Q. Is there cell phone service at the property?
A. Cell phone service around Nantahala Lake is limited due to the remote mountain setting. Some carriers may have signal in certain areas. Wi-Fi is available at most cabins and yurts and is generally reliable for browsing, streaming, messaging, and staying connected. This allows guests to make calls and access the internet even when cell service is limited. Many visitors enjoy the balance of having Wi-Fi available while still being able to unplug and take in the peaceful surroundings. We recommend downloading maps, directions, and any important content prior to arrival for the best experience.
