Trestle Ridge Cabin — Where the Train Crosses the Lake, Fontana Lake Estates, NC

There's a moment every guest talks about: standing on the deck and watching the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad trestle bridge span the lake right below the property — then hearing the train from inside the cabin. Trestle Ridge is the only property in the Watershed portfolio with a front-row seat to that iconic crossing, and it delivers on the promise in every other way too.

Four bedrooms, four bathrooms, sleeping 11 — this is a property built for groups. Two queen bedrooms each have private en suite baths. Two custom bunk rooms share a jack-and-jill bath arrangement, with a kids play loft above. The lower level has an 82" home theater, air hockey table, and pool table. The main level has a gas fireplace, full kitchen with dishwasher, and access to the hot tub deck. The fire pit and gas grill round out the outdoor experience.

Pet-friendly. BalsamWest high-speed WiFi throughout.
