Waterfront vacation rentals in Fontana Lake

We had a wonderful stay! Great location that is close to many things to do in the area. Unit was very clean, spacious, & had everything one could need. Quiet and peaceful with a nice balcony looking over the river. Thank you for sharing your space!

What a lovely stay! We really enjoyed making a fire and cooking by the river. Such an awesome location and only a mile from the Nantahala Outdoor Center. I’d highly recommend Donnie’s stay to anyone looking for a private get away in the mountains. We will definitely stay again.

Very conveniently located within Townsend, which is quaint and has a good selection of restaurants, supermarkets, gas stations, etc. Studio was as described and they provided bathroom and kitchen amenity kits, which were helpful. Would recommend for an affordable but reliable stay when visiting the area!

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Helio was very responsive to messages and made check in easy. We were there with 3 teenage boys and the space was perfect. There was plenty of space and the 3 full bathrooms was a major plus. The place had everything you need to cook meals etc. We were advised the night before we arrived that the fireplace was not functioning, which was a disappointment, but we were accommodated in other ways by getting early check in and late check out, which helped us out. The bathrooms were clean and well stocked, and the jacuzzi tub was also nice to have. I would stay here again if we were to visit the area again.

We enjoyed our stay. The place was cozy and very clean, easy to find and walking distance to the Main Street. The hose was very responsive.

We enjoyed our 3-night stay. Good layout for a family of 3 or 4. Thank you for your availability to respond to questions and being a great host.

My husband and I had a great time at strawberry inn! The location was perfect to do so much! We were only a few minutes from some amazing restaurants and coffee shops! And the Caverns were amazing! We would recommend her place to everyone and hope to stay there again!

Mrs. Dottie was wonderful. Her and Mr. Don were beyond friendly and made us feel right at home. The apartment looks just as the pictures show. A new unit. Super clean. (We are very particular people and this place was one of the cleanest ever). We Will definitely be back the next time we stay in Townsend. A wonderful place to spend my 50th birthday. Thank you so much for your hospitality. We wish you both many blessings.

Thank you, Charity, for a perfect stay! Your home was cozy, beautifully appointed, and absolutely spotless! We took advantage of your hot tub, and spent plenty of time memorized by the river! We look forward to our return next month! Debbie and Dave

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!

Airbnb review We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this creekside cottage. The host was easy to communicate with, responding promptly to all our queries and ensuring a smooth check-in process. The cottage itself was very clean and well-stocked with everything we needed, highlighting the owners’ attention to detail. From toiletries to kitchen utensils, nothing was overlooked. Would definitely stay here again!

Becky’s place is beautiful and impeccably clean! She was extremely responsive as well. My husband and our fur children had a wonderful time. The view alone is worth a million bucks! Will definitely be back here in the future 😊

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.

The place is exactly as described. Very close to WCU and worked out great during move in day. Relaxing place to stay.

From the moment we put in our reservation Bobby and Dina made us feel so very welcomed. We truly enjoyed our stay at their beautiful home on the river. The peace and tranquility of the home made it a much needed getaway. I would highly recommend this home to anyone staying in the area. Bobby and Dina were super responsive to any requests we had and made some super recommendations of things in the surrounding are. We rode up on motorcycles and the drive in and driveway were very accessible for us to navigate and park. we will definitely be making this our usual place to stay when we're in the area.

The pictures don’t do this place justice—this home is absolutely breathtaking! The views from the top of the mountain are simply stunning, and the spacious, well-stocked home made our stay incredibly comfortable. We loved spending time together playing the variety of games provided by the hosts, and the kids especially enjoyed the arcade Pac-Man! The cultural artifacts throughout the home added such a unique touch. After a day of adventure, the hot tub was the perfect way to warm up and relax, and the plush bedding ensured we all slept like babies. Despite feeling like we were sky-high in the mountains, the property is conveniently located near great restaurants and activities. We especially enjoyed Bear Waters Brewing Co., snow tubing at Tube World, and skiing at Cataloochee Ski Area. If you’re thinking about booking, don’t hesitate—lock in your dates before my family beats you to it! Haha. We can’t wait to come back!

We thoroughly enjoyed our Gatlinburg vacation. The condo was in a great location and walkable to downtown, and the trolleys were easy to use when we didn’t want to walk. The creek beside the condo was so peaceful and we even saw bears just right down the street. Parking was easy and the pool was an added bonus. We would definitely stay here again!

Great place to stay. Centrally located to lots of great restaurants, attractions and grocery stores. Loved sitting out back listening to the birds and the creek below. Very private and peaceful. Super clean with lots of extra nice touches. Check out Anakeesta, beautiful park and incredible Mountain views.

We enjoyed our stay at Kim's place. It was very convenient to our son's wedding venue on Lake Fairfield. The area is so beautiful and Kim's place was very clean, well appointed and updated. It was easy to find and easy to access per the directions. Kim was always responsive to any questions I had and the clear communication was appreciated. We would definitely book again.

Location was on point!! We actually chose Romil’s place because of the walk in shower for my 84 & 86 year old parents along with separate bedrooms to each have our own personal space. Thank you, I hope to see you again!

It was our second time to stay here. Quiet, not all the hustle and bustle. Easy to get to attractions when you want to.

The first thing I noticed was a clean smell as soon as I opened the condo door. The condo was awesome! Centrally located and so easy to check in and out. It had everthing you could want in a condo. Beds were super comfy and the Keurig hit the spot! Will definetly be staying with this host again!

We booked last minute and by that, a day and a half before we arrived. Darlene responded within minutes and made arrival so easy with perfect directions/information. Darlene checked in with us during our visit and with the welcome packet Darlene sent us, I had minimal if any questions. The place exceeded our expectations and was so very close to the club and all the amenities. View was beyond! The only negative was we never saw a bear. 😂 We will be back!

We had a great stay at Melissa and William's place! It was perfect for us, and cozy in the winter weather. With leaves off the trees, the views of the lake and mountain were awesome!! We were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. We would love to stay again sometime!
