Serene. Beautiful views. Incredible star gazing. Lazy Elk is 4-5 miles from the nearest through road. The last two miles are on a well maintained gravel driveway. This guarantees privacy and quiet. We spent hours on the deck without hearing a man made sound (except for occasional hot tub and air conditioning). At night we counted satellites and watched shooting stars. Mornings we watched the clouds form and rise right in front of us. At first we had trouble slowing down to natures pace but by the end of our stay we were ready for another week. The dock is fun but it is a steep winding trail to get there. The ATV is a must. The only negative is it does takes a while to get to hiking trails. We hiked Lake Santeela Lake Nantahala and various hikes in the Smokey Mountains and it was always 45-75 minutes. Bryson City is about 45 minutes away.

The view from the deck is absolutely amazing, this is where we spent most of our time. The house was larger than we expected with plenty of room for the 8 of us. We rented the boat for the week, The kids and adults all had a blast tubing and looking at the gorgeous mountain view’s!

Mountain Oasis

We cannot say enough positive words! The location is spectacular with a wonderful view of the lake and the Smoky Mountains. We especially appreciated the use of the ATV to ride to the private dock, which is on a secluded cove. Swimming and kayaking nearly every day were so enjoyable in the pure, clean waters of Fontana Lake. The cabin was very clean and well maintained. We were pleased to see it stocked so well! We had plenty of paper products, kitchen bags, and even shampoo, conditioner and body wash were supplied. They even had beach towels available for lake use and for the hot tub. We forgot to pack coffee filters (the one item) but were pleasantly surprised to find extras in the cabinet. Additionally, more than enough firewood is provided, which we appreciated the night we roasted marshmallows! The grill was immaculate and both dining on the deck and having our morning coffee there was something we relished. Nighttime was perfect for relaxing in the hot tub and enjoying the stars, sounds of nature and incredible views. We were blessed to have communication with our hosts. They were extremely responsive and a pleasure with which to interact. So pleased are we that we wasted no time in booking next summer. We cannot imagine a nicer or more beautiful place to be.
