Peaceful Paradise

We had a great time at this property! It was secluded and peaceful, but offered plenty of amenities and outdoor activities-volleyball, badminton, boating, fishing, just to name a few. It was so nice being right on the water, and being able to see/hear all the different birds and frogs was cool, especially at night with a campfire. We were also a short drive from grocery stores and various hiking trails, we visited Greeter Falls as recommended and loved it! This was a peaceful paradise and we highly recommend staying here!

Beautiful property

Gorgeous and very private setting on a little lake in rural Tennessee. The cabin itself was clean, except for the loads of dead ladybug bodies all over the floor, kitchen counters, and table. Bed was comfortable, kitchen was very well-equipped, and host responded quickly when contacted about issue with water heater. All in all, we enjoyed our stay.

This was the most peaceful, beautiful, and quiet setting I have ever been to! The lake was really nice. The water was so clear. The cabin was very comfortable and had everything we needed.

Fantastic stay

We went out for a couple of days of peace and quiet and that's exactly what we got. This place is amazing with a really nice lake stocked with some good fish. Cabin is spacious enough for 2-3 people very easily. If you are looking for a place to get away from all of the city life this is the place. We will be back for sure.

The setting was so relaxing, cabin on a small lake with plenty of room to roam. Loved the fire pit and porch swing. The cabin was pretty rustic but clean. Great for people traveling with a pet. Our dog had the best time running around and swimming in the lake.

Lakeside paradise

This is the perfect place to unwind and get away! It’s cozy, directly on a lake if you like to fish or paddle around in their boat, with a fire pit for nice evening sitting. The view of the lake is so peaceful, and the stars at night are so bright. If you’re looking to disconnect from the world and enjoy nature, this is the perfect place!

Amazing stay!

Banjo bungalow was a wonderful little slice of heaven on earth. The home had many new renovations including paint and landscaping that we were not expecting. You can definitely tell that care is put into this home to assure visitors having a great space. We knew we wanted a weekend to get aways from the busy hustle and bustle of life while still having lots to do. Banjo offered that perfectly with fishing, volleyball, fire pit, grilling, and more all while feeling like you were on your own island. I would highly recommend choosing the Banjo Bungalow for your next trip and we will definitely be returning.

Peaceful getaway

My kids and I had an amazing memory filled time here. We really enjoyed the lake and the available boat to use was so much fun for us to use. We also enjoyed all the options of things to do such as badminton, volleyball, lots of open spaces to throw a frisbee etc. The hammock provided a cozy spot to relax and the kids loved playing the ring toss game. At night the fire pit provided a wonderful s'mores experience. We saw a small herd of deer across the lake, found some toads, frogs and saw a baby ringsnake! Some people like to go where there are large groups of people for a getaway whereas we like to be able to be left to ourselves and this was the perfect spot we are looking forward to visiting again.
