Extremely private, this vacation home is nestled on 50+ acres of property that backs up to thousands of acres in the Nantahala Forest. Right on a pond with a private dock to Fontana Lake. A 5 minute walk down the driveway next to our private and pond and then across a dirt road leads to our private cove and dock on this lovely jewel of the Smokies. Jump off your own private dock into 25' of the purest, cleanest water imaginable. 85 degrees all summer long. Many guests bring their own kayaks, canoes, and fishing boats. Fish, swim or just relax next to the water. Bring the toys to splash in the lake. You won't want to leave the dock during the summer season. \*Please note that the lake levels are dam controlled and vary throughout the year. Typically we have a full lake from Memorial Day to Labor Day with accessibility year round from Fontana Marina - 10 minutes from the house. If you are visiting in the Fall or EARLY Spring, the cove will be lowered. We adjust our seasonal prices to accommodate for this. That said, you can still absolutely access the lake and enjoy it from several public access points. The Main cabin has three bedrooms, a master bedroom with a King bed, a downstairs bedroom with a king bed and an upstairs bedroom with two bunk beds. Each bunk bed has a queen bed on the bottom and a twin bed on the top. The main cabin has a primary bathroom with shower, laundry room, vanity, and toilet. There is a second bathroom off the main floor king bedroom with a shower, vanity, and toilet. There is also a separate, tiny cabin with a deck that has a queen bed. It is a short walk from the Tiny cabin to the 800 square foot covered porch nestled on the side of a hill. There is also a bathroom with a shower and toilet on the outdoor deck. The cabin is designed to encourages outdoor living and we spend 90% of our time on the porch, with three ceiling fans, when not playing in the lake or on the property. The porch (outside living room) has a massive stone fireplace, surrounded by comfy seating. You will love roasting marshmallows by the fire every night or sipping coffee in the morning. The porch also features a bathroom and an instant hot water shower. So the tiny cabin inhabitants don't need to go into the main house when showering or using the facilities. The shower has a little window overlooking the stream that runs next to the porch in the side yard. Our girls love to pan for gold in the stream for hours. A charcoal grill is provided but guests should add charcoal to the grocery list to be sure they are fully equipped when arriving to the property (charcoal is not provided). Walking up the property, there are several trails that lead to the top of the ridge where the old forest road runs for miles. If you're up for a leisurely 3 mile hike (once at the top) you can travel it to the end and you will be in the cove where they shot the Jody Foster movie, "Nell". If you love to fly fish, it does not get better than this! Native Browns a short boat ride away. This is a great place for outdoor adventurers. Some of the best mountain biking in the world is a 15 minute drive away at Tsali, where there are miles of trails that sweep along remote coves of Fontana lake. The Nantahala Outdoor Recreation center is only 15-20 minutes away where you can go for lunch, a beer, or take a guided white water rafting, ziplining, hiking, or kayaking trip. Wintertime enthusiasts: While the lake is too low to use from our cove, you can still absolutely access it from Fontana Marina. Additionally, Beech Mountain is only 45 minutes away, for fun NC skiing day or night. We are also only 25 minutes from beautiful Bryson city, often voted the prettiest mountain town in America. There is so much to do in town, from browsing quaint little antique shops to riding the valleys and river on the old Bryson train. Bikers are welcome, and our road is accessible to motorcyclists. We also have a covered garage area to accommodate your ride! The Tail of Dragon starts right outside our road, the best motorcycling on the East Coast and you're a short ride to the Cherohala Skyway, Moonshiner 28, Blueridge Parkway, and more. Please note that we will NOT rent to large groups who are just here to party. If you're looking for a city experience, this is not it. If you're looking for breathtaking views, adventure, hiking, fishing, biking, exploring, and time with family and friends, look no further. \*Please note that the lake levels are dam controlled and vary throughout the year. Typically we have a full lake from Memorial Day to Labor Day with accessibility year round from Fontana Marina - 10 minutes from the house. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Ski - Close to skiing - Snowboarding nearby ### Internet - Available in the cabin: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Electric car charging station on site - Car required - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Outdoor shower - Shower - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Charcoal grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - Up to 23 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property - Note from host: Smoking strictly not allowed inside premise. ### Services and conveniences - Phone ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - In the mountains - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near the marina - On a lake - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Rafting nearby - Sailing nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Electric car charging station - Garden - Unit size: 2,300 square feet ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100180000/100173600/100173576/9f364a35.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Gilmer Lodge -- secluded original log cabin, minutes from town!
