Vacation rentals with a fire pit in Fontana Lake

This place was beautiful. We loved having fires and the fenced in back yard.

We immediately felt at home at Gina’s farmhouse. Very peaceful, clean and well stocked. Loved the covered bridge and creek. The beds were very comfortable. The house is close to town but feels private. Gina left easy directions to the property and lots of recommendations for things to do. We are already planning our next trip!

This is a beautiful home tucked into a peaceful little corner of the mountains. The house has all of the basics covered. The waterfalls in front of the house are beautiful and provide a constant white noise that I found to be very peaceful. However, the roar is surprisingly loud. The home is very automated (Alexa to control the lights, motioned sensing trash can, etc.) which I guess can be a pro or a con depending on preference. We especially loved all of the deck space! And I loved all of the windows that brought in a ton of natural light.

Usually when you stay at an Airbnb, you get what you pay for but here we got a very unexpected and never before experienced stay. Every single detail was so thoughtful and so generous, and it made our time an absolute blessing. Joan and clay are such a joy to talk with and they have gone far above and beyond any other place to make sure we had everything we could want or need. Truly felt like they were family and enjoyed our stay so so much. Will be back soon.

My wife and I grew up in Sylva. We came home to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary. We had several questions for Diane and she was wonderful to work with. We will definitely rent this property again. You will not be disappointed if you stay here.

Will be coming back to this space!! So beautiful, every detail and amenity was available and thought through. Felt right at home & was able to bring the pups! We forgot a water bowl & Lindsey had one ready for us when we got there with plenty of paw towels and doggie bags!! Also, expect a pretty steep driveway! We have a 4-WD and AWD vehicle and had little to no problems. Thank you to Lindsey for offering this amazing space !

After staying at a few airbnbs lately that have had photos that are “favorable” to what they are like in person, it was refreshing to get to Tina’s place and have the exterior, interior finishes and amenities, and views meet and exceed my expectations. Tina’s place had everything I needed for a comfortable quiet stay - a nice bed, super well stocked kitchen, and multiple spaces to enjoy the mountains. I left thinking about when I’d bring my wife and friends back. As set up for my stay, you could sleep a couple in the bedroom, there’s a couch in the living room, and two twin bunk beds in the loft.

Loved our very short stay. Unfortunately our three nights was cut short to one night due to a water issue that no one could have planned for. Katrin was very accommodating and took care of us! We hope to stay there again in the future. The cabin was beautiful and very secluded, but close enough (10 min drive) to the strip of Pigeon Forge.

We loved our stay here! The studio was just as advertised and easy to find. The kitchen was clean and had everything we needed to do our own cooking for the week. They provided enough soap and such for us to get started and we only really had to bring more toilet paper. Otherwise everything was there that we needed. We loved the games that they had there for us to use and the snacks were perfect too. We will definitely be looking at staying here again.

Will rent again, so cute!

I enjoyed staying at this quiet and peaceful place. It was neatly kept, clean, and comfortable. Dave and Barb were great, and I also enjoyed meeting Beans! Thank you for a wonderful place to stay during my trip.

Very clean, had everything we needed, great location. Would definitely return and recommend!

Great place close to Bryson City, private, with kid-friendly amenities. Would recommend.

We loved staying at Lara’s. Because of rainy weekend, the mountains were especially lush and foggy creating almost magical misty atmosphere. We were able to build a fire every night. Kitchen was perfectly stocked with nice scratch free pots/pans. Lots of nature and little towns to explore nearby. Thank you Lara - we would love to come back!

You feel right at home when you walk in the door. It’s a beautiful and peaceful location and within driving distance to popular cities in TN, NC and GA. My kids loved the board games and finding all of the wonderful toys. The view from the hot tub was magnificent. Even though they are a pet friendly location, they keep this space spotless. There were no pet odors and all of the furniture and beds were free of pet hair. We can’t wait to go back to this location again!!

Stay was great! I will be back for work soon!

My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon and it was unforgettable. We had the best time in the cabin. The view is breathtaking and it's close enough to all the attractions and restaurants we went to. The cabin looks exactly as it does in the pictures and the area is very safe. We absolutely loved it!

If it’s open BOOK IT !!☺️ I got to stay here for my birthday & I couldn’t have picked a better place! The property is beautiful & the pictures do not do it justice!The river was cooling and so much wildlife to look at through out the day. I enjoyed everything about this home from just relaxing in the living room, to swinging on the back porch by the fire pit, wish I could’ve stayed longer!! Tina & Matthew are wonderful hosts & I can’t wait to visit again!!

Cabin was spacious, clean, and comfortable with an unrivaled view!! Great privacy. We took a couple dog walks, explored Smoky Mountain National Park, Cherokee, and Bryson City. Hosts were great, very responsive and clear instructions for everything in the house and good suggestions for things to do in the area. We spent more time in the cabin than we have on past trips at other places because it was so relaxing.

We searched for a cabin for a long time, and in the end got tired of all the options and just picked this one. From the moment we entered we know we had made a great choice and we ended up booking an extra night. The cabin is supercosy and well organized, the view is amazing. There is one cabin at like 60 meters away or something but when you look out on your deck you feel like you're all alone in the world and it's a wonderful feeling. I can 100% recommend staying here.

Staying at Lee’s cabin was an absolute dream. Perched atop a mountain with wide open views in every direction, the setting was peaceful and awe-inspiring. The home itself is a gorgeous 70’s modern build, full of character with striking angles, massive windows, and natural light pouring in from every side. It’s the perfect blend of style, comfort, and immersion in nature. Lots of stone, glass, and wood. Lee was a fantastic host—communication was clear, check-in was seamless, and everything about the experience felt easy and welcoming. I found myself wishing I could extend my stay, but I knew snagging more time at a place like this wouldn’t be easy! Truly one of the most memorable stays I’ve had. No complaints at all—just gratitude. I’d come back in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!

Beautiful cabin with breathtaking views. Host was very responsive and helpful. Great amenities kept us busy.

The cabin was just like the pictures; serene and beautiful. The view was absolutely amazing to wake up to. It’s the perfect distance from downtown to where everything is nice and private , but still a quick trip to get to where you need to be. We will definitely be back!

This was such a wonderful place to stay! The views were amazing and the hot tub was very clean. The cabin was so spacious and such a cozy spot for our overnight stay. Would absolutely recommend!!
