Make Nantahala National Forest your next getaway

If you’re looking for natural beauty and Smoky Mountain grandeur, Nantahala National Forest is the place for you. The largest national forest in North Carolina, Nantahala offers over 600 miles of trails for hiking, biking, and exploring. Warm-weather visitors will find Nantahala National Forest an ideal place for whitewater rafting, fishing, swimming, horseback riding, and so much more. It’s not just a summer destination, though: the North Carolina Smoky Mountains are renowned for their fall colors, and a winter visit to a Nantahala cabin rental can be a cozy weekend getaway.

Recent Nantahala National Forest vacation rental reviews

The house is perfectly set up for the maximum enjoyment and comfort. The hot tub, horse shoes, corn hole, and fire pit by the river add fun and relaxation. It's a short drive to either Cherokee or Bryson City for great shopping and dining. We will be back.
