Vacation rentals with a fire pit in Fontana Lake

I loved this place, its was secluded and peaceful. I’ll be honest I thought there would be more space but I’m glad there wasn’t. It’s a perfect spot for love and togetherness. There were lots of games to play together and everything ended up being perfect. The only thing I wished was there was a convention oven or air fryer but honestly it wasn’t needed. I would definitely visit again. 10/10 would definitely recommend.

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!

Great cabin super close to downtown Highlands. Looks just as great as the photos, perfectly clean, very nicely appointed and furnished. This was a much better situation for our family over a local hotel. We would definitely come back!!

Staying at Mill Creek Cottage was much like visiting a beloved friend’s house. We’ve stayed in some Airbnbs that were almost antiseptic and boring. Not Joan’s place! It was wonderful and quirky and comfortable - and had absolutely everything we needed. We spent five days hiking, grilling out, playing games, and just sitting on the deck watching the birds and enjoying the mountain air. If we ever head back to Hayesville I will check to see if this cottage is available!

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.

John was a great host. It was a beautiful stay.

would stay here again ! lovely location and nice place inside and out

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!

Me and my sister stayed here for a weekend in Gatlinburg and it was great! Laurie was always quick to respond and everything ran smoothly. It’s also in a great location and we could quickly get to the strip. We really enjoyed the stay and it’s amazing for the price!!

Joe and Karly were so kind and their cabin was everything we were looking for to celebrate our honeymoon. The location was private and serene. The cabin was clean and cozy with everything you could need! Joe and Karly let us know ahead of time about an unscheduled maintenance check happening to the cabin. They made sure we were taken care of and knew what was going on. I would definitely recommend this cabin to anyone! It was beautiful and had breathtaking views! We miss it already!

Loved how peaceful having the river right outside was! and plenty of space to spread out and enjoy it-whether it was at the firepit, in the hot tub, on the swings, or either area up on the porch (screened in and not). Would absolutely come back!

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!

Heather’s place was a little slice of heaven! If you are looking for peace, beauty, and still close to town this is perfect! I felt like I could stay there forever!! It was the perfect place to relax after an AT section hike! Highly recommended!!

We had a wonderful trip! Enjoyed the fire pit and beautiful views from the deck. Our first time to the smoky mountains and we were very pleased with the location and ease of getting to the park. Especially enjoyed the quieter side of the park. Host was very responsive to our questions and things we needed help with. We would definitely stay at their properties again. Cozy bed and everything we needed for the week. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Wonderful view! We spent so much time relaxing on the porch and in the hot tub gazing at the Smokies. We also loved the seclusion & privacy - completely away from traffic noise and surrounded by beautiful forest. The house is charming and had everything we needed. Thanks for taking great care of us, Kyle!

Beautiful nature, clean house, hot tub was already warm when we arrived, comfy beds, clean bathrooms, no complains
