Forest Lake Escape Bryson City

Tucked away in the forest, but just moments from Fontana Lake, Forest Lake Cabin is just the spot for your Bryson City vacation.  Make sure to pack your fishing poles, kayaks, or paddle boards as this large log cabin is within a mile from the Almond Boat Dock, what a great place to make many summer time mountain memories.

Forest Lake Cabin is a three bedroom, three bath cabin that sleeps up to eight guests.  This spacious cabin has plenty of room where you can travel together, yet not feel right on top of one another..  The large covered porches allow for a peaceful spot to take your morning coffee while listening to the leaves rustle on the trees.  If you're looking to unwind after a long day of adventuring, take a dip in the hot tub, or relax around the firepit.  Indoors, the living room is large with vaulted ceilings, rocked gas log fireplace, flatscreen with satellite service, and comfortable furnishings.  The kitchen is fully stocked and ready to make a meal right at the cabin.  There is a bedroom on the main floor, which features a queen sized bed, tv, and storage space.  The bath on the main floor has a walk-in shower.  Upstairs you will find additional living space with a game room space in the open loft.  For guest enjoyment, there is an air hockey table, foosball table, TV, workspace, additional seating, and for convenience a bath with tub/shower combo.  Downstairs you'll find the additional sleep quarters with two bedrooms.  One is equipped with a queen sized bed with TV, the other has a queen bed, bunk bed, and tv.  There is also a bath on this level with walk in shower and washer/dryer.  

Forest Lake is conveniently located just off of Almond Boat Dock Road, which is about 10 minutes west of Bryson City.  It's the perfect spot if you'd like to go kayaking, paddleboarding, canoeing, swimming, or mountain biking, as Fontana Lake access and Tsali Biking Trails are just around the corner.  It is also located closely to the Nanatahala River Gorge where you can find whitewater kayaking, ziplining, and horseback riding.  Downtown Bryson City is just a 10 minute drive, where you will find the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad, Deep Creek access to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, and many local shops, restaurants, and breweries.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned cabin, which features a fireplace. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.

The place was exactly what we wanted. Plenty of room for everyone to have their space. Only recommendation is to upgrade their bath towels. They are small and not very soft. Other than that it was perfect.

Cabin in the Woods

Centrally located between Nantahala Outdoor Center and Fontana Lake, so plenty to do without driving far. Easy to get to, no long winding road up a mountain like some cabins. Comfortable beds/pillows. Hot tub was clean and worked well.

Lil' Cabin in the woods

Very nice cabin. Located in the countryside, it was very quiet and relaxing. The air hockey and foosball was a hit with the kids. Hot tub was great except the lights did not work. Plenty of parking. Fire pit was well kept.

Very clean place

Overall this home was very nice - the parking lot was a bit muddy but I think it's because they have a downspout that diverts all the rain water to that area. If it were buried it would have helped the wet parking lot. The beds were small - but overall we enjoyed our stay - it was close to downtown (great food options) we went to Nantahala tubing and it was pretty close to that!! Loved the TV's in all the rooms. internet was good. they had a fully stocked kitchen and that was nice as well. Great home and HOT TUB was clean and AWESOME!!!!! Those seem to be hit or miss but this one was a hit!! Good walking trails too!
