Luxe Lakefront Villa w/ Dock, Hot Tub & Fire Pit

We had the best time at your beautiful Lake Nantahala house. We had built a house on this lake 30+ years ago so this place holds a very special place in our hearts. We raised our sons on this beautiful lake where nature abounds. It is a forever special place to my family which made spending my 75th birthday here just perfect! Your home is so beautifully appointed and the view is what we know well and refer to as “a piece of paradise”. Thank you for sharing it with us!

The views, the views, the views. Serene lake. Most days you are on the lake alone, or so it seems. Home is beautiful too, a fine co-star.

Encore is such a lovely, well-outfitted house, with the BEST view on Lake Nantahala, that I almost don't want to tell anyone about it! This was our second summer at the house, and it was just as wonderful as the first time. Beautiful decor, great layout for a multi-age family group, lots of spots to hide away with a book or to gather together for meals and hanging out. Love the game table, the ping-pong and darts, the endless water activities, the firepit! Craig is a great host -- responsive, helpful, always pleasant to communicate with. It was very hard to leave!

Once again, Craig's spot on Lake Nantahala never disappoints. This is our third year using Craig's place. Always well kept. Super clean. Very relaxing. It you have the opportunity to stay here, make sure you do. We can't wait to come back next summer!

We absolutely loved our stay here. The house was perfect with more than enough room for our family of five and all the things for enjoying lake life and more -- not to mention the beautiful view from every window! We rented a boat at the nearby marina, hiked on the nearby AT, fished, and spent time playing darts and lounging in the hot tub and by the fire. Craig was an exceptional host, answering all our questions and making sure our stay was going well. I cannot recommend Encore at Nantahala enough!
