Check-in is a breeze with a digital keypad on the front door. You’ll receive a personalized access code before your arrival — no keys, no stress!

The home is nestled in a beautiful, wooded mountain area — which means you may encounter some local wildlife or insects during your stay. We recommend bringing bug spray if you plan to enjoy the outdoor spaces.

The cabin was wonderful! The rooms were very spacious- there was plenty of room for a pack-n-play if needed in any of the rooms. The bathrooms were clean, large and well stocked! The game room was a hit with my 3 and 7 year old- fun toys/games and a foosball table. The hot tub was very nice and we loved the fire pit at night. There was plenty of wood to use- which was great since we forgot! Everything was perfect- we can’t wait to come back!

Our week stay at Fontana Peak was wonderful! It is secluded, yet close to town, grocery store, etc. All the amenities, clean, cozy and the views are just WOW!! The whole family had a great time and agreed it is a place we could easily stay again and again. There was a problem with the fireplaces and we were not able to use those, but this may not be an issue for everyone. Very close to the Great Smokey Mountain National Park. You could not ask for more. Communication with host was excellent.

Beautiful view, peaceful and quiet but close enough to town!

We spent the week at Fontana Peak. We came to hike and thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub in the evenings to relax our sore muscles. The house was well appointed, plenty of towels, kitchen supplies and games/tvs. The best part was the view from any of the porches. The host was very responsive to inquiries.

Mountain getaway

We decided to take a break after the holidays to relax/recharge for the the New Year ahead. This was just the place. The cabin was private and cozy. We enjoyed the fireplace, hot tub, and outdoor fire pit (no mountain trip is complete without s’mores). It was cold outside but that didn’t keep us from the hot tub to warm up and enjoy the great view. We took our dog along and really enjoyed having her with us on vacation. The kids had a great time enjoying the property and playing in the game room. Overall great stay, we look forward to coming back!

Summer fun w grandkids

My husband and I booked this home just outside Bryson City to take our daughter and grandchildren white water rafting. The location was close to town, Nantahala Outdoor center, and hiking trails w beautiful water falls. This is important to us as with younger kids we don’t want to spend a lot of time in a car to get to the various excursions. The views from the back balconies were beautiful. Check in and communication w any questions was great and seamless. The home was clean and the beds comfortable for a good nights sleep and each bedroom had its own bathroom. We had a wonderful time.
