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. To inquire about the lake levels for your desired dates, please check with our reservations team. After labor day, TVA lowers the lake levels until May

Cabin was clean and comfortable. Location was peaceful but close enough to Bryson City that it was easy to get things if you needed to. The description did mention that water accessibility depended on the lake water levels. We had 3 days of rain which would have let us drop in there to paddle but there was a big debris/trash log jam that blocked the access for us. The way the water moves there explains it to a degree, but it seems like it had been there for a long time. A rewrite on the description might be beneficial. But the cabin and hot tub were great.

-the house was nice. Not realizing there was another house right beside us. Now looking back in the photos, i see a slight picture of it. -the house was clean, besides spiderwebs everywhere. Laying on the couch, i had spiders on me. -the back porch hadn't been cleaned in a while. -the water was too low to really enjoy the water/view. -the hottub was fine. -bed was super comfortable. -tv/wifi was barely used due to constantly buffering and going down.

Beautiful property and place, hot tub works great and was very thoroughly cleaned! Easy to drive to in a small car and the views were amazing! Nothing bad about this place to say! I will like to say the cleaning fee verses the actual cleanliness was a little overpriced, as soon as we arrived my husband immediately slipped on the back stairway/stone path between the deck and the hot tub. Not from any rain or weather but The deck is super slick and maybe needs a good pressure washing. I also had to clean out the k cup machine and wash our dishes before using them, which is no big deal considering I do that anyways. But my husbands fall was major & honestly could’ve been prevented. He came home with a softball sized, very nasty bruise to his lower back. He’s okay, he’s tough, but my point is simply for the cleaning fee, I would’ve expected the exterior walkways to have been sprayed off and cleaner. The first night, the chlorine scent was so strong we couldn’t stay in the hot tub long at all but I understand and at least I know it was sanitized lol overall the owners/rental agency were great with communication, no complaints about them at all, also to note nobody was contacted about my husbands fall as there was nothing we could’ve expected from them but I feel as though if we had called they would’ve done anything they could to accommodate. We enjoyed our thanksgiving holiday overall & look forward to visiting again!

We enjoyed our stay. The place was as described unfortunately the lake was low, so we couldn’t enjoy the Dock or swim.
