About this house rental
This cabin will be available in December 2024.
Welcome to Lookout Lodge, your exclusive mountain retreat offering privacy, tranquility, and
stunning views. Situated just 5 minutes from lake access, this upscale cabin is a perfect escape
for nature lovers, adventure seekers, and anyone looking to unwind in luxury. Accessible via
wide, paved roads, Lookout Lodge welcomes all vehicles, including motorcycles, right to its
driveway.
Location: Centrally located between Bryson City and the Nantahala Outdoor Center, Lookout
Lodge is a prime spot for exploring the area. Within 15 minutes, you’ll find shopping, dining,
whitewater rafting, tubing, the Bryson City Scenic Train Depot, the Tsali Recreation Area for
mountain biking and hiking, Deep Creek, the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, and more.
For lake lovers, private access to Fontana Lake is just 5-10 minutes away, with hiking trails,
lakefront gazebos, grills, and a marina offering a day-use dock and boat launch. Bring your
fishing gear or water toys and enjoy the pristine, natural shoreline.
Outdoor Living: Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by a spacious deck with comfortable seating,
offering uninterrupted views of the mountains. Gather around the “Tiki” fire pit for cozy evenings
under the stars or relax in the hot tub, where you can soak in the picturesque, multi-layered
mountain views. On summer nights, watch as fireflies light up the magical, star-filled skies.
Interior and Amenities: Step inside to an open and airy space featuring wood floors, reclaimed
beams, and floor-to-ceiling windows, bringing the outdoors in. The great room, with its focal
point rock fireplace, is a perfect spot to unwind after a day of adventure. The fully appointed
chef’s kitchen, designed for gourmet cooking, flows into the dining area with seating for eight. A
large screened porch off the dining room is perfect for reading, yoga, or simply enjoying the
serenity of the mountains.
Entertainment & Relaxation: The game room offers something for everyone, including a
shuffleboard table, shuffleboard bowling, board games, a large flatscreen TV, a game table, and
a full bar (B.Y.O.B). Whether you’re watching a sports event or playing cards, the game room
provides a lively space while the bedrooms remain quiet and undisturbed.
Home Office: For those combining work with leisure, Lookout Lodge features a loft office
equipped with a desk, computer monitor, and arguably the best mountain views in the cabin.
High-speed, unlimited internet ensures you stay connected and productive.
Bedrooms: Each of the four bedrooms is thoughtfully designed with luxurious touches. The main
level features a master suite with a king bed, luxurious linens, and an en-suite bathroom with a
jetted tub and separate shower. Upstairs, the second master (Jr. Master) offers another king
bed, large windows with mountain views, and a cozy chaise lounge. The third bedroom features
a queen bed and a skylight, perfect for stargazing. The private loft bedroom has two twin beds
(a day bed and trundle), making it ideal for families or children.
Additional Highlights:
• Peaceful privacy and long-range mountain views
• Spacious great room with a rock fireplace
• 5 large flatscreen TVs
• Game room with shuffleboard, board games, and game table
• Large deck with “Tiki” fire pit and sparkling hot tub

To ensure the sustainability of our beautiful mountain environment, we kindly ask all guests to use water mindfully during their stay. Please limit shower times, turn off the tap while brushing your teeth, and report any leaks immediately. We also encourage the reuse of towels and linens to reduce water consumption. These small actions help preserve our natural resources and keep the mountains pristine for future visitors.

Thank you for understanding, and we look forward to your visit!
Attention: Active Wildlife in the Area
Our area of WNC is currently experiencing increased wildlife activity, particularly from bears. While it’s a privilege to share our environment with these magnificent creatures, it’s essential that we all take precautions to ensure our safety and theirs.
Please follow these guidelines:
Secure all food and garbage: Bears are attracted to strong smells. Do not leave food in your car and reattach bungee cords to trash can lids every time.
Be aware of your surroundings: Stay alert, especially during dawn and dusk when wildlife is most active.
Avoid close encounters: If you see a bear or other wildlife, maintain a safe distance and do not approach.
Travel in groups: When possible, hike or explore with others, and make noise to alert animals of your presence. Keep dogs leashed at all times.
Your cooperation is crucial in maintaining a safe and harmonious environment for everyone. Thank you for your attention and care.
