We arrived at the cottage around 5:00pm on the 18th. Honestly the house and property were even more than I expected. Everything you need to know is in the, well written welcome package. Only, you have to read it. lol! I made that mistake but the owner Tony couldn’t have been more understanding. He is assessable beyond what I would consider normal. With immediate answers to any questions. Besides that, the beauty of the cottage, along with the exceptionally clean interior and outside areas, then add in the beauty of the lake, then everything there that is available for you to enjoy…it’s above and beyond! I could go on but I’ll stop. Don’t miss this Emerald Cove if you are planning a stay in this area. (Did I mention the huge two car garage)?…

My wife and I had a lovely week with our school-age children and my parents. We swam off the dock, paddled kayaks, and rented a pontoon from a local marina. We also enjoyed hiking at the nearby Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest and rafting the Nanthahala River with guides from the Nanthahala Outdoor Center near Bryson City.

Tony was a great host! He was friendly and answered questions very quickly. The house was really nice and we were very comfortable. The view of the lake was absolutely beautiful and we loved having the covered deck and use of the dock and kayaks.

The stay was one of the best places I've stayed. The cottage is fully stocked up with utensils and dishes, games and a very large garage. The cottage is very easy to get to and the view of the lake is super nice. Will stay again in the future!
