Fontana Lake Lodge - Free Railroad Passes - Palatial Cabin w/ Gorgeous Views-

Fontana Lake Lodge

Breathtaking lake and mountain views abound from every direction thanks to large, light-filling windows that grace this impressive waterfront property. On the crystal clear and emerald green waters of Lake Fontana, this four-bedroom house that comfortably sleeps 16 comes with two large decks on multiple levels and a private dock with an upper deck and a boat slip. Bring your boat for the week.

With over 5,000 square feet of seamless indoor/outdoor living, this four-bedroom recently renovated and elegantly equipped lakefront lodge home with three large living spaces and a chef's gourmet kitchen is a dream location for peace, tranquility, and family fun.

Cathedral ceilings, dramatic stacked stone wood-burning fireplace, and an elegantly equipped gourmet kitchen opens to the main floor living room--with awe-inspiring views of Lake Fontana and the Smoky Mountains--create a sanctuary for the adults in your party, while a game loft featuring a pool table, poker table, and foosball table and a huge basement living area with a 70 inch smart TV create separate fun-filled spaces for the younger (or younger at heart) members of your party.

The gourmet kitchen features beautiful granite countertops, upgraded stainless steel appliances, including a professional Viking six-burner range with a griddle and double convection ovens, a warming drawer, a professional oversized refrigerator and freezer, a center island, and every top of the line cooking appliance or accessory needed to prepare your family favorites or create new delectable masterpieces together.

The main floor living space features comfortably tasteful seating, cathedral ceilings, dramatic woodwork and stonework, a wood-burning fireplace, and a smart TV. The main floor living area features a lakefront wall of floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding French doors that open to the exquisite main floor deck, which features a built-in gas grill and a charmingly distinguished wood-burning stacked stone fireplace.

The loft area is sure to keep everyone in your party entertained with a pool table, a poker table, a foosball table, and plenty of seating for spectators! The loft area also features two oversized twin sleeper chairs with upgraded mattresses.

The master bedroom is a sophisticated sanctuary with luxurious and lofty bedding atop an antique king-sized bed. Elegant sliding French doors open onto the deck and to the outstanding outdoor wood-burning fireplace...a perfect place to cozy up with a book or enjoy watching the beautiful sunrise over the Smokies and Lake Fontana. A 55 inch smart TV also equips the room. The spa-like master bathroom features dual vanities, a dressing area, and a large double-headed shower with a bench.

Two additional elegantly appointed lodge and lake-inspired guest rooms feature queen-sized beds and en-suite baths.

A bunk room featuring custom-made bunk beds sleeps six with two queen beds and two twin beds. These bunk beds are suitable not only for children in your party, but also for adult guests--they are sturdily made with solid wood, have upgraded mattresses and box springs, and are tall enough to accommodate an adult sitting up in the beds.

The basement features a large living area with a 70-inch smart TV and a large multitude of board games with a variety sure to please everyone from the youngest to oldest in your party. The sofa in the basement is a queen-sized sleeper sofa.

The basement living area features a lakeside wall of floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding French doors that open directly up to a large deck with an eight-person hot tub and a large outdoor dining table.

A laundry room and extra refrigerator for snacks and drinks are also located downstairs.

Take the meandering trail through the tall canopies of trees to the two-story private boat dock where you can bring your own boat or enjoy two complimentary kayaks and two stand-up paddleboards to explore beautiful Lake Fontana. We also provide basic fishing poles to fish off the dock. *Please note these are seasonal amenities as the lake levels fluctuate and are controlled by the TVA. The dock is inaccessible at this time and must be at a safe level for the amenities to be used. An outdoor fire pit area is in the works too for Summer. Please check with our customer service to check on availability and to ask about references for convenient pontoon boat rentals.

Picture perfect place to stay. Only negative is the 25 min drive up and down winding roads. Not great for people with car sickness. We will not stay here again for that reason but that’s the only negative.

The house is nice. Far out which we liked. The Viking range needs to be replaced or updated. The griddle didn’t work and one of the knobs was broke but I don’t think any of the knobs were on properly. Other then that it was a great time.

