Escape to the perfect lakefront getaway! It is the perfect lakefront escape with exceptional lake views from our large deck. Our spacious cabin offers great lake access and is just a short drive from all the fun-filled activities you could ask for. With nearby rafting, biking, ziplining, Cherokee, Bryson City, and Robbinsville, there's never a dull moment.

Enjoy your own private section of the dock. During the summer months, you can easily launch your boat right next to our dock and tie off right away. No more wasting your precious vacation time searching for a boat slip!

Take a dip in the refreshing lake waters or cast a line and try your luck fishing from our dock. For the thrill-seekers, bring your boat, water skis, and/or jet ski and play on the lake, or take a leisurely cruise through the stunning mountain-scaped lake. Don't forget to pack some sandwiches for a relaxing picnic on the lake or at the historic Fontana Dam.

If you're looking for more adventure, you won't have to go far. Go white-water rafting or kayaking down the Nantahala River, take a ride on the Great Smokey Mountains Railroad, go horseback riding, hike the Appalachian Trail, or challenge yourself on the famous Tsali Bike Trails. You can also tour the historical Cherokee or try your luck at the Cherokee Casino, all just minutes from our cabin. We like to think of our area of Western North Carolina as God's Theme Park, a place for recreation and relaxation that is sure to recharge your soul!

Our private dock walkway is shared with our other home, but each of our homes has its own reserved section. Our dock is conveniently located just outside the marina's no-wake zone, making it a quick and easy trip for supplies and gas. From May to early September, you can launch your boat and/or jet ski right next to our dock. The marina launch area is also just a short distance away. Please note that the dock may not be available in the winter as the TVA lowers the lake level. The marina adjusts our dock as the lake level lowers and rises to and from the winter levels.

We provide a golf cart for transporting people, coolers, and gear to the dock, as well as two ride-on top kayaks to get on the water for your convenience. Please note that availability depends on the prior guest caring for them during use, but we make a reasonable effort to ensure they are available for all guests.

Need more space for your party Check out our home next door (867682) and see if it's available. It's always more fun when everyone is close by!

    Beautiful week on Fontana Lake. Beds were comfortable and huge deck was fun for relaxing and games. This pet-friendly home is clean and fresh. Used the kayak once and swam in lake off dock, which was fun. Marina is 4 min away and we rented a pontoon several times - the people at the marina are friendly and helpful.

    Dream vacation!! We had the most peaceful, relaxing and fun vacation I can remember! Kitchen was stocked with everything from a really nice coffee pot to slow cookers to all sizes of pots and pans. Beds were really comfortable and there was ample seating space for our huge family. The private dock and deck overlooking the lake were our favorite features! George was super fast to respond to a few questions we had on the first day, and seemed like he would have been quick to fix any issues, if we would have had any.

    This home checked all the boxes and then some. Locations was great- near a marina if you want to rent a boat, short boat ride to the amphitheater on the water for the rope swing. Kayaks were liked by all, as well as a well set up dock with chairs and umbrellas. We always take paper towels, beach towels extra trash bags and spices as most rentals don’t provide that. This one has it all plus Very surprised that this home had doggy bowls, a cooler, games and firewood. We will absolutely return and recommend for all.

    This was our 2nd time staying at this property. We had a great time. House has all that you need for a great vacation. Beds are comfy. Large deck for our dogs to run around and my family to enjoy the evening lake views. Lake access is very easily accessible. Short distance to the house.

    Due to a last minute issue with airline travel plans, my family needed a backup plan for the Columbus Day holiday weekend. I found this listing by sport-clicking on VRBO. The owners were great with a response to a question I had about same-day availability (wasn’t available, but I appreciated the timely reply). The property is perfect for a large gathering. We only had three of us, so plenty of space to spread out. The cabin is pretty well kept inside, has a fully stocked kitchen and a grill on the deck. The location is great for peace and quiet, visiting Bryson City and taking day trips to the Great Smokey Mountains National Park. The only suggestion I have is to provide a little more detail for finding the cabin. The owners did provide a detailed check-in email which includes written directions. We just had a hard time figuring out which driveway to turn down. Perhaps a sign with the address on/near the gravel road would help…we didn’t see an address number until we went down the driveway and faced the cabin. Of note, typing the address in Wayz did get us in the ballpark. Everything is as advertised with this property…you’ll have a nice stay here.

    We enjoyed the deck looking out over Lake Fontana for hours! Quiet & peaceful with very little boat traffic. The house was convenient to rafting the Nantahala, visits to Bryson City, & site seeing in the Smokies. This was a great retreat for our family. Will definitely stay here again in the future!

    Great Family Gathering place. Lots of room. Easy to contain 4 children from 1 -10 years old. Easy to communicate with the owners. Close to the grocery store and lots of activities. Loved the easy access to lake via golf cart.

    This property is nice and secluded with beautiful views of lake Fontana. We enjoyed our stay there overall, but the home and the hot tub are both in desperate need of a deep clean. We also had difficulty accessing the dock which was about 20+ feet away from the shore and had not been pulled in for guest access. We contacted the property manager who then called the marina to come reel it in for us. Good place for a quiet, calm getaway, but we were somewhat disappointed by the state of the property.
