About this property
Mountain Cottage w/ Views Near Tail of the Dragon!
Escape to the Great Smoky Mountains with a trip to this charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath vacation rental in Fontana Dam. Spend mornings sitting on the cottage's large deck to take in the mountain views, sit around the fire pit, or make a splash in the community outdoor pool. The famed Tail of the Dragon road sits near the cottage where you can drive the 11 miles of twists and turns through the mountains or take a day trip to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg to find thrills at Dollywood and Anakeesta!
