Fontana Lake Cabin w / Private Dock, Fischteich, riesige überdachte Veranda & 50 + Acre

* Brandneuer Ofen, Herd, Kaffeekanne, Kühlschrank, Grill und Gefrierschrank *

Dies ist ein einzigartiges Hotel für diejenigen, die wirklich dem Alltag entfliehen möchten und einen aktiven Lebensstil in der freien Natur genießen möchten. Extrem privat, ist dieses Ferienhaus auf 50 + Acres Eigentum, das sich auf Tausende Hektar im Nantahala Forest sichert.

A 5 Minuten zu Fuß die Einfahrt neben unserem privaten und gut bestückt (Fang und Release) Teich und dann über eine unbefestigte Straße (wir sind das letzte Haus auf der Straße) führt zu einer privaten Bucht und Dock auf dem Juwel der Smokies, Fontana See.

Sprung von Ihrem eigenen privaten Dock in 25 'reinsten, saubersten Wasser vorstellbar. 85 Grad den ganzen Sommer lang. Ein Kajak ist vorhanden. Fischen, schwimmen oder einfach nur am Wasser entspannen.

Die Hauptkabine hat drei Schlafzimmer, ein Schlafzimmer mit einem Kingsize-Bett. Ein brandneuer Zusatz verfügt über ein Schlafzimmer im Erdgeschoss mit einem Kingsize-Bett und ein Schlafzimmer im Obergeschoss mit zwei Etagenbetten, jedes Etagenbett hat ein französisches Bett auf der Unterseite und ein Doppelbett auf der Oberseite. Eine Familie kann einige Leute in oder zwei Paare mit Kindern packen teilen konnte.

Es gibt auch eine separate, winzige Kabine mit einem Deck, das ein französisches Bett hat. Es ist ein kurzer Spaziergang von der Tiny Kabine des 800 Quadratfuß überdachte Veranda auf der Seite eines Hügels. Es ist wirklich ein Ort, der das Leben im Freien fördert und wir verbringen 90% unserer Zeit auf der Veranda mit drei Deckenventilatoren, wenn wir nicht im See oder auf dem Grundstück spielen.

Die Veranda (außerhalb Wohnzimmer) hat einen massiven Kamin aus Stein, von Sofas umgeben. Sie werden Marshmallows jeden Abend durch das Feuer liebe braten.

Die Veranda verfügt auch über ein Bad und eine sofortige Heißwasserdusche. So sind die winzigen Kabine Bewohner brauchen nicht in das Haupthaus zu gehen, beim Duschen oder die Einrichtungen. Die Dusche hat ein kleines Fenster Blick auf den Bach, die auf der Veranda in der Seite Hof neben läuft. Unsere Mädchen lieben stundenlang für Gold in den Strom zu schwenken. Ein Grill, Gas und Kohle wird zur Verfügung gestellt.

Wandern auf dem Grundstück auf, gibt es mehrere Wege, die an die Spitze des Kamms führen, wo die alte Forststraße für Meilen läuft. Wenn Sie sich für eine gemütliche 3-Meilen-Wanderung (einmal an der Spitze) entscheiden, können Sie es bis zum Ende fahren und Sie werden in der Bucht sein, wo sie den Jody Foster Film "Nell" gedreht haben.

Wenn Sie gerne Fisch zu fliegen, wird es nicht besser als dieses! Native Browns eine kurze Bootsfahrt entfernt.

Dies ist ein großartiger Ort für Outdoor-Abenteurer. Einige der besten Mountainbike in der Welt ist eine 15-minütige Autofahrt entfernt in Tsali, wo es Meilen von Wanderwegen, dass Sweep entlang abgelegenen Buchten von Fontana See.

Das Nantahala Outdoor Recreation Center ist nur 15-20 Minuten entfernt, wo Sie zu Mittag essen, ein Bier trinken oder eine geführte Wildwasser-Rafting- oder Kajak-Tour unternehmen können.

Winterbegeisterte: Während der See zu niedrig ist, ist der Berg Beech nur 45 Minuten entfernt.

Wir sind auch nur 25 Minuten von der schönen Bryson Stadt, oft die schönsten Bergstadt in Amerika gewählt. Es gibt so viel in der Stadt zu tun, von der Suche malerischen kleinen Antiquitätenläden, um die Täler reiten und den Fluss auf dem alten Bryson Zug.

