Nice, quiet and clean place to chill out

We enjoyed our stay in this very quaint and clean older property. It has a lot of charm and is right on the water and very convenient to the marina for renting boats and enjoying the lake. When we get back that way we will certainly rent this again

5 stars as usual, we’ve rented this house for 3 years now and will be back next year. It’s perfect for our family, they literally have everything you need. The spot on the lake is in a perfect cove and is very quiet. We bring our paddle boards and floating island and spend all day on the boat dock and the water. We always rent a boat at the Terrace View Marina a spend the day at the sandbar. The house definitely feels like home.

Finding the place .

Finding the place was very difficult because there were three streets by the same name and instructions were not precise. The house number was on a small post and almost invisible, the house is well hidden from the street.. Parking with a boat is most difficult. We had to unhook our trailer from the truck and turn it by hand. The cabin is beautiful and location on the lake is beautiful also. Fishing was very poor for us. The Marinas in the area were like the Ghetto. Restaurants were mediocore medicore at best. .

Thanks for the feedback. We send very detailed directions along with the lock box code as we are in low poplulation rural TN and GPS doesn't always recongize the address. We have since put out a sign with reflectors in front of the driveway so guests can find the driveway easier.

Lake Retreat fishing Trip

We enjoyed the house and where it was located. just the right size and decorrated beautifully. MY husband and a nearby family member went fishing everyday, we had our little dog with us . she liked going down to the boat dock and looking at the water.I got alot of sleep which was great. The only drawback was the condition of the deck and the deck funiture. exposed nails and broken boards. it needs major updates, outside table was unusable. We brought our own chairs and used them. I would give it 5 stars except for the deck. No problems with anything else

Lake retreat

Property and location were very nice after an 800-mile trip however other areas fell short of expectations. Couldn't connect to Wi-Fi, sofa bed was so uncomfortable that my son couldn't use it, second bathroom shower was very small for an adult and the master bathroom had to be shared, lighting in the kitchen area was poor, there was a dryer full of towels, dogs walked thru the yard at times and while eating dinner a Doberman came onto the desk and was peering thru the windows at us and there were spiders galore in the covered dock. While we were there it was hot and the houses A/C was a blessing from the heat. We really had only five days so I didn't bother contacting anyone about the Wi-Fi and I could mention the other areas that might need attention if deemed necessary. Overall, our family enjoyed the area.

Good little stay.

This place has a fantastic location. Right next to Euchee restaurant and sand island. House is perfect for two couples or a family w two small kids. The spare box spring and mattress needs replacing. Its had its time and its time. Dock is perfect for our fish and ski. Watch shallow side of water pulling in tho. Depth finder saved us. Deck was a great place in evening to sit and see water. Rockers are great idea but wood is old and we had cover w towels. But we didnt mind. Outdoor table needs replaced. We did find some plastic table cloths and covered it. With all the critiques, I still really loved this place. With some more upkeep it will be a gem! Lloyd the neighbor was nice too! It rained one day and we sat on from porch which i thot was great. Will come again.

Nice property... Experience could have been alot better.

Nice home, Nice property with good access to lake. That is the good. The negatives are the previously mentioned out door furniture which is all pretty much unusable seeing the previous reviews we brought are own but hade move it everytime we chose a different spot to relax. The cleaning crew needs held more accountable. From the refigerator to the stove to visible dust on furniture, really unnaceptable. Without too much detail communication with the host local or remote was not timely nor complete. They just did not seem to care too respond to concern that was raised. When they finaly did respond (too late) no real help was offered. Even with the aformentioned issues, had it not been for the host a higher rating would be in order.

Poor Communication

The house was lovely and we were very happy once we finally received the check in information. I spent over 4 hours during my 9 hour drive to Tennessee on the phone with VRBO to try to secure the check in information. The manager of the property was emailed repeatedly and VRBO tried to communicate but to no avail. The property owner did not post the check in information on the VRBO app and only emailed information apparently to the wrong email address. I was frantic since I was driving in torrential rains and trying to discuss the concerns with VRBO. Customer service at VRBO did a great job to get a hold of the property owner to get the check in information. I cried and was just about to turn back and drive 9 hours home when they secured the details. I will never wait until the day of check in for the details again. I give the communication to the property manager a zero.

This was my third time staying here. Our first stay was in Oct. 2017, second, May 2021, and third July 2025. Love this lake and love the location of the property. This property reminded my husband and I of a cottage his family owned on Indian lake in Ohio. But in the 8 years, the only improvement was the outdoor deck furniture, which was a great improvement. The other improvement was they now have trash pickup, you no longer have to take your trash to a pickup location. Their property description is not up to date. It is NOT professionally decorated, and the appliances are NOT new. The oven works but takes longer to cook. By trial and error you have to find the settings that work on the washer and dryer. The shower door in the bathroom off the sunroom has been disconnected at the top since our first stay. I know good help is hard to find, but they need to find a new cleaning crew. Upon arrival, debris on floors and area rugs. While sitting on couch, cushions sunk in, my husband pulled it up to adjust it and what a smorgasbord for mice and bugs. Original bedroom (front of cottage) had not been cleaned for quite sometime had dust and mouse poop everywhere. The host had asked for good reviews and if there were any issues to please consult her before leaving a bad review. I messaged her and got no response. The uncleanliness this last trip is unacceptable especially since cleaning fees are added into the rental of the property.

Relaxing

We had a great time..the property was clean..on the lake. The yard was easy to walk to lake..the dock was great to fish from...there was a few things that the property needs...ladder on dock...new outside furniture on the deck and deck needs stained/painted. It is sturdy but is dry and splinters.

Repeat Customer

This is the 2nd year in a row we’ve rented this house. It has everything you could possibly need, from the kitchen to the linens. The master bed is so comfortable, I spent a good amount of time trying to find the quilt and pillows I liked them so much 🙂. The water on the lake is so nice, no weeds and it’s not too cold. The covered dock is great but there were some boards that need a little work. The Terrace View Marina rents pontoon boats and we’ve done that the past 2 years also. It’s not too far of a drive and the price is great from 10am to sundown. There is a sandbar not to far that everyone hangs out at with their boats and that’s fun. It’s not to deep in some spots so smaller kids can have fun. The only downfall is the patio furniture isn’t useable, it needs to be replaced. Looking to book again for next year.

Our first experience at renting an abnb.

The house was great had everything we needed. The only thing was the back deck furniture was not safe to use, some chairs had mold, and some slats were broken. The view was fantastic!

Perfect Lakefront Vacation

We had a great time, the house was awesome. Everything you need and more is there. The covered dock with power was perfect for all your lake toys. We rented a pontoon boat for the day and had a great time. The beds are super comfortable and all the linens and towels were great quality especially for a vacation rental. The only downside beside me being in an air cast is there no sandy entrance to the water. Once you get over the small rock wall that lines the shore it’s nice and sandy. The water is perfect, it has shallow areas and deeper ones to float around. We had a floating island, kayak and paddle board and they all were used every day. There’s a nice Weber kettle on the deck for grilling. Would definitely go back again.

Beautiful!

We really enjoyed staying here. The view and location was beautiful! We were in the lake almost every day. I loved the location .. it’s in a little cove so it wasn’t busy with boats and traffic which was nice since we have little ones. My kids spent the days trying the find seashells and clam shells and boy did they find a lot. They also found the cabinet under the TV that had some board games which they loved. My daughter and husband caught a fish which was neat. Overall it was a nice place to stay and we really enjoyed our time there. Only thing we recommend is to make sure to where sandals in the back porch or you could get a sliver.
