Lake house vacation rentals in Fontana Lake

This was such a sweet stay and we wish we could have stayed longer! Beautiful location - my husband enjoyed fly fishing during the day on the water and I was only 20 minutes from kayaking at the NOC. The house was very clean - tidy bathroom and kitchen with all your basics stocked to get you started. Hot tub was lovely and very clean! There is a steeper drop off next to the outside firepit so I would be mindful with little children. Easy check in and they were very flexible and responsive when we had some crazy weather pop up nearby. We will be back again and hopefully stay a little longer!

great stay right on the lake!! had everything we needed. kitchen equipped with enough to make our thanksgiving dinner. beds were comfy. she even asked if we wanted it decorated for Christmas.🎄 close to some beautiful hiking trails/falls. kids wanna go back for summer! raechel was always quick to reply and helpful with anything

The house is on a quiet cove of the lake, and the views from the house are spectacular in the Spring. We enjoyed kayaking and looking at the stars from the dock. I'd love to go back in the summer when we can enjoy jumping in the water and floating all day on the lake. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook with a brand new grill.

The view of the lake from the large back porch was awesome. A peaceful place to relax and explore the lake on the canoes provided. There was a green egg on site for cooking dinner. I’d highly recommend this location!

Maria was very nice the listing was beautiful

It was the perfect place for a family gathering after Christmas at one of our favorite places. Only wished we could have stayed longer. We’d stay there again.

Beautiful & peaceful location. The house was lovely, kitchen well stocked with kitchen items, gadgets. Big beautiful windows to see out to the lake; and both bedrooms w/ lake views. Beautiful house! Lovely porch & dock, where we spent all our time.

We loved staying here! The house has everything one would need for a relaxing stay. My kids loved fishing from the dock, the legos, and puzzles- so much to do that screens were not even missed!

Awesome private cabin with a great location!

This makes our second time staying at Amanda’s place. It has been such an ideal spot for my family while visiting our kids at WCU. I truly can’t say enough. If you’re looking for a peaceful, beautiful neighborhood look no further! We love it!

The house was perfect for us. We were very comfortable there. We loved the fireplace and had a fire most nights. The enclosed porch was nice for our small dog that loved sitting out there looking for squirrels!

We had the best stay! The house looks exactly like the photos. The extra touches were so appreciated. We loved watching the wildlife from the porch. We spent so much time on the screened porch since there were heaters to use at night. Great for families to spread out or be together. Thank you for having us!

Jake’s Gem was fantastic! My family stayed for the week of Christmas. We watched nightly Christmas movies as a family in the cozy living room with soft fuzzy blankets on the big screen hung above the fireplace. We visited many local restaurants that were a short drive from the house. Also, we visited the pool/hot tub and game room at the Sapphire Valley Resort multiple days, which is a few minutes drive from the house. Jake was a wonderful host and very responsive to my messages offering great information!!

Wow! What a amazing place. So peaceful and quiet with amazing views. Will definitely be back

The house was stunning, the driveway would definitely be a struggle for a lesser driver but overall, one of the best places we’ve stayed so far!

Great location for a stay in the woods and very close to lake access. Cashiers and Highlands just a short drive away for shopping, dinner dates, and other activities. Jenn’s place is very clean and nice for a family or couples stay.. separate private areas to enjoy. Kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need for dining in. We checked out great waterfalls and got tickets to Highlander Mountain House “Salon Series” so savored some great music after a delicious dinner. Can’t wait to return to Wanderlust soon

We've stayed around the Smokey's for years and this house provided some of the best views we've ever had. A beautiful, clean home that feels very inviting. We definitely recommend and would stay again. Host made us feel right at home and was available within minutes. It was evident she wanted us to enjoy our trip, which we did!

Everything about this house was absolutely wonderful! We had a stroke of bad luck passing around stomach flu which one of our kids brought home from school right before our trip, so we ended up staying in a couple of days. All the board games, ping pong, air hockey, ring toss and magnet darts made our stay so much better! Once we were able to get out, kayaking was a blast! What a great little spot. Very reasonably priced for everything offered!

Such a beautiful cabin! Location is close to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. The only (somewhat) downfall is the driveway. There are lots of potholes and it is steep. But as far as the cabin, it was wonderful. David was a very good host as well. He responded to everything in a timely manner. 10/10 would recommend!

It was one of the best vacations I've ever had, a beautiful and complete house, a wonderful and peaceful place, lush landscapes, beautiful waterfalls, I want to go back to the same place in the summer to be able to enjoy the lakes better. I recommend it to everyone.

Michael has an amazing home that was very family friendly and inviting. The lake views and house were even more impressive than the photos depicted in the rental posting. I will suggest to make sure your GPS is set to the address before heading up the mountain because cell service is intermittent. All and all the house has activities for days and my friends and family made memories that will last a lifetime

We had a wonderful stay with extended family. We have been coming to Santeetlah for over 20 years and it's beauty is always magnificent and peaceful. More than enough space for everyone to enjoy together or in private. We cooked just about every night of our 2 week stay, except for a couple of treat nights at Topoco Lodge, which we love. Star gazing off the deck, breakfast on the quiet gorgeous lake and convenient private dock for our rented pontoon boat. Beds were very comfortable and host was responsive to the one problem we had with hot water - was addressed and fixed promptly. Note that there are a lot of stairs to access the entry of the house (not that unusual for Lake Santeetlah, but if you're new to the area it's important to know). We will be back!

We had a magical wintertime stay! It snowed a good bit during our visit and this house could not have been cozier. Everything was clean and comfortable. The layout is really spacious and full of daylight. It was a bonus that we could bring our pups who enjoyed walks down the long scenic driveway. The walk down to the pond was also fun. The roads and driveway in this community are fully paved and well maintained. We had no trouble getting around in an AWD vehicle even in the snow. We hope to return in the Summer to enjoy the amazing porch!

My family of 8 stayed seven nights between Christmas and through New Years. Peter was a fantastic host and the cabin was beautiful! We love the big windows in the living room and throughout the cabin (you can see the lake and mountains from most spots). We loved the lake and area. There was always something fun to do, whether we just stayed in and relaxed or went out exploring nearby hiking trails. We had an excellent stay and highly recommend.
