Fontana View 1 - Ridgetop - Gated Community

Fontana View 1 is a custom hand-crafted log home perched on a ridge-top bordering US Forest Service land. The cabin is smaller and cozy, but the outdoor space is abundant, and the view is magnificent. You can also mountain bike or hike from your cabin down Horse Branch Trail directly to Tsali Recreation Area!

Your kitchen is appointed with Corian countertops, fully equipped with appliances, including a dishwasher, microwave, and coffee maker (we provide local coffee!) We also provide you with all the dishes, utensils, and cooking tools you'll need. A gas grill is provided for BBQ connoisseurs (full propane tank included).

The great room features a cozy living and dining area with a table suitable for seating four adults. The modern-rustic decor features a microfiber sleeper sofa, hardwood floors, and log-wall interiors. The hand-crafted log staircase and twig railing are the featured architectural appointment of this cabin.

All our cabins feature both down and foam pillows as well as down comforters. Most beds have a pillow-top mattress and are appointed with luxury, all-cotton linens. Bath towel sets, and spa towels are provided for all guests.

This efficiently designed cabin features a ground floor queen bedroom with adjoining full bathroom and queen bedroom upstairs in the loft. Enjoy this cabin with friends, family, or as a romantic getaway.

The upper level loft space opens to the living room below. There is a back door which leads to the hot tub deck. Stack-able washer/dryer and second full bathroom are also in the loft.

Depending on the season, you may experience road conditions such as heavy rain washouts, snow, sleet, roads covered in leaves, etc. We highly recommend using a 4WD vehicle to ensure safe travel to your cabin, especially during winter months or inclement weather.

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.
