Fontana View Retreat - Free Whitewater Rafting Passes + Luxury Family Home w/

Free Activities Included Every Day! To enhance your vacation experience, free admissions are included every day of your stay to some of the most popular attractions the area has to offer such as the Biltmore, Smoky Mountain Railroad, white water rafting, jeep excursions, and more! Daily value of $250.

This recently upgraded home is perfect for the large family on a budget. It's packed with features the family will love, like a newly renovated kitchen, a pool table, an air hockey table, and a new, sheltered outdoor fire pit overlooking the Great Smoky Mountains and Lake Fontana.

Recently renovated, the home features a redesigned fireplace, new carpet, and updated furniture in a number of rooms. However, the focus of the renovation project was the kitchen. Beautiful new cabinets, granite countertops, and all new stainless steel appliances, including a separate wine refrigerator in the newly created wet bar space, highlight the labor of love which went into this project.

The master bedroom has a king-size bed, bath with jetted tub, 42" plasma TV, and private deck with a spectacular view of the Great Smoky Mountains and Lake Fontana. Two of the other bedrooms each have one queen-size bed. The fourth bedroom has a full-size bed. There is a futon in the game room and a sleeper sofa in the living room.

The outdoor space is ample, and you can take in the magnificent view from the multiple decks, hot tub, and newly built, sheltered, outdoor fire pit. Gather the family around the fire pit, and keep your favorite beverages and "fire food" ingredients handy and safe from the elements and woodland invaders by placing them on the fire pit shelter's convenient shelf. Additionally, there is a newly installed gas fire pit on the back deck which the family can also enjoy (not currently pictured).

The location between Fontana Dam and the village of Stecoah just off NC-28 makes this a great base camp for driving tours of the Cherohala Skyway or a family tour of the Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest. You also have an easy trip to either Robbinsville essentials, or the Bryson City attractions like the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad, Deep Creek, and Nantahala Outdoor Center.

The road to the cabin is paved for the steep part then gently sloping gravel to the parking at the end of the driveway. There is plenty of parking in front of the cabin. One bay of the garage is available for guests.

*If the number of people in your party exceeds the "Sleep in Beds" number for the cabin, there will be an additional charge of $10 per night for each person over the "Sleeps in Beds" number up to the "Max sleeping" number.*

All bookings are subject to local restrictions in place at the time of the stay. We may not be allowed to accommodate all bookings that are made if local rules change after you make a booking. We make every effort to communicate current, local rules and any changes to them.

Great location for Tail of the Dragon!!
House was beautiful..location stunning! Driveway was a little crazy! We had a single motorcycle trailer that was a little challenging to get up the sharp turn driveway. Anything bigger then that would never make it up! The only downside was the house wasn't the cleanest and the propane grill was completely rusted and rotted out. We brought all food for the grill, and had to cook it all in the oven.

Nice Property
We rented this place specifically for its location in relation to Fontana Village and tail of the dragon. The property was nice, well maintained, had nice amenities as well. Only issue I would say is that we had to terminate quite a few Japanese beetles and roaches that were making their way inside the house. That’s a minor gripe in an overall excelled week long stay.

Okay, but not great
The listing online made the house out to be a gorgeous cabin. From the start, our experience was not great. The person who arrived first went to put groceries down on the stove and the burner was left on by whoever cleaned the house. She burnt her hand and we attempted to contact the owner to let them know, but they never responded to us. Once the rest of our party got there and once we started walking around, we noticed that the house did not seem to be cleaned before we got there at all. We found tons of dead bugs all over the corners of the floors and the window sills. One of our guests even noticed what looked like possible pubic hair on one of the bathroom toilets and this was prior to any of us using the bathrooms. The house was also extremely dusty and not just in high up spaces. We found instructions to use the fireplace, however, the fireplace didn’t work. The basement had a horrible mildew smell which caused us to not be able to even use it. When we did go down there the one time to attempt to play pool, the pool table was completely uneven and when you shot the ball into the hole, it would get stuck. The online advertisement states the home is professionally cleaned, but it did not represent that. The ad also stated the house slept 12 but it would have been a struggle to even get 10 in there. Understandably, there were no condiments for our use in the home, but it was never stated in the advertisement that we needed to provide basics such as salt and pepper. Overall, the home was beautiful and we had a good time, but highly suggest taking some of these complaints seriously as to not have false advertisement.

Great view, good location for hiking access
Very conveniently located and with great views. Lots of space to spread out and hang out, nice updated kitchen. Kitchen could be better stocked with simple basics (salt & pepper, etc). One of the guest bedrooms upstairs was really cold during the night. We stayed in December, so it was of course colder outside, but the heat just didn't seem to circulate well to that one bedroom. And there weren't really any extra blankets or sheets to make it warmer in the bed. But overall good spot.

Nice house, Not well cleaned
The house is spacious for a mountain cabin, beautiful view, private. Despite the late check-in time, the house was not adequately clean. There was gunk in the refrigerator and In some pots and a bit of an ant problem, also a wasp nest on the front porch. When we arrived, there was no water in the house. Maintenance came quickly and worked several hours fixing that and cleaning out the dirty hot tub. If you’re used to non-stick pans, bring your own. The cookware has been somewhat ill-used. Nevertheless, we enjoyed being there with our grandchildren. There was just a significant issue with cleanliness to be dealt with.
