Guests are required to text the required photos the check out Guests wanting to use my canoe are required to let me know ASAP.
It is CRITICAL to make arrangements ASAP at booking w Oros Landing (locked gated private local boat launch-no rental equipment/no gas/no supplies) since it can take time for them to respond.

ABSOLUTELY NO ROOF ACCESS! There is a security camera on the roof:
The solar panels and connections are on the roof and prior guests have climbed on the roof, have dented the roof, and broken the solar connections leaving following guests without power.

It is ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL to either PRINT or make a SCREEN SHOT of KEY CODE & instructions BEFORE traveling to the boathouse because there is NO WIFI at boathouse & approx 5-10 miles away. Guests CANNOT access the VRBO app. to pull up the key code or info at the boathouse/immediate area and will receive NO REFUNDS if they don't have the keycode when at the boathouse because this was not done.

Guests will need to have their own boat/kayak/canoe (30-45 minute paddle) or make arrangements with me to use my canoe; to arrive at the boathouse, a remodeled 265 sq ft solar powered floating cabin which is located in a sheltered cove in the Stecoah Creek area directly on Fontana Lake which is about 150 feet deep at the boathouse (no shore, no wading area so ALL guests must be strong swimmers). The boathouse can only be accessed by water and is not at the end of a dock. Guests without boat/kayak/canoe or not wanting to use my canoe can call Fontana Marina at 828-498-2017 to arrange for $100 round trip per person. The closest boat launch from the boathouse (about 30-45 minute canoe/kayak paddle) is Oros Landing which can be booked in advance by calling the owner and paying $10/night for parking, launching, and $15/night w trailer, and keyed gated access. Guests not wanting to use Oros Landing can launch further away at Cable Cove, Fontana Marina, or Prince Boat Dock (all about 30 minutes away with a power boat). Guests that have an electric motor will need to bring their own source of charging their boat batteries. ABSOLUTELY NO CHARGING OF BOAT BATTERIES OFF THE SOLAR POWER.

Guests will need to bring their own source of charging power for cell phones, or anything that draws power, life jackets, drinking water, sleeping bags/sheets/pillow cases/towels. There is no cleaning service, no cleaning fee, and no laundry service.

The boathouse is totally off the grid which means no shore power, no cable television, no WIFI, no phone, no AC, no heat, no ability to charge/plug anything in, and probably no cell service. Guests need to check the weather for the Robbinsville area before heading out to make sure they are prepared for the weather. No cancellation refunds because of weather.

There are other boathouses in the area which can be occasionally occupied on the weekend by their owners. The closest boathouse to my boathouse is currently unoccupied.

The boathouse features a kitchen area with Italian granite tiled kitchen, and pebble tiled backsplash, under counter fridge/freezer and 2 burner cooktop, bar seating for 3, French press for coffee (absolutely NO coffee makers allowed), dinnerware and utensils, basic kitchen supplies, pots/pans, and paper towels/garbage bags. The boathouse has a water filtration system but guests will need to bring water to a boil on cooktop to ensure water is safe to drink.

The living room area features a reclining full sized futon, and 32" TV with blue ray player with approx. 50 DVD's, books and games.

The bedroom area has (2) full/double beds (1 of which is a bunk bed). Pillows are provided but guests will need to bring their own bedding/linens/towels/ect.

The bathroom features a 12 sq ft slate tiled shower, sink, and marine toilet with marine toilet paper provided.

The partially covered front deck area faces the lake and National Forest and has a table w 4 chairs, 2 lounge chairs, and propane grill with spare 20 lb propane tanks.

There is a double kayak included with the rental when at the boathouse.

This rental is a unique property for guests who understand there is no charging/plugging in of anything, can conserve the solar power by turning off lights, ceiling fan, TV/DVD player when not using, follow my instructions to the letter on the marine toilet, water pump, propane water heater and are able to provide their own linens/towels, and drinking water.

The boat house does not have a cleaning crew so guests will need to clean the boathouse thoroughly before check out and remove all garbage on departure. The boathouse is stocked with Marine toilet paper, paper towels, bio degradable soap for washing dishes/hands/shampoo, and garbage bags. There are some spices/salt/pepper and basic kitchen supplies. PLEASE DO NOT leave near/empty bottles or anything you brought with you on the boathouse at check out

Pets are not allowed on the furniture or beds and guests are requested to refrain from allowing pets in the boathouse when wet.

Lake Fontana water levels vary during the year but the boat house is always floating.

Gorgeous Views, Fun Experience

The owner is very clear and communicative. We kayaked to the house and enjoyed both the short journey and the novel experience of boating to your home. You definitely need to make sure to follow the rules of the cabin due to it being off grid and limited solar power, but if you do, it should treat you well. Very peaceful part of the lake (while we were there), beautiful foggy sunrises, and dark skies for stargazing!

Our new yearly family spot!

This was our 2nd time staying at the boathouse. We definitely felt more comfortable navigating all the instructions this time. The house was clean and ready for us when we arrived. The picnic table had been removed since our stay the previous Labor Day but there was a table and chairs, along with 2 lounge chairs that were very comfortable. We only stayed 2 nights so not being able to charge our devices wasn’t a big deal but would definitely recommend bringing a portable battery. Overall, my family and I LOVE this place and look forward to returning for years to come. Gaylene is a great communicator and sets clear guidelines for your stay, which we appreciate greatly.

Great place to stay and getaway

The property was just what we wanted. We wanted to unplug, get away from the crowds and put the phones down. It was awesome, we saw a few people, but it wasn't really a distraction, and we had the beautiful night skies to ourselves. Canoed and swam in the clear waters of the lake, and hiked in Smoky Mountains National Park. If you want to escape the daily grind, and relax this is the place. I highly recommend it. The only small nitpick that was easily overcome is that because of lack of cell service it is difficult to communicate with the owner. However, all the positives far out weigh this small complaint.

Sobre o anfitrião

Anfitrião: Gaylene de Weijer

Imagem do perfil do anfitrião
My family and I love this lake and area because of its proximity to all the things we love to do like water sports, mountain biking, white water rafting, and just relaxing on this beautiful 30 mile long wilderness lake.

Por que o anfitrião escolheu essa propriedade

We loved the idea of being totally off the grid and living on solar power. It is a little like glamping where you have all the comforts of a solid roof over your head in inclement weather but can still relax with movies and games while cooking and grilling under cover.
There is very little boat traffic in the area and the water is perfect for swimming in the summer. Locals love this area as there is great fishing in this lake especially during the cooler months.

O que faz essa propriedade ser única?

My husband and I love the super comfortable bed and the spacious slate tiled shower. My favorite thing to do at night is relax with my favorite beverage, watch the moon rise over the mountains, and then watch a movie powered by the sun!
