a great place for a great lake vacation.

Excellent fall time VBRO
Beautiful cabin style home with amazing views of fall setting in. Property had everything you could ask for, multiple decks with seating, hot tub with a view, play room for kids, fire pit and more. Bring yourselves, fire wood, fishing pole, and food and you are set! Cabin is very private and away from main roads (would recommend AWD or 4WD vehicle as owners suggest). Overall great place, would visit again!

Exceeded expectations
This was our first time down to The Smokey Mountains and we did not know what to expect. The drive down became a little worrisome as we got closer too the destination, but as soon as you get to the end of the road the lake opens up with beautiful cabins all along in a very private, secluded, and safe nook on Lake Nantahala. The cabin was beyond amazing. If you like very Nancy Meyers types of movies because of the decor, location, and overall vibe of the house, then Lost Moose Lodge is THE place to stay if you come to NC! Every detail was perfect, very clean, lots of activities, and even a scavenger hunt in the house was provided. Stock up on groceries and bring firewood and starter with you to enjoy this place uninterrupted for your getaway. We did a few local attractions, however we would have been happy to just stay all weekend at the cabin as it was exactly the place for a relaxing and family oriented type of trip. We will definitely be coming back.

Lovely Christmas Stay
We rented this place for a family getaway over Christmas. We absolutely loved our stay! The house exceeded our expectations (and the listed pictures). Hidden gem with a fabulous view. The hot tub was a hit. The owners were responsive to messages if needed (but everything is spelled out in the pdf they send you). The owners went above and beyond in decorating for Christmas and setting the table with festive ware--and even left out cute slippers for the kids (big hit)! Thanks so much! A couple things to be aware of-- there is a small stream you have to cross. My MIL made it ok in her Honda civic. They mention this in the description but somehow we all missed it. Our bad! Also the wireless is on the slow side. No big deal for us as we were vacationing but if you're needing a reliable connection for work from home situation, you may need to rethink. Otherwise, fantastic!!

Cabin Trip
We Travel to the Smokies every summer and this was our favorite cabin yet. Great secluded location on the lake with fabulous REAL cabin outdoor décor including a moose head and gorgeous Antler chandelier. Our kids loved the loft with tons of stuffed animals, etc. The view is incredible and can be enjoyed from the hot tub as well. The only downside is the slow wifi and cell service but that didn't bother us!

Dreamy
What an amazing cabin and view. When you need to “take a break and get away”, this place is exactly what you daydream about. Our girls (ages 9 & 10) thought the loft bedroom was “the best EVER”! We all loved the home decor and the stuffed animals on the loft; made it very warm and inviting. Driveway was a bit nerve-wracking like everyone else said but you get used to it. Internet was “mountain slow”, which was fine except when both my husband and I needed to work at the same time. I would absolutely recommend this home for anyone who wants a true cozy cabin in the mountains. Thank you for providing your beautiful home!

About the host

Hosted by Chris

Host profile image
We live in Atlanta and found this property, I designed the house with our builder and it was ready to move in 2005. We are a busy family of four and love going up to our house to get away from the 4MM people in Atlanta.

Why they chose this property

I designed the house for rental and vacation, my wife decorated for our 2nd house and retirement location. You will see that she never really wanted to rent it, and put a lot of time in the decor in the house. The view is AMAZING and I can promise you that it will be 'even better than the pictures' We love the pace and the rustic feel of the area. The walk to the the boat area is close given the steep mountain lake terrain, but you are truly in the woods when you are at our house.
