Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Nottely Lake

Great hosts. Cabin was stocked with loads of information about the area and things to do... even a grocery discount card to use. The coffee station has brewed coffee, Keurig, hot tea - very well stocked. The kitchen was well equipped as well. The front and rear porch are very comfortable, with beautiful views. This is one of our favorite places in the mountains to visit. Close to great hiking and lake fishing. A very good value for the money.

Very nice place and hosts were very responsive and helpful with everything. Enjoyed our stay very much.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! We loved it so much, this was our 2nd stay. Group of 13 friends just hanging out for the weekend. Things that stand out include the absolutely pristine bathrooms and the fully stocked kitchen. All the pans, utensils, cutting boards, baking pans, etc. you need. Lots of places I've been to don't have things like measuring cups but they have everything. When we had questions, response was fast. Nice common area for everyone to hang out in. Just a great place.

We enjoyed our four nights! Rachel communicated quickly throughout the process, and we had everything we needed during our stay! If the opportunity arose, we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. Thank you!

Josh was a very friendly, responsive host and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. The location of the property was beautiful and close to downtown Helen while still feeling like you’re out in nature. Also the place is huge so had more than enough room for everyone on our trip!

What an incredible cottage. We booked last minute and were SO pleased. We hike, hike and more hiking so having a clean and comfortable place is always number 1. The home was peaceful and quiet and bright (big windows to see the beauty outside). The home was clean and had everything anyone could need. There were amazing instructions - never had to wonder. You could tell so much love and attention went into the home. We treated it just like our own and hope to be back. Great location not far from Hayesville or Franklin. The area is an outdoors paradise. Every cooking thing you could think of. Made cooking dinner so easy. The beds were comfortable and the master even had a fan - which I love. My husband left his phone charger at home. Joan even had one for his phone. Books to read and games and beautiful bird feeders to watch. Such a beautiful place. I so appreciated the no cleaning fee. We gave traveled all over and this one is one of the BEST! Thanks, Joan!

Really enjoyed the home. Our trip was cut short due to anticipated weather to travel 11-12 hrs home. Would love to come back and enjoy the porches during different seasons. During our stay it was cold and rainy. Place was as described- clean, comfortable, and relaxing. Rodney was very responsive and understanding when it came to checking out earlier than planned. Would definitely stay again.

Stayed for a girls trip, would definitely go back! House was as pictured and view from living room was better than expected. We had room to spread out and several places to hang. Three clean large bathrooms. Kitchen was well stocked. Hot tub was warm on arrival.

I had a great stay. The place is very easy to find and in a great location. Was very impressed with how clean and organized everything was. Would highly recommend staying at river romance.

Loved our stay in Helen. Kendra was an awesome host who was extremely responsive and provided great recommendations. The place had an amazing river view, and the best shower in the area, perfect way to unwind after a full day of hiking.

Mike and Karen were gracious hosts! Their Airbnb was cute and had a beautiful front lawn. Would recommend to anyone needing a place in the area!

The resort is lovely! It’s a nice get away. Just keep in mind cell service is limited in this area! It’s beautiful. 😍

This place was the calm and relaxing we needed! It was gorgeous, cozy and comfortable! There was tons to do locally and lots of outdoor activities. The best part was the hot tub after a day of hiking! 10/10 Will be back on our next trip. Host Scott was responsive and attentive.

we enjoyed our stay.. very clean. GPS had us lost and James was very patient with me calling and asking for directions.

Great location, we were able to walk everywhere. Very clean and enough room for 2 of us.

location is amazing. the home was extremely clean. it had all the amenities. everything was perfect. we can't wait to come back !

I work remote and rented Damien's home for a month to disconnect and get away from big city life for a little, and it was the best decision I've ever made. This airbnb was perfect for me and my pup. It has a creek and hiking trail on the massive property which makes for extremely pleasant dog walks. I never had an issue with the Starlink wifi (and I had a lot of devices connected and take zoom meetings all day) while the home is super private and secluded, the town of Franklin with everything you need is less than 10mins away. No complaints about this house or homeowner, one of my favorite Airbnb stays ever and I will definitely be returning in the future. 10/10 would recommend!

The Castle of Joy was amazing to stay at!!! The welcome book provided was super helpful in determining where to eat, shop for groceries or items, activities, etc. The bottom half of the home was really cool! it felt like the more we explored the castle the more cool things we found. Unfortunately, it rained most of the time we were there so we didnt get a chance to walk too much of the trails (consequence of booking in advance). However, I'm sure if I wanted to cancel or reschedule the booking, it would be easy to do so withing 10 days of the check in date (review cancellation policy). My booking was for just 2 people. However, this gem is definitely meant to be shared with a group booking!

My family and I had the time of our lives! It was absolutely beautiful and looked exactly like the pictures! Craig was amazing and very fast with his responses! He checked in on us and made sure everything was just as we expected! My mom is disabled and is wheelchair bound and the home even had a ramp to get her into the main floor and that’s hard to find in the mountains! My sister lives in Nantahala and I love visiting up there to see her but we decided to get an Airbnb this time and we will now always stay here! We were blown away! And also the hot tub is massive my whole family basically fit in it! Thanks again Craig!!

Beautiful home on the river that was nicely secluded. The walk down to the river is a bit steep but my 85 year old mom did it just fine. The house was clean, with excellent instructions for check-in and an easy check-out process.

The home was very clean and comfortable. Many thoughtful amenities and supplies were here helpful.
