Lake View of Fontana Lake close to Great Smoky Mountains and Tail of the Dragon

This cabin was exactly what I had hoped for when I booked it. My goal for our New Years Week trip was to find a home in the Smokey mountains with good views, less noise, and amenities that would make “staying home” more palatable for my 3 kids and wife. After a week stay, I can say this home was exactly that.The home allowed me plenty of space for groceries and cooking, a couple game nights with the family, the pool table (and sticks) was legit with a standard 8 ball triangle and 9 ball rack, and my personal favorite was a soak in the hot tub in the cold winter nights. Chefs kiss.This home had us in the middle of a triangle of the things to do in this area. The Nantahala Outdoor Center is 20 min south, the Fontana Lake Dam and Village is about 30 min West, and Gatlinburg is about 90 min North (the drive through the Smokey’s to Gatlinburg is the real destination). This was our first time visiting this area and we have already made plans to visit again in the summer time so we can experience Fontana Lake.The host was excellent to deal with as well. Easy communication and straight forward check-in and check-out instructions. Overall, we were very pleased with everything this location and home had to offer and we will definitely be seeking to return the next time we visit Lake Fontana / The Smokey Mountains.

Cabin was clean and fully stocked with toiletries, pillows, blankets, etc. communication was spot on. Peaceful location. I would def stay here again! Great for families with small kids and Thor without kids. Our stay was for a trip to the polar express in Bryson. Proximity was perfect. 20-22 min to downtown. Restaurants within 15 ish min. But still secluded enough for tranquility

Beautiful home! Loved the proximity to Smoky Mountain National Park and Bryson City / Polar Express Train. The house was laid out really well with plenty of beds and the kitchen was stocked well with cookware. We really enjoyed the hot tub and pool table downstairs. Hosts were quick to respond. Would highly recommend.

Perfect getaway for riding the Dragon.

Beautiful home, really enjoyed the hot tub. Nice, quiet house.

Overall the place was great and i hpe to stay there next year.The lake can be seen from the top balcony but its a long distance away. The main living area was great. It has a very large and comfortable sofa that can fit 4 people lying down. The bedrooms were large and the mattresses were nice. The kitchen had everything needed. Having the hot tube and pool table helped on the days we got rain. Having all the maps showing all the different driving roads in the area was a great benefit. A few minor things that would make the stay evan better, 1. Replace the grill. Burners are rusted out and get a new cleaning brush.2. Add a dart board to the pool table area and a Bluetooth speaker to play music.3. Have the cleaning crew clean the area that is off the master bedroom where the corn hole game is. Walked into a few spider web's. Maybe add some furniture and other games to this room. It would make the stay evan better than it was. 4. The breaker on the hot tube tripped nightly. (Not sure if thats on purpose) but if you forgot to turn the breaker back on in the morning and start the heating process, it would take until the next day to get back to temp. You will not be disappointed saying here. Whether with a group of friends to ride the Tail and all the other amazing roads or just your family. Motorcyclists, be aware, there is a small section(few hundred feet) of the road thats not paved and at a good incline when leave the main road to enter the long driveway. Its manageable

I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the home. The home has very comfortable furniture and is set in a very quiet and secluded area. It is the perfect relaxation home or the midway point of many areas of adventure. I would not hesitate to stay again.

We had an amazing time staying at this property. We did the train ride through the mountains, white water rafting at NOC, tried (failed lol) fishing, and we were close enough to make a day trip to Pigeon Forge. The area is beautiful and so quiet. You’re close enough to go out and have fun but secluded and quiet when you come home. Absolutely beautiful and had an amazing time. Thank you so much.

The place is wonderfully quiet, five miles from a dollar tree, which helps if you forget something at home. The cabin is great, except that we didn't have gas, or at least the fireplace didn't light up for us, and we could barely go down to the play area because it was too cold. Otherwise, we recommend the house, very nice and cozy, and we will definitely go back. We thank you for your work.

We loved it. Everything was as described. Host was responsive to our needs. Beautiful place,great views!

If your wanting something quiet and off the beaten path this is it.

Beautiful with lots of space to hang out. Surrounded by woods, making it feel very secluded. Only about 15 minutes away from the grocery store and right in the middle of a lot of great motorcycle rides.. After a long day of writing you get to come home and relax in the hot tub. Couldn’t ask for much more. I saw that the homeowner mentioned the Internet can be spotty and we happen to have a Starlink subscription for our Houseboat so we just brought our dish with us and set it up on the back porch that worked great..

This place was so clean and inviting. We really enjoyed our stay.

Nice secluded house. We enjoyed the speakeasy downstairs and played several games of pool. Our second night was a cornhole tournament. We also enjoyed the hot tub and cooked a delicious dinner here. We had way too much space for the two of us but absolutely enjoyed our time here. We only had one truck with us and had no issues with the road or driveway. The NOC was less than 20 minutes away. Would love to come back with a couple friends! Thank you for sharing your home!

There were 5 of us that have been friends since high school (or before) that hadn’t seen each other in years. We had a great weekend and LOVED this property! Plenty to do just staying at the house - everything was clean and as described. We had a great weekend and would absolutely stay here again!

We have a family cabin on Fontana Lake but it's not big enough for everyone so we rented this house for overflow for a big family get together. We wish we could have stayed longer but we soaked in all the porch time we could get and enjoyed every moment. The house has everything you need, and appears just as described. It was clean and tidy and we've talked about staying again in the future. We didn't see the resident chicken some people have mentioned, but we did see some lizards and buzzards. We were sad to leave but were grateful for a quick getaway.
