Almond Joy Near Lake Fontana
Whether you're visiting for lake time, mountain time, or a bit of fishing, Almond Joy is the place to be!
This lovely cabin sits nestled back in the trees, just five minutes from the Almond Boat dock put in on Fontana Lake, so make sure to bring your kayaks, paddle boards, or fishing poles. Take relaxation even a little further with the hot tub, fire pit area, or simply by enjoying your morning coffee on the covered porch, Almond Joy is just the spot you've been looking for.
After a busy day on the lake, enjoy a delicious meal made in the fully equipped kitchen. If you've brought back the catch-of-the-day, fire it up on the gas grill outside. Follow dinner with a cold brew and s'mores by the outdoor fire pit. The living area is extra comfy in the upstairs loft space, with large couches that provide plenty of room to stretch out and relax. For sleeping, the lower level bedroom is equipped with a queen sized bed, flat screen tv with Direct TV service, and ensuite bath with tub/shower combo. The upper level bedroom also features a queen sized bed, flat screen with Direct TV service, and bath with tub/shower combo. For guest convenience, there is a washer and dryer, as well as wireless internet.

Perfect spring break getaway
Absolutely Immaculate, super easy to get to cabin with well marked signs, perfect location between downtown Bryson and NOC. everything we needed for a three night stay. A lot of attention to detail to make things comfortable. Added bonus best little coffee shop down the hill!

Smoky Mountain retreat near the NOC
We really enjoyed our stay! Cabin was clean with all the amenities - nice furnishings, appliances, TVs, and a hot tub, firepit too. You are between a couple other cabins on the road but it felt very secluded, and was easy to find and access. (Driveway seems intimidating but wasn't bad!) Located in between the NOC and Bryson City, we visited both.
