About this house rental
Get away from it all and spend some quality time with the ones you love at the lake. This upscale home is located in a gated community at Fontana Lake. Truly lakefront, this home boasts its own private double-deck dock (yes, you can jump from the top if you dare) stocked with a canoe, pedal boat, kayaks, and stand up paddle boards. Seasonal pontoon rental is available for an extra fee so that you can explore this beautiful, large lake to your heart's content.
This upscale home has three bedrooms and three bathrooms, sleeping up to 10 guests comfortably. With a large wrap around, covered deck, you can grill out and enjoy the breathtaking view (you just might catch the scenic Great Smoky Mountain Railways train pass across the water), or cook meals for the family in the large, well-appointed kitchen. Catch fish from the private dock for dinner, roast marshmallows at the outdoor fire pit, or go for a run down the quiet gravel road. Tired out from activities? Watch a movie on the enormous projection screen home theater, or curl up with a great novel from the large library. Old and young will find plenty to do at the lake. Need to check in with work? Satellite wi-fi is provided.
The main floor of the house has two bedrooms and two baths (one king and one queen), while downstairs has a large bed room perfect for kids or young families (one full and two bunk beds) and an additional bath. The two upstairs bedrooms have flat screen televisions with Direct TV satellite, and blu ray players, and the downstairs family room has a large home theater system with surround sound. The main living room has an impressive stacked stone fireplace for cozy nights. The downstairs family room has gas logs.
The downstairs patio has a large hot tub for soaking those cares away.
Fontana Lake is part of the TVA system and varies its levels throughout the year. The lake is usually at full capacity from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Our dock stays in the water year round, though in the winter months, some traversing over rocky banks is necessary (my kids love exploring this "moonscape." Steps take you down to the dock and lake year round, but if you have guests who find stairs difficult, you can drive to the marina and pick them up there for easier access to the lake. Also, please note that the lower level of the house is accessed inside the house by a spiral staircase (there are also more gradual exterior steps). This can be blocked for young children, but parents should take note.

We had a wonderful week. The house was welcoming and comfortable. The kitchen was well supplied to meet the needs of a large family. Access to the lake kept the children occupied for hours. The owners were friendly and easily accessible.
Our family will definitely visit again.

We absolutely love this area, and staying at this house made our vacation. The location was fabulous — morning coffee on the deck listening to the birds was a great way to start the day. The kids enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boards. And ending the day watching the sunset as we grilled was perfection. The kitchen was fully stocked which made meals at home easy to prepare. We all enjoyed family movie nights on the large projection TV. Esther and Wayne were so welcoming and easy to deal with. Thank you for the memories!

This house is lovelier than the photos, super comfortable, incredibly well-stocked and was just the dream setting for a blended family holiday week, including the pups. Awesome artwork, beautiful views, comfortable beds, terrific amenities. We hope to return one summer to enjoy the boat/water toys!!

We had a group of 10 stay and were all extremely comfortable. The house was stocked with everything we needed and more. Toys and games for the kids were such a nice surprise. The neighborhood is quiet and private. I would recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in the area.

Plenty of room for extended family and kids. We rented the pontoon for the week and that was the best part. Wonderful hot tub and decks overlooking the lake. Great communication with the hosts who responded quickly to any concerns. Would go back!

Our family enjoyed a week in this beautiful lake house. This place is in a gated community with lots of privacy. The house is well stocked with plenty of room. The view from the deck and dock is incredible. The use of the boat was a huge bonus! Unfortunately, now my wife wants a house on lake Fontana. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and plan to return next summer.

We celebrated our 35th anniversary with our adult children and their partners. I have visited Fontana Lake since I was a kid and love it! All the other reviewers have highlighted the many perks of this property and we agree with all of them! It’s amazing how much room you have to spread out and our party of 9 had plenty of room! The dock is really not a bad walk. If you don’t handle stairs well, there is a trail down to the dock that is less steep. Even though we had a lot of rain over our 4 day weekend, we spent as much time as possible on the water. Everyone but me jumped off the top deck!! It is a perfect place for dogs. The enormous deck is gated and they loved patrolling the lake and the woods from their secure location. This a house clearly designed to make the best use of family time! It was well worth the splurge and I envy Wayne and Esther their slice of paradise. It is divine!! It is the most well equipped rental you’ll ever find!

This is the second time we have stayed at this property. It was so great the first time that we wanted to stay here again. Covid kept us from renting this home until 2022. We had another wonderful time here. Lots of watercraft to use, good dock and nice location on the lake.

We had a wonderful time at Wayne and Esther’s home. It is perfect for larger families and they provide everything you might need. We really enjoyed the pontoon boat and exploring Lake Fontana. Look forward to coming again!

A quiet, secluded place to relax and enjoy time with family. The leaves were beautiful and the fall mountain air was so refreshing! We will definitely be going back during warmer weather so we can access the dock and enjoy the water.

My family loved our stay. The house was as described - well stocked with everything we needed. We only left once to go for a hike at Deep Creek. We had a very relaxing time at the house and on the boat. We will be back. I give the hosts five stars!

Laid back vacation, the views from the pontoon were worth walking down the steps, coming back up on the gravel road was a little easier. Esther was super helpful in answering all of our questions. Fishing was not great but that’s why they call it fishing and not catching, we enjoyed trying and making memories.

This lakefront home was everything dreamed of for soaking up summertime with family! From the research and photos, we knew we were in for a treat with a beautiful home. Loved all the decks and dock, as there was ample space for everyone ... whether they wanted to be alone with coffee, to take in the peace from the morning mist on the lake, or they chose to be with the whole gang in the large open concept kitchen and family room, connected to the large deck. There were many amenities that were a pleasant surprise ... using the pontoon daily to enjoy wide open spaces on Fontana Lake, which is breathtaking. The day was never done when docking the boat, given the canoe, kayaks, paddle boards, and they were in different sizes which was perfect for a family of very different age ranges. The fire pit was so nice for evening smores. Even appreciated just how well equipped the massive kitchen is ... the appliances are everything I have in my own home, and far beyond what I would expect in a vacation home. The towels and sheets also felt very good, and made for a lovely surprise at the end of an eventful day. Thank you for all the beauty and relaxation provided in this sacred space! We truly feel rejuvenated and plan to be back!
