Our name says it all!  The Fish Hook Inn is a comfortable rustic mountain cabin tucked away in a gloriously private, wooded setting.  Enter through the red gate to find your vacation cabin surrounded by the Nantahala National Forest and the longest lakeshore frontage anywhere on crystal clear Nantahala Lake.

You’ll find that Fish Hook is equally perfect for a romantic getaway for two or a fabulous large gathering of family or friends.  Plus pets are always welcome!  Whether you’re looking for an active, outdoors experience or just an opportunity for rest and relaxation, you’ll find it here.

With its exceptionally large deck and bright, fully enclosed sunroom built out over the lake, this private hideaway feels like a tree house with the scenic views to match.  Three comfortable bedrooms, 1 with queen bed, 1 with double bed, and 1 with twin beds. Two additional twin beds and foldout couch on the sun porch provide easy accommodation for up to 8 people. 2 Bathrooms.

The living room/family room/dining area features comfortable seating including a leather sofa, a gas fireplace stove, a butcher block dining table, a flat screen satellite TV with a wide variety of music and viewing options, a DVD player, and a stereo music system.

The kitchen, which opens into the family room, is fully equipped; refrigerator, stove, microwave, coffee maker, blender, dishwasher, eating and cooking utensils, and a washer and dryer.  Bathrobes, linens, towels, shampoo, hairdryers, paper goods, and detergents are furnished. 

Outside, you can savor the active life or just kick back and relax with all the comforts of home.  Fish Hook’s  large deck, partially covered for those occasional rainy days, has built-in seating and provides a bird’s eye view of the lake below and the mountains beyond.  Here you’ll also find a gas grill when you’re ready to barbecue.  A stairway from the deck leads directly down to a private dock where you can swim, sun, fish, canoe, or tour the lake in our paddle boat.  If you have your own boat or jet ski, there’s a public boat ramp directly across the lake.  There’s even a garage for your automobile!   

You’ll also find there is a multitude of nearby activities and attractions including whitewater rafting, mountain biking, horseback riding, and hiking on the Appalachian Trail among the many choices.  Nearby towns including Andrews and Murphy offer shopping for antiques and local arts and crafts.  Suddenly have the urge for fine dining?  Try the Cole House in downtown Andrews, the Copper Door in Hayesville, or Doyle’s Cedar Hill in Murphy, NC.

The Fish Hook Inn – your private lakeside retreat for fun and relaxation “at the end of the line”!  Visit soon!

We really enjoyed the cabin. The views and privacy was fantastic. I hope to return, but this time I'm bringing my Kayak. It was the perfect place to escape from a stressful job. My wife and I relaxed and did nothing but enjoy the views and Hot Tub. We have a very nice house on another lake in North Carolina, but it can not compete with the views at The Fish Hook.

Thank you for letting us stay at the fish hook inn!  We had so much fun and it is great to wake up and see such an incredible view of the lake.  We will definitely be renting again, hopefully next year!  Krista, Decatur GA 6/17/11

Wow..... What can we say about this cabin?  It was a beautiful place, we loved everything about it!! I think my favorite thing of it all was the layout of the cabin! I loved it! The Hot Tub was wonderfully relaxing. The view was worth more than a million dollars!! Thank you for sharing this with us, we will always appreciate it! The Glazners

We had a wonderful time in Fish Hook Inn... It was a great cabin, great location, our family truly enjoyed it!! we feel the pictures did it no justice.... much prettier and nicer and very comfortable........... We were very pleased and would highly recommend it to anyone..... Carmen

We had a terrific weekend at "Fish Hook Inn", and we plan to try to stay there again next year if it's available. The house and property were absolutely wonderful--everything was clean and neat and comfortable.  We also loved the seclusion and privacy.  What a great place!  We can't believe that we were so lucky to find it. It was everything your website described and more!!!! We also enjoyed David's pontoon boat.  It was the perfect way to tour the lake, and the kids loved fishing and swimming off of it. Thanks again for all your help, Susan

The vacation at fish hook was almost magical for us, we loved it and absolutely will be coming back. Everything was perfect more than what I imagined. Thanks a lot for everything and I appreciated the early check in. Thanks a million Walt! Ehsan

We had the most relaxing vacation that we have had in a long time.  We loved the house and the privacy.  The hot tub was wonderful.  Everything was so perfect right down to the bathrobes.  We enjoyed watching the fog lift off of the lake each morning and the sun peeping over the trees as it was coming up in the morning.  I would recommend Fish Hook Inn to anyone who really loves privacy, the lake and the mountains and waterfalls that we found on Wayah Bald Road. Again, everything was perfect. Jennette

"What a great weekend! The cabin was truly beautiful and we had a very relaxing time. Thank you."

"We absolutely LOVED our stay. As a matter of fact, we're planning another trip there with some buddies, and we're trying to figure out when we can make it--six adults (three couples), and three kids (well, my kids are grown, but there will be a baby on this trip) and we're trying to arrange our schedules before all of your dates are taken up.

The trip was great.  Our kids ("kids" being 21 & 18, and my son's friend is 17) had a blast.  We used the paddle boat and we also brought a canoe.  I hope that that will be the first of MANY of our stays there.

Area Activities

There's plenty to do in the area. The cabin is just a short drive from the white water rafting and kayaking venues on the Nantahala and Ocoee rivers. That's in addition to all the great activities the North Carolina Smokies have to offer - Boating on Nantahala Lake - You may bring your own boat or jet ski, or rent a pontoon boat.

Fishing - A relatively low number of boaters makes Nantahala a great fishing lake. You'll find walleye, crappie, sunfish, trout and bass all available for your private fish fry at Moonlight Reflections. 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. Horseback riding- Several nearby stables, including Lonesome Dove Stables, offer guided trail riding.

Great Smoky Mountains Railroad, in nearby Dillsboro and Bryson City, offers several scenic excursions. Mountain Biking - The nearby Tsali trails offer some of the best mountain biking trails. Bikes can be rented at the Nantahala Outdoor Center .

Other nearby things to do- Great Smoky Mountains National Park Cherokee Indian Reservation Biltmore House Cherohala Skyway Blue Ridge Parkway.
 

Hope you join us in the mountains.

Don't miss the fabulous Autumn Leaf Season...
reserve now for next fall.

Nature's annual autumn color festival is certainly one of the greatest shows on earth and the peak begins in North Carolina's mountains higher elevations in late September and lasts to early November in the lower valleys.

Fall leaf color reports, along with suggested drives,
events calendar and plenty of area information.
