Waterfront Home, Hot Tub, Gas Fireplace, Fire Pit, WiFi, Family & Dog-Friendly

This welcoming modern cottage is located directly on Fontana Lake in the summer and Alarka Creek in the fall, winter, and spring. Pull your boat up to our dock in the summer or fish in the trout-stocked creek steps outside your door when the lake is down. Let the sounds of the flowing creek wash away all of your life's stress or hop in the hot tub for the same effect!

The house has a well-stocked kitchen with the tools and spices needed to help prepare a meal. The living room's gas fireplace provides the perfect backdrop for family game time, curling up with a book, or a romantic evening in. With a memory foam king bed in the upper suite, queen bunk beds downstairs, and two baths, this cottage perfectly accommodates a family or two couples travelling together. A Pack 'n Play and booster seat are provided. A washing machine and dryer are also available. You will find many of the "little things" are taken care of to help make your stay easy and comfortable.

Hiking, biking, rafting, and more are just minutes away. In about 10-20 minutes, you can drive to Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Great Smoky Mountains Railway, Tsali Recreation Area, Nantahala Outdoor Centre, and Bryson City. Or stay in and enjoy a book, film, or game with your family and friends. In addition to the smart TV and Roku, you'll have an extensive DVD collection to choose from. There is also an NES Classic Nintendo, with 30 retro Nintendo games, to help keep the kids, or the kid in you, entertained.

Fontana Lake is typically up from Memorial Day to Labour Day. During this time, boating, kayaking, and swimming directly from our cottage is possible. After Labour Day, the lake level is lowered and Alarka Creek is just outside the door. The creek level varies, but it generally isn't deep enough to support boating or kayaking. While we cannot control the water level, we are happy to answer any questions you have about it before your stay.

Bryson City is approximately 10-15 minutes down the road. There you will find a supermarket, dining options, local breweries, and shopping.

Cherokee is approximately 25 minutes away, just a few exits down highway 74. Here, Harrah's Cherokee Casino, museums and cultural experiences, hiking, biking, and more await your discovery!
