Lakefront Adventure: Private Hot Tub, Dock, Nearby Rafting, Biking & More!

Escape to the perfect lakefront getaway! Our cozy 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 (291348) and see if it's available. It's always more fun when everyone is close by!

Nice Environment
The property was about what I had hoped for. It had access to the lake and close to Nantahala Outdoor Center where we went rafting and zip lining. There's a boat rental close by. The people there were very friendly and helpful. Having a dock close to the boat rental place is very convenient. We were able to do quite a few adventures and had a great time!

Disappointed
Unfortunately, there's a lot to be disappointed with, as far the cleanliness of the place and communication with the host. Many of the appliances did not work well. The oven only turned off when you put it on clean mode. The shower was clogged, so you were constantly standing in a pool of water. The control panel for the hot tub had fallen off, thus exposing loose wires to the water. Most everything was dirty. The couches were musty, old, and very dusty. Much of the outdoor furniture had mold all over it, and if it didn't, it was covered in layers of dirt. I spent twenty minutes cleaning the outdoor table, just so we could feel comfortable sitting there. The carpets in the bedrooms were very stained. The bunk beds were precariously rickety, to the point that we weren't comfortable using the top bunk. The comforters were cheap and dirty feeling. I will say that the kitchen and bathroom had been cleaned, but that appeared to be it. We almost left a day early, but the beauty of the lake makes up for a lot. When we left, we emailed the host about it all. It's now been over 24 hours, and we have not received any sort of response. Though we will happily visit the lake again, we won't be staying here. I will say that when we booked i did not click on the button for pets and when i messaged him he waived the fee for us which was kind.

Beautiful lake retreat
We enjoyed our time at the lake house so much! The home had everything we needed for our 4th of July vacation. Fontana Lake is gorgeous! We brought our boat and the dock was perfect. The host provided a golf cart, kayaks, a fire pit, grill, and all the amenities we needed! We were very comfortable there. Thank you! We can't wait to come back!

Long weekend at the lake
Had a wonderful time, this is my second time renting and will definitely rent again! Brought my two Corgis with me and they had just as much fun, the ramp off the dock is perfect for ease of access for the dogs! Property is no frills but is perfect and what really makes the rental is the dock! There's nothing better than a few days at the lake to recharge. The addition of the firepit was great too! Thanks again for a wonderful stay!

Lake house
The dock really made the place great. No one was staying at the other camp at the time so had dock all to ourselves. The house was smaller than we thought but was fine for our family. Went hiking and fished at the lake, had fun. Caught catfish off the dock every day we were there. Kids enjoyed swimming at the lake during the day off dock and had fire at night at fire pit.
