Tipsy Bear is Tops
The cabin was very rustic in design and tastefully decorated with interesting wildlife accessories throughout! It was very comfortable and roomy for our family of 10 adults. The deck had plenty of chairs and rockers for us to enjoy the beautiful view of Fontana Lake and mountains. The big surprise was the 3 mile curvy road,with no guardrails, up the mountain to the cabin, once we entered the privacy gate!! We had a wonderful stay and made so many fond memories!

Words are not enough!!!!
Words are simply not enough to describe this place. Heck, even pictures are not enough. The only way to understand how amazing this house is to stay in it. Morning coffee on the patio was my favorite part. This VRBO listing far exceeded my expectation.
