About this house rental

Kingfisher's Roost is a luxury lakefront two-bedroom nestled at the mouth of Lake Fontana. In the Summer, you will find a calm oasis just outside your door, and after Labor Day, the lower waterline transforms the property into a riverfront home where you can witness the changing ecosystem. No matter what time of year you're vacationing, you will love the beautifully manicured path to the water and the natural stone seating, perfect for casting a line! Enjoy the hot tub or sit by the fire pit while you observe wildlife, or take advantage of the private dock and your own personal gravel put-in, right beside the home. Bring your own boat, or rent one from Alarka Marina, about a mile away.

Perfect for a small family, or couples' retreat, Kingfisher's Roost is furnished with two King Bedrooms, offering maximum comfort and privacy. With views of the water from nearly every window in the house, there's no better way to relax! The open-concept layout of the kitchen, dining and living room makes a perfect atmosphere for sharing family time and recounting the day's adventures.

When you're ready to venture out you can enjoy dining, hiking, and shopping in Bryson City, only about a ten-minute drive. You can also hop on the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad from Bryson City to Dillsboro and enjoy sightseeing through the mountains. Venture to Cherokee for a historical tour or visit Harrah's Casino for games and entertainment. If you fancy a trip to Sylva, about a 30-minute drive, be sure to ask us about exclusive spa and dining discounts with our partners at Fusions Spa and Foragers Canteen! Are you ready for the real mountain experience? We can't wait to have you!

**Lake levels fluctuate throughout the year. Even with lowered lake levels, fishing is not compromised and public access ramps are open all year, however, direct access from this property may be minimal during these months.

Property need some upgrading. Near fire pit was falling in. We could not get our boat across the narrow bridge coming into the property. The owner told us it would be no problem using their ramp but not being able to get to the property with the boat did not help at all. We were from Friday night until Tuesday without internet. No fault of the owner but still in a bad place for an emergency. The house was prettty nice, clean, everything worked. Trash was a bit complicated for staying an entire week. Perhaps a bin of somesort to place trash in, of course bear proof. The owners did communicate very well with us. It was a good time with family. Thank Goodness for Matt and staff, at Larka Marina. They were very helpful to us. We were able to get our boat up to the owners dock which was very helpful on our 4 trips down to the Lake.

We stayed here as we wanted a quite cabin on the water and near kake Fontana. We had two wonderful meals, great quite eveningsbsitting on the deck in the latebevening and the woods came alive with Frogs and crickets. We could hardly hear each other talk. We rented a nice pontoon boat from the Alarka Marina just an 1/8th of a mile away and crusied the lake for 8 hrs. Amazing. The staff was great. Very enjoyable!

We had an excellent week at Kingfishers Roost. The rental was outstanding and had everything we needed. The location was the perfect balance of seclusion with a quick drive into Bryson City. The river was beautiful!

6.0 / 10.0

House was clean, comfortable, with basic supplies, wifi/tv worked well, hot tub was clean and well maintained, House not on lake but on a creek that feeds the lake, water had been let down so basically a mud hole remained, could not use the dock sitting since on the ground, no swimming or fishing since the lake was gone well before they said it would be lowered, should have booked a house on the main body of the lake, would not recommen or return

This property was very nice. The lake property was a very calm relaxing place . The lake was great for the kids to swim the hot tub was lovely and the fire pit was nice.

The cabin was absolutely perfect for our family! The location was amazing, and the cabin and grounds were beautiful! May need to add some more daily essentials in the kitchen such as pans, coasters, etc. We had a great time and would definitely stay at this cabin again.

10.0 / 10.0

Location was perfect, and secluded. Enjoyed the peace of the woods and lake. Did some whitewater as well as tubing. Perfect location and center to get out and do everything the mountains has to offer.

10.0 / 10.0

Our stay was amazing. The house is the last one on a quiet gravel road so it was quiet and felt private even with the road across the lake. The view from the house never got old and we didn't want to leave. One word of warning to future renters with boats: The "boat ramp" is for kayaks only. The listing is disingenous at best when they advertise a boat ramp. We went at full pool and the bottom of the ramp is too shallow to launch a boat. I also wouldnt take anything larger than 18' because you wont be able to turn around your trailer and you dont want to have to back your rig up that narrow road. You can launch at Alarka for free but they do not have trailer parking.

We enjoyed our stay with swimming, fishing and kayaking. The hot tub was great at end of day! The driveway was a little rough but overall property was clean and well maintained. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks for a great week ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We really hated to leave Kingfisher's Roost. The cabin with the stream running by was as perfect as you can get. Peaceful, serene but close to activities. Clean, beautiful view and decor. I loved the artwork. The deck at night with lights was magical! We can't wait to come back!!

