☆☆ BEDROOMS + BATHROOMS ☆☆

After a day of exploring the Smokies, Fontana Lake, or the Tail of the Dragon, retreat upstairs to two cozy queen sleeping spaces designed with a simple, clean aesthetic that lets the beauty of the mountains take center stage. Both the private bedroom and open loft feature plush queen beds with premium 100% cotton linens and luggage racks for a comfortable, restful stay. Downstairs, the queen sleeper sofa offers additional sleeping space for one adult or two children, making the home ideal for couples, small families, or a weekend getaway with friends. The home also features a full bathroom stocked with plush 100% cotton towels, essential toiletries, and a conveniently located washer and dryer to help you settle in and feel at home.

☆☆ KITCHEN & LOUNGE ☆☆

The open-concept living space is designed for slow mornings and relaxing evenings. Settle into the cozy sitting nook with two swivel chairs to enjoy your morning coffee while taking in the mountain views, then gather around the dining table for four before heading out to explore. The fully stocked kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals during your stay, along with a combination drip coffee maker and K-Cup brewer for an easy start to the day.

After your adventures, unwind on the beautiful leather sleeper sofa and stream your favorite movie on the Smart TV. If you need to mix a little work with your getaway, the bright entry sunroom offers a dedicated workspace with a desk and rolling office chair, giving you a quiet place to catch up before heading back out to enjoy the mountains.

☆☆ OUTSIDE SPACE ☆☆

The outdoor spaces at Fontana Hideout are designed to make the most of the mountain views. With decks on both sides of the home, you'll always find the perfect spot to relax and take in the scenery.

Start your morning at the bar-height table with two Adirondack stools, coffee in hand as the mountains come to life. After a day of hiking, boating, fishing, or exploring the Smokies, fire up the charcoal grill for dinner before slipping into the private hot tub overlooking the view.

As evening settles in, soak under the stars or gather around the Cowboy Cauldron fire pit for a cozy mountain night. Firewood is not provided, so be sure to pick some up on your way in.

☆☆ A FEW THINGS TO KNOW ☆☆

We hope Fontana Hideout feels like your home away from home. To help us keep it that way for every guest, we ask that you keep a few things in mind:

Please keep outdoor noise to a minimum after 10:00 PM.
Dogs are welcome! Just be sure to include them on your reservation so the pet fee can be applied.
The home accommodates up to 5 registered guests.
Please enjoy the hot tub and Cowboy Cauldron responsibly and follow the posted guidelines.
We kindly ask that you leave the home in the same condition you found it.

Please note: As is common in A-frame homes, the stairs leading to the upstairs bedrooms are steeper than standard residential stairs. Guests with limited mobility or young children should keep this in mind when booking.

Thank you for treating our home with care, and we hope your time here is filled with adventure, relaxation, and unforgettable mountain memories!