Biker sind willkommen, aber wir werden nicht zu große Gruppen mieten, die gerade hier sind zu feiern. Der Schwanz des Drachen beginnt direkt vor unserer Straße, die besten Motorradfahren an der Ostküste.

Wir sind auch ganz in der Nähe (10-15) Minuten von Fontana Village, wo Sie Frisbee-Golf spielen, ein Eis bekommen, eines der Restaurants genießen oder ein Boot für den Tag mieten können.

Wenn Sie ein Stadterlebnis suchen, ist dies nicht der Fall. Wenn Sie atemberaubende Aussichten, Abenteuer, Wandern, Angeln, Radfahren, Erkunden und Zeit mit Familie und Freunden suchen, sind Sie hier genau richtig.

Awesome location to disconnect and spend time with family and friends. We had a great time hiking the trail up to the back country mountain road and enjoying the remote location. The outside fireplace was a big hit with us being able to gather everyday and enjoy the company.

Family Vacation

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Camp Cotton. The cabin was cozy and the property grounds were beautiful. We took full advantage of all this property has to offer....from fishing in the pond to enjoying time out on the covered porch in the evenings! Love the proximity to the lake and it's secluded dock access. It was the perfect escape for our family of four during the pandemic and we hope to visit again n the near future.

Great owner

We loved this place... great house, lake, pond, yard. We recommend it! The house wasn't particularly clean when we arrived, but the owner was very apologetic and made things right. His communication was excellent and I would highly recommend this rental not just for the rental itself, but for the excellent customer service.

Excellent Getaway!

A beautiful place with lots of area to explore without leaving the property. Still, relatively convenient to Robbinsville for shopping, etc. Love that dogs are allowed. Ours had a fantastic time on the trails and by the fire in the evenings. The owners don't provide the codes for getting into the property until the morning of check-in (this would have been comforting to know in advance for me). When we arrived, the lockbox did not have the keys, but the owner was fantastic about helping to get us in!

Secluded Paradise with the Smokey Mountain National Park across Lake Fontana

This property is extremely secluded and away from it all! On the inside it is well furnished and brand new. It has a very cozy feel of a true cabin in the woods. Outside a well kept winding road leads to the front gate. Then a private drive leads up to two small ponds filled with fish and wildlife. In addition the house is surrounded by 50 acres of private wooded land with a variety of trails. Across from the gate head down to Lake Fontana with a beautiful dock where we were able to dock a large pontoon boat. Plus a canoe and kayak were provided as well. A fantastic place to really get away!

Nice cabin, remote location

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin and it was a lovely get-away! We enjoyed the trails on the property and exploring Fontana Lake with the water level low. The cabin was of a good size and the beds were comfortable. Tips for those staying here, we were glad we had AWD for the driveway, which is a bit steep, and a couple of the numbers are missing from the mailbox as far as identifying the property. I would also suggest bringing matches or a lighter for the wood stove that is used for heat if you are traveling when it is cold. We also enjoyed trips into Bryson City for the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad and the Three Waterfalls hike, and a trip to the Fontana Dam, all of which we found to be a bit farther drive from the house than mentioned in the listing. (For us Bryson City was at least 35 min and Fontana Dam was 20 minutes.). It is also helpful to allow extra time for communication with owner through the VRBO messages. Beautiful property!

great opportunities abound for any sort of vacation stay - great beds, awesome fishing pond & lake

loved our stay at the cabin - well found a place to nestle in with the many room options - certainly one will fit each scenario. our kids totally enjoyed fishing the pond and catching the big one - a memory to last a lifetime. The lake was beautiful and so so clean. The walk down was a bit treacherous but worth it once there. The dock was spacious and it was generous to have use of their canoe and kayak. We did rent a pontoon one day from the marina which was nice - but ultimately - the lake is such a gem (clean, beautiful, no traffic, close) that we didn't need a boat rental much. The home is well equipped with a great supply of towels, comfy beds, washer and dryer (and they provided the detergent even), and more. The zip line was a nice bonus after a rainy morning - fun for all - even me at 60! We will certainly ponder coming back - nothing like the mountains of NC and this location is close enough to appease a diverse family. Thanks for letting us come.

This is an awesome cabin rental.

