The view over the lake was beautiful!!! My family reunion was spent in a 4 bedroom home that was all we could've asked for. We had a game room upstairs that we enjoyed. Our plans were to stay in the house and talk all weekend but we ended up at the marina and enjoyed shopping and sitting by the water talking about old times. Thank you so much for a wonderful weekend. ##### Kim H. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Kristen O. 17 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Fun family getaway We stayed here with our four kids (ages 7-15) for fall break. The location was great and the views are beautiful. We enjoyed the fire pit( although it would have been nice if there was a lighter in the house to light it- we used the grill to light a stick then get the fire going). The kids were in the hot tub every day and we all enjoyed the pool table. The back bedroom to the right past the stairs when you walk in could use a new mattress. It was way too soft, and sunk in toward the middle. Overall, we had a great time and would come back again. ##### Kristen O. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Melissa S. 13 Jul 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Convenient and scenic The proximity to lake access is amazing. Honestly, you can’t be much closer aside from having a home right next to the water which isn’t allowed at center hill. Views from the top floor are great for both sunrises and sunsets. The kitchen was well equipped and functional. Having the pool table was a nice touch. Just a few improvement notes: since it’s dog friendly, the wear and tear on carpet and couches are more prominent. Also as others have mentioned, the driveway is super steep but manageable if you shift to a lower gear. ##### Melissa S. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dakota D. 10 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place The property was great and provided everything the listing said was included. The only thing I would warn others about is the overly steep driveway. We would have rented a different vehicle if we would have known the driveway was straight up and down with a narrow turn at the top. We made it work but it was definitely difficult with our 8 passenger car, and I would ensure that the tires are good on whatever car you rent so you can make it up the steep drive without trouble. ##### Dakota D.

Reviewer Comments: You curve upward on the driveway and when you reach the top the world is yours! The house was very comfortable for 8 of us. The set up is perfect and we had everything we needed. We had a fire outside the whole time and could see the lake over the trees. Even though it is wonderfully by itself, the world is just a few minutes away. Hope others enjoy it as much ae we did. ##### Sandra F.

The vacation rental was clean. I was very unhappy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was not as described. We were surprised to find that it was just off of the highway and very remote, the lake was quite a distance away. The bathrooms were in need of updating, as were the TVs. We had swarms of bugs as we entered, and battled them throughout our stay. Most of the closets were full of the owners personal effects, so unpacking was a challenge. The kitchen and upstairs were adequate. ##### Amy M. ### 2/10 Terrible #### Sharon Heard N. 18 Jul 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Dangerous Adventure The house wasn't clean and it had huge cockroaches The balcony is old and dangerous. the dog walked on the balcony and it shook. Underneath the balcony the foundation/ beams are split in many places. We submitted photos. THE BEDS WERE THE WORST. We left early due to our aching bodies from the springs in the mattress ALL OF THEM! The ceiling fan light fell down and almost hit me in the head. I was offered a refund then the cost went up so they don't want to give hardly anything back. Sad Bad Business ##### Sharon Heard N.

The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: While it was adequate space for our group of 7, we were disappointed with the amount of neglect in some areas. Especially for the price, which is comparable to a week in Florida. There are funny enough VHS tapes, but no way to watch them so its really odd to keep them and have them take up so much space in the living room. There are no oven mitts or pot holders. There is mold all over the bathroom shower curtain in the hall shower. There is a super weird assortment of decor and furnishings that seemed much better in the photos. This was better than camping, which is what we have done in the past during Center Hill trips, but mainly because of the AC. ##### Amber P. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leslie B., Knoxville TN USA 13 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely secluded property! Great beds! We had a great weekend getaway at The Lookout! There were 8 adults and we all loved the property. My husband and I were pleasantly surprised at how comfortable (and firm) the king bed was! We hate soft beds. Everyone else said the beds were great too. The ice maker and fridge were remarkably cold which we were a pleasant surprise (a rental with a good ice machine?! Wow!). I also read a review that the deck was dangerous which i totally disagree with. It was weathered, but structurally sound 100%. I dont know why people thought it wasn't sturdy. We saw no bugs inside whatsoever which is hard for a house set in the woods. The grill worked well, the AC worked really well upstairs and down, hot tub was super hot, honestly everything exceeded our expectations for a cozy, relaxed rental! If i had any critiques, one couch was quite old and worn and the outside trash cans might be small for an extended stay or lots of guests. We really had a great time and were so pleased with everything! Thank you for a great time! ##### Leslie B.

