Nestled among the treetops along beautiful Fontana Lake, this dreamy resort offers a unique chance to immerse yourself in nature with fabulous accommodations and the ever-popular Treetop Soaking Cabanas.
The rooms and suites at Lakeview offer an open, spacious place to rest amongst the natural backdrop of the Great Smoky Mountains, with one, two, and three-bedroom properties available to rent.
