On the exterior, there is a front balcony style porch that is partially covered. The back of the house features Upper and Lower deck/ porches. We added a hot tub, March 2022. It sits in the covered patio at 101 degrees. The house is right on the water so it is excellent for Kayaking, canoeing, SUP (Stand Up Paddle board), water sports, and fishing. We offer 6 kayaks, 2 SUPs, all the paddles and lifevests and 2 Mountain Bikes for our guests use. Some of the best fishing in Tennessee is right in this lake!

This property is a great location for larger groups to stay if running multi-day experiments at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, which is clearly not the intended usage as it also looks like a great lake location if you like kayaking. Hosts were great and very communicative.

Our stay was great.

We had a wonderful time. This property was beautiful. There was a fenced in dog run and lots of outdoor space: even a hot tub. We practically lived on the back deck over looking the lake. I can't image a more perfect place for us. We spent most of our time at Windrock and the location was perfect. The local community had every store imaginable. And it was a relatively short ride to Gatlinburg / Pigeon Forge. When we come back to the area, I wouldn't even look for another place. The hosts were wonderful. They communicated just enough. The house had everything including 2 washer and driers. Couldn't recommend it (or them) more.

Fantastic break from real life!

This is a fantastic place to stay! All of the lake toys were such a nice surprise and happily used! The hot tub was wonderful, the games (cornhole, checkers on the table, and the arcade game!) were fabulous! I haven't played Tetris since I was a teen and it was so fun to revisit. We did not turn the television on one time. So close to Windrock and really fun to visit Oak Ridge and learn all about the Manhattan Project there. We will definitely come again! Hopefully, with more people to share the fabulousness of it!

Everything you could want in a lake house!

Our family of 5 (3 teenagers) stayed here for a long weekend. Tracy was a wonderful and responsive host. The lake is easily accessible, and my boys loved fishing off the dock (and the paddle boards). They did catch some fish, so that was a plus! We enjoyed all the amenities - the paddle boards, kayaks, bikes, hot tub, games....My daughter loved the soft blankets! This was a great space for everyone (including our dog, who has never been with us on vacation before!). The kitchen was well-equipped, and we cooked all our meals. The property is close to plenty of restaurants, stores, etc. It is easily accessible, but quiet and relaxing. This experience was so memorable the kids want us to purchase our own lake house now!

Above expectations! Great Stay!

This short review would not be able to tell of how nice and relaxing the house and stay was. The check in and during our stay Ms. Tracy has been helpful and available if needed. The quiet neighborhood, lake in the back and birds were enjoyable. The house was clean, organized and well stocked. The coffee was very convenient and the zip lock bags were helpful on checkout. The place was clean and immaculate. What a bonus the kayaks were, my son and I took 2 out on the beautiful lake. The 2 bikes the kids used on the long driveway. The beds and couches were comfortable, the video arcade game and board games were added bonuses as well as the living rooms just relaxing with family. It was a very nice stay and we would stay there again. We were in town to visit Temple Baptist church and Crown College for a move and this home was a nice base to go exploring. Little Ponderosa Zoo in Clinton is highly recommended to visit. Thankyou so much again to Tracy !

Everything we could have wanted in a lake house

From the check-in to check out everything about this trip was amazing! So much to do, fishing on the dock and boat, paddle boarding, kayaking, tubing, knee boarding, exploring the lake, hot tub, games galore, morning coffee on the deck. We were so excited to also bring our pup on her first family vacation and she loved it. This was definitely one of our top trips!

About the host

Hosted by Tracy Schuyler

Host profile image
The Lake House is our retirement house! We were lucky enough to find this gem a few years before we retire. We are renting out the house for others to enjoy and have great family memories before we live in it full time.

Why they chose this property

The property is beautiful and the area quiet. The Lakehouse is close to everything, shopping/food/entertainment and hospitals. The area is also safe, it's on a quiet road that is safe to walk, listen to birds and see small wildlife.

What makes this property unique

The Lake house is so unique, there are 2 separate houses that have been seamlessly made into one! The first house put on the property, (Owners area, not accessible to guests) was originally built in Oak Ridge in 1948 and brought to this location at a later time. The second house was built in 1977 and also brought in from Lovell Rd about 6 miles away. Then in 2004 the previous owners had the Sunroom built to make one house. The Lakehouse is special, neither house was built on site and yet, the house is seamlessly beautiful!

Premier Host

They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
