Lake Life

Such a nice, quiet, relaxing stay. We enjoyed everything the lake had to offer - swimming, boating (kayaks & pedal boat provided) and fishing. Enjoyed the hot tub too. So nice that they welcome dogs. The house was very nice and had all the amenities we needed. Would recommend!

Wonderful lake house

It was very relaxing at the lake house and a nice set up for our family, including our little dogs. Great porch to look at the lake and even kayaks and a paddle boat.

Perfect Vacation House

We highly enjoyed our stay, the house had everything we could want and more. We loved the shower, the water pressure was amazing and enjoyed the fireplace every night. My husband and daughter loved fishing from the dock and kayaking, we also used the grill multiple times. The hot tub was very relaxing and my daughter got in it daily. Even with the 3 days of rain and Hurricane Helene’s side effects we loved our time at this property. The only negative is the tricky driveway, we parked in front of the upper garage as I was not comfortable with the driveway in front of the house.

Spring Break

The house is in one of the quietest Lake Communities we’ve ever stayed in. House was perfect for a Spring Break getaway. It had everything needed for a fun family week stay, only had to leave for food! House was very clean and well kept. Hostess was very responsive and helpful from check-in to the time we left.

Picture Perfect location

I'd have to recommend this place based on location alone. This was the perfect time of year to come with the leaves turning and sitting on this lake was a great location. The home is pretty well described in the listing and the owner answered any questions and responded quickly to any communication. The area is quiet, scenic and very restful yet close enough to Madisonville and Tellico Plains (try Tellico Plains Bakery and thank me later) that you have everything you'll need readily available. We really enjoyed the stay.

Highly recommended!

We loved our stay at this beautiful lake house! The house itself was spacious, clean, cozy and had everything we needed. The outside space was equally welcoming and we had a blast jumping off the dock and swimming during the day and having bon fires at night. It was a peaceful and serene setting. The hosts were very gracious and quick to respond to any questions we had. If you're looking for a stay on a quiet lake, this place is a must!

Great Lake House!

Could not have found a better lake house to stay in! Enjoyed swimming in the lake so much, loved the paddle boat, and the hot tub! The property had everything you needed, plenty of towels, blankets. Fully stocked kitchenware. Beds were comfortable as well. My only negatives were the amount of baby millipedes found on the first level of the house, especially in the bathroom. Had to kill and clean out dozens of them. Also the outside of the house could use some power washing, lots of dead bugs, spiderwebs, and bird poop. But other than that, everything was very clean.

Secluded and Beautiful Lake Property

The property is a great spot right on the lake. Peaceful, quiet, secluded and homey! There for six nights and maybe only saw two other people on the lake. Property owners were easy to get ahold of. Had no need to reach out during our stay, house is well stocked with necessary items for day to day use. Highly recommend Angela’s Miami Grill in Athens and also Legends and Lore Pizza in Madisonville if you’re looking for a place to eat!

East Tennessee Friends Motorcycle Trip

Loved the property and all of the amenities to which we had access. We used the hot tub, the kayaks, the dock for fishing and swimming, and the spaciousness of the family/TV room with a lot of comfortable couches and chairs. Appreciated the owners allowing us to put our motorcycles in the garage every night after riding. The owners were spot on with communication about their property. Next time we go to that area we will use their property again.

Lake house

Loved the house and the lake. Host responded quickly to any questions and was very patient. No “to-do” list at the end like most places. Saw a lot of deer. Lake was small enough to take the canoe to both ends, get a good bit of exercise in but not be worn out. Loved that there were no boats making wakes. Overall a great experience. One of the families favorite places we’ve stayed, and this is our 11th year trying to find a place we can agree on.

Amazing!

This house was absolutely perfect. Nothing went as planned for our trip, but it made it better. We got out of the truck and it began to snow right away. We did struggle with the ice, but it made it where we stayed home to enjoy time together. The owners were great and responded quickly to anything we asked about. If you want a quiet and beautiful place to go 100% come to this house. We would definitely come back.

Family Vacation 2023

We had a great time! Very relaxing and peaceful. Our 2 year old grandson loved fishing out back at the lake and taking walks. Luckily we brought a small blowup pool for on the deck for our grandson because it was a very hot week! House is very equipped with everything we needed and Carrie was great to work with start to finish. We did some cooking in and also went out for a few meals…. Highly recommend Ironworks! Our daughter and son-in-law loved the Lost Sea Adventure. Only negative for us was driving so far to see other areas such as Pigeons Forge and Gaitlinburg after a long drive to TN but that was ok, just spaced everything out!

Holiday Stay

We stayed here because it was dog friendly and close to both family and reasonably placed near attractions (Dollywood). The house is lovely and the use of the kayaks made a day in extra fun for the kids. With the season being really busy I feel like the house needs a day off for some deep cleaning when possible. The split level was nice with kids. Two bedrooms down stairs one up. The drive way is very steep but even my passenger van made it fine but be cautious pulling in. The neighborhood was quite and relaxing. Plenty of kitchen utensils and a good bit of “extras” (like oil, spices, coffee, and sugar) Not the host fault but the previous renters did not clean up after their dogs (my lab/bloodhound loved that😅)

Tranquil

Ended up only my wife, our dog, and myself able use property. House in a gated community where I met a few of local residents. Pleasant and helpful with suggestions for area. Easy drive to destinations such.as Skyline as well was access to local restaurants and the big box variety. Water level in lake was low however with two nights of rain was getting filled. Plenty of utensils for a large group and food cabinets had some breakfast and starter items (we also contributed a few items). Only needed to contact owner one time however Carrie Joy was very responsive. There are wild animals such as white tail dear in the surrounding woods as well as we spotted an eagle catch a fish from the lake. Very enjoyable.

