Dragonfly Cottage at Santeetlah Lakeside featured on the cover of Cabin Magazine

Exceptionally crafted luxury Adirondack-style home overlooking Lake Santeelah and the Smokey Mountains, located in the sequestered western North Carolina community of Santeetlah Lakeside.

This community is surrounded by protected forest and pristine water. The marina is within walking distance, so take a boat ride and explore one of the most beautiful and tranquil lakes in America with over 90 percent conserved shoreline.

Spend your day boating, swimming or fly fishing, or maybe hiking in one of the national forests; drive the Cherohala Skyway or the Tail of the Dragon; visit Fontana Dam, the Oconoluftee Village and Cherokee Casino, or enjoy Southern Appalachian mountain culture at the Stecoah Valley Cultural Arts Center; take a train ride on the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad in Bryson City, then relax with an afternoon cocktail along the banks of the Cheoah River at Tapoco Lodge.

Family Weekend
Cabin was very nice and beautiful location and views. Problems are there is no place for full trash bags and you have to take to a dump 3 miles away. All of the air vents were closed upon arrival. The oven bake does not work, only broil works. The downstairs guest bath had some issues with the toilet. And to top it all off the owner would not text back. But overall it was nice, just too expensive for dealing with those issues. I would most likely stay again.

Downtime at Dragonfly
We found this place to be really beautiful in its layout,comfort,decor and stunning views! Every need was attended too from kitchen utensils and appliances to ample supplies of toilet paper and paper towels. I am used to bringing my own! I do feel it could have been a tad cleaner for this price but other than that this place met and exceeded all our hopes for a wonderful fall retreat.

A Mid October Santeetlah Vacation
My wife and I have stayed at several lake houses in Western Carolina and found this to be our favorite. The house is very pretty inside and out with fantastic views of the lake especially from the living room and dining room on the main floor where we spent most of our time. There are only 3 steps from the parking area to the front door which made it easy for my wife who has mobility issues. Although there is a road between the house and the lake it is barely visible and we noticed not even a single car per day go down the road. It was surprising how few people were staying in the neighborhood during the week.
