Hickory Ridge 3/2 + loft. Mountain & peekaboo lake view-HotTub-NOC-Fontana

A dream come true hideaway on a mountain ridge with peek-a-boo view of Fontana Lake and beautiful mountain ridgeline views. Newly rebuilt and updated inside and out.

Light and bright wood cabin every detail has been thought of for you and your entourage to enjoy a well deserved getaway to the beautiful Smoky Mountains of North Carolina. The cabin sits on a secluded ridge hidden among the trees but within a few minutes to world class fishing, whitewater rafting, canoeing, boating, and the lively vacation town of Bryson City. Do it all or do nothing and just hang out on one of the 3 decks while listening to the sound of silence...or crickets.

The cabin is fully furnished and equipped with everything you and your spouse, your family, or friends need to sleep, cook, make s'mores at the firepit.
You can grill on the national park-style charcoal grill. Please bring your own charcoal because we don't provide it.

On the main level the brand new kitchen has all new stainless steel appliances including a dishwasher. Enjoy the convenience of central heat and air conditioning while hanging out after a day of hiking, biking, horseback riding, or boating. The bedroom on the 1st floor is large with a queen bed and plenty of room for your stuff.

Upstairs you will find 2 bedrooms, a bathroom and a loft. One room has a double bed and twin bed, the 2nd room has a double bed, and the loft has a day bed that doubles as a cozy place to watch a movie with the kids or friends. One bathroom is upstairs and one is downstairs.


Please note that the last 1/4 mile is gravel drive and not recommended for motorcycles or trailers although there is plenty of room to park the trailer if you are accustomed to driving in the mountains.

All consumable products are renters responsibility to bring. There will be a starter amount of paper products/soap for the first day or so. Ingles in Bryson City is where most people do their provisioning.

The lake is at the bottom of the 1/4 mile gravel road, which means this is not waterfront property. The view through the trees is approx 1,000 feet to the lake.

* You can rent boats at Prince Boat Dock, which is about 10 min from the house. Tsali biking/hiking trails and boat ramp (Lemmons Branch) to launch your own boat, jet skis or kayaks is a few miles away too.
Although it is possible to bring a small (less than 21 ft) boat and park it (we have a large parking area), it would not be recommended unless you are used to mountain roads and have 4WD truck/jeep to pull it up the gravel road.

Birthday getaway
We came for a quick getaway for my son’s Birthday. We had a great time. The cabin was clean and had all the necessities needed. We visited Bryson City and the Casino in Cherokee. We had a day of rain but enjoyed hanging out at the cabin relaxing. My son enjoyed the hot tub. I would definitely recommend this cabin!

Cozy cottage in the hills
This cabin was extremely clean and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. It was so relaxing and the porch was a perfect spot to curl up with a cup of coffee and a good book in the morning. My family and I all enjoyed ourselves and would definitely recommend this place.

Great smokies getaway, beautiful house, correct as per online description and other reviews. Great for families, we had parents who could not climb stairs and it worked out real well with just a few steps up and down and the car driving all the way to cabin. Close to lot of activities.

It was a beautiful, clean home with plenty of privacy. We loved the convenient location to the Nantahala River and activities. It was a very easy check in and check out. The house was equipped with all we needed as well. We really enjoyed it and had a great stay! We would definitely do it again.

Rainy days
We enjoyed the house. It is a little bit of a trek to get to it. The rain did dampen our spirits a bit but we found things to do. As I noted to Mngrs, the kitchen sink leaks and I tried to cut off the water at the valves but they do not work properly.

Beautiful scenery! Perfect spot!
My family of 5 stayed here for our spring break. It was the perfect spot. Beautiful home, perfect view. Checking in and out was very easy. Communication was excellent with owner. House was clean. Plenty of cookware, for the nights/mornings you want to cook. We would definitely stay here again. Oh and the drive up to the home isn't as bad as I thought, just a little rough. Just take it easy! Location for our vacay was PERFECT! Went to the wsterfalls, so very beautiful. Visited Cheerokee, was a little disappointed bc the village was closed, only open in the summer. Plenty of shops! Just not what I expected. Our last day we went to The Tunnel To Nowhere, that was pretty cool. And I would definitely recommend checking out Sheffield Mining. The guy that helped us was amazing and the kids absolutely enjoyed that experience. Location 5 ⭐ 's House 5 ⭐ 's
