Lakefront Cabin-Mnt View-Hot Tub-WIFI-Prime Location-Bryson City/Cherokee Summary: "Ocona Lake Escape” – Secluded LakeFront Cabin – Shoreline Deck - Fishing - Mountain View – Private & Quiet Setting - Cathedral Tongue & Groove Ceilings – Stone Fireplace – Sparkling Hot Tub – Outside Firepit – WIFI – Private & Upscale Mountain Home Community – 10 Minute Drive to Bryson City/Cherokee/Casino/Great Smoky Mnt Nat Park – Sleeps 6 (New Listing – Sept. 2022) The space: Unique Lakefront Smoky Mountain family or couple’s vacation retreat; privately nestled along the shores of quiet Oconaluftee (Ocona) Lake in the beautiful & scenic Bryson City / Cherokee area. Property has over 400 feet of private waterfront shoreline. Panoramic views of the water both inside the cabin and outside on the decks. No close neighboring cabins/homes on either side of you or across the water; all you see is trees, water and mountain views – very unique given the cabin’s prime location. Only 10 minute drive to all the following top sights: Bryson City, Deep Creek entrance of the Smoky Mnt Nat Park, Cherokee, Harrah’s Casino, and main entrance to the Smoky Mnt Nat Park. Guests will enjoy the two large covered porches for ample space to gather as a family and enjoy the views, R&R and water fun! First covered porch alongside the cabin has the Hot Tub for that o-so-relaxing soak, gas grill for those master chefs, sectional sofa for casual lounging, and outdoor dining table (seating for 6) for sharing in those home cooked meals and good conversation in the fresh mountain air overlooking the water. Second covered porch is via a staircase (as pictured) down to right along the shoreline of Lake Ocona, perfect for grabbing couple fishing poles. Fisherman’s dream - Fish at the water's edge right from your own private covered porch! In addition to the two covered porches, there’s also an open air deck that spans the entire length of the cabin. Lounging here affords you a gorgeous view of both the smoky mountains off in the distance AND the water down below. You’ll want to sit and stare at that view for hours (we do!) Once you step inside the cabin, you’re greeted by the warm tongue & groove pine cathedral ceilings in the main living space, together with a fully equipped & freshly-appointed kitchen. Floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace w/ electric insert, along with a large LED TV/DVD mounted above the fireplace mantle is a sure focal point for gathering around. The living and kitchen space flow together for a light, bright and open floor plan. Plenty of seating to gather on the leather sectional sofa, leather recliner chair, dining table (overlooking the lake), and large kitchen island with additional seating for four. To the left of the living space, down the hallway, is where you’ll find the guest bedroom (with two sets of bunk beds – perfect for the kids and/or an adult couple sleeping on the two lower twin beds), along with a full bathroom. Laundry room (washer/dryer) is also down that same hall. On the other side of the cabin, to the right of the living space, you’ll find the Primary Bedroom with its own private en-suite full bathroom. Primary has its own TV. You’ll never want to leave your rustic King Bed with views out the glass sliders onto the deck that overlook both the waters below and the mountain views above! A view (not worth) getting out of bed for : ) Cabin is located within the Ocona Lake Estates Community in Bryson City, a private upscale mountain home community, easy access off highway 19 which runs between Bryson City and Cherokee. Community borders the Cherokee Tribal Lands, so the location and proximity to everything nearby is truly unmatched. Easy access in and out of the Ocona Lake Estates community w/ well maintained one lane gravel roads w/ pull outs for passing (though traffic is very light, small community); 2WD vehicles are just fine (nothing overly steep). Cabin’s driveway is on the steeper side, but is fully paved. Guests can park at the top or bottom. Cabin sits where the Oconaluftee (Ocona) River (which flows directly out of the Smoky Mountain Nat Park and through Cherokee) meets Ocona Lake on the upsteam side of Ela Dam; a smaller lake that is fertile for Trout fishing among other kinds of fish. Water flows very slowly here. Motorized boats are not allowed on Ocona Lake, only kayaks and non-motorized small boats, so you’ll be able to enjoy the peace and serenity without the noise. There’s an area you can put in your kayak, paddle board or other water-toys to enjoy a day on the lake! So many great attractions nearby - local shops, restaurants, breweries/wineries, the casino, boating/fishing the area rivers/lakes, hikes/waterfalls, river rafting/tubing, golfing, horseback riding, ATV trails, zip lining – to name just a few. An outdoor lover’s paradise! The Great Smoky Mountain Railroad runs out of Bryson City and is a wonderful, scenic keepsake experience. Visit greatsmokies (dot) com for more great information on the local area! WIFI Internet is also provided and available. Good for simple web browsing/emails. No streaming or other high usage gaming over the WIFI. Cell service is typically strong at the location of the cabin, so most guests shouldn’t have an issue making calls/text/streaming using their own devices, if desired. Or, unplug from it all (we recommend this approach best)! DISH TV service is provided. Two TVs, one in living room and one in master bedroom. Absolutely NO SMOKING inside the cabin. A $500+ charge will be billed for any evidence or odor of smoking inside the cabin. If you do smoke, please use approved outdoor waste bins, do not toss over railing. We thank our guests for adhering to this policy for the enjoyment of all our guests. Arrival information along with our stay policies will be sent to each guest approximately one week before their arrival date. ## Property amenities ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the cabin: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - DVD player - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Firepit - Garden - Gas grill - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Gravel flooring in public areas - Smoke-free property ### Location highlights - In the mountains - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near a zoo - Near an outlet shopping centre - Near the marina - On a lake - On a river - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Parasailing nearby - Rafting nearby - Swimming nearby - Theme park nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks 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 (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Front of property – evening/night](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/20000/16400/16400/5ab4f61f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Inn On The River Pigeon Forge - Pool - Hot tub - Breakfast included - Parking included 9.4 Exceptional 1,170 reviews £73 includes taxes & fees 8 Mar - 9 Mar [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-08&endDate=2026-03-09&selected=16400&PinnedHotelID=16400&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Premium bedding, desk, blackout curtains, iron/ironing board](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/91000000/90160000/90154200/90154176/c668d7b8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Outland Chalet & Suites Great Smoky Mountains Whittier - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi - Air-conditioning - Business services 9.8 Exceptional 40 reviews £120 includes taxes & fees 3 Mar - 4 Mar [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-03&endDate=2026-03-04&selected=90154176&PinnedHotelID=90154176&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/116000000/116000000/115998900/115998844/8cc2d12e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Newfound Lodge on the river Downtown Cherokee - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi 7.8 Good 162 reviews £71 includes taxes & fees 3 Mar - 4 Mar [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-03&endDate=2026-03-04&selected=115998844&PinnedHotelID=115998844&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![House (2 Bedrooms) | Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/95000000/94380000/94373800/94373735/29685b6d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Private Hot Tub & Covered Deck: Cozy Whittier Gem Whittier - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Free Wi-Fi - Air-conditioning 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-16&endDate=2026-03-17&selected=94373735&PinnedHotelID=94373735&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Apartment (2 Bedrooms) | Front of property](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/94000000/93210000/93203600/93203579/7abea309.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beautiful Whittier Condo w/ Deck + Mtn Views!

