Above the Lake

Above the Lake Log Cabin is located on Fontana Lake, in a large, private "Upscale" Subdivision about a 20-minute trip to the back from the Gated Entrance. The Subdivision's Entrance is hidden from The Great Smoky Mountains Expressway (HW 74) which connects it to all the main attractions of the region. The Restaurants, Shops and Deep Creek Entrance to the GSMNP are about a 20-minute trip along HW 74 to Bryson City. The Cherokee Indian Reservation and its many Cultural Exhibits, Shops, Harrah's Casino and Visitors Center Main Entrance of The Great Smoky Mountains National Park are another 15 to 20 minutes past Bryson City. The cabin is several miles from the entrance along a well paved yet very winding scenic mountain road. It is not uncommon for there to be a wild animal or two on the road, mostly flocks of wild turkeys which are slow to move out of a cars way, they almost seem annoyed by the cars interruption of their dinner.
