Home Truths:
- Sleeps in beds: 4 - Max Occupancy: 6
​​​​​​​- Inflatable kayaks are provided as well as a limited selection of life jackets and floats
- Security camera outside front door and at dock
- We do want to let you know that there is lake access year round. However, Lake Fontana is dropped significantly beginning the end of Sept through April. The lowering will take time and water will continue to be under the dock for a period of time, but all based on weather. When the dock is on dry land you can walk down to the water or head over to Princes' Boat dock, just around the corner for lake/boating options in the winter! There is plenty of water in the lake overall and great for fishing in the winter!
- There is an air mattress with linens in the loft
- Yonder provides linens for all beds; other occupancy will require guests providing their own linens
- Internet Speed: Download - 25Mbps Upload - 5Mbps

Wonderful House Horrible Stairs
This was without a doubt the nicest home we have ever stayed in as a rental. The decor and the quality of furnishings were top notch. The view of the lake was stunning. I would however caution anyone who has mobility problems to look elsewhere. There are 43 steep stairs from the parking area to the house, and another 17 to the lower level, then another 32 from the lower level to the highest level of the lake when it is full. The last section has no guard rail. The lake is lowered 60 ft in the fall, this year 120 ft to facilitate needed repairs to the dam, and getting to the water to fish is tough, with loose rock and a steep drop to the water from the end of the stairs, but we did it. My wife and I are in our early 70's so the stairs were a challenge for us. Our daughter and her husband, in their 40's, had no problem. Other than that everything was perfect.

AMAZING!!
The house was beautiful and the lake was amazing. Dealing with the rental agency was easy and took care of any issues that did arise. The house was clean and had everything you would need for a week long stay. The location is super quiet and relaxing while not far from things to do. We brought our kayaks with us and took advantage of being right on the lake. We would definitely rent this property again.
