Waterfront vacation rentals in Fontana Lake

We had a wonderful stay! Great location that is close to many things to do in the area. Unit was very clean, spacious, & had everything one could need. Quiet and peaceful with a nice balcony looking over the river. Thank you for sharing your space!

What a lovely stay! We really enjoyed making a fire and cooking by the river. Such an awesome location and only a mile from the Nantahala Outdoor Center. I’d highly recommend Donnie’s stay to anyone looking for a private get away in the mountains. We will definitely stay again.

I took my family to stay in the farmhouse the week of Christmas. The house was very clean and matched the description given. The heater in the pool was out but the hot tub worked. When I had an issue and reached out, it was resolved quickly. It is within walking distance of many things to do. We enjoyed the breakfast vouchers and drinks in the lobby. We also joined in the sing along and s’mores and loved it!

Great place to stay. Location was excellent and peaceful. Host communicated exceptionally well. Condo was very clean.

Wonderful place to stay, had just about about everything we needed. Hot tub was extremely nice and being by the creek was so peaceful. Back porch did not lead us directly to the creek but we were able to walk around the whole unit which led us straight there. I would book again :)

The place is very nice, from the creek to relax in front of or the hot tub to get into:) Our weekend started warm then went colder and the fireplace in the house gets the place warm. The area is quiet. We had two ducks going around feeding and getting ready to nest. An eagle flew through and tried to get the ducks, they dove a couple times and the eagle left to go fishing. The area is mostly free from the damages of Helene. Plenty of birds coming and going all day:)

Clean, easy, good location. would definitely stay here again :)

My family and I really enjoyed our stay. Initially we had a little trouble finding, but Romil was available and responsive to help. He showed us grace with an issue and we were appreciative. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Great hosts. Cabin was stocked with loads of information about the area and things to do... even a grocery discount card to use. The coffee station has brewed coffee, Keurig, hot tea - very well stocked. The kitchen was well equipped as well. The front and rear porch are very comfortable, with beautiful views. This is one of our favorite places in the mountains to visit. Close to great hiking and lake fishing. A very good value for the money.

The cabin was very peaceful and beautiful sitting on Alarka Creek. The private dock was easily accessible with pontoon. We had a week long fishing trip/vacation and it was an amazing time with my family. I will say if your driving a truck pulling a boat it is accessible but it can be very tight. I have a crew cab long bed chevy pickup pulling a 21 poontoon. I got in and turned around and backed down the private boat ramp but it was extremely tight. It takes some very strategic maneuvering to do it. So yes it can be done with a truck and trailer that long. The water was down a little so the water was too shallow to lift the pontoon off the trailer so i had to go Alarka Creek boat ramp to put the boat in the water.

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 😊

It was the perfect place for a family gathering after Christmas at one of our favorite places. Only wished we could have stayed longer. We’d stay there again.

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

We all had a great time, house was exactly as we anticipated. Would highly recommend it to all, and would consider going again. Lock box was however hard to open.

Amy & Brett's home was a wonderful place to stay. It was super clean and had a lovely scent when we walked in. The bath towels were big and fluffy- unlike some places that give you cheap scratchy towels that mostly function as squeegees. Obviously, the river view was the star. It is beautiful. The sound is just the best white noise you can ask for. The location of the house is also worth mentioning. It is close enough to be super convenient, but away enough to not feel like you are in the hubbub.

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!

Great place to stay. Centrally located to lots of great restaurants, attractions and grocery stores. Loved sitting out back listening to the birds and the creek below. Very private and peaceful. Super clean with lots of extra nice touches. Check out Anakeesta, beautiful park and incredible Mountain views.

We loved being right on the river with a view of the mountains. Also loved the gas fireplace since the mornings and evenings were cooler. Enjoyed not being in too busy of a place but it was so handy to whatever we wanted to do. It was easy to get to Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg or the park. Great place for 3 couples to stay. We thought it would be a great place for kids, too, but we didn’t bring any :)

We enjoyed our stay at Kim's place. It was very convenient to our son's wedding venue on Lake Fairfield. The area is so beautiful and Kim's place was very clean, well appointed and updated. It was easy to find and easy to access per the directions. Kim was always responsive to any questions I had and the clear communication was appreciated. We would definitely book again.

It was our second time to stay here. Quiet, not all the hustle and bustle. Easy to get to attractions when you want to.

Absolutely loved staying here! Location was perfect and Jackie was a great host. There was an issue one of the nights we stayed there and Jackie was more than gracious with the resolution. Can’t say enough good things about her as a host. Just a wonderful stay overall and someplace we hope to stay at again on a future stay!

The first thing I noticed was a clean smell as soon as I opened the condo door. The condo was awesome! Centrally located and so easy to check in and out. It had everthing you could want in a condo. Beds were super comfy and the Keurig hit the spot! Will definetly be staying with this host again!

We booked last minute and by that, a day and a half before we arrived. Darlene responded within minutes and made arrival so easy with perfect directions/information. Darlene checked in with us during our visit and with the welcome packet Darlene sent us, I had minimal if any questions. The place exceeded our expectations and was so very close to the club and all the amenities. View was beyond! The only negative was we never saw a bear. 😂 We will be back!

We had a great stay at Melissa and William's place! It was perfect for us, and cozy in the winter weather. With leaves off the trees, the views of the lake and mountain were awesome!! We were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. We would love to stay again sometime!
