Pet-Friendly Cabin - 1 Mi From Fontana Lake!

Reviews

• Hilltop Hideaway

  4/5

  The driveway to the place is very narrow so use caution when coming or going. When we arrived, the parking was clearly labeled but the entrance you think you would use is not the entrance you do use so that was a bit confusing. When you walk in, there were lights on and it was very inviting. Everything we needed for our stay was provided-towels, a bundle of firewood, hand soap, movies, internet, laundry detergent, dish soap and detergent etc. The beds were super comfy except for the master on the one side; as soon as you lay down, you sink into a hole so it could use replaced. Only other downfall to this property is it could use a deep clean; there was a lot of pet hair on the floor and baseboards. Other than those few things, this property is absolutely beautiful. I loved all the little touches to make it feel like home. Our kids loved roasting marshmallows over the fire while watching a movie in the beautiful living room. There are sliding glass doors everywhere so there was beautiful views surrounding you all over. The internet was just upgraded and it worked great!! I would definitely stay here again the next time we visit the area! Thank you for having us!

• SO RELAXING,CONVENIENT

  1/5

  WONDERFUL PROPERTY.SO GLAD TO FIND A PLACE THAT LETS ME HAVE MY DOGS. NO RESTRICTIONS ON HOW MANY OR SIZE LIKE OTHER PLACES. LOVED THAT THE PLACE IS CLOSE TO A DOLLAR GENERAL & GAS STATION, CAUSE I NEEDED A CPL OF THINGS.

  ONLY DOWN SIDES WAS THAT I WAS HOPING TO TAKE A LONG BATH AFTER NOT HAVING A TUB FOR 3-1/2 YRS, BUT THERE WAS NO PLUG. HAD TO USE A WASHCLOTH.

  Just a weekend away with our grandkids. Just a perfect spot, size was just right for 4 people. Plus being dog friendly was the frosting on the cake.

  the pictures of the place are great, however not what it looks like, you are 15-30 feet to TWO diff houses up there, there’s not a private place on any part of the porch bc of the two neighboring houses…good stay but not all what it looks like, i wanted it for privacy, felt like there were eyes on me from every angle all throughout the house. makes creepy scary noises at night all throughout the house as well.

  Hi Ben, thank you so much for letting us know about your stay. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they would like to share the following: "I'm so glad you thought the stay was good except for the concerns that you shared. It is normal for people to experience anxiety while staying in the woods if they're used to city sounds or lots of people around because it is a quieter environment than one might be accustomed to at home. This is a gated community, but it is surrounded by nature with nature sounds. There are floor-to-ceiling windows to let in gorgeous daylight and surrounding forest views, and curtains on all windows to close at nighttime. All 6 sliding doors around the cabin provide full privacy with the curtains open so you can really take in the surrounding scenery with no visual disruptions during the daytime. Though there is some visibility of neighboring houses from the decks outside, there are several spots on the 400 sq. ft. of decks where you can rearrange chairs and tables to create a private and tranquil space among the surrounding trees. The cabin is located atop a hill, with another house positioned about 250 feet down the hill, which remains unoccupied most of the year. Our listing also mentions another vacation rental on site which is located across a shared driveway about 150 feet from the cabin. We hope this information proves helpful, and that these explanations provide some clarity. Please know that it is our sincere desire to provide a welcoming and enjoyable experience for our guests and we hope that you will come back again someday to enjoy nature in our cozy and newly renovated cabin!"

  This location was sooooo breathtaking. We love the view of the mountains surrounding us. Plus this location is smack dab in the middle of pretty much everything. From Nantahala River to Fontana Lake to the Great Smoky Mountains. I wish we could’ve stay more longer. I will definitely recommend this cabin to family members and friends 100%.
