Unbeatable location

100% of guests in the past year gave this location a 5-star rating.
The mist is still on the water when your coffee's ready. You didn't set an alarm. You didn't need to.

This is the trip you kept almost planning.

Private dock on Fontana Lake. Wood-burning fireplace. A separate suite so grandparents — or whoever needs their own door — actually get one. Sleeps 9. Deep in the Smokies.

These are the trips they'll talk about when they're grown.

Guest access
The mist is still on the water when your coffee's ready.

You didn't set an alarm. You didn't need to.

Someone's already in the kitchen — you can hear it through the French doors. The kids are still asleep in the loft. And your parents, in their own little suite around the back with their own door and their own morning routine, are probably doing exactly what they want to do without asking permission from anyone.

This is the trip you kept almost planning.

Fontana Lake sits below the deck, green and still, ringed by the kind of mountains that don't rush you. The stone path through the trees leads to the dock — your dock, private, covered — where the fishing rods lean against the rail and nobody's waiting for a reservation. Tonight there'll be a fire. S'mores. Someone will say we should do this every year and this time, everyone will actually mean it.

The cottage holds nine without anyone feeling like they're in the way. The wood-burning fireplace earns its keep when the mountain evenings cool down. The sunroom fills with afternoon light. And that suite — the one with the vaulted ceilings and the separate entrance — is why this works. Grandparents who can close their own door. A second couple with actual breathing room. The kind of setup that turns a good trip into a great one.

Deep in the Smokies. Right on the water. Yours for a few days.

Some trips you remember for years. Start here.
