Waterfront vacation rentals in Fontana Lake

This place is worth 1,000 stars. Beautifully decorated. The beds were super comfy. Great location behind the Dolly Stampede. We had balconies off the living room and one of the bedrooms that overlooked a stream. We had 3 bedrooms & 3 baths. Each room was very private. One of the rooms had a hot tube jacuzzi. The kitchen was very well stocked with anything you needed to help you cook. New pots & Pans. There was even ice in the freezer. Two comfy recliners. This was absolutely the nicest air bnb I’ve ever rented. Can’t wait to go back.

Excellent stay for the price. Lovely spot right on the river that was so peaceful I fell asleep in one of the adironack chairs for over an hour without even meaning to. Accomodation was more than adequate; very comfortable bed. Would be a great HQ for a Smoky Mountain adventure.

I took my family to stay in the farmhouse the week of Christmas. The house was very clean and matched the description given. The heater in the pool was out but the hot tub worked. When I had an issue and reached out, it was resolved quickly. It is within walking distance of many things to do. We enjoyed the breakfast vouchers and drinks in the lobby. We also joined in the sing along and s’mores and loved it!

We loved our stay at Myriah's cozy little condo on the river. Being able to sit on the balcony in the mornings with our coffe and watch all the wildlife like geese, herons, ducks, and even a beaver made for a great start to our day. The location was great, off the parkway, but still close to shopping, dining, and entertainment. We would definitely stay again. Myriah was easy to communicate with and was very hospitable.

The most peaceful stay I’ve had yet. Very beautiful and serene. House was very clean and as described. I could hear the creak from indoors which amplified my experience. I would definitely recommend bringing some bug repellent but that’s to be expected considering the location. Host was great and very quick with responding which I was very appreciative of. 10/10 recommend! Will be booking again in the future.

My husband and I were so happy with our stay at Judy and Maria’s tranquil home. Everything from the creek to the hot tub and relaxing living space were perfect. My husband enjoyed fishing in such a great spot, and I enjoyed watching the ducks with their little ducklings, and the hummingbirds that visited often. 😊 We spent plenty of time relaxing, but also enjoyed the close proximity to good restaurants and shopping, and hiking. Casa Paz is in such a convenient and beautiful location. For good food we recommend Chef’s Table and Haywood Smokehouse in Waynesville, and Twisted Spoke in Maggie Valley. The place was very easy to find and Judy and Maria were very responsive with any question we had while we were there. Highly recommend a stay here!!

We really loved Ashley’s place, comfy beds, my wife get in love with the comforter, really nice bathroom… close to the town, we don’t walk bc that they rain a lot… overall everything was perfecto thank you!!

Cute little place next to everything in Pigeon Forge. Short drive to Dollywood as well. Very nice host and fast to respond to inquires. We will definitely be back! Thank you Romil!

This was such a sweet stay and we wish we could have stayed longer! Beautiful location - my husband enjoyed fly fishing during the day on the water and I was only 20 minutes from kayaking at the NOC. The house was very clean - tidy bathroom and kitchen with all your basics stocked to get you started. Hot tub was lovely and very clean! There is a steeper drop off next to the outside firepit so I would be mindful with little children. Easy check in and they were very flexible and responsive when we had some crazy weather pop up nearby. We will be back again and hopefully stay a little longer!

The perfect place to recharge and relax! Beautiful and cozy home with everything you need! So many special touches that we greatly appreciated. We enjoyed the back patio and also making cozy fires in the evenings! We want to come back and stay longer next time!

The lake house was even better than the pictures. The property grounds were beautiful and an easy walk down to the dock. Our kids had the best time swimming from the dock and kayaking in the cove. We brought our boat and I really appreciated the nice fendering on the dock. We would love to stay at Phillips house again in the future.

Absolutely beautiful place, Frank was very accommodating and helpful with all our needs! Couldn’t have chose a better place to stay!

We enjoyed a relaxing 3 night stay in Bobby and Dina’s beautiful, river house and they were the perfect hosts! They were very responsive to questions and even offered area suggestions including a wonderful local butcher, for our BBQ night on the deck, listening to the peaceful sounds of the river. This home had everything we needed to prepare meals, very clean and tastefully decorated. We highly recommend this home for your trip to the Murphy area and would love to return when we have more time to fish & kayak!

What a wonderful visit. We had family from HI, FL, and SD gather to celebrate a graduation from WCU. The cottage was lovely. It was clean and perfect for a large family. The setting was so peaceful. We saw a bald eagle on the river as we sat on the deck! I would highly recommend this hidden jewel. If only, we had visited sooner and spent more time. It is definitely worth a second trip.

We loved our stay at the creekside cabin! The proximity to the Oconaluftee Visitors Center (just over 30 min) was perfect for our explorations in GSMNP. The house is also very close to a Publix and Ingles for groceries, and local spots for gas, food, and necessities. Our days and evenings were spent in the NP, but we made sure to spend one evening on the porch alongside the creek - and it was bliss! The space accommodated us, our toddler, and our pup. It rained hard a couple evenings, so it was very handy to have TV streaming options available. The kitchen is well stocked with appliances and tools, allowing us to easily make breakfast and dinners. Hand washing the dishes is no problem for us. :) We hope to stay here again so we can explore more of the NP and Maggie Valley’s surrounding area! Highly recommend!

Beautiful house on the river and close to town. There was plenty of space, and we especially loved the relaxing porch.

What a wonderful condo and perfect location! We absolutely loved the charm and amount of space in this condo, and the convenience couldn’t be better—just a quick 3–4 minute walk to downtown Gatlinburg, yet peaceful and quiet at night. One of our favorite things was relaxing on the wraparound deck with a cup of coffee from the fully stocked coffee bar, while listening to the soothing sounds of the river flowing nearby. The beds were comfortable, and the linens were clean and fresh, making for a restful stay. Fun tip: If you turn right out of the parking lot and take a drive behind the river through the mountain neighborhoods, keep your eyes open—we spotted five bears in under an hour! Thanks so much for a great stay! We highly recommend!

We had a great stay at Chuck’s place. It was exactly as described and it was so nice to hear the river that’s literally out the door! Location was perfect as it was right in the center of town and we were able to walk to all the shops and restaurants. Just a few minutes drive from Great Smoky Mountains NP. The only negative thing I can say is that the bathroom and towels had a bit of a musty smell to them. Overall would recommend!

The condo was absolutely perfect. It looked just like the pictures. It was very clean. We really enjoyed our stay and will stay again.

Thank you, beautiful place and very clean!

We enjoyed our stay in this property. We literally had everything we needed and the location was perfect (within 4 miles of all the spots we visited). We were allowed to check in early and responded to every message within minutes. I genuinely enjoyed my stay and will book again if we ever visit the area again.

We sat on the balcony every morning and enjoyed the beautiful peaceful river view. Very comfortable and clean home with everything you need. Jackie was very helpful and accessible. Convenient location. Definitely recommend this condo.

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 could not have been happier with our stay in Sapphire, NC! We had never been before and when looking for places to stay, the Patrick’s condo stuck out to us, not just in value, but in location and accommodation! The resort we were able to enjoy made the pricing well worth it. Absolutely loved the views, scenic surroundings, and peaceful atmosphere. We will be back!