The view from the deck and the sounds of the river were exactly what we needed ti relax & unwind.

8.0 / 10.0

Overall, home was nice and convenient to the parks. Was a little weird that the up stairs bathroom had miniblinds, but the downstairs had no covering. Also no coverings on any of the windows face the neighbors building so they could see right in. Found out about the lake draining after booking, but really liked the river (would recommend adding that to the description of the property). Overall a good place we would consider again if back in the area. Just felt like the fees were high for what you got especially due to the requests for doing precleaning before checkout (which many of these type rentals are getting that way).

My husband and I celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary this year. He had a major health event this past summer so we wanted a place that we could relax and just enjoy each other's company. This home was absolutely perfect. The outdoor landscaping at this property is the star of the show. There are walkways, a stone bench, and a fire pit. Lake Fontana is drained at the end of summer. What is left behind is Alarka Creek with its rushing water sounds. We thought we would go into town more often but we found ourselves drawn to spending time by the fire pit or in the hot tub. Make sure you have the directions to the property on paper. We arrived after dark and it was a little tricky finding the drive (which is actually a bridge over the creek). The roadway to the home has very narrow bridges, and a one lane underpass. We live in very flat Eastern NC so this added to the adventure for us.

100% awesome rental!!! Very nice,clean and scenic. Driveway could be a little sketchy depending on the weather but nothing horrible at all.

Had a nice long weekend at this property. House was clean and comfortable. Wifi was not very reliable but sometimes I expect that in the mountains. We enjoyed swimming and the wildlife we spotted. Firepit, outdoor lighting and outdoor speakers made evenings very nice Hot tub was damaged but property managers were very gracious about it. Now if they could only get the fish in the lake to be cooperative everything would be perfect.

The house is very lovely and clean. The view is beautiful. Everything needed for a short stay was provided -- except firewood. No complications whatsoever. The only negative was the smell of the water that is within the house. It smells strongly of sulfur. We thought it would go away after the water has been run through the pipes. It did not.

We had a good week. The house is in a nice location. It’s fairly quiet with only a little street noise. We’d go again sometime!

The house is everything that is listed. We had a fabulous time. I highly recommend renting a slingshot for the day it was so much fun. If you want to fish… The marina is 5 minutes down the road and we did rent a boat but I think money would be better spent on a guided fishing trip.

This cabin in the mountains is a nice get away. We stayed for our 25 Anniversary. It was relaxing. The lake was just coming up from the winter draw down, so had a log jam below the house. There is a road directly across the cove from the house and at night the headlights shine into the cabin, but the road is not very busy. The road to the cabin is very steep, but well taken care of. No cell service at the house, but internet. Saying all that, we really enjoyed our stay and would stay again if we are in the area.

Relaxing weekend with lots to do. Be mindful of the low water levels in the spring. They start releasing water from the damn in mid-May. Otherwise, a great place!

10.0 / 10.0

The property is well kept. The exterior landscaping was very well thought out and absolutely beautiful. The water was lower when we went but it was still absolutely beautiful. My suggestion would be to add lights around the jacuzzi. It's really dark over there in the evening! The firepit is very nice but some of the chairs are dry rotted. The beds were really comfy and the view from the upstairs loft was breath taking! We REALLY enjoyed our stay here and would absolutely stay again!

My wife and I decided to do something different this year and get away for Thanksgiving. Found this cabin online and really like the idea of the fire pit near the water. This was not the most inexpensive option available but was definitely enjoyable and very well appointed.

10.0 / 10.0

Cabin is beautiful and clean. Location is great. Our only complaint was that the description said that the water levels would drop AFTER Labor Day and they were already down when we arrived the week before. I don’t believe that is fault of the property owner or VRBO, it’s TVA’s deal, but I really wish I had been notified when they were dropped 3 weeks prior.

We stayed from Tuesday to Saturday. We did enjoy our stay and would book again, however we would be more prepared next time. We had no problem with the directions using Apple Maps and the property directions. Again, there is no cell service but Wi-Fi was excellent when we did use it. The drive way is very steep, and you cannot see at the top. There should be a mirror of some sort to help with that. You wouldn’t know if another car is coming once you hit the peak of the driveway. The neighbor’s dog used the bathroom all in our parking pad, so that sucked. There were several people fishing and using the boat ramp during the week. No problem if it’s the community boat dock, but at least hang some type of curtains or blinds to give the privacy feeling. Getting out of the shower was a trick, because the neighbors could see us once you hit a certain spot. The feeling of privacy was not there. However communication with the property managers and checkin was super easy! The overall scene was great. We fished, not much in the lake and def. Not much was biting, used the hot tub, and enjoyed our stay other than the constant seeing people walk in front of the house.
