Lake House - NEW Hot tub, fire pit, swim, family and pet friendly!

BRAND NEW HOT TUB! Escape to our family and pet - friendly 2BR/3BA lakeside retreat near Bryson City & Smoky Mountain Nat'l Park! Perfect for 8 guests, enjoy world-class hiking, biking, fishing, and famous motorcycle routes like Tail of the Dragon. Easy access via paved roads, our home offers a hot tub, fire pit, swimming & fishing lake, and a patio above a charming creek. Relax by one of two cozy fireplaces and take in serene lake views. A memorable getaway awaits in this natural paradise!

Reilly's Creek, a delightful lakeside home, offers a spacious and comfortable stay. The first floor features a cozy fireplace, living area, well-equipped kitchen, laundry room, and bathroom. Step out onto the porch to relax above the creek or unwind in the hot tub. Gather around the firepit near the lake for memorable evenings.

We loved Reilly's VRBO. It was great for our family and was centrally located to rafting, the casino, and Bryson City. I enjoyed being able to walk across the street and catch bass!

Wonderful Experience

My family and I had an absolutely wonderful time. Home was just as described. One of the cleanest places we have stayed in. Lots of room for my nephew to play. The owners (Dan and Anna) have truly thought of anything you might need during your stay. In a quiet location, close to all the places we wanted to visit. I would highly recommend this home. We hope to visit the area again and will definitely be looking to stay here.

Stunning mountain/ pond view. Peace & Tranquility!

I have to say… we have stayed in Tennessee, North Carolina & Georgia and Ron’s & Anna’s vacation home is by far one of our best stays. The home is very spacious and well equipped….It even has a quiet retreat in the second floor. Ron & Anna are great Host’s. When we needed something taken care of they where there in an instant. They really wanted us to have a hassle free and enjoyable vacation which we did! Thank you. The Rilley’s home is worth visiting. If you enjoy nature like we do, then you will like this home in Tabacco Ranch neighborhood. Close to lake Fontana, the Smokey Mountains, Bryson City & Cherokee. Lots to do here.

Mountain retreat

This home was accurately described in the listing. It's a very rustic, charming and clean home with a creek running right under the deck!! We could walk right across the street to fish anytime. The lake is beautiful! The neighborhood was nice and quiet, and a great place for walks. Great place to just stay in and relax on the porch or hot tub, but also minutes away from Bryson City for food, shopping and parks. Multiple options for water activity very close by. We would stay here again!

Enjoyable Home

This home was affordable an offered all amenities as listed. It is conveniently located which allows for a short drive to Lake Fontana, Bryson City and Cherokee. The hot tub was in perfect working condition and was a blessing after a long day of adventures. There was one very small issue, but the owners jumped right on it and resolved the issue immediately. Their expedited response was nice to experience knowing that they truly care about their tenants. I recommend this rental without hesitation!

Great Smokey Getaway

The property was exactly how it was listed, if not better. I wanted to take my husband on a quick getaway. He loves fishing and kayaking. I was looking for a place he could do both and this property was perfect. The house had plenty of room and supplied all the necessities. The house was very tidy and the linens were clean. The house was located right across from a small pond. It was big enough for my husband to jump into his kayak and fish, he even caught a few. I got to enjoy the hot tub. The house is in a quite neighborhood and is about 21 minutes from Bryson City. The drive is not bad at all. The owners, Dan and Anna answered all my questions in a timely manner and even gave suggestions on other locations for fishing. My husband found a boat launch a few miles from the property in Fontana Lake. We really enjoyed staying and can't wait to return with our family and friends.

Peaceful

The cabin was comfortable and roomy. With the lake directly across the road fishing was an easy choice. A large screened porch to relax in after using the hot tub, all surrounded by lush vegetation. Couldn't ask for more. I recommend this cabin. Could easily accomodate a much larger group than mine.
