Find cottage rentals near Fontana Lake

Charming home in the most gorgeous rolling hilled, pastural area just outside of Franklin. The view from the living room and porch was lovely. We watched the sun burn off the clouds every morning and turn the mountains from purple to gold. We walked the dog around the area, admiring the other pretty houses and even met a neighbor. The home was clean , comfortable and well appointed. I have stayed in several VRBO rentals in western NC and I liked this one best for the views and convenience to activities, stores and neighboring communities. Doreen, the property manager, was instantly responsive when we ( 2 old ladies) locked ourselves out of the house and with any questions we had. I would stay again in heartbeat!

I was attending Miatas at the gap , I liked the location. The driveway was a bit steep , but my Miata had no problem , it didn't scrape at all . It was great ending the day with a soak in the hot tub. I wouldn't mind staying here again .

We enjoyed the private dock and ability to tie off our boat. The owners are very responsive and helpful.

an amazing place of peace to relax and enjoy! Clean and well thiought out! GO !!!!

The precious yellow cottage & WHITE PICKET FENCE that I've dreamed of ...at the top of a mtn ❤️ I have n e v e r been a person to sit in the dark & wait in front of a picture window for the sun to rise.... until this escape! I actually RELAXED on this trip & my little 9 pound toy poodle LOVED the fact that Mama was 'chilled'. Then, I actually caught HER sitting there staring out the window like she was waiting for the sunrise the next couple days. The cottage was perfect on every way & the view was the icing on top!! The location was far enough away from town that you didn't just run out on a whim. But when you went out, the trip was an experience in itself being on the Moonshiner28. Cell phone signal was non-existent as explained ... but the WI-FI wkd perfectly & when I connected my cell phone to the wifi & did wifi calling... no problems... I had my cell phone at the cottage along w perfect internet!! I can't think of a thing that needed to be changed except I wish I'd booked more than 5 nights ;) Definitely hoping for a return trip!!

This was everything we had hoped for. Highly recommend.

We just returned home after spending 6 wonderful days at Tony's home. It feels like a home and not a vacation rental. The kitchen is well-stocked, the beds are comfortable, plenty of places for everyone to hang out and still have some space to themselves. We loved that there were kayaks and a paddleboard, along with lake toys and beach towels. They have really thought of everything to make your stay amazing. I'm going to miss the view from the upstairs deck in the morning. There's lots to do in the area in terms of hikes or daytrips. Tony was very responsive and a great host. Do yourself a favor and book a stay. You won't regret it.

Extremely well appointed and cozy lake home with a fantastic deck! Thanks Marc!
