It’s the best of small-town lake life with all the conveniences like WiFi and a town/grocery store is less than 10 mins away. With touches of nature throughout the space, stay in our home comfortably with family and friends. The semi-open floor plan allows for everyone to spend time together in common areas while having the option to retreat to more privacy in one of the cozy bedrooms. But, you really visit to spend time outdoors, so grill on the expansive deck just off the kitchen (propane responsibility of the guest) with a cold/warm drink, pull up a chair at the outdoor dining table, on the dock or by the fire pit next to the lake to relax and enjoy your time here! Have a boat? Dock it with us! But, we don’t have a boat ramp on the property and aren’t able to offer access to the lifts/power on the dock. For families with small children: We know traveling with little ones requires a lot of stuff! We hope to help take a little of that burden off you by keeping a few supplies around the cottage. We have a baby gate for the stairs (though there is also a door at the top of the stairs), toys, books, games, infant play mat, changing pad and a few feeding basics like children’s table settings. All exterior doors except the front door are contained by the gated fence, limiting the number of openings with water access for littles. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have specific questions! ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bathtub - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - No lift - Designated smoking areas ### Location highlights - On a lake - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Hiking/biking trails nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![House (3 Bedrooms) | Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/95000000/94340000/94335800/94335728/b02b4069.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Watts Bar Lake Escape: Private Boat Dock + Ramp!

The house is at a great location, photos match the website. The house was clean and bigger inside than it looks. We had plenty of space, but not enough furniture for the family to eat or sit (6 adults). Negatives were the furniture was limited and not very comfortable. There were some details (towel racks, toilet paper holder, etc.) that need to be finished in the house, but overall it was nice. ##### John H.

Also very close to downtown Spring City for groceries, restaurants and pharmacy. Check in was very easy any time I had a question the owner got right back to me.

The front was a little steep but normal for lake front property. Lots of parking space for cars and boat trailers. Back deck was great overlooking lake, boat slip, and fire pit. We used the fire pit next to the shore every night. Looking forward to booking again next year with the whole family. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cindy V. 9 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### We enjoyed our stay The property was excellent. The neighbor to the right of the property screamed at our son from a window, with foul language, telling him to cut the truck off when he was just trying to unhook a trailer. He closed the window and then was never seen again. This was uncalled for and we didn’t appreciate that but as far as the property, it was great. It just needs power for lights at the dock for night fishing. ##### Cindy V.

There are no paddle boards or kayaks. Although it states they are available. If you need electricity or lights to the dock you'll need to buy 200 feet worth of extension cords! Recommend by home owner! It looks like they have started some renovations (painting in livingroom) , probably should wait until off season for that. It was very clean. Great area. Great views. ##### Chris P. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### m s. 3 Jun 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Needs TLC ##### m s. Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ---
