Cabin Holiday Stay
The property is exactly as pictured. The water acce. There ate 2 dogs on a near by property that are litter mates and play but they are trained for an invisible fence and were no worry when we walked our dog past. I wish we could have enjoyed the outside more but were were there for Thanksgiving and the weather was cold. The cabin stays toasty warm. This shouldn't even be called a cabin, it was gorgeous!ss would be wonderful in warmer months.

Great lakefront property. Spent tons of time on the screened in porch and by the firepit at night. Internet worked great for two remote workers.

Highly recommended exceptional location with amazing hosts
We stayed for five days at this wonderful place. It’s an easy walk down to the dock for fishing and kayaking, offering a quiet and private woodsy feel. The hosts were exceptional, and nearby, there are cute little towns and a charming, homey general store. We will definitely be coming back! The hosts were amazing and super accommodating. Highly recommend for any future visits.

Probably our favorite place ever
We came up Friday and stayed the whole weekend. Once we got there Friday afternoon, there was so much to do, that we literally never left again until Sunday at check out! We fished, kayaked, swam, grilled out, made s’mores in their rock fire pit, played board games they provided, and at night, we played hide and seek in dark. And they even allowed us to bring our furry family member, which really sold us on this place. We would absolutely stay here again and again! We’re only 2 hours away so we will definitely be back! Thank you for being apart of the memories we’re making with our kiddos.

Short stay
The house was nice but the neighbors dogs ruined the experience. We couldn’t go outside without it sounding like there was about to be a blood bath. My dogs were terrified to even go outside to use the bathroom. I had to risk getting snake bit and walking them in the tall weeds behind the house in an attempt to get them to use the bathroom. I definitely wouldn’t recommend this house based on this.

This was a great property with everything we could need. The hosts provided plenty of towels, which was important with how close the lake is! There were a lot of spiders, but they seemed friendly.

Perfect Cabin Get-Away
Beautiful and comfortable cabin with many amenities on a lovely, quiet cove of Watts Bar lake. The screened porch spans the back of the cabin, at a level with the tree branches - SPECTUALAR! We saw a mating pair of pileated woodpeckers create a hole in a tree for a nest. Within an hour's drive is beautiful and challenging hikes. We brought our dogs. Walking in the neighborhood was nice and safe. Dawn and Tim were great hosts, quick to respond or reach out.

Relaxing atmosphere
It was a pre 50th Anniversary stay. So relaxing and calming. The dock and fire pit were fabulous. Everything we needed was there. My only wish is that it was closer to Gatlinburg. It was a haul to get out there but once back you appreciated the seclusion. Wonderful cabin on the calmest lake I have ever seen! Loved it but it was too short!

My girlfriend and I wanted to get away for a long weekend with our two dogs. This cabin was the perfect choice. It was both quiet and relaxing. If you have a boat, this would make for a great getaway. We also caught some nice bass off the dock. We'd definitely stay here again.

Exceeded My Expectations
What a beautiful, well kept property. This was the perfect home to get away. It’s in a cove so the water is calm and ideal for kayaking. The screened in patio was ideal to enjoy the outdoors while keeping bugs out. Boat rental is 10 min away and also has a better than expected restaurant. August is hot and humid so if that’s an issue, another month might be better. Grocery store is a good 30 minutes out, so stock up before you get there. Overall an outstanding property. I highly recommend.