The location was very central for what we wanted to do and the host did a good job. Well worth it. Driveway is a bit sketchy and the one lane road coming in but after a day or so, even Florida boys can handle it. We appreciate the dog friendly environment. Thanks for the opportunity. ##### Donald M.

Not an accomodation for the infirm. Very peaceful. Very nice locals. Great restaurants close by. First class towels, etc. More items provided than any rental in recent memory. ##### Susan B.

We enjoyed fishing every day loved the large deck with hot tub. It was close to Cherokee and also Bryson city. we were there through hurricane Helene and the host reached out to us to make sure everything was OK and that we didn’t need anything because we lost cell service and Wi-Fi. Luckily they had dish satellite TV so we could still watch news. overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to friends and family. Would love to come here again. Host was awesome! ##### Glenn H.

The beds are extremely comfortable and I am a bed snob LOL. Everything was very clean inside and the kitchen was supplied with everything that we needed for cooking . We loved that there were fishing Poles supplied just be sure to stop and get some bait along the way. At night the sounds are so amazing it sounds like you're in a rainforest. We absolutely loved sitting in the hot tub by the fire and spending family time together.The hosts got back to us with any questions are concerned right away and it was greatly appreciated. Just a few things the water is not swimming ball, There were lots of spider webs and we encountered a crazy huge spider but us women could handle. The light switches are a little strange half patient's you'll figure them out. Other than that completely satisfied will definitely stay againwateisn'tswimminable.dinners.and breakfast ##### Billiejo D.

We arrived late Thursday evening so we really just got the chance to h load the vehicle and sit out on the deck and look out to the water. The walkway down to the fishing deck was unbelievable and so pretty all lit up. (Yes it was a bunch of steps but well worth it) inside the house it was beautifully decorated, the beds were comfortable and the view from the master bedroom was breathtaking each morning! The next day the family spent the majority of the day fishing and we caught several bass, the river was flowing fast due to all the rain days earlier so it made the fishing a little harder but it was so relaxing. When we needed a break from that we headed up the stairs to the hot tub were we took a dip and just relaxed! This was definitely a very enjoyable and relaxing stay we will definitely book again! Thank you for sharing your home with us! ##### Ashley F.

The property is secluded; yet, close to shops, dining, and hiking. We loved the view at the cabin, and the covered part was nice incase of rain. There are lots of hiking trails near by, and not just in the national park. Cherokee has nice trails dogs can go on too! This was the cleanest vrbo we’ve seen, and the hosts were very helpful and responsive. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/49ad3382-bc06-4580-bb98-2e9c20ac8018-1764525851120.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### April R.

It's quite and close to a lot of attractions. I loved sitting on the deck and watching the three river otters every night.

This was by far the best VRBO we have stayed at in this vicinity. It is central to both Bryson City and Cherokee. We only used the Master bedroom and the bed was very comfortable. The deck with the hot tub overlooking the River is very private and cozy. We were able to launch our inflatable kayak from the shore down by the dock for daily adventures. The house has everything you need and is very clean. This is our new favorite pick and we will definitely be returning next summer. ##### Brooke L.
