Fontana Cabin is located in Graham County, North Carolina, at the very end of a winding gravel road that takes you through a tunnel of trees before revealing a distinctive house perched on top of a bluff above Fontana Lake. The approach into the Cabin is through the main deck, where you will have a hard time resisting the pull of the breathtaking view of crystal-clear Lake Fontana and the layered Smoky Mountains behind it. On all sides of the Cabin, you are surrounded by either our 4.5-acre property or Public Lands, so all you see looking outside of the Cabin is Southern Appalachian deciduous forest. The view from the deck, where you will want to take your coffee as well as all your meals and your naps, changes hourly, daily, and seasonally, calling you to leave your cares behind as you tune into the rhythm of Nature. Inside, you will find 5 separate bedrooms and 4 bathrooms that will provide your group the space, comfort, and flexibility it needs to make the place your temporary home. The house was built in 1968 and has been updated over the years to balance the best of its vintage and contemporary features, including most recently with a full-scale update of the Cabin decor, linens, kitchenware, and other amenities in September, 2021, a few months after we bought the place in July 2021, and ongoing updates since then, including upgrading our satellite internet in March 2024, putting on a new roof in July 2024 and a new driveway in 2025\. The kitchen is fully equipped with a farmhouse table that seats six, with a second table for 6 outside on the covered porch if you want to eat outside or if you have a large group. Like the table, almost all of the wood furnishings in the house are unique--handmade from re-purposed and re-finished salvaged wood from old buildings in the region. Given our remote location, we have satellite Internet instead of wired broadband, but we have enough WiFi capability throughout the house for ordinary computing and streaming--as well as zooms if you need to stay connected to work while you are here. Our cell phone booster in the house makes cell service strong even though it is weak on the road up to the Cabin. Our LAKE VIEW is awesome, but there is NO DIRECT ACCESS TO THE LAKE from our property. Fontana Lake is a 29 mile-long crystal clear lake that has more than 240 miles of almost totally undeveloped shoreline. More than 90 percent of the land around the lake is owned by the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Nantahala National Forest, or the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), so development has been kept to a minimum (including near our place, where the Forest Service and TVA own the bottom half of the 200-foot steep mountainside between the Cabin and the lake). The good news is that the lake is surrounded by forest and provides an inspiring backdrop to every part of your stay at the Cabin, but the less good news is that you have to leave the property to get to the lake itself. If you do want to access the lake to fish, boat, kayak, or canoe, there are a number of boat launches and marinas on the south side of the lake where we are located, including the public boat launch at the Cable Cove National Forest Recreation Area 15 minutes from the Cabin, and the full-service marina at the Fontana Village Marina, right at the Fontana Dam, 25 minutes from the Cabin. Please also know that if you are hauling a trailer or driving an RV, we have plenty of parking at the Cabin and just restructured and resurfaced the driveway in 2025, but the road and driveway into the place are winding and steep in spots. It's fine for cars, but not suitable for long trailers or long vehicles over 20 feet, so if that sounds like you, it's best to inquire with us before booking. Whether you are seeking hiking, biking, boating, fishing, scenic driving, nature photography, motorcycling, whitewater rafting, or vacationing, you will find a full array of natural destinations, quaint shops and the rich history of North Carolina's most remote county within minutes of the Cabin. Smoky Mountain National Park - 45 minutes to Park Entrance from Cabin You can see the Southern edge of the park just across the Lake from the Cabin, and can access it via the water if you are boating, but the driving entrance is just North of Bryson City and Cherokee. The Dragon - 35 minutes from Cabin to Deal's Gap Starting at Deal's Gap at the Tennessee/North Carolina state line and featuring 318 curves in just 11 miles, the Dragon is considered by many to be one of the world's best motorcycling and sports car roads. Anyone looking for an exciting highway adventure--whether you are a rider or a driver--will enjoy this famous stretch of US 129\. Even better, the road to there from our place is another great drive, called Moonshiner 28\. Combine it with Foothills Parkway in TN and the Smoky NP Park road, and locals call that loop Hillbilly Heaven. Blue Ridge Parkway - 45 minutes to the Southern Terminus from Cabin Experience this world famous Parkway, including the Parkway's highest point, which is 1.5 hours away from the Cabin, just south of Waynesville. Cherohala Skyway - 45 minutes to Eastern Terminus from Cabin This is a less traveled mountaintop scenic highway with views and curves that rival the North Carolina portion of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Whitewater Adventures - 30 minutes from Cabin The western North Carolina mountains offer some of the best whitewater rafting/paddling rivers on the East Coast. Nantahala River's Class I, II, and III rapids and renowned providers such as the Nantahala Outdoor Center provide the perfect place for the entire family to have a taste of this exciting sport. If you are hardcore, the Cheoah River has Class IV and V rapids during scheduled release dates. If tube-floating is more your style, there are multiple outfitters in nearby Bryson City. Appalachian Trail - access 25 minutes from the Cabin The renowned Trail that bisects the entire East Coast goes through our area, actually crossing over Fontana Dam itself before heading into the Smoky Mountains National Park to the north and into Nantahala National Forest to the south. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 5 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 4 bathrooms - Bathtub - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - 4 steps to reach entrance - Area rugs in public areas - Handrails in stairways - Hardwood flooring in public areas - Thin carpet in public areas - Tile flooring in public areas - Upper floors accessible by stairs only - Well-lit path to entrance - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains - Near a hospital - Near the marina - On a lake ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Rafting nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Garden - Unit size: 3,500 square feet ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/106000000/105650000/105648600/105648573/b050bdb1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Embrace nature's beauty in the Great Smoky Mountains with patio Almond - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Pet-friendly 7.4 Good 14 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-26&endDate=2026-02-27&selected=105648573&PinnedHotelID=105648573&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/84000000/83930000/83925500/83925429/bfccb17b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lake View of Fontana Lake close to Great Smoky Mountains and Tail of the Dragon Almond - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer 9.8 Exceptional 28 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-26&endDate=2026-02-27&selected=83925429&PinnedHotelID=83925429&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV, fireplace, table football, stereo](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/77000000/76940000/76935800/76935748/905f9cab.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Spacious home…Hot Tub…game room…Pet Friendly..WIFI Almond - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer 10 Exceptional 64 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-26&endDate=2026-02-27&selected=76935748&PinnedHotelID=76935748&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fireplace](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/113000000/112760000/112755900/112755854/52e6a516.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Vista views of the Smoky Mountains and close to Bryson City!

