There were a few initial issues during check-in due to some miscommunication with the cleaning staff, but the owner was easy to reach, responsive, and went above and beyond to make things right. The property itself was very nice, well-maintained, and provided an enjoyable stay. We appreciated the owner's willingness to address concerns quickly and would gladly stay here again.

This is a lovely and comfortable home. Our party was a total of 7 adults, in the Knoxville area for a wedding at Marblegate Farm. This location was perfect for a short drive to the wedding venue. The house was equipped with everything we needed and everything in the home was in good condition. We did a little bit of cooking and had everything we needed in the kitchen. I appreciate some of the basics were provided (coffee filters, coffee, some spices, etc). We used the grill, it was clean and easy to fire up. We were in town for such a short amount of time, so unfortunately did not have time to use the toys, but there were kayaks, floating toys, fishing poles…The views were gorgeous!

Perfect place for our family to stay while in town for a wedding. Beds were very comfortable, kitchen was well-stocked, and living area was great for hanging out. We even enjoyed a fire in the fireplace with the available supplies! We didn’t go down to the lake because of the cold weather but the view was beautiful. Would definitely recommend!

We had an AMAZING stay! The home is so comfortable and relaxing. We took the boat, and had some wonderful days out on the water, then enjoy sittin out listening to the crickets in the sceened in porch. The kitchen is beautiful and has everything you need, and of high quality. It's a very nice home in a very beautiful location. My experience with the owner was smooth and flawless. We are already planning our next visit
