The property was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed. It was a great home base for exploring the area and conveniently located not too far from Chattanooga and Cleveland, TN. We really enjoyed our visit and would definitely stay here again!
We loved that we didn’t have to leave the property once we were settled in! Plenty of space to relax, the kayaks were so much fun, fishing was GREAT! Thank you for a memorable stay!
The home was the perfect place for our family vacation. We loved staying on the water. The home had many activities (dock, ping pong, board games, foosball, etc) to keep the adults and children entertained. We had a blast and would definitely come back!
House was great for our family to spend a long weekend fishing and enjoying the outdoors. The house has plenty of room for multiple families and plenty of parking for everyone.
Perfect spot for family getaway. Easy check-in, owner was easy to communicate with. Nice additions like the foose ball , ping pong , board games and kayaks. Cove was quite with little boat traffic , swim ladder right on the dock made swimming easy. We'll stay again!
We had a fabulous time for a week-long family lake vacation. We were able to rent a boat and keep it at the dock during our stay. The cove is peaceful and beautiful. The house is updated w new bathrooms and bedrooms, excellent wifi and amenities. Thank you so much for everything! A
Everything was perfect! The water was warm and the air conditioner was lovely, and the thunder and lightning storms finally cut through the humidity and were a plus for the kids.
Everything was as it appeared in the property write up. Owner was very helpful and quick to answer when we had questions. Would definitely rent this house again.
Property owner was great in communication, house was well stocked. This is an older house that appears to have been neglected at some time, current owner seems to be updating and making improvements. Our biggest concern was the house wasn’t as clean as we expected, other guests had vacated that morning, cleaner’s were pushed for time so we could check in. (And it’s a large house) Need to look for new cleaners or getting more help.
We live in an expensive world, the property seems to be overpriced for the off season, when water is down and you’re not able to use the lake.
The property is in a nice neighborhood, with plenty of space inside and out. If you want to get away from things with some family and friends this is the place. You are about 20 minutes from any major stores and restaurants so pick up supplies on your way in. Cell service with ATT is minimal but there is WIFI on the property so you are still covered for access. The large downstairs area is great for kids or teens with a large sleeping area, living room, bathroom, kitchenette, and games. While the upper level has 3 beds rooms, 2 baths, a large kitchen, and a living room. There is a full deck on the upper level to relax, eat a meal, or throw something on the gas grill. The lower level features a covered deck, with picnic tables and ping pong. The large backyard, peer, and boat dock on the lake are an added plus for outdoor fun.
Great place, private, with lake. Lots of space. I can't imagine what the place may be like in the summer time. It was great for our thanksgiving getaway.
