Location Location Location!
Located in the quiet Ocona Lake Estates community, just off Highway 19 between Bryson City and Cherokee, the lodge is accessed by a one-lane gravel mountain road with occasional pull-outs for passing. The neighborhood sees very little traffic and the driveway fits 6 cars. In winter months, 4-wheel drive is recommended in case of snow, but not required otherwise. River Access is a 5 minute walk to community access area.
Security: For safety reasons, there is a ring style exterior security camera that is not monitored but records video and sound 24/7. The camera is motion-activated and overlooks the entrance and driveway to the lodge.

10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2026
A great home and a great host! 8 adults stayed and we had plenty of room to spread out or get some quite time. Very clean, well stocked kitchen, extra linens/TP etc. throughout the house, and the labeling/instructions of lots of things is helpful. Primary bed, very comfortable (felt new) and our guests indicated the other beds were also great. Road is curvy, not hard to drive, just go slow. Host is communicative and ensured we had everything we needed. 12 minutes to Harrah's, approx. 1hr to Asheville.Quiet and great view of the river. Absolutely will stay again if we need a large house.
