Bring food,know there are house boats scattered throughout the lake in this area, the one across from this particular property was very active, especially in the evening.The dock is difficult to access in the spring & fall "winter pool".It's a beautiful place, just be prepared.

The place was nice. Was a little pricey but it was on the lake with a dock and ramp. The house was perfect for my family of 4. Golf cart came in handy with having to get down to the lake. The drive way to the dock was a little steep and narrow but overall was pleased with our stay. We really enjoyed it. Would have like to have had enough towels/wash cloths for 2 nights but it was fine. Just washed them nightly. We would stay again.

Nice Environment

The property was about what I had hoped for. It had access to the lake and close to Nantahala Outdoor Center where we went rafting and zip lining. There's a boat rental close by. The people there were very friendly and helpful. Having a dock close to the boat rental place is very convenient. We were able to do quite a few adventures and had a great time!

The lake house has a beautiful setting and several things I really enjoyed. The bed was very comfortable, access was easy, and having the golf cart and kayaks available was a great bonus.Unfortunately, there were some cleanliness and maintenance issues. The coffee maker had old coffee/water left in it that appeared to have developed mold, and I had to clean it before using it. The George Foreman grill was also dirty and appeared to have mold, so I chose not to use it. To the host’s credit, after I sent photos he contacted his cleaning company, apologized, and refunded 50 of the 185 cleaning fee.The biggest disappointment was the hot tub. Only the jets on one portion of the tub worked. I contacted the host and followed several rounds of troubleshooting instructions, including adjusting the main jet and individual valves, but could never get the remaining jets to work. I eventually gave up after spending more time than I wanted troubleshooting an amenity during my vacation. There was no operating manual at the house that I could find. The host later offered additional troubleshooting help and a video call, but by that point I had already given up for the evening as I was checking out the next morning.Neither umbrella by the dock was functional—one was bent and the other became stuck when I tried to open it.Overall, I loved the lake setting, kayaks and golf cart, but for the price I expected the property and amenities to be better inspected and maintained.

Lake cabin

The inside of the home is fine , it was pretty clean except the dishwasher was full and there were some half eaten dog treats on the floor . The exterior needs major repairs, there are 3 decks and all of the wood is pretty bad. We booked and paid for 4 nights but had to leave the morning after the firstnight

Wonderful spot on the lake

First the good. Nice cozy house on the lake. Nothing fancy but clean and functional. Really nice dock/pier on a beautiful spot on the lake. There really is no bad but some things to be aware of. Internet was spotty our entire trip if that’s important to you. There had been some storms before we got there and WiFi/internet was completely out on arrival. It seemed to get better during our stay so maybe it was storm related. The drive to the house is quite narrow necessitating backing out or performing a 160 point turn between a vertical hillside and 100ft drop. Backing wasn’t that difficult. The path to the dock is quit steep but doable and they have a golf cart you can use to completely circumvent the path. Didn’t use the cart but did drive down to unload paddle boards, easy

Some issues, still enjoyed ourselves

I always write honest reviews and try to be fair. As a business owner I myself want honest reviews. I will start with positives.Cabin felt secluded and private even with other places close by. Inside was fairly clean and tidy. Kitchen had most items we needed. Lots of things were provided I didn't expect. We appreciated the amenities such as golf cart, kayaksDock was nice and water was clear and beautiful. Host was quick to respond to questions and issues.Negatives. Deck was in fairly bad shape and there were a few loose boards on steps. House is very tiny, beds take up the entire room and its not comfortable to maneuver. Deck and deck furniture was dirty as was the grill. Deck had too much furniture and felt crowded, some furniture was very dirty and stained and even looked mildewed and just needed to be trashed. Bottom deck where hotub was was only half lit with string lights and couldnt see well. I looked and flipped every switch and couldnt find lighting. While dock and lake were nice its situated right near heavy boat traffic and its not no wake zone so we didnt feel safe venturing far from the dock. We had a good trip and enjoyed ourselves but there is room for improvement.

Disappointed

Unfortunately, there's a lot to be disappointed with, as far the cleanliness of the place and communication with the host. Many of the appliances did not work well. The oven only turned off when you put it on clean mode. The shower was clogged, so you were constantly standing in a pool of water. The control panel for the hot tub had fallen off, thus exposing loose wires to the water. Most everything was dirty. The couches were musty, old, and very dusty. Much of the outdoor furniture had mold all over it, and if it didn't, it was covered in layers of dirt. I spent twenty minutes cleaning the outdoor table, just so we could feel comfortable sitting there. The carpets in the bedrooms were very stained. The bunk beds were precariously rickety, to the point that we weren't comfortable using the top bunk. The comforters were cheap and dirty feeling. I will say that the kitchen and bathroom had been cleaned, but that appeared to be it. We almost left a day early, but the beauty of the lake makes up for a lot. When we left, we emailed the host about it all. It's now been over 24 hours, and we have not received any sort of response. Though we will happily visit the lake again, we won't be staying here. I will say that when we booked i did not click on the button for pets and when i messaged him he waived the fee for us which was kind.

Great spot on Fontana Lake! Has everything we needed, golf cart made it simple to get to the dock if you didn’t want to take the stairs and the hot tub was perfect to relax. A few summer thunderstorms in the evening were amazing on the covered decks!

This was my second stay at this property. I rated it a 6 out of 10 last stay as there were a few issues with the property conditions. This trip I would rate a 9 out of 10. All my previous issues had been remedied since last year. I had a small issue this trip which host fixed pretty promptly. Would definitely book again.

Beautiful lake retreat

We enjoyed our time at the lake house so much! The home had everything we needed for our 4th of July vacation. Fontana Lake is gorgeous! We brought our boat and the dock was perfect. The host provided a golf cart, kayaks, a fire pit, grill, and all the amenities we needed! We were very comfortable there. Thank you! We can't wait to come back!

Long weekend at the lake

Had a wonderful time, this is my second time renting and will definitely rent again! Brought my two Corgis with me and they had just as much fun, the ramp off the dock is perfect for ease of access for the dogs! Property is no frills but is perfect and what really makes the rental is the dock! There's nothing better than a few days at the lake to recharge. The addition of the firepit was great too! Thanks again for a wonderful stay!

Lake house

The dock really made the place great. No one was staying at the other camp at the time so had dock all to ourselves. The house was smaller than we thought but was fine for our family. Went hiking and fished at the lake, had fun. Caught catfish off the dock every day we were there. Kids enjoyed swimming at the lake during the day off dock and had fire at night at fire pit.
