Location:
Above the Lake Log Cabin is located on Fontana Lake, in a large, private "Upscale" Subdivision about a 20-minute trip to the back from the gated entrance.

Scenic Getaway
We absolutely loved our stay at the property. It's quite and nice and perfect for our family of 4. The views are gorgeous and place is really put together well. Our only complaint would be that due to the amount of bugs outside, you can't really use the outside space without putting on bug spray. It would be nice to have the portion with the hot tub screened in so it could be more useful. It's a minor complaint overall and I would recommend the place if you're looking in the area.

Great cabin
Everything was great except the beds were too stiff. We all had a hard time sleeping. We had 5 cars with plenty of room for parking, game room and hot tub were perfect. Everyone was excited to get back to the cabin for the nights, will likely book again.

Lake and woods vacation
The overall experience was wonderful! It fit all of our requirements. We got to be in nature and see wildlife. The view was incredible! With a few repairs, this property could be 95% satisfaction. We all had a wonderful time from grandparents to grandsons!
