Prepare for a secluded retreat, where quiet is part of the bargain! This home was once owned by a Swiss German yodeler, who found that their yodel could echo up to five times due to the area's quietness. That's the kind of quiet you can expect! Take the adjacent, unpaved path, and head out for some lake fun, only 500 steps away.

There's plenty to do in this cabin-inspired home with a limited view of the lake and a beautiful view of the forest (especially from the living room's wall of windows). Enjoy a game of air hockey or oversized Connect Four in the game room. Stoke up a fire outside in the private firepit and spend a great time outdoors. If you're leaning toward cooking inside, the full kitchen boasts a dishwasher, a wine fridge, a French door refrigerator, a breakfast bar, and a double oven to help feed everyone on your crew. After dinner, enjoy a DVD from the library or stream from your favorite service. Central air-conditioning will keep everyone comfortable inside, and there's room for everyone around the electric fireplace at this home. Pontoon rentals are available at Prince Boat Dock (nine miles), Fontana Village Resort Marina (14 miles), and Almond Boat Dock (14 miles).

Nice place but beware of the last mile

This property was large enough that our multigenerational group of 8 had plenty of room to spread out when needed. Our group loved the fire pit as well as the air hockey table. The walk to the dock is fairly long and does include lots of steps, which we didn’t realize when we brought our kayaks. We ended up driving to a launch site which was way easier. What we didn’t realize was the last mile to get to the house is a single lane gravel road, full of twists and turns and ending with a very steep driveway. A low sitting car would have some trouble, make sure you are in an SUV or a higher sitting car.

House Great; Lake Access Nonexistent

The house is great, though quite remote on a windy, dirt road so keep that in mind. It was extremely clean, spacious and the kitchen was very well equipped with dishware and cookware. While we were not performing remote work, we did use the internet a lot and it worked great so no issues there. The big issue was the purported lake access which was the main criteria in renting this house as my husband and my nephew love to fish. We searched for it for two days and repeatedly asked for explicit directions from the management company. Finally on the afternoon before we left we received a map which was not helpful either. I happened to run across another homeowner as I was searching yet one more time the evening before we departed and he said he had allowed access across his property in the past. However, there was a closed gate in place and the area down to the lake was very overgrown and there is absolutely NO SIGNAGE indicating lake access to Five Echoes guests. If lake access is important to you, this is not the right place. If a clean, comfortable home in a beautiful location is what you want, this is a good choice. Great place for a large group.

Amazing property nestled in the mountains near Fontana

2 gorgeous master bedrooms, amazing Jacuzzi tub in one. Plenty of room upstairs as well. It's close to the lake and the access is a short 10 min walk. Things are a bit steep, the driveway and steps to the lake (they are a short walk down the street)

Dissatisfied

Friend and family and I booked this cabin months prior and under the listing they said they had wifi which was very important as I magage a home improvement company and had to work during the stay remotely. Once we arrived we saw a note dated for July 2nd 4 days before our arrival that said sorry for the inconvenience but the wifi is out do to a router issue. My issue is they had 4 days to notify me so I could make arrangements for a different place so I could accomplish my work. I lost 2 full days of work. There was zero service at cabin so in order to report the issue I needed to drive 20 minutes to get service and even then could not get the problem resolved. This also made planning very difficult. I have asked more then once for a partial refund due to lost work and inconvenience and haven't gotten a single response and its been 2 weeks so now Im writing this.

Spacious and Secluded

This house was beautiful! So spacious, clean and well stocked in the kitchen and bathrooms. My kids had a great time in the game room and enjoyed the bunk bed room. As others have said, the drive to the house is a bit nerve wracking so we avoided going out at night. The deck and firepit area was nice, but all the lighters were left outside in the rain and the firewood was wet so starting a fire was difficult. The kitchen has everything you need, but shopping is ~30 minutes away and the roads were under construction. Wifi was terrible..worked in the mornings thrn tapered off and there’s no cell service. Great for an unplugged trip, not great for trying to plan/research any part of your trip. Overall good house for a quick trip away.

Horrible experience

If you don’t need assistance, then you might be fine at this location but if you find yourself having to contact the property management, they are not going to do anything to help you. We were staying over Christmas weekend and the power went out at 4 AM the morning after we arrived in 4° weather with two elderly family members. And they absolutely refused to have a manager contact me, or do anything whatsoever to help us and they continue to be rude and difficult throughout the process of trying to figure out what I paid for versus what we got.

Mountain stay

Cabin was great and the owners went above and beyond to stock with essential items needed for cooking. Nice touch with air hockey table. My rating of four stars only is connectivity. Internet is non existent at best. One television didn't work, another had a remote that was not for the TV and no channel availability on the others. Stay was great just understand no tv and connectivity to the rest of the world.

Peaceful and Quiet

Very nice, comfortable home. We really liked that it has 2 bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms on the main level and allows pets - perfect for our family! O, and getting there is half the fun, lol! The property is in a remote area that involves traveling on a one lane dirt road in the mountains... Make sure you arrive during daylight hours! Cell service is non-existent and the satellite internet is intermittent, which means that the TV is also intermittent. We just decided not to bother with electronics and had a great time playing air hockey, board games and roasting s'mores on the fire pit. It was quality family time in a peaceful, quiet place surrounded by mountains and a view of the lake. A great place to just say "ahhh".

Great Stay in the Woods

The property is in great shape. Most of it has been recently renovated. The cabin is spacious, appliances are new, and the location is secluded and quiet. It was easy to reach the National Park, Fontana Lake, and Nantahala Outdoor Center. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We gave this property 4/5 stars because there were a few things that needed fixing or should be in the details. The internet is satellite which worked okay, but if you are planning to work while you're away, this might not be possible here. All the other things were minor and we've sent information to Vacasa for them to fix.