I would stay again. My grandfather in-law passed away so I took my wife along with her grandmother and mother away to this cabin for a getaway. We originally wanted to stay in Gatlingburg to spread the ashes, however there were no cabins anywhere in TN in the short time and proximity to Christmas we had. This cabin is only an hour and fifteen to Gatlinburg. So this was basically the only option we had and i'm glad it worked out that way. The cabin is pretty secluded so it was incredibly peaceful with many wilderness options. Plus all the reviews i read were awesome, the only problem i had is the reviews i was reading were from guests who stayed in summer months. I decided to stay anyway. Chelsea is the contact person for this property and i must say i had many questions along the way and she always answered them within the hour i had the question. Most other rental managers take at least 24 hours to get a response. Anyway we had an awesome time, even though we didn't get to try the zip line that runs from the deck to the lake, due to frozen water. Next time we will stay during the summer! Again thank you Chelsea! we had a great time.

What a hidden treasure...

There were 9 of us with six of them being kids and despite there being no satellite/cable, and the WiFi was not working we had a blast. We rented a pontoon boat from Prince Boat Dock because they let us keep it over night. We Fished, tubed on the lake, and swam in the lake. It is so deep that fishing was hard in the summer, but fun nonetheless. It is also near White Water Rafting, so we were able to do that as well. We spent most of the evening on the large porch with the fireplace and fans... Believe it or not, very little bugs when the fans are on. ALso follow the map in the cabin to the national park trails. It’s wonderful... So you can hike for hours, and boat for hours. WE also did the zip line at the house and it was well worth it if you have kids.... They loved it. THe house was clean and the caretaker was a wonderful person who was very informative. The pond on the property is full of fish for the kids to catch, and other than a long walk to the dock it was great. If you are going in the fall/winter, I know they drain the lake a lot so you might want to check before you go because the dock may be on dry ground. All in all, I can’t wait to go back, and other than the WiFi not working to watch Netflix it was great. But no WiFi did turn out to be a blessing in disguise because the kids actually had to play..... ha ha ha Lovely home!

Very peaceful and quiet

This house is a rare find! Due to the remote location and surrounding national forests, there are very few houses on Fontana Lake. This property is peaceful and perfect for a family getaway. Of our 7 day trip, we only left the house 3 times (GSMR train ride, rafting, and hiking), because there is so much to do without leaving. We spent our days fishing in the pond, picking blueberries and blackberries on the trail behind the house, reading in a hammock by the creek, swimming, skiing, boating, and hanging out under the covered porch. As a few other reviewers noted, we also experienced above-average maintenance issues while there. The most inconvenient was the lack of hot water in the 3rd shower, which the property manager said was caused by a recent storm and repairs are slow due to COVID and remote location. Internet was out 6 of our 7 days, same reasons as above. Those are understandable, but there was also a long list of small things that would be quick and easy fixes – at least 10 light bulbs were either missing or burned out, the outdoor sink didn’t have a drain pipe so the water soaked your shoes if you used it, dead batteries in remote controls, grass needed to be cut, dead tree in the front yard, several windows would not open/close, etc. Overall sense that the place doesn’t receive regular maintenance. Yet, there are signs everywhere about all the rules you have to follow and how much you will be charged for disobedience, including a fee for losing a puzzle piece or a washcloth. We certainly did not let these things ruin our trip, but I have rented 15+ VRBO properties and it just stood out as not a typical experience. BUT, don’t let that deter you from renting! It’s an incredible place and you’ll be glad you booked. The property manager was very responsive while we were there so hopefully this list of items will be corrected soon.

