Guest Comments:

"My family and I had a wonderful family reunion in A Lake Memory and a cabin of yours nearby.  The cabin was very large and we were all comfortable with plenty of space to spare.  The king size beds were very comfortable and we all slept wonderfully.  My son loved the pool table, he had his family members playing with him every opportunity that arose.  We loved the kitchen and dining room.  We cooked 3 meals a day for 7 days in the kitchen.  It was really well equipped with all the pans and utensils we needed.  I loved waking up in the morning sipping coffee and eating my mom's homemade cinnamon rolls on the porch.  The scenery and sounds were beautiful.  We definitely got a good work out walking up and down the hill.  The kid's enjoyed having the loft all to themselves.  It was a great experience. Thank you, Elizabeth"

"The cabin was amazing!  We really enjoyed our stay and we will visit again. The NFL direct ticket was what sold my husband; he is a big football fan.  We have direct ticket at home.   My husband wants to visit again late spring and bring his boat along next time.  We loved how private the cabin was and my son loved the pool table and movies on the big screen.  I enjoyed everything! Thanks! Tammy"

Thank you for your email, but more importantly, thank you so very much for providing such a wonderful cabin for us to enjoy. I had one of the best vacations of my life! Your cabin was everything you described it to be on your website. It was beautiful, very clean and extremely comfortable. Your kindness in permitting me to take my 5 miniature schnauzers provided me the first opportunity to have a vacation that included them. Because my favorite little one was recently diagnosed with cancer, you allowed me to make memories with her that I will cherish forever. Thank you for that! We all had such a wonderful time together! We truly now have "A Lake Memory"! Again Walt, thank you for providing such a wonderful cabin. I do hope to go back sometime. Sincerely, Porsche.
 

This cabin is perfect for a honeymoon or anniversary with its cozy fireplace and romantic hot tub spa; at the same time the spaciousness of the cabin makes it perfect for a large family gathering or reunion.

That's in addition to all the great activities the North Carolina Smokies have to offer. You may bring your own boat or jet ski, or rent a pontoon boat on Lake Nantahala.

Fishing - A low number of boaters makes Nantahala Lake a great fishing lake. You'll find walleye, crappie, sunfish, trout and bass all available for your private fish fry at 'A Lake Memory'. And below the dam, where the river cascades toward the Nantahala Gorge, you'll find some of the best fly fishing spots in the eastern US.
