Lakefront 3-bedroom cabin on Fontana Lake with stunning views and a private dock

10/10 Excellent
"This makes our 3rd year in a row visiting the Lazy Elk, and we look forward to returning next year, and hopefully each year, Good Lord willing. We absolutely love it here and cannot imagine there could be a more beautiful or relaxing place to be. The hosts are wonderful and provide a marvelous place for the perfect getaway— hot tub, ATV, private dock, and a clean and well appointed cabin. The views are God’s handiwork!! And they are phenomenal!! Our only complaint is that time seems to go much too fast when we’re here!! We never are ready to leave."
