This lovely and spacious mountain home is perfectly perched overlooking a majestic long-range view that includes Fontana Lake and Clingman's Dome (the highest peak in the Smokies). A huge main level great room and adjacent screened porch provides excellent space for large groups. Located in the popular Fontana View community close to Tsali, Fontana Lake and the NOC.

kitchen

Your kitchen is appointed with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances including dishwasher, microwave and coffee maker. We also provide you with all the dishes, utensils and cooking tools you'll need. A gas grill is provided for BBQ connoisseurs (full propane tank included, plus a spare tank).

great room

The great room features large living and dining area with table suitable for seating 8. There is ample additional seating while eating at the 3-person island bar and also on a desk/game-table that is adjacent to the living room. There is also a 4-person bistro table outside in the screened porch.

The rustic-eclectic decor features leather sofa, hardwood floors, stone fireplace (2-sided to be enjoyed by the living room and the master bedroom) and interesting vintage accessories. There is HD satellite TV and home-theater system complete with CD/DVD player (bring your own music or listen to one of the dozens of digital music channels provided by digital satellite) and Bose speakers.

The huge rec room is downstairs and features a 9-foot, slate pool table and lots of extra sleeping. There are large flat-panel TV's in both the living and rec room, and a Bose stereo system in the downstairs rec room, too. Note, there is also a 2 car garage but access for guests is limited to a small section where the washer/dryer is located.

sleeping accommodations

All our cabins feature both down and foam pillows as well as down comforters. Each bed has a pillow-top mattress and luxury, all-cotton linens. Towels are provided for the base number of occupancy plus extras for hot tub use. Linens and towels for guests utilizing the futon(s) for sleeping are provided for when occupancy is greater than the base amount of this cabin, but use of these linens when occupancy doesn't warrant it may result in additional charges as defined on our reservations page.

main floor

This floor has the master bedroom with king bed, pass-through fireplace, private bathroom (shower only, no tub), and direct access to outside deck. There is DirecTV in this room and a walk-in closet.

upstairs floor

This level has an open loft that looks over the great room and shares the magnificent view out the front windows. There is a full futon for additional sleeping in the open loft, too. Adjacent to the loft is a king bedroom with private bath (shower only, no tub) and ample closet space. There's also DirecTV service in this room.

ground floor

This lower level is a huge rec room (9' pool table plus a Foosball table) that also functions to sleep a lot of extra guests (While this is not counted as a third bedroom, the room can sleep up to 7 people in beds on this level). There is a set of built-in queen-sized bunk beds (think cruise-ship style sleeping except we have designed the lower bunk to have full sit-up headroom). The top bunk has ample room, too, but is not for those weary of heights as this level has been raised up as allowed by the very high ceilings in this room. There is also a set of log-style bunk beds that is twin-sized on the top and full-sized on the bottom. These beds are open to the pool table rec area, but this room is private and dark when the drapes are closed. There is a full bathroom on this level and access outside to the side deck with the hot tub and firepit.

**Please be advised that this cabin has bunk beds which are designed to accommodate guests of all ages. For this reason, child safety rails are available in the Watershed Cabins office free of charge.
