Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Fontana Lake

Great, spacious and quiet home! Would stay again.

We had an amazing stay at this Airbnb with our family of 10, ranging from a baby to grandparents. The house was meticulously maintained and spotlessly clean. It had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing trip. The layout was perfect, with plenty of space for everyone to spread out while still having great common areas for gathering. Every room was beautifully designed, so no one felt like they got the “lesser” room. The views were absolutely incredible, and we loved the added amenities—board games, foosball, a jacuzzi, and a grill. The host was fantastic—super responsive, helpful with local recommendations, and proactive in keeping us informed about a nearby fire. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend this home for any group looking for a relaxing and well-equipped retreat!

Wonderful, clean home in a beautiful town! Hosts left very helpful instructions and we felt right at home. House was very well stocked with towels, coffee, etc. Would recommend!!

This was the second place I ever camped — the far campsite is epic, as is the cabin! Everything one could want, and incredibly responsive hosts. And the setting is mind blowing…just gorgeous.

It is such a beautiful home and very secluded. We had an amazing week staying there and hiking in the Great Smoky Mountains. The home had a great sound system and hot tub which really put it over the top. The no WiFi made you really disconnect from everything and enjoy the views. Overall a great place to just relax and enjoy nature.

We had a great overall experience, we always love the waynesville area. The home was clean, organized, and exactly as described. Host was very thorough with instructions and very easy to Interact with. 10/10 would stay again!

I have never stayed at a more well stocked rental. If you forgot anything, no worries, she probably has it in the house! Joan left some very thoughtful, personal touches like having the heated blanket turned on for me when I arrived, a bowl of treats, etc. My favorite part is a tie between the gorgeous claw foot soaking tub which I used every night, and the beautiful view of the mountains from a large picture window. The location was really beautiful, and had a grocery store and multiple gas stations within a few miles of the house. The only thing that kept it from being perfect, was the spotty wifi, which is understandable in the mountains, but all the lighting was hooked to Google, so Google either didn't understand, or the wifi kept failing for the commands. It just seemed it took 5x as long to turn on a lamp, than simply turning the switch. I ended up unhooking the one in the bedroom during my stay. I would highly recommend this rental, and Joan is an amazing host.

Very clean and quiet home. Our stay was great we had beautiful views. Sadly we didnt spend alot of time in the home as we were visiting family. Great vacation home if you just want to relax and get away.

Don and Renie are top notch hosts! They have thought of everything to make your stay perfect-snacks, drinks, comfortable mattresses, ample towels, games, and even a frozen pizza in the fridge! Their mountaintop rental has a beautiful view of WCU campus with comfortable outdoor spaces for soaking in the peaceful surroundings. Don has excellent local recommendations and is a great source of information regarding Western Carolina University. We felt so incredibly welcome! We’ll be back!

very beautiful very private definitely recommend

I have lived in a lot of places over the past year while traveling for school, and this was the best of the bunch. Everything was great, including a clean comfortable space, available toiletries, efficient appliances, simple check in and out, amazing 10/10 mountain view.

This place was amazing and the backyard was beautiful. We had a blast. It's not too far from all of the restaurants and activities/attractions in pigeon forge. Takes about 30-40 mins to get to everything. The hot tub was the cherry on top. I 100% will be back !

This farm stay was such a unique and peaceful experience. The property is beautiful and full of charm, but the highlight was definitely the animals! It felt like stepping into a slower, more grounded way of life. It was so fun (and relaxing) to be surrounded by nature and all the animals—truly therapeutic. The hosts were wonderful, welcoming, and made sure everything was comfortable. I’d absolutely recommend this to anyone looking to unplug and enjoy a slice of farm life.

This was our second year staying here. It was great! Definitely a place we will come back to in the future!

My wife and I honeymooned here . The place was beautiful, spacious and clean . With a view that was TO DIE FOR. The last night we met Jose , we talked with him for a bit . Very very nice guy ! Between the views , the place in general and Jose’s hospitality we will definitely be back if ever in Maggie vally!! 100000 out of 10 all around amazing !!!

I would of stayed indefinitely if I could. Perfect perfect perfect!! I still can’t believe how lucky I am to be able to experience such peace 🫶

Loved our love stay here as it felt like you a living in Appalachian safari because lots of deer, mink, peacocks, rabbits, eagles and more visited the property regularly. The river and surroundings offer the feeling or remote tranquility but the super fast skyline internet and town 5 minute drive away mean you are still close to civilization.

This place was great! It was nice to plan a surprise trip for some of my family and they all really enjoyed this private castle in the woods. The hosts were great and responsive to any questions or concerns that we had. We were able to conveniently go to a few smaller towns nearby and we would definitely return.

This place is a great stay for anyone looking for a place centrally located in the Cashiers/Sapphire area. Easy and scenic walk around lake Fairfield. Great Mountain View from back patio. Easy access to Sapphire National Golf Course. The place is very spacious with room to spread out for the whole family and it is equipped very well. Roland is responsive and checked in on us periodically to make sure everything was well. I highly recommend staying here!

We stayed for four nights. The views from this home are more incredible than any picture could capture. We stay in many rental homes when we travel. This is the most well appointed kitchen we’ve ever used. Communication with the host was easy and rarely needed. Lots of great instructions on how to do things around the house. And the space was just simply beautifully decorated. I wanted to spend time with my family in a beautiful home with a breathtaking view. This home did just that! Thank you for sharing your home.

Julie’s Haven was stunning. My husband and I went for a much needed weekend away and the view is absolutely jaw dropping as soon as you walk in. It was the perfect amount of space with such thoughtful touches in every corner. Julie has really thought of EVERYTHING! She was so responsive with any question I had or concern. We are already planning next year’s trip up. So gorgeous and restful. We made a hike over to the view point and soaked that in and dreamed of having a view like that one day. Just book it. It is luxury in the mountains!

Our stay at Encore on Nantahala Lake was nothing short of spectacular. The views were stunning, and the accommodations were exceptional. The owners paid remarkable attention to detail, ensuring that every aspect of our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. We rented a boat from Lake End Boat Rentals and Marina, which made the experience even smoother as they handled both delivery and pickup for us. We spent a peaceful evening on the lake, exploring beautiful hiking trails in the area, which made our return to the lake even more delightful as the sun set. Visiting during spring break meant that some activities were limited due to the cooler water temperatures, but we actually appreciated the quieter atmosphere compared to the bustling summer months. Overall, our week was filled with wonderful experiences, and the excellent communication with our host made it all more enjoyable. We were truly blessed to find this gem on Lake Nantahala it certainly lived up to its name. Thank You!

We were so impressed with this villa. It was absolutely amazing and one of the best places we have stayed. The unit was extremely clean, comfy beds, lots of extra things to make our stay more enjoyable, the master bathroom is awesome and the host was very responsive. It is quiet and private but close to everything. We can not wait to book our next stay.
