Lakefront Retreat at Watts Bar - Private Dock - Hot Tub

10/10 Excellent

"Loved everything at the house! Very clean, fully stocked kitchen, and great communication took place!"

Quiet comfortable mountain retreat, with Fast 500 mbps wifi

10/10 Excellent

"This house was great. The location offered peace and quiet. The house was so cute and well stocked with anything we needed to be comfortable. The bed was awesome. Shower was hot. Big fluffy towels which I love. We used the fire pit and got to relax outside in the evening. Only thing we forgot was marshmallows. I definitely loved the location. It was close enough to Sweetwater for shopping. Cute town with stores. We also drove the 45 minutes to Knoxville which was an easy drive. I will recommend get what you need in town to cook or snack. Well stocked with cooking and kitchen equipment to cook. WiFi worked great. We will definitely be back here. I can imagine this is gorgeous in the fall with all the trees as this is definitely out in the country with some bra country roads to wander on."

Stunning Mountain VIEWS! Lakefront Luxury w Pool, Spa, Kayaks & Deep-Water Dock

8/10 Good

"The house and property was fantastic and the view stunning. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you will need. We love the pool in the hot tub. the Terrace view. Marine is close by. The only negative we would have is a suggestion to put doors on the master bedroom upstairs and a handrail going down the rock steps to the dock. Awesome vacation."

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great time! The home was clean and had all the comforts of home!

The views were amazing and being able to dock our boat at the boat house was a huge perk! Would definitely stay here again!!"