The vacation rental was spotless. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It is a very clean house with awesome back porch views. Sleeps 8 comfortably. Only draw back for us is the noise of the highway traffic. You cannot hear it inside but sitting on the deck it is very loud. Also the master bedroom needs black out curtains. The thin red curtains do nothing to block out the light in the morning. Do not attempt to pull a boat up the driveway. The hair pin driveway curve will not work towing a boat. ##### Amy B. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Dollywood's DreamMore Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pigeon-Forge-Hotels-Dollywoods-DreamMore-Resort.h10003236.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge by Wyndham Winchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-Travelodge-By-Wyndham-Winchester.h9600.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Santa Clara](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Clara-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Santa-Clara.h4313.Hotel-Information) > > [Sea Crest Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/North-Falmouth-Hotels-Sea-Crest-Beach-Hotel.h25567.Hotel-Information) > > [Cartoon Network Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lancaster-Hotels-Cartoon-Network-Hotel.h50407269.Hotel-Information) > > [Bayshore Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Traverse-City-Hotels-Bayshore-Resort.h34264.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Orchid](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kamuela-Hotels-Fairmont-Orchid.h25190.Hotel-Information) > > [Aspen Select](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rochester-Hotels-Aspen-Select.h12245240.Hotel-Information) > > [Maui Coast Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kihei-Hotels-Maui-Coast-Hotel.h28645.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Price by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Price-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Price.h9253345.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Myrtle Beach - N Kings Hwy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Myrtle-Beach-N-Kings-Hwy.h6849.Hotel-Information) > > [Glenstone Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatlinburg-Hotels-Glenstone-Lodge.h25627.Hotel-Information) > > [The View Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kayenta-Hotels-The-View-Hotel.h59418009.Hotel-Information) > > [Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marathon-Hotels-Isla-Bella-Beach-Resort-Spa.h24101706.Hotel-Information) > > [Anvil Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jackson-Hole-Hotels-Anvil-Hotel.h894210.Hotel-Information) > > [Yosemite View Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/El-Portal-Hotels-Yosemite-View-Lodge.h576660.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Cocoa Beach Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Cocoa-Beach-Oceanfront.h894002.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Titusville / Kennedy Space Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Titusville-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Titusville-Space-Center.h44354265.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Key Largo by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Key-Largo-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Key-Largo.h7230.Hotel-Information) > > [Baymont by Wyndham Mishawaka South Bend Area](https://www.expedia.co.uk/South-Bend-Hotels-Baymont-By-Wyndham-Mishawaka-South-Bend-Area.h1976.Hotel-Information) > > [Solterra Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Solterra-Resort.h18526478.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Inn & Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Defiance-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-Suites.h200743.Hotel-Information) > > [Bar N Ranch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/West-Yellowstone-Hotels-Bar-N-Ranch.h11548135.Hotel-Information) > > [Timber Ridge Lodge and Waterpark](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Geneva-Hotels-Timber-Ridge-Lodge-And-Waterpark.h1043867.Hotel-Information) > > [Yosemite Southgate Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oakhurst-Hotels-Yosemite-Southgate-Hotel-Suites.h3650.Hotel-Information) > > [Wuksachi Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sequoia-National-Park-Hotels-Wuksachi-Lodge.h893730.Hotel-Information) > > [Gurney's Montauk Resort & Seawater Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Montauk-Hotels-Gurneys-Montauk-Resort-Seawater-Spa.h7033726.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Marguerite Anaheim/Garden Grove, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Garden-Grove-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Garden-Grove-Anaheim-South.h917954.Hotel-Information) > > [Riviera Resort Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Palm-Springs.h26011.Hotel-Information) > > [Balmoral Resort Florida](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haines-City-Hotels-Balmoral-Resort-Florida.h19447044.Hotel-Information)
