About this property

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.

Bryson City (the gateway to the Smoky Mountain National Park), Deep Creek tubing, waterfall-viewing, hiking and biking trails including Tsali Recreation Center, some of the best trout stream fishing in the region, white water river rafting and kayaking on the Nantahala, and at the Nantahala Outdoor Center (NOC), and zip-lining are all close to this home.

Create lifelong memories in this incredible lodge home on Lake Fontana which is sure to please even the most discerning guests in your party. Enjoy incredible fishing, boating, kayaking, trail-hiking & exploring, stargazing, s'mores-making, and quality family and friends' time at this especially pleasing and comfortable home.

Amazing property
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.

Family Thanksgiving
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!
