Home Truths:
- Sleeps in beds: 4 - Max Occupancy: 6
​​​​​​​- Inflatable kayaks are provided as well as a limited selection of life jackets and floats
- Security camera outside front door and at dock
- We do want to let you know that there is lake access year round. However, Lake Fontana is dropped significantly beginning the end of Sept through April. The lowering will take time and water will continue to be under the dock for a period of time, but all based on weather. When the dock is on dry land you can walk down to the water or head over to Princes' Boat dock, just around the corner for lake/boating options in the winter! There is plenty of water in the lake overall and great for fishing in the winter!
- Dock is accessed by a number of wooden stairs descending from the porch. Recently added lighting (floodlights from the house and lanterns along the stairs) eases navigation and can be accessed while ascending or descending.
​​​​​​​- Guests should expect a fireworks show on or around the weekend of July 4th, and other noise associated during boating holidays.
-Boat info: Owner's boat stays there full time. Guest are still welcome to rent one and park on other side of dock. Boat trailer will need to be left at the launch where the boat is put in (Prince Boat Dock) as there is no room for boat trailer parking at the property or trailer turn around.
* Prince Boat Dock- 237 Prince Boat Dock Rd, Almond, NC 28702 (828) 479-3704. (approx 0.5 mile drive from house)
Guests are welcome to keep the boat in front of the home tied up to the dock overnight and throughout their stay, or 'beached' if the water levels are low in the winter time. In case the owner's boat is being docked, there is another available spot (There is a ladder that can be folded up onto the deck which allows another boat to dock).
