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.
Coffee on the deck every morning watching Bald Eagles and other birds fishing for their breakfast.

Summer 2025 Lake Vacay

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Everything plus some

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.
