Lake Retreat Like None Other
by Lisa M.Beautiful lakefront home with private dock. Bring plenty of food, people you love to be with, and reserve your boat ahead of arrival. Plan to do a bit of housekeeping and getting things the way you like them. This home needs a bit of care so be kind. Just enjoy it for how special it really is.
Thank you for the thoughtful review, Lisa! We enjoyed having you and your family. Hope the rest of your summer has been going well. Best.

Dream Vacation Home
by Kritzia P.Forge Lake Lodge is a magical place to spend your time in Nantahala. My husband and I stayed there with our wedding party for our wedding weekend and could not have asked for a better experience. I only wish we had asked more people to stay in the house. It's huge! The primary suite is bigger and better than we had imagined. Everything is so comfortable and spacious. The only negative is the length of the drive to get to and from the house from the main road. It's about a 10-15 minute drive depending on how comfortable you are driving on gravel. It's understandably long considering the position of the house on the lake. Not an issue if you are using the house as a retreat. However, since we had a lot of wedding related activities away from the house, we decided to rent a pontoon boat from the nearby marina for the whole weekend. I would highly recommend this option if you plan to use the cafe at the marina regularly as your dining option or have friends you want to visit in another lake house. It made it easy to transport a lot of people at once so that we could limit the amount of people that had to drive a car. Not to mention that it's pretty nice to just be able to take the boat out on the lake whenever you want. We really enjoyed the fact that the house had two main levels for people to hang out in. The lower level has a TV, bar area, its own terrace, and stand alone bathrooms which makes it just as comfortable to hang out in as the ground level. I really have nothing negative to say about the house. My friends are all talking about going back again some day with a bigger group because we would love to have more time to just enjoy the house without other obligations.
Hi Kritzia - Thank you for such an in-depth, positive review! We're happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and would love to have you back soon! Have a great rest of the year. Thanks!
