Oh my gosh what a beautiful property and so peaceful. My husband caught lots of fish and I sat happily in screen porch area. We will definitely go back!!! Host was awesome too, felt like I was talking to an old friend!!!
Our family of 11 enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property. The kitchen was well stocked. The primary bathroom was amazing. Access to garage and second refrigerator was very helpful! The dock was very nice and we all had fun in the water (since the water at the dock was year round, the path to the dock was quite steep but manageable and had a handrail). A second bathroom upstairs would have been nice for the 7 people staying up there, but we managed and it didn’t stop us from having a great time.
Couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Super clean and had everything you could want or need. Loved spending time on the screened in porch (especially listening to the rain one night) and swimming and fishing off the dock. We stayed with 9 adults and there was plenty of room. Couldn’t recommend more!

Thank you so much for your review. We are super excited to hear things went well and look forward to seeing you again next year!
This house is beautiful, and has everything needed for a relaxing vacation! Fully stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, lots of space to store our stuff, a quiet cove without much if any boat traffic. After going to Norris Lake the previous 4 summers, Watts Bar Lake wins with far fewer boaters and a peaceful vibe. We’ll be back!
Our family of 6 adults and 1 pre-teen greatly enjoyed our stay at the lake house! We loved relaxing on the lake, which was very quiet and private, and we also loved that the game room downstairs was well-insulated so that those of us who were night owls could enjoy conversations at full volume, music, and foosball without disturbing the family members who had gone to bed early. The screened-in porch was wonderful as well!

The house was amazing for the short time we got to stay. Beautiful view, cozy beds, and plenty of space. The management of the property was right there to take care of any problems. I would definitely recommend this property
This house is understated in the pictures. It is big enough to for 2 families to stay in!!! Luxury blankets everywhere, very open areas, and the game room!!!! This house made our family Christmas in the Smokies a next level win 💕

Beautiful house with beautiful views. The screened in porch was the perfect place to relax and watch the boys fish off of the pier. Beds were very comfortable and the kids loved the downstairs game room. Debby answered all of our questions and was so helpful. Had everything we needed and we will definitely be back!

We loved hosting your sweet family. Thanks for sharing photos. Looking forward to seeing you again. Thanks!
We had a great time and really celebrated our entire family could finally be together after these last few difficult years. The house is beautiful and very roomy for our group of eight. The owner/rental manager were very helpful with any questions we had. Also recommend Terrace View Marina for dinner and especially dessert…such a friendly place.
The house was extremely clean and plenty of room for several families renting together. Walkway to lake was steep making it a little rough, especially for someone with knee issues. Use of the attached garage was wonderful!

Thanks for your review. I am sorry to hear about your bad knees and trouble walking the stone path to the lake. There is a trade off when it comes to the slope of a lot. A flat lot means shallow water. The benefit with our lot is deep water to enjoy swimming in front of the dock.
We love our lakes in East TN.
We enjoyed the beautiful home, very spacious. All of the bedrooms were large and nicely done. The kitchen was nice and well equipped. The short walk to the dock was very steep but there is a railing. Our teens enjoyed their own space and drove down to the nearby park to play basketball. Lots of parking space.
There was 13 in my party and we had plenty of room. The house was fantastic and very roomy. Right on the lake and we had a ball all 4 days. We will be back for sure.
Thanks Sam

Thank you so much for your review. We are glad you had a great time and hope to see you again soon!
This property is very roomy and a great choice for large families. The use of the 3 car garage and the extra fridge was very helpful. The back screened in porch was a great location for talking, afternoon naps, playing games, and a fun area for our young grandchildren to play. Access to the dock was very convenient with a nice stone path and plenty of room for kayaks, inflatables, and fishing. The downstairs recreation area produced some great foosball and ping pong tournaments. All the bedrooms were very roomy. We hope to use this place again to bring all of our family together for some special memories.
