Marina very close and also close to New Tazewell. Rented a pontoon boat for the week, and enjoyed being on the water, exploring the numerous small inlets for swimming and just kicking back on the boat. Our house was very comfortable with large deck area and all the amenities. Looking forward to next year. ##### Charles R P.

We greatly enjoyed our stay at the black dog lake house! The home was clean and had just about everything we needed. We rented a boat from straight creek marina and got to explore the lake which is absolutely beautiful. The cove was great for the kid and dogs to swim and play with very little boat traffic. The area is quiet and we got to see some fun wildlife everyday. The walk to the dock is much better than most lake houses which was helpful for my older parents and with the dogs. The home was decorated adorably and it felt like home. We would definitely stay again! ##### Jennifer G.

We rented a pontoon boat from Straight Creek Marina (nicest people ever!) and spent every day on the lake. It was nice to be at the quiet end of the lake for boating, swimming, tubing and jet skiing.

Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2023 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Larry P. 17 Jun 2024 Liked: Check-in Disliked: Cleanliness #### Lake house Nice property. Easy access to dock. Outside deck and stairs need some repairs, steps are not conforming to proper code. The two poles at each corner of the dock are very loose and dangerous. Master bathroom on main floor both cold water faucets leak. The cold water faucet on the right sink takes forever to get cold. The shower you need to turn on for 5 minutes to get warm unless you like very cold showers. There seems to be no lights in the upstairs bedrooms which makes it very dark and dangerous when you have small kids. Air conditioning seems to have a mind of its own you wake up in the morning and it's 78° upstairs. We should have been notified regarding the construction/logging across the street and making it almost impossible to get in the driveway especially when you have a full size pickup truck and there is no way to park on the street because of all the logs, contractors trailer, and construction. The large retaining blocks that they used almost prevented us from being able to get my full size truck down the driveway. Anyone with a boat I would recommend never taking it up there you will never get it turned around. We are very aware of the terrain/roads in the area due to building our own house in lone mountain shores several years ago which we sold a couple years ago. Also while watching the TV Saturday night the Rocu- Netflix went offline and could not get it back. This was brought to management by pictures showing the offline. ##### Larry P.
