Almond House | Lake View of Fontana Lake close to Great Smoky Mountains and Tail of the Dragon

2 Bedroom House in Almond

Prepare for a relaxing retreat where neighbors are not close and quiet is part of the attraction. This house is a fantastic space for families and friends. Close to many adventure related activities including hiking, biking, boating, motorcycling, and much much more. Freshly uplifted with fresh paint, decor, and furnishing. Perfect for a relaxing stay in the mountains or a perfect location as a base for exploration.
Enjoy a game of pool in our game room or a relaxing place to read on one of our porch swings. We have a handful of family board and card games. This house has three levels of decks and surrounded by trees, you will feel like you are the only one in the forest. There are limited views of the lake.
Location is key with this house and you are close to Lake Fontana, Bryson City, the Great Smoky Mountains, the Nantahala Gorge, Cherokee, and the Tail of the Dragon.
Things to Know
*Internet is available but can be spotty during bad weather, this is rare but can happen. We hope, if this happens, this is not an inconvenience but instead a perfect opportunity to have some quality time disconnected by playing games or connecting with the people and nature around you.
The basement, game room, is not controlled by HVAC and can be cold in colder months and warm in warmer months.
The third sleeping area is in a loft area with no walls to the lower level. This room has 2 beds, a couch, and private deck with great views out the windows.
Full Kitchen: We have had no issues cooking a Thanksgiving dinner here for a family of 8.
There is only 1 smart TV in the living room and it includes Netflix and Disney+ (Smart TV also means this does not work if internet is bad, feel free to bring a USB loaded device with your personal movies)
This house has three levels and therefore a lot of stairs and a lot of deck space (Approximately 1500 sqft of deck)
Parking: The parking space is small and tricky. We have had no issues with 2 vehicles but more than that and it requires you to, most likely, back down the long drive way. There is no way to turn a trailer around and should not be attempted. If you do bring a trailer you can inquire with one of the boat docks to see rules related to launching boats and parking trailers. I have seen trailers and trucks parked at the boat dock parking and at a number of places along the road, especially near the cemetery, but this is out of our control.
Pets: We are sorry but pets are not allowed at this property, service or other. A member of our family is severely allergic to pets and we prefer to not have this complication in our life when we enjoy the property.
Pontoon rentals available at Prince Boat Dock (1/4 mile), Fontana Village Resort Marina (17 miles), Almond Boat Dock (7 miles). These book fast and should be planned in advance.
*A security camera is installed at the front entry facing the driveway. This is a Ring Camera system and is motion activated. This does not view any personal space in the house or on the deck and is for the security of the house and the guests.

Summary: This cabin was exactly what I had hoped for when I booked it. My goal for our New Years Week trip was to find a home in the Smokey mountains with good views, less noise, and amenities that would make “staying home” more palatable for my 3 kids and wife. After a week stay, I can say this home was exactly that.The home allowed me plenty of space for groceries and cooking, a couple game nights with the family, the pool table (and sticks) was legit with a standard 8 ball triangle and 9 ball rack, and my personal favorite was a soak in the hot tub in the cold winter nights. Chefs kiss.This home had us in the middle of a triangle of the things to do in this area. The Nantahala Outdoor Center is 20 min south, the Fontana Lake Dam and Village is about 30 min West, and Gatlinburg is about 90 min North (the drive through the Smokey’s to Gatlinburg is the real destination). This was our first time visiting this area and we have already made plans to visit again in the summer time so we can experience Fontana Lake.The host was excellent to deal with as well. Easy communication and straight forward check-in and check-out instructions. Overall, we were very pleased with everything this location and home had to offer and we will definitely be seeking to return the next time we visit Lake Fontana / The Smokey Mountains.
