Kingfisher's Roost is a luxury lakefront two-bedroom nestled at the mouth of Lake Fontana. In the Summer, you will find a calm oasis just outside your door, and after Labor Day, the lower waterline transforms the property into a riverfront home where you can witness the changing ecosystem. No matter what time of year you're vacationing, you will love the beautifully manicured path to the water and the natural stone seating, perfect for casting a line! Enjoy the hot tub or sit by the fire pit while you observe wildlife, or take advantage of the private dock and your own personal gravel put-in, right beside the home. Bring your own boat, or rent one from Alarka Marina, about a mile away.

Perfect for a small family, or couples' retreat, Kingfisher's Roost is furnished with two King Bedrooms, offering maximum comfort and privacy. With views of the water from nearly every window in the house, there's no better way to relax! The open-concept layout of the kitchen, dining and living room makes a perfect atmosphere for sharing family time and recounting the day's adventures.

When you're ready to venture out you can enjoy dining, hiking, and shopping in Bryson City, only about a ten-minute drive. You can also hop on the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad from Bryson City to Dillsboro and enjoy sightseeing through the mountains. Venture to Cherokee for a historical tour or visit Harrah's Casino for games and entertainment. If you fancy a trip to Sylva, about a 30-minute drive, be sure to ask us about exclusive spa and dining discounts with our partners at Fusions Spa and Foragers Canteen! Are you ready for the real mountain experience We can't wait to have you!

**Lake levels fluctuate throughout the year. Even with lowered lake levels, fishing is not compromised and public access ramps are open all year, however, direct access from this property may be minimal during these months.

    Beautiful property and place, hot tub works great and was very thoroughly cleaned! Easy to drive to in a small car and the views were amazing! Nothing bad about this place to say! I will like to say the cleaning fee verses the actual cleanliness was a little overpriced, as soon as we arrived my husband immediately slipped on the back stairway/stone path between the deck and the hot tub. Not from any rain or weather but The deck is super slick and maybe needs a good pressure washing. I also had to clean out the k cup machine and wash our dishes before using them, which is no big deal considering I do that anyways. But my husbands fall was major & honestly could’ve been prevented. He came home with a softball sized, very nasty bruise to his lower back. He’s okay, he’s tough, but my point is simply for the cleaning fee, I would’ve expected the exterior walkways to have been sprayed off and cleaner. The first night, the chlorine scent was so strong we couldn’t stay in the hot tub long at all but I understand and at least I know it was sanitized lol overall the owners/rental agency were great with communication, no complaints about them at all, also to note nobody was contacted about my husbands fall as there was nothing we could’ve expected from them but I feel as though if we had called they would’ve done anything they could to accommodate. We enjoyed our thanksgiving holiday overall & look forward to visiting again!

    Loved this place for a weekend getaway! Sounds of the creek by the fire pit, upstairs bed is super comfy. Quick 15 minute drive into Bryson city. Will definitely be back! Only quarrel is that the coffee maker was not good. Ha.

    Property need some upgrading. Near fire pit was falling in. We could not get our boat across the narrow bridge coming into the property. The owner told us it would be no problem using their ramp but not being able to get to the property with the boat did not help at all. We were from Friday night until Tuesday without internet. No fault of the owner but still in a bad place for an emergency. The house was prettty nice, clean, everything worked. Trash was a bit complicated for staying an entire week. Perhaps a bin of somesort to place trash in, of course bear proof. The owners did communicate very well with us. It was a good time with family. Thank Goodness for Matt and staff, at Larka Marina. They were very helpful to us. We were able to get our boat up to the owners dock which was very helpful on our 4 trips down to the Lake.

    We stayed here as we wanted a quite cabin on the water and near kake Fontana. We had two wonderful meals, great quite eveningsbsitting on the deck in the latebevening and the woods came alive with Frogs and crickets. We could hardly hear each other talk. We rented a nice pontoon boat from the Alarka Marina just an 1/8th of a mile away and crusied the lake for 8 hrs. Amazing. The staff was great. Very enjoyable!

    We had an excellent week at Kingfishers Roost. The rental was outstanding and had everything we needed. The location was the perfect balance of seclusion with a quick drive into Bryson City. The river was beautiful!

    House was clean, comfortable, with basic supplies, wifi/tv worked well, hot tub was clean and well maintained, House not on lake but on a creek that feeds the lake, water had been let down so basically a mud hole remained, could not use the dock sitting since on the ground, no swimming or fishing since the lake was gone well before they said it would be lowered, should have booked a house on the main body of the lake, would not recommen or return

    The cabin was absolutely perfect for our family! The location was amazing, and the cabin and grounds were beautiful! May need to add some more daily essentials in the kitchen such as pans, coasters, etc. We had a great time and would definitely stay at this cabin again.

    Location was perfect, and secluded. Enjoyed the peace of the woods and lake. Did some whitewater as well as tubing. Perfect location and center to get out and do everything the mountains has to offer.

    Our stay was amazing. The house is the last one on a quiet gravel road so it was quiet and felt private even with the road across the lake. The view from the house never got old and we didn't want to leave. One word of warning to future renters with boats: The boat ramp is for kayaks only. The listing is disingenous at best when they advertise a boat ramp. We went at full pool and the bottom of the ramp is too shallow to launch a boat. I also wouldnt take anything larger than 18' because you wont be able to turn around your trailer and you dont want to have to back your rig up that narrow road. You can launch at Alarka for free but they do not have trailer parking.

    We enjoyed our stay with swimming, fishing and kayaking. The hot tub was great at end of day! The driveway was a little rough but overall property was clean and well maintained. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks for a great week ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
