Fontana View 3 - Three Story Rustic Cabin Sleeps up to 16 People

This three story, beautiful, ridge-top lodge is our highest sleeping capacity cabin accommodating up to 18 people. Its locale is walking distance to other 1, or 2 bedroom cabins so even larger groups can be accommodated. This cabin is among the finest rental units you will ever find when you combine the custom nature of the construction, the detailed level of appointment, and the ridgetop view locale of the cabin, which borders US Forest Service land and is directly accessible to a trail leading down to the Tsali mountain biking area.

The wrap around deck features a propane grill, outdoor dining seating for 12, may Adirondack chairs to enjoy the sunrise and sunset from the deck, a triple hammock hanger, outdoor fireplace, and hot tub. The ground floor patio features more Adirondack seating and a corn hole set.

Entering through the main (center) floor you will find a large great room, main/living room, queen bedroom, and full bathroom. The main floor houses the great room that features a large wall of windows to enjoy the amazing view. Within the great room, a towering stone gas fireplace is surrounded by a sectional sofa, 55" TV, with a game table for 4 that provides additional dining space for larger groups. The main dining table is part of the full stainless steel kitchen and features 4 chairs plus bench seating to allow flexibility for diners. There are 2 dishwashers provided, perfect for large groups.

There is a queen bedroom, with TV, on the main floor that has access to the the shared bathroom.

On the upper (third) floor, you'll find a King master with TV, access to a private balcony, and a private full bathroom. The other side of the upper level is an enclosed bunk room featuring a twin bunk and queen bunk. This room also has access to a private balcony. A separate full bathroom is also housed on the upper floor.

The ground (bottom) floor features an open rec area with a shared bathroom, pool table, 55" smart TV, and a washer & dryer. The ground floor is also home to two bedrooms; the left bedroom features a queen bed with a set of twin bunk beds & TV, while the right bedroom houses two queen beds & TV.

**Please be advised that this cabin has bunk beds designed to accommodate guests of all ages. For this reason, the bunk beds do not include the typical safety rails which are included on children's bunk beds. However, there are safety rails stored in the ground floor queen/twin bunk bedroom**

Attention: Active Wildlife in the Area
Our area of WNC is currently experiencing increased wildlife activity, particularly from bears. While it’s a privilege to share our environment with these magnificent creatures, it’s essential that we all take precautions to ensure our safety and theirs.
Please follow these guidelines:
Secure all food and garbage: Bears are attracted to strong smells. Do not leave food in your car and reattach bungee cords to trash can lids every time.
Be aware of your surroundings: Stay alert, especially during dawn and dusk when wildlife is most active.
Avoid close encounters: If you see a bear or other wildlife, maintain a safe distance and do not approach.
Travel in groups: When possible, hike or explore with others, and make noise to alert animals of your presence. Keep dogs leashed at all times.
Your cooperation is crucial in maintaining a safe and harmonious environment for everyone. Thank you for your attention and care.

The cabin is beautiful and spacious! The views are incredible! The cabin could've been cleaned a little more thoroughly but I am picky when it comes to cleanliness! The bed linens and toilets were clean. The home was well equipped with what our family needed. The oven did not work when we arrived. The rental company was easy to get in touch with and brought and installed a new stove the same day. We would stay here again!

Love the cabin, could use some updates. My cell signal gave me faster internet than the wifi. Brought our dog with us, he loved it too. Right at the entrance to Horse Branch trail so it's perfect for mountain bikers. Added a photo of our last sunrise there.

Overall Great Experience

The house is spacious. The bunk rooms in particular really work for larger groups. Also, we really enjoyed the additional porches on the 3rd floor. The kitchen has a lot of dishes and spices which was great for preparing meals. The views are amazing and the amenities were up to par for other cabins in the area. The only drawback was the fact that there was a mouse in the house which would appear occasionally and unsettled a few guests and yellow jackets kept getting in the house somewhere.

Great cabin and location

We've taken an annual work excursion to Lake Fontana for the last 3 years and this is our favorite cabin, yet! The location is easy to find and close to a marina. The layout of the cabin is nice as well. Really liked that the hot tub had its own deck and there was an outdoor fireplace (we didn't see these pictured) so it was a nice surprise. Property Manager was easy to contact. Would definitely stay there again!

We spent the majority of the time in the hot tub and on the back porch overlooking the mountains. This place is gorgeous and had ever amenity you could need. The host was extremely helpful as well!

The view off the balcony gets zero justice in pictures, the view is absolutely breathtaking especially in the morning. Even if the weather stops you from getting out, there are plenty of was to enjoy your time and relax. The hot tub is well taken care of, there are quite a few games to play, as well as WiFi. They kept plenty of towels on the property and even had some wood to get us started when we first arrived. Overall a very relaxing property to stay on.

Made our river trip better!

The place was exactly as described. We were able to get there and in with no trouble other than a curvy, narrow trek for the last mile or so. Everything thing we used worked with no problems. The property on on a gorgeous spot just wish they would cut the trees back to open the view. The place felt like a nice retreat for our 16 person group after a long day on the river.

Beautiful Cabin, Beautiful View

Really enjoyed our stay! The cabin is wonderful and well appointed. It is stocked well with the necessities for cooking. The rooms are cozy and this cabin is great for a large group. My only complaint is that they didn’t leave enough of some of the essentials like toilet paper, garbage bags, dish detergent etc… when you have 14 people these things should be well stocked considering the type of usage you are seeing. However, that was a small issue considering everything else. We recommend staying here especially for larger groups.
