About this house rental

Prepare for a relaxing retreat where neighbors are not close and quiet is part of the attraction. This house is a fantastic space for families and friends. Close to many adventure related activities including hiking, biking, boating, motorcycling, and much much more. Freshly uplifted with fresh paint, decor, and furnishing. Perfect for a relaxing stay in the mountains or a perfect location as a base for exploration.

Enjoy a game of pool in our game room or a relaxing place to read on one of our porch swings. We have a handful of family board and card games. This house has three levels of decks and surrounded by trees, you will feel like you are the only one in the forest. There are limited views of the lake.

Location is key with this house and you are close to Lake Fontana, Bryson City, the Great Smoky Mountains, the Nantahala Gorge, Cherokee, and the Tail of the Dragon.

Things to Know

*Internet is available but can be spotty during bad weather, this is rare but can happen. We hope, if this happens, this is not an inconvenience but instead a perfect opportunity to have some quality time disconnected by playing games or connecting with the people and nature around you.

The basement, game room, is not controlled by HVAC and can be cold in colder months and warm in warmer months.

The third sleeping area is in a loft area with no walls to the lower level. This room has 2 beds, a couch, and private deck with great views out the windows.

Full Kitchen: We have had no issues cooking a Thanksgiving dinner here for a family of 8.

There is only 1 smart TV in the living room and it includes Netflix and Disney+ (Smart TV also means this does not work if internet is bad, feel free to bring a USB loaded device with your personal movies)

This house has three levels and therefore a lot of stairs and a lot of deck space (Approximately 1500 sqft of deck)

Parking: The parking space is small and tricky. We have had no issues with 2 vehicles but more than that and it requires you to, most likely, back down the long drive way. There is no way to turn a trailer around and should not be attempted. If you do bring a trailer you can inquire with one of the boat docks to see rules related to launching boats and parking trailers. I have seen trailers and trucks parked at the boat dock parking and at a number of places along the road, especially near the cemetery, but this is out of our control.

Pets: We are sorry but pets are not allowed at this property, service or other. A member of our family is severely allergic to pets and we prefer to not have this complication in our life when we enjoy the property.

Pontoon rentals available at Prince Boat Dock (1/4 mile), Fontana Village Resort Marina (17 miles), Almond Boat Dock (7 miles). These book fast and should be planned in advance.

*A security camera is installed at the front entry facing the driveway. This is a Ring Camera system and is motion activated. This does not view any personal space in the house or on the deck and is for the security of the house and the guests.

We have a family cabin on Fontana Lake but it's not big enough for everyone so we rented this house for overflow for a big family get together. We wish we could have stayed longer but we soaked in all the porch time we could get and enjoyed every moment. The house has everything you need, and appears just as described. It was clean and tidy and we've talked about staying again in the future. We didn't see the resident chicken some people have mentioned, but we did see some lizards and buzzards. We were sad to leave but were grateful for a quick getaway.

My family and I rented this home for our honey moon/ annual trip to Bryson City for the Polar Express. We arrived early and the property manager allowed us to go in early. There was a chicken that hangs around the property and it is the sweetest chicken I have ever met! The chicken let my 5 year old feed it! The home was spacious and cozy. The beds were nice. The home was more than we could have asked for.

We came to the area for a train trip through the mountains. We ended up staying at a beautiful home in a very quiet and private area. The owners were awesome and we had a great time. Thanks for everything.

The house was amazing! The pictures didn’t do it justice at all. It was the perfect place for all of us to unwind and relax, the only place we’ve ever stayed that we felt cozy enough that we barely went out. And the lake was so lovely! 1000/10 would recommend this property to everyone!

Man, this place was secluded, just what we needed. Secluded but a short drive to Bryson City and Nantahala. Lake Fontana is beautiful. Internet at the house was spotty, so if you intend to work remote, take that into consideration. Barely any cell service in the area, either. Lots of dark territory. We 100% will come again, and explore some of the area we didn't get to. Nantahala only got 1/2 day of our time, so thats on the list. Thank you!

House was better in person than the photos. Even though the photos were awesome, seeing it in person, it was more than we anticipated. Especially the bonus area over the car port with the corn hole set-up. Made for some competition between family members on top of the daily evening pool games. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything you need and then some. Views were amazing. So many decks to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning or sit outside at night and listen to nature and enjoy the evening sky. So close to everything you want to do. Tail of the Dragon, Bryson City, Cherohala Skyway and the Tsali mountain bike trails. We hit them all! The only thing I didn’t like, very minor, was the road up to the house and the driveway. Little sketchy but once you been up and down a few times and you get the “how to turn around” in the driveway, it’s wasn’t bad. We’ll definitely be back!

Our family enjoyed this lovely home when we went to Bryson City for the Polar Express. The property is conveniently located for other area tourist destinations as well. The house was clean and amenities were quality and plentiful. The owner was especially helpful with directions and communications.
