Secluded Cabin Overlooking Fontana Lake & Smoky Mtns NP

The view was beautiful. The house was very clean and cozy. The kitchen was stocked with everything you need for cooking. Check in was easy and communication with the host was excellent. We would definitely come back to stay!

Wonderful Family Cabin with Amazing ViewsThe booking process was seamless online, and the host was always quick to respond whenever I had a question. From the moment we arrived, the cabin was clean, welcoming, and clearly well cared for. One of the most thoughtful touches was the welcome plaque with our family name on it—it made us feel instantly at home.The three-level layout was perfect for our family with adult children. Each of our kids and their significant others had their own space, which made the stay comfortable for everyone while still allowing us to gather together as a family.We also truly appreciated the little touches that made our dogs feel welcome. It was clear the hosts understand that dogs are just as much a part of the family as the people.Communication with the host was exceptional—from the welcoming text message before arrival to the follow-up during our stay. The property itself was relaxing, with exceptional views and beautifully maintained grounds.The location is another huge plus. During our 8-day stay, we were able to explore several nearby areas including the Great Smoky Mountains, Gatlinburg, Nantahala, and Knoxville. Having so many options for hiking and sightseeing within driving distance made it easy to experience something new each day.This was a lovely family vacation. I would highly recommend this cabin to any family—especially those traveling with adult children— looking for a comfortable and memorable mountain getaway.

Great time

We had an amazing time. The house has an amazing, amazing view, it is a beautiful property, very well equipped and beautifully decorated. Hope to come back at some point. Totally recommended, we all loved the place.

Amazing view of Fontana Lake and the surrounding mountains, making the cabin a great spot to relax and enjoy the scenery. Property was very clean and well maintained. Check-in check-out were very easy, with straightforward access to the cabin and no issues getting in or out. The upstairs bedroom was getting uncomfortably hot, especially at night, which made sleeping less comfortable than the rest of the cabin.

This cabin was amazing! The cabin was very spacious, very clean and had everything we needed. All the bedrooms were way larger than you could ever imagine and has plenty of bathrooms. There was five adults and four children in out party and we had plenty of room. The views from this place is beautiful! It is back in the woods with plenty of privacy and on the way in there were a couple of trees down blocking the road but we made one phone call to Robert and he got them taken care of right away. I highly recommend this cabin for a place to stay.

This being our second time at Fontana Lake, our visit was still amazing! We stayed a month later than last time and the views were awesome. I would not change a thing about this location. A pool table would be great since we stayed in a majority of this trip, as the weather was cold at times. If you think you need it, it's there. We actually met the owner of the fire wood place at the end of the road this time. He seems fun. If you are in need of a relaxing spot check thismone out. You will not be disappointed.

The kitchen had any and everything you needed! We cooked 2 meals a day and had everything. Very sufficient dishes, utensils. Very clean house lots of linens. We had 5 couples and accompanied everyone! Best friends vacation ever !!!!Thank you Robert for sharing your home! Fontana Cabins was

Everything was wonderful. A beautiful home..spectacular views. The decor was very nice. So many unique rooms to enjoy. The grounds were very pretty too. We had a good time around the firepit. Loved it.

Everything that you see in the pictures for this listing is completely accurate. Beautiful scenery, beautiful house, everything it says it is. This was my second time renting and I’m definitely going to be renting next year also.

We absolutely loved it! The property was amazing, with breathtaking views overlooking Fontana Lake. The room and bathroom were spotless, and the kitchen had every utensil we could possibly need. The check-in process was smooth and easy, and the whole place felt so peaceful and secluded — perfect for relaxing and unwinding. We truly had a great experience and would love to come back again!

This is our fifth year celebrating a birthday with a week at Fontana Cabin. That probably says it all. If you enjoy nature and solitude, this is the perfect place for you. Robert responds immediately to any questions you may have, though we rarely have them after staying here so often. One thing to note is that the cabin is considered remote by many folks who did not grow up in the country, so don't plan on running out for something you might have forgotten. It isn't 10 minutes but more like 25 minutes each way to the grocery store. We love that, but realize that it would be a shock for some.We can't say enough good things about the property or the hosts. Excellent all around!

What a great home in a secluded and beautiful area! The hosts were amazing too! We had some unforeseeable circumstances arise and they were incredibly understanding and responsive.

