What to Do Right from Your StayNantahala Cabin Doorstep
Unwind, Explore, and Escape the Ordinary One of the best things about a StayNantahala cabin or luxury yurt? It's easy to enjoy unforgettable family moments together. From peaceful mornings by the lake or nestled in the mountain scenery to exciting afternoons on the water, everything you need for a fun and relaxing mountain getaway is right outside your door.
Not sure what to do during your cabin or yurt stay? We've got plenty of ideas. Here's how to make the most of your mountain escape:
Start Slow: Coffee with a View
There's no rush here. Mornings in a StayNantahala cabin or luxury yurt are made for cozy moments and quiet wonder. Sip your favorite brew on the porch or deck, watch the mist rise off the lake, and listen to the sounds of nature waking up. It's the perfect way to ease into a day of adventure—or simply enjoy the beauty of doing nothing at all.
Cast a Line from Your Dock If your cabin has lake access, you're in luck. Nantahala Lake is known for its trout, bass, and walleye. Bring your own gear or ask us about rentals, and enjoy a peaceful morning of fishing right from your dock.
Paddle the Calm Waters The glassy surface of Nantahala Lake is perfect for a leisurely paddle, and you may even spot herons or otters along the way. Didn't bring your own kayak or canoe? Rent one from Lakes End Boat Rentals & Marina.
Put Your Hiking Boots On Many cabins are near quiet trails ideal for a morning hike or evening stroll. Breathe in crisp mountain air and enjoy the surrounding Nantahala National Forest, where nature is always putting on a show.
Dine with a View Whether you're firing up the grill on your private balcony (available at many cabins), or cooking a family-favorite recipe in your fully equipped kitchen, mealtime becomes part of the adventure. Savor your meal outdoors as you watch the sunset or gather inside for a cozy evening filled with laughter.
Cruise with Lakes End Boat Rentals & Marina Want to get out on the open water? Lakes End Boat Rentals & Marina is just minutes away and offers pontoon boats, jet skis, and tubes. Rent a boat and explore hidden coves, go swimming, or enjoy a lakeside picnic on the water.
Dine Local at Lakes End Cafe & Grill When hunger calls, head over to Lakes End Cafe & Grill for a relaxed meal. Grab a juicy burger, fresh salad, or dessert and take in the lake views from their outdoor deck. It's a local favorite for good reason.
Let Noonday Adventures Take You Further For those days when you want to explore beyond your doorstep without doing the planning, Noonday Adventures offers guided scenic UTV tours. It's adventure, handled.
Unwind Under the Stars End your day wrapped in a blanket, glass of wine in hand, soaking in your private hot tub or lounging by the fire pit. With no city lights around, the starry skies are absolutely unreal.
No Stress. Just Pure Mountain & Lake Magic. When you stay with StayNantahala, the best parts of your trip might just be the ones that happen right outside your front door.