Communication with the owner is seamless and pleasant. Every visit, the cabin is always very clean and organized. Secluded, quiet, comfortable, relaxing, an overall amazing 'escape' from the every day. We tend to spend most time on the covered deck breathing in the mountain air, listening to the birds and allowing the stress to melt away as we gaze at the water and mountains. And because the cabin is pet friendly, we can enjoy these moments with our fur kids. ##### Kype H.

Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sharon J. 9 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This is our fifth year celebrating a birthday with a week at Fontana Cabin. That probably says it all. If you enjoy nature and solitude, this is the perfect place for you. Robert responds immediately to any questions you may have, though we rarely have them after staying here so often. One thing to note is that the cabin is considered remote by many folks who did not grow up in the country, so don't plan on running out for something you might have forgotten. It isn't 10 minutes but more like 25 minutes each way to the grocery store. We love that, but realize that it would be a shock for some.We can't say enough good things about the property or the hosts. Excellent all around! ![Listening to the rain on the large porch.

We had an amazing stay at Fontana Cabin! The property was well kept and directions were made very clear on the way up the mountain where to go. The cabin was very clean and well appointed and very nice inside. The view was spectacular - pictures don’t do it justice! We love to cook so one of our favorite parts was the kitchen. Anything and everything you need is there and it’s all so nice - like what you’d have in your own home. It was secluded and peaceful - just what we needed. We will be back! ##### Kari H.

Lots of space. Firepit area was great!We fit 3 pickups and 2 cargo trailers with no issues. The driveway is not for the faint of heart! It is steep and curvy so I would not recommend for beginner riders! For experienced riders, it is manageable. Overall a great rental!!! ##### ELIN B.

The views are unlike anything any of us have seen before. We had a group of 12, ranging from all ages and our dog and we didn’t feel crowded at any point. The cabin was larger inside than the pictures show. The kitchen was fully stocked, we had everything we needed to make breakfast and dinner. Thank you so much Robert and Danielle, this trip was truly unforgettable and we’d love to come back again. ##### Jennifer M.

We spent a week at the cabin and left only once to see some of the local waterfalls. The views of Lake Fontana and background mountains were stunning, particularly during early morning and before sunset. The cabin itself is spacious, well appointed, and was very comfortable for our group. We highly recommend this property. ##### allen m.

The stunning view of the lake was worth the entire trip! The house was well furnished and had all kitchen needs possible. It was also decorated so cute for the holidays! The first two days of the trip it snowed which was a special experience for our kids. Overall a great experience! ##### Samantha H.