We enjoyed this cabin SO much. We needed Nothing during the stay. The view from the deck and downstairs living space were worth the trip alone! BUT there is so much more! EXCELLENT communication before the trip, the day of and after the stay. Host shares information on the cabin, how to get there, things near to it and extended area. The cabin is stocked with things you don’t typically find in a rental. Beds were comfortable, bathrooms had good water pressure and hot water for all, easy entryways… We found ourselves complimenting it throughout our stay. We had so much fun on the water (not accessible from cabin) and made many memories gathering at the cabin, we are already planning next year!

Great cabin, moderately easy to get to even with our sports cars (about 5 min on gravel roads). View was amazing, overall in good condition and clean all the way around. Lots of room with a game room and separate living room. Please be aware the 5th bedroom is more of an open loft with no privacy so its really a 4 room cabin.

This was our third time staying at the cabin and already planning for the fourth visit! Communication with the owner is seamless and pleasant. Every visit, the cabin is always very clean and organized. Secluded, quiet, comfortable, relaxing, an overall amazing 'escape' from the every day. We tend to spend most time on the covered deck breathing in the mountain air, listening to the birds and allowing the stress to melt away as we gaze at the water and mountains. And because the cabin is pet friendly, we can enjoy these moments with our fur kids.

Fontana cabin is the perfect destination for families looking to stay in a spacious, homely house with breathtaking views. Small note for improvement to add shampoo and conditioner for guests.

The place was beautiful and clean! You can't beat the view!! It was very roomy, we never felt crowed & everyone had their on space. Our family had a wonderful time!

The weather was against us but the house was perfect. Lots of space. Firepit area was great!We fit 3 pickups and 2 cargo trailers with no issues. The driveway is not for the faint of heart! It is steep and curvy so I would not recommend for beginner riders! For experienced riders, it is manageable. Overall a great rental!!!

We had an amazing stay at Fontana Cabin! The property was well kept and directions were made very clear on the way up the mountain where to go. The cabin was very clean and well appointed and very nice inside. The view was spectacular - pictures don’t do it justice! We love to cook so one of our favorite parts was the kitchen. Anything and everything you need is there and it’s all so nice - like what you’d have in your own home. It was secluded and peaceful - just what we needed. We will be back!

Great mountain getaway with amazing views of the Great Smoky Mountains and Fontana Lake. The house was very clean and accommodating for our family.

Second time I've used this cabin for our annual Dragon trip and we're planning to continue for years to come! That says it all.

My family gathered together from multiple states across the country for my mother's 70th birthday celebration, and this home could not have been more perfect.Robert was incredibly steadfast and attentive in his communication, information and instructions. He provided a handful of suggestions for things to do - which if you are an outdoor lover, there are a plethora of activities to engage in throughout the area!The home is lovely on its own, though, and we really did not need to go too far to have fun. Our family cooked every meal at home, and we were surprised how stocked the kitchen was with appliances compared to most rental homes - we truly did not need anything beside groceries! The views alone were more than enough for us. We spent most of our time eating, talking, laughing and playing on the porch, simply watching the clouds and rain move over the mountains.Was a sublime time, would love to visit again! Thank you!

Everything about our stay was perfect. The views are unlike anything any of us have seen before. We had a group of 12, ranging from all ages and our dog and we didn’t feel crowded at any point. The cabin was larger inside than the pictures show. The kitchen was fully stocked, we had everything we needed to make breakfast and dinner. Thank you so much Robert and Danielle, this trip was truly unforgettable and we’d love to come back again.

Held our large group of family members (human and animal). Would definitely stay again!

Beautiful location and view. Very secluded quite for the perfect getaway.

The stay at the Fontana Lake cabin was absolutely amazing! The stunning view of the lake was worth the entire trip! The house was well furnished and had all kitchen needs possible. It was also decorated so cute for the holidays! The first two days of the trip it snowed which was a special experience for our kids. Overall a great experience!

Great retreat! A place to check out from everyday hustle and bustle

Everyone loved the house/property, the view was gorgeous! The owners are great host’s and made everything so easy!

I don’t have anything bad I can say. This property and the owners are amazing and we want to book again soon to stay longer!