It worked

After my group and I got screwed over by someone else at VRBO we had limited options for booking a property to fit a large group. We found this house that was relatively close to where we needed to be. Overall house was good, it fit everyone but there was definitely more to improve on. 1. Wifi was really weak, granted this is a remote area but its something worth mentioning. 2. The fridge and appliances could use a good cleaning and/or replacement. 3a. I had a difficult time reaching out to the manager or whoever was taking care of the property. I've sent messages via VRBO without a reply. Had to call a few times before finally reaching someone, in which they answered the questions. 3b. The second communication issue was when we were already on the way to the house and I was supposed to receive entry info 24 hours in advance. I was about 6 hours out and didn't have any emails nor info. After calling the different numbers listed I got ahold of someone who then informed someone else to send me the details. 4. Location is simply ok, it's a bit of a hike to get to any main road. Probably a good 5 to 10 mins of driving and it's mostly gravel once you get close to the house. Compared to what someone said that you need a 4x4, it really sounded bad but it's not THAT bad. We all had lowered sports vehicles and we made it up. Granted, some tactical angling and guidance was necessary. I'd recommend the owner at least even out the gravel past the gate to not have bumps and humps in the middle. 5. Gate lock was a bit finnicky, we tried probably 3 times before one of us got lucky enough to open it. 6. The pond had dead fish there, might want to check that out. I mean overall it's not a bad place, we were able to hangout and enjoy ourselves but some improvements would definitely be much appreciated. I wish the owner also communicated better as there was some slight panic as we didn't want another screw up, but with all that we enjoyed our stay. Bring garbage bags just in case as you'll be taking out your own trash after the stay and dumping it into the recycling place they have down the road.

Property is a 5-star; house is disappointing

When we opted to rent the property, we were happy to hear from other renters that the property was a 5-star one. The need for a 4x4 is real, as the approach is a windy gravel road. The grounds are just as described. We stayed over the Christmas holiday, so using the water activities or the fishing in the pond was out. The lake was very low, so that was out, as well. But this has nothing to do with the review. The hiking trails were clearly marked on a map in the property book. We definitely enjoyed that part of the trip. The shooting area was great, as well. The targets are easy to spot and are well distributed around the property. The disappointing part was the house. We've stayed at several other homes in the past, so maybe we have been spoiled. Given the price of our 10-day stay, we expected much more. The house needs to be remodeled. It is very dated. You enter through the kitchen. It is well-equipped with lots of pots and pans, dishes, glassware & cooking utensils. The refrigerator is older and the ice maker wasn't working. It works well, so we assume that's why it hasn't been replaced. The stove burners were dirty when we arrived, which we cleaned off of the ceramic cooktop to avoid further damage. The oven is missing the bar-handle, which makes opening the oven dangerous. There is no dining room in the house. The photos show a dining room table but it is located outside under the covered patio by the gas grill and outdoor fireplace. Luckily we were only 3, so we ate inside on the kitchen counter. Dinner in the cold is not what we were looking for. We usually look to enjoy a fireplace inside the house. The half-wall in the master bedroom isn't conducive for privacy. If someone is watching a movie on the living room side, you hear it in stereo. The master bathroom was comfortable, but older. The washer & dryer were in the bathroom, and I have to say the machines were great. The Wi-Fi was spotty, which made watching Netflix or Amazon almost impossible. The house's landline was disconnected, so in case of emergency, not having cellular service and the bad Wi-Fi connection is unnerving. Bottom line is that the house isn't homey, which is what we look for in a Christmas getaway. It wasn't decorated for the season, which might help. The main house is a 3/2 plus the pod. There should be a fire pit on the side of the house that faces the pond. That was a great spot to sit and view the water.

A wonderful time.

We had such a wonderful time staying here. It was so comfortable and plenty of room to run. The views around the cabin are spectacular. We’ve never stayed in this particular area of the mountains before but this was exactly what we were hoping for. Tons of area to mountain bike, hike, fish and just get out & explore. The cabin had lots of space for adults and kids. The kids loved the games and loft areas and we all enjoyed the outdoor areas as well. It was very scenic and just far enough from all the hustle & bustle of city life.

Über den Gastgeber

Zu Gast bei Don Cotton

Bild für Gastgeberprofil
We live in South Florida and love the Smoky Mountains. This is our seventh year renting Camp Cotton and we're so glad to welcome you. We love this property, it has been a dream for us to own such a place. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Darum fiel die Entscheidung auf diese Unterkunft

It is very unlikely you will find anything like our 50+ acres with trails, epic hiking on the ridge through Nantahala, a private cove and dock just a short walk away, a fully stocked fishing pond and an amazing, huge porch with a massive stone fireplace to keep everyone enjoying the outdoors until bedtime.

Das macht diese Unterkunft einzigartig

So private. Yet we still have Internet! If you're hoping to stream for days, this is not ideal. The remote nature of our property does mean you will need to forgo a digital trip and get outside to enjoy! Cell coverage is not great. We're near Tsali, the NOC, the Appalachian Trail, the world famous Tail of the Dragon, Bryson City and the 20-Mile entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