Loved the house

Everything clean, lots of extra items in cupboards, spices, pots pans coffee, Host was very patient with my exhausted self checking in 3+ hours late at night after sitting in traffic jam after traffic jam. Since there was no cell service for T-Mobile, had to rely on my printout I thankfully made. Had printed the “wifi instructions” with all the door and WiFi codes, it stated garage remote on table- no remote but door would not open more than 6 inches even pushing button inside garage, and door had poison ivy growing on it so gave up on use of garage since it was a steep drop to house anyways. If arriving at night take flashlight, it is pitch black and motion activating lights on house don’t come on until you are underneath them, driveway narrow and steep in dark. Lake was like bath water temp and spent lots of time in lake. Sandy beach across lake. Very few people around. Did Gatlinburg and pigeon forge, each about 2 hours away with traffic. Walmart about 20 minutes. Also missed the section on listing stating no cable - just streaming, 2 TVs in house 36 inch in living room and master. Also electric blanket in master closet which always freezing husband was thankful for. Also multiple WiFi options, pick regular WiFi in main part of house and the extended option if in far bedrooms.

Oh, but it's just a spider!

I rented this house for a relaxing week and to get some work done for my business. The check-in process was easy, but we were disappointed to find cobwebs everywhere! The kitchen had utensils, silverware, and pots, and maybe one pan. When we turned on the water, brown water came out initially. The provided coffee maker leaked water and had gritty white residue in the coffee. The freezer contained old food and ice with a strange smell. I also noticed limescale buildup in dishwasher, sinks, and shower, leaving a chalky residue on dishes and making everything feel dirty. The house wasn’t as clean as it appeared either. We were delighted with the private lake, peaceful atmosphere, and great fishing. The shaded dock was a plus for fishing anytime. My husband spent a week clearing cobwebs and saving me from spiders. The exterior of the house was covered in cobwebs, including every window and the screened-in porch. I wanted to use the hot tub, but I didn't dare because of all the spiders. We encountered brown recluses, black widows, and wolf spiders. Every morning, we had to clear spiderwebs from the back deck and outdoor furniture. Despite some considering it part of nature, I think the property needs a deep clean and pest control. I was very disappointed in our stay here because I felt like I couldn’t truly relax. I couldn’t spend much time outside because of the uncleanliness, and overall, I felt like I wasted my money. The lake is beautiful, but the house needs a lot of TLC.

Perfect Retreat!

My husband and I stayed at the Laurel Mountain Lake House for a week and it was wonderful! The home was exactly as described. It was beautiful, spacious, & had all the amenities you could ask for. The internet was great. We streamed a few movies at night & also we also had to do work for our respective jobs, so we appreciated having good internet. We brought our laptops out on the back deck and did some work while enjoying coffee and the view! The water pressure was amazingly strong, hot when needed. The bed in the master bedroom was an adjustable bed, which was great! The mattress was very good, firm. The bathroom upstairs was spacious, and also contained stackable washer/dryer. The large dual shower was a nice too! The kitchen contained everything needed for cooking, and there was also a pull-out spice rack full of spices-- nice! There was even coffee, tea, and other extras, which was a nice touch that made you feel welcome. We brought our dog with us, and he LOVED the lake. Every morning my husband would let Ryker out to do his business, and immediately afterwards, Ryker would go down to the lake and take his morning swim before breakfast. The lake was low, but that didn't stop my husband from catching a LOT of sunfish. There were also a variety of really nice pool floaties available for us to use, which was great! The owners were very responsive for any questions. Couldn't as for a better host, and place to stay!

Beautiful Lake House

We came all the way from Upstate NY to visit with my sister who lives in Ga and felt that this would be the perfect place to be able to spend some long overdue time with her. The home is absolutely beautiful and was very clean inside and equipped with everything you needed. The lake was also beautiful and there are plenty of items available to use in the lake. Our problem, and the reason for the 4 stars was because the whole time we where there the grass was so high we couldn't even use the backyard. Previous vacationioners also did not pick up after their pets so when our dog would go in the backyard we had to be very careful walking back there. The evening before we left someone finally showed up and mowed the lawn. We never complained since it did not hinder our enjoyment, however it would have been nice if that was kept up since it looked like it hadn't been done in a while. They also did not weed whack the front or anything, they just took care of the backyard so the next vacationers are now seeing grass/weeds in the front yard that are well over a foot tall. We had a fantastic time and it is a beautiful home, we would highly recommend staying here. If we are ever in the area we would definitely stay again. I do want to mention that we did not make an effort to contact Carrie Joy about the lawn since we weren't bothered that much by it, most of our time was spent in the water. We believe that if we said something to Carrie Joy she would have taken care of it.
