Fontana Lake Cabin w/ Private Dock , Fishing Pond, Huge Covered Porch & 50+ Acre

I would stay again. My grandfather in-law passed away so I took my wife along with her grandmother and mother away to this cabin for a getaway. We originally wanted to stay in Gatlingburg to spread the ashes, however there were no cabins anywhere in TN in the short time and proximity to Christmas we had. This cabin is only an hour and fifteen to Gatlinburg. So this was basically the only option we had and i'm glad it worked out that way. The cabin is pretty secluded so it was incredibly peaceful with many wilderness options. Plus all the reviews i read were awesome, the only problem i had is the reviews i was reading were from guests who stayed in summer months. I decided to stay anyway. Chelsea is the contact person for this property and i must say i had many questions along the way and she always answered them within the hour i had the question. Most other rental managers take at least 24 hours to get a response. Anyway we had an awesome time, even though we didn't get to try the zip line that runs from the deck to the lake, due to frozen water. Next time we will stay during the summer! Again thank you Chelsea! we had a great time.

Had a great time. Really enjoyed fishing in the pond. The fish loved to tease. The very best part was the quiet.

I am so glad I stumbled upon this listing! This place was everything I wanted it to be and more.

We stayed over the 4th of July holiday week. You'd expect any lake as beautiful as this - especially being near a national park - to be packed with tourists. NOPE. It felt like our own private paradise. We saw a total of maybe 20 boats the entire week, which is great when you're a paddleboarder. The water is crystal clear, warm but refreshing, and there is so much of it to explore. There's a dock if you have a boat, but you should be prepared to put it in at another part of the lake. We brought our small fishing boat, 6 paddleboards and a kayak. We carried the paddleboards and kayak down to the dock (its down a steep hill at the end of the driveway), but put the boat in at Cable Cove and drove it over to the property. The six of us didn't mind that hill at all. When you're going up and down multiple times a day you leave at the end of the week with great legs! Its a short walk from the cabin to the dock, which is also a great place to throw some chairs and relax. Its on a cove within a cove and feels like your own private oasis.

The cabin was perfect. Its beautiful inside - but you'll want to spend most of your time outside under that covered porch! This place is made for outdoor living. The stone fireplace with the seating area and the dining table was the perfect place to relax and unwind and eat a big meal after a long day on the water. Speaking of meals, do yourself a favor and plan them -the closest grocery store is about a 30 minute drive. Even though our group consisted of six adults we had a little fun at the fishing pond too! It's a great pond for kids to fish. They'll definitely catch something! We opted not to use the zipline, but it sure looked fun.

I cannot say enough about how perfect this place it. If you're looking for a romantic getaway, an adults only vacation, a family vacation...this place is for you!

We will be back! Thanks for everything!

I have been vacationing in the Bryson City or Robbinsville area for the past 15 years. I can truly say this property has something for everyone. Plenty of room for everyone to sleep. Our adult children fought over the "Chicken Coop" cabin. Just a word of advice. Plan your meals and snacks. The nearest grocery store is 15 miles away. The outdoor covered deck with outdoor shower and FIREPLACE was our favorite hang out. The layout of the property with the large fishing pond could not of been better. The Zip Line is perfect for all ages. Gene, the property caretaker, was a total joy to deal with. Just a short walk from the house is access to Fontana Lake with a dock for your boat, fishing, or swimming. Fontana Lake is amazing. A canoe and kayak is provided for your use. If you go with a large group but like to get away this is the place for you. Plenty or hiking and bike trails are all around the property. I cant say enough about how perfect the property is for family or friends who truly want to take a vacation.

Such a beautiful property! Our family of 5 had a wonderful time swimming, fishing, hiking and roasting marshmallows!! House is clean and well stocked with everything we needed! Looking forward to going back soon!!