Gorgeous house with a great view
We had a wonderful time at this property! Fontana lake is absolutely devine! Water like glass at all hours of the day. Very few other boats at this location. Nice covered dock slip in very deep water. House is nestled in the woods with no other houses in sight. Neighborhood has a nice boat launch but be warned that you need to navigate 6 miles of hairpin turns up the mountain to get there. House was decorated beautifully and furniture was very comfortable. Kitchen had gourmet appliances but was light on the type of serving implements and cooking pans that you need for a large group. There is only seating for eight at the table. An outdoor dining table with seating for as many as the house sleeps on the upper deck off the kitchen would be a great addition to the house!

Beautiful lake view from back patio.
This cabin was cozy, comfy and had a magnificent kitchen. We made most of our meals here, so we appreciated how well equipped it was. We rented a pontoon boat for two days and were able to dock it at our cabin so we could go tubing and enjoy a sunset cruise before having to return the boat. We went tubing down the river in Cherokee one day and then stopped in town to just stroll through all the shops and grab a bite to eat. We also enjoyed kayaking and swimming from the dock and making S'mores in the fireplace on the upper patio. The views were fantastic. We loved every minute of our stay. Thank you!

Awesome Spot for Double Family Getaway
We absolutely loved staying at the luxury cabin. The view was breathtaking. The shower in the master bathroom was so relaxing. I loved the kitchen for preparing meals together. I loved that there were two game spaces (loft and downstairs). I loved the added touch of providing the ingredients to make s’mores. It is the perfect place for an adult or family escape.

Fabulous rental!!! Could not believe the attention to detail everwhere we turned. From the firestarters placed in each fireplace/firepit to the s'mores sticks in the kitchen and basket of towels for the hot tub, this property exceeded all expectations! Highly recommend! Would definitely stay there again!

Family Get Away
The property was as beautiful as the pictures show it to be. We had a couple of small issues that were addressed immediately by the management company. Some of the other reviews made note of the drive into the property. The drive is real. It takes about 20 minutes to get back to the highway so you need to think ahead when going into town. The place is very well stocked so they have tried to anticipate whet you might need. Great place.

great house - long, curvy road!
The house itself is wonderful! Just a word of caution - it is quite a long and curvy road to the house. Expect a 15-20 minute drive once you turn off the main road into the subdivision. Once there, the location is great - just don't forget anything at the grocery! The loft is rather hot and was unusable in the August heat as there is only one a/c vent for the loft. The furnishings, water toys and house are awesome!

Fontana Lake Lodge
The property was just as described. It was beautiful and spacious enough for our 9 family members. The amenities were awesome! The only issues we had: there was no ventilation in the upstairs loft, where the pool table and foos ball table were located. There needs to be an exhaust system or ceiling fan up there because all the heat rose to the loft and it was so hot up there, it was almost unbearable. It would have been nice to have a broom in the house instead of a swiffer. Lastly, the gate code changed in the middle of our trip and we weren't notified. After several failed attempts to use the gate code, which had just worked the previous evening, we contacted the property management and were told the gate code changed. Minor things in an overall wonderful stay!!

Beautiful home beautiful location!
Home is beautiful and location even more beautiful!! My husband and I took our two teenage boys and four of their friends it was the best week!! The guys had just as much fun at the house in the game room and all getting to stay down stairs together as they did on the lake each day. The home comes with a covered dock. We rented a pontoon boat from Almond Boat rentals. Their boats are spotless and some of the nicest people!! You can keep the boat overnight since it is a covered dock. They will deliver the boat to the house. Note the home is a LONG beautiful winding road from the entrance so make sure you stock up on all the groceries you will need for your trip. The home is one of the best stocked houses I’ve been too but would still bring extra paper towels and TP if you will have a full house. Beds were all so comfy which is always a pet peeve of mine. This house did not disappoint in any way!!!

great location, close to NOC, Bryson City, Asheville, and the GSMNP. Drive up to the house takes about 20 minutes from the main road and is a little narrow (for those not used to driving in mountains). Not a quick run into town kind of road but we loved that the drive was beautiful and helped us slow the pace down a little bit.