Our group enjoyed the peaceful seclusion of this beautiful property. We spent a week at the cabin and left only once to see some of the local waterfalls. The views of Lake Fontana and background mountains were stunning, particularly during early morning and before sunset. The cabin itself is spacious, well appointed, and was very comfortable for our group. We highly recommend this property.

The house is Amazing with nice view, very clean and quiet place . I had a good time with my family . The season was perfect To take autumn pictures.

Our stay at Fontana Cabin was amazing!!! Starting with the initial booking, Mr. Robert is a great host and was very informative. Please read all the material he sends you. It is worth it. The cookware and property essentials are well up to date. The only thing you need is your food, of course. The beds are very comfortable. Fontana Cabin is very spacious. There is no need for everyone to be under one another. There is plenty of room to spread out. The balcony/deck will be your favorite spot. It was for us. Since our stay was after Hurricane Helene, we did not venture off the property too far. We did a little scenic drive, and it was worth it. the views of nature are just breathtaking. Trust me, you will be very pleased with your stay here. NO ONE WANTED TO LEAVE!!!! We most definitely will return for a future visit. We tried to book another visit before we left but the date we wanted was already taken.

Robert and Danielle were great! We couldn’t be more pleased with the house and everything that it had to offer. Definitely not your typical Rental. Everything was clean, the beds were comfortable, and a fantastic view.

Cabin was very clean, plenty of space, incredible view, and very close to the dragon, moonshiner, etc. Went with a group of guys, 6 cars, and we all loved it!

Beautiful and well equipped cabin in a secluded area, perfect for a relaxing weekend or home bae for activities in the area (we hiked, boated and whitewater rafted). Robert gave us all the info we needed and everything was as described. Hope to return in the future!

This is our fourth stay at the Fontana Cabin, so it has become a tradition. Robert is very caring and professional; he ensures we have everything we need to have a wonderful stay. Don't let the dirt/gravel road scare you. Sime of our group drove sedans and had no trouble at all. We always bring everything we need for the week. I grew up here so we sometimes leave for a meal out, but for the most part, we sit on the porch and enjoy the incredible view.

The home was perfect! Gorgeous views! Close enough but also secluded to everything. Would love to visit again. Thank you!

Even better in person! It's a breathtaking view, easy access property. We had plenty of inside and outside hangout space, large kitchen, and close to the lake. Perfect for our crew of friends! Thank you!

Beautiful quiet remote location... plenty of room for our extended family group. Extra fridge in garage was helpful.

Great stay!! The location is remote, but that’s what makes it the perfect place to unwind. The view from the porch is AMAZING! The home is so well stocked, it exceeded our expectations. The kitchen had every tool and gadget that we could ever need. Thank you for helping us make great memories!

The road leading to the house is winding and twisting and gives you an exciting expectation of what lies at the end. We finally reached the house and unloaded. This house has very well appointed rooms and the kitchen is well equipped with everything. We stayed in the very roomy master bedroom which had a new memory foam mattress on it that gave me the best sleep I’d had in a long time. My sister and her husband slept in the queen room. They were accustomed to a king bed but my sister was having back and leg issues and could not sleep downstairs. Her son, his wife and grand daughter slept up stairs. We appreciated being able to have our small dogs stay with us and they loved the porch overlooking the lake but we watched them carefully because we were concerned they might squeeze through the slats of the railing. Screening at least in the lower part would have been perfect to insure their safety. The weather did not cooperate with us, as it rained most of the time. We did enjoy watching the storms roll in over the mountains and the cloud cover. One day a rainbow appeared like we had never seen before. It was huge and so close. Listening to the sound of rain on the roof was wonderful and the frogs serenading us at night was great. We tried renting a pontoon boat at the very nice Fontana Marina but had to return after an hour because of the weather. The lake is so clear, clean and beautiful. Ingles grocery store had everything we needed and we did a lot of eating!

Second time at the secluded cabin and ready to book for a third time! Robert's communication was again outstanding. Upon arrival, the cabin was spotless and well-organized. The kitchen is well stocked with pots/pans, dishes/bowls, utensils, etc.,and the showers/tubs are great. No words for the amazing view from the deck. It truly calms your mind and reminds you to slow down, relax, and breathe in the mountain air. For us, the best things about the cabin are the location/view and that it is pet-friendly. Thank you for another comfortable, peaceful and relaxing visit.
