Boat-in

This Hipcamp is accessible by boat.

This new super-cool floating cabin on Fontana Lake NC offers all of the modern day conveniences in a unique off-grid setting. Accessible by boat only, the Fontana Firefly is located on the outskirts of Bryson City North Carolina. The cabin is best suited for a couple or small family. Consisting of approximately 400 square feet of interior space, the cabin has one bedroom and one sleeping loft each outfitted with a queen bed. The cabin has a full-size bath and kitchen equipped with a refrigerator, stove, oven and microwave. There is plenty of dock and deck space for spending time outside relaxing, fishing and sunbathing. Of course If you must stay connected to the outside world, Elon’s internet is also provided. MUST READ IMPORTANT INFORMATION 1. This is an ‘off-grid’ cabin best suitable for those who understand the potential challenges and issues that can occur when camping without city provided electric power, water and sewer! The cabin is powered by a robust 4.5kw solar system. However, in cases of high energy consumption coupled with multiple cloudy days the battery storage system can become depleted. There is a ‘gas tank’ gauge on the back wall that indicates the amount of power/charge remaining in the batteries. If and when this gauge reads 15%, the system is effectively out of power and the sun will need to recharge the batteries. Water for the cabin comes directly from the lake and is filtered through both a carbon sediment as well as a UV filter. Waste water is collected in holding tanks beneath the floor. If too much water is used and the tanks fill completely you will be out of water. The moral of the story is that moderate consumption is the best practice. If you leave the water running or all appliances on for an unreasonable amount of time you will not have a pleasant stay. 2. The cabin is accessed by boat only. If you bring your own boat there are a number of launches that can be used to access the cabin. Depending on the time of year Alarka Marina, Lemmons Boat Ramp and Tsali Rec area are the closest and with a paddle craft can reach the cabin in 15-45 minutes. 3. Because the cabin floats, the wake created from boats and high winds can be felt strongly at times. If you are prone to any motion sickness, the Fontana Firefly is not for you unfortunately. 4. The cabin has an elevated second story deck. Climbing on and/or jumping from this deck into the lake below is strictly forbidden. The lake can have submerged trees that can not be seen with the naked eye making this behavior extremely hazardous. 5. Swimming under the cabin and docks is strictly forbidden and also extremely hazardous. 6. The cabin has two Ring Cameras at each doorway facing outward. The alerts are turned off once a guest successfully checks-in and will not be monitored. Additionally, there may be exterior cameras not directed at any living area but on the cabin structure and systems themselves such as the flotation, solar array, etc.The Fontana Firefly is a unique 'off-grid' floating cabin that is accessed by boat containing all of the modern conveniences of everyday life.
