A rare and unique opportunity to own a piece of history, located in the National Forest of Western North Carolina on the edge of beautiful Lake Nantahala. Glen Choga is an historic lodge in rural Macon County, North Carolina. It is located in a clearing on the south side of Little Choga Road (North Carolina Route 1402), in the Nantahala National Forest. It very close to Lake Nantahala (1500’+/-). The lodge is a large U-shaped two-story log structure with a metal roof. It is now the oldest saddle notch chestnut log structure in North America. It was built in 1934-35, at a time when Little Choga Road was a major route between Franklin and Murphy. The builders were Alexander Breheurs Steuart and his wife Margaret Willis Hays, and was operated by them as a summer vacation destination until 1941. It did not reopen after World War II, and was converted into a private summer residence. Since the 70’s the current owners carefully maintained this Lodge and continued its legacy of being a special destination. The lodge has 35 rooms and has been painstakingly preserved in its original condition with limited modernization.Walking through this massive lodge is like being in a timewarp, complete with artifacts from the last century.
