Lake house vacation rentals in Fontana Lake

This property was perfect for a winter getaway. The home is lovely, the neighborhood is charming and the surroundings are nature at its best. We like to prepare our own meals and the well equipped kitchen met all our expectations. The fireplace provided such a nice comfy feeling. Although it was not the right time of the year to indulge in spending time on the spacious porch, being so close to the river added to the peaceful mood created by the home's interior environment. We enjoyed the opportunity to take long walks in the surrounding area. And it was a plus to have any needed services close by. This would most certainly be a place we would consider revisiting.

Beautiful cottage on lake. Very peaceful and close to town. The home was clean with all amenities you would need. We so enjoyed sitting on the dock taking in the lovely surroundings. We look forward to booking in the future!

The location is beautiful and peaceful. Located just off of a highway and you do hear some noise mainly when motorcycles going by, but other than that you don't think about it. We rented a boat so having the dock was the best feature, but includes a lily pad, kayaks, fire pit... Definitely would rebook.

The place is exactly as described. Very close to WCU and worked out great during move in day. Relaxing place to stay.

Great location and very peaceful. Extremely clean and well stocked. We stayed in the winter, so the lake was low, but we knew that going in. Parking and stairs down to the door can be a little trickey, especially at night. As others have said, dont bring a boat to the property but take it to a marina. There is limited ability to turn around. Would certainly stay again.

Loved our stay here! Well furnished and perfect for our party with littles/families. Decor was great. Bathroom and kitchen were spotless. No crumbs or anything anywhere. Close to Pigeon Forget and Gatlinburg. Nice outdoor sitting area

This vacation involved checking out the area for an upcoming wedding. For the house, we wanted lots of space in the house and easy parking, bathrooms for each family group, family space to hang out, easy walking, and of course access to the lake. All of these happened plus great porch space with the firepit and also the outdoor firepit. The stairs to the lake provided a work out and planning for the day. That is the only consideration for others to be aware of, is if they have a family member that has issues with stairs. The area is beautiful and exactly what we hoped for and this home with the easy contact for any issues or questions made it a great week!

Beautiful location, comfy and spacious home. Would certainly recommend for a family vacation to the area. Great amenities and host!

Awesome private cabin with a great location!

Amanda’s place truly exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with a nice bottle of wine by the host. The property itself was immaculate and tastefully decorated, blending modern amenities with charming, rustic touches. The living area was spacious and inviting, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The kitchen was well-equipped, making it easy to prepare meals. Another highlight was the outdoor space, which featured a cozy patio with comfortable seating perfect for stargazing in the evenings, or looking at the creek not too are away. The location was also a huge plus; it was conveniently situated near WCU, yet peaceful enough to enjoy a quiet retreat. Overall, this Airbnb provided an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend it!

The view of the lake from the large back porch was awesome. A peaceful place to relax and explore the lake on the canoes provided. There was a green egg on site for cooking dinner. I’d highly recommend this location!

Becky’s place is beautiful and impeccably clean! She was extremely responsive as well. My husband and our fur children had a wonderful time. The view alone is worth a million bucks! Will definitely be back here in the future 😊

The house was perfect for us. We were very comfortable there. We loved the fireplace and had a fire most nights. The enclosed porch was nice for our small dog that loved sitting out there looking for squirrels!

We loved staying here! The house has everything one would need for a relaxing stay. My kids loved fishing from the dock, the legos, and puzzles- so much to do that screens were not even missed!

I enjoyed this place 100%. Clean space, some privacy, extremely peaceful. Matt was super proactive in letting us know of the current events that could affect our stay, such as open fire bans. so therefore we could not use the fire pit. However, We enjoyed the scenery, the hot tub, the grill and other outside adventures. I would highly recommend staying here & I would definitely book with Matt again during a different season!

The place was very nice and was even decorated for Christmas, which was a nice surprise! There were beautiful views on the mountains and sunrises. The kitchen was well stocked and surpassed expectations. I was in town to attend the Bronco Off Roadeo in Maryville and Claire’s place was a convenient 15 minute drive to that.

We've stayed around the Smokey's for years and this house provided some of the best views we've ever had. A beautiful, clean home that feels very inviting. We definitely recommend and would stay again. Host made us feel right at home and was available within minutes. It was evident she wanted us to enjoy our trip, which we did!

A million dollar view, blessedly quiet nights, comfortable accommodations, and a kitchen with all of the equipment needed for an extended stay. The home is located in the "Top of the World" residential area below Maryville and looks out over the north-eastern edge of the SMNP. We enjoyed the low-key, non-touristy atmosphere of the surrounding area. This rental unit has a covered patio with an expansive 180-degree view and is situated beneath the owner's residence on the two floors above. Parking is nearby and up a short slope from the door. John is a very responsive host and provided helpful instructions preceding and during the visit, as well as a binder with detailed information about nearby hiking trails, scenic drives, restaurants and resources. No need to plan ahead! If you are a touring enthusiast, Highway 129's Tail of the Dragon is nearby with 11 miles of "hairpin" turns, definitely a highlight. Eagle's Nest is highly recommended!

Our Thanksgiving week at Jenna Sejo's home could not have been better. This was our 2nd stay in this home. The hosts were extremely responsive with any questions we had and very accommodating with any requests. This is a beautiful home and one can tell the love that has been put into making it special. The kitchen has everything you could ever need in preparing meals. (one exception, we could not find a potato peeler but I bet there is one there somewhere.) The bedrooms are beautifully appointed and the beds are beyond comfortable. It really is hard to describe how livable this home is and I say home as opposed to house because it truly feels like a home. We will definitely be returning to once again spend time here next summer. Thanks so much for making our Thanksgiving memorable. Mary Helen Simpson

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The house was great, the location was great, David was great. We would stay again!

We absolutely enjoyed our week and here. The beds were very comfortable, kitchen had everything you needed, loved watching the sunrise on the back porch, and even had fun with some snow flurries while we were there. highly recommend this place. Also, some great places to visit if you are in the highlands: Whiteside mountain, Glen falls, Picklesimer falls (google will take you close but not all the way), and secret falls (Google is accurate for this one but you will think it has lost its mind). A local told us about Picklesimer and we loved our short hike to this waterfall.

Loved our stay at the hilltop chateau. It’s absolutely beautiful, and the screened in porch is ideal for taking in the view. The house was perfect for us— four adults, a toddler, and a baby. Toddler loved roaming the grounds and petting the alpacas! Hosts were fantastic. Lauren and Joy were very responsive and accommodating. Everyone on site was so friendly. We grilled out every night including fresh vegetables that Jared gave us from the garden. Can’t wait to come back!

We had a really lovely family weekend in Townsend in “The Quiet Side of the Smokies.” Would highly recommend & definitely return. Really loved the cabin!

Great place for a secluded, peaceful getaway. Had a lovely time relaxing and celebrating valentines weekend with my partner<3
