Tsali Ultra Running Race weekend.

Tons of comfortable room to hangout inside. Tons of deck space outside with great views of lake. Windows all around. Great hot tub. Bedrooms extremely clean with excellent sheets and pillows.

Peace & Serenity

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!

Amazing Lake Trip

This was our first time staying on Lake Fontana and we loved every minute. We loved the golf cart to take us to and from the lake. Thank you for a great stay.

Thanksgiving Getaway

This house was amazing. The views of the lake and mountain were awesome. Lots of glass to see the beautiful outdoors. We prepared Thanksgiving there and the kitchen was better equipped than I could ever expected. We had a small issue that didn't affect the house but George came and corrected the issue on the holiday weekend. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back. It was easy and wonderful vacation.

Moseley Anniversary Celebration

Our stay was great, beautiful but not easy access to dock. The kitchen light was out and half the jets in hot tub didn’t work. Overall would recommend. Thank you

Weekend Getaway

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.

The View

Definitely a house with a view, we loved being on the porch and in the hot tub!! George took all things mentioned to him and responded right away with fixing them or relaying to his cleaning staff!! The dock, fire pits and kayaks were absolutely amazing and the golf cart to get down to them!! Make sure you check on water level in the area in the winter months but it is still so beautiful even as it is lowered!! We will definitely come back again!!

Great location on the lake

Great house on Fontana Lake. It was well stocked with household items including paper towels, toilet tissue, laundry detergent, garbage bags etc. I have stayed at houses where these items did not exist or were minimal. Kitchen was well stocked and house had plenty of seating inside and outside. Very comfortable beds and I loved that it was 2 Kings and then a room with 2 queens. Not a large or fancy house but very comfortable with a wonderful deck area and gorgeous view. Dock area was very nice and we did use a boat for the lake from there which was really nice. We had something come up on our original dates and we were able to change our dates to another available week. We would definitely rent this house again.

Last minute change of plans…thanks for the save!

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.

Close yet Isolated.

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.

Relaxing lakefront stay

We enjoyed our stay on Lake Fontana! The kayaks were fun and the hot tub was relaxing. The house was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The property manager was available for any questions we had. We would stay here again, and would bring our kids next time.

Beautiful and convenient fall getaway

Our family enjoyed our long weekend away in the mountains. The cabin was well equipped, spacious, and in a peaceful, beautiful setting. Our kids loved the kayaks and board games and everyone enjoyed the hot tub. We would definitely stay here again.

Enjoyed the deck! Beautiful beautiful Lake.

All in all it was a nice stay. This house is down a gravel road. Unfortunately, the housekeeper was still cleaning when we arrived at check-in time. We came back an hour later and she was still not done but almost so we started unpacking our things. Access to the house is easy. The deck is wonderful. It has a great view of the lake below and has plenty of seating and dining area. The grill was in good shape. The master bedroom and bath was a nice size. The bed was comfortable enough but I thought the sheets and towels smelled a bit musty. There were very few hangars available. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. Unfortunately, we could not use the boat ramp. There is a considerable hill to get to the dock and ramp and we did not feel comfortable navigating it with just a regular pickup truck. It’s gravel and steep and there were a few ruts. The “ramp” itself is not concrete and there was some debris we would have had to clear away. Given all these negatives, we opted against unloading our boat there. Good thing because just taking the boat back up the hill from the house we had to gun the truck to make it up the hill. The dock itself was in decent shape, with lots of chairs bolted down on it. Having use of the golf cart was great. It made it so much easier to go back and forth to our boat at the dock. We didn’t have any communication with the owner so I can’t comment on that. The lake is absolutely beautiful! We found a few places we could tie the boat up and hike - and we found a waterfall we could sit by on the boat. With the mountains surrounding you, it's just stunning.
