About This Property
There’s a moment — usually somewhere between the hot tub and the horizon — when the mountains stop being scenery and start feeling like home. That’s the experience Fontana Grace is built around.
This brand-new four-bedroom, three-bath cabin sits high above Lake Fontana with unobstructed views of the water and the Great Smoky Mountains beyond. The interiors are clean and contemporary without sacrificing warmth: premium appliances anchor a kitchen designed for real cooking, open living areas invite everyone together, and every window is placed to remind you exactly where you are.
Outside, the property earns its keep. Multiple decks give you options — morning coffee in the sun, dinner in the shade, stargazing from the hot tub after dark. On rainy days or evenings in, head downstairs to the lower-level rec room, where a large-screen home theater with surround sound and a foosball table make for the perfect retreat. When you’re ready to explore, a private neighborhood trail leads through hardwood forest to a waterfall roughly three-quarters of a mile in. Prefer the water? A private boat dock with a sun deck and kayak access is available to guests just a half mile from the cabin.
Fontana Grace sits at a remarkable crossroads of adventure: two miles from the Appalachian Trail, minutes from the Nantahala River and NOC, and close to some of the most rewarding mountain biking and waterfall hikes in the Southeast.
Four bedrooms. Three baths. A new hot tub, a private trail, lake access, and views that don’t quit. This is what it means to do the mountains right.
