Beautiful lake front stay

Roomy place to stay with several family members. Plenty of place to spread out with a huge basement. Beautiful deck to spend time on with fenced in yard for young children to play. Enjoyed the dock to fish from.

Family visit

This is a great property, our favorite part was the beautiful view from the deck. We enjoyed our stay. There were not floats, kayaks, but we did rent a boat for a day and dock it. Clean and spacious home!

Had a wonderful time staying at waterfront cottage on Watts Bar Lake. The house was very clean lots of beds very nice paper products. We took our own boat very close to Spring City public dock. Also very close to downtown Spring City for groceries, restaurants and pharmacy. Check in was very easy any time I had a question the owner got right back to me. There were 7 of us and I love having 3 bathrooms. Plenty of parking for the cars and boat trailer. Hope to return next year!

Fun on the lake

Neighborhood was very nice and quiet. The front was a little steep but normal for lake front property. Lots of parking space for cars and boat trailers. Back deck was great overlooking lake, boat slip, and fire pit. We used the fire pit next to the shore every night. Looking forward to booking again next year with the whole family.

Great Lake Views

Clean interior and recently remodeled. Exterior needs some work. No power to the boat dock. Limited exterior lighting. Beautiful lake views and quiet neighborhood.

We enjoyed our stay

The property was excellent. The neighbor to the right of the property screamed at our son from a window, with foul language, telling him to cut the truck off when he was just trying to unhook a trailer. He closed the window and then was never seen again. This was uncalled for and we didn’t appreciate that but as far as the property, it was great. It just needs power for lights at the dock for night fishing.

Christmas with the family

Stayed for a week over Christmas. The house is at a great location, photos match the website. The house was clean and bigger inside than it looks. We had plenty of space, but not enough furniture for the family to eat or sit (6 adults). Negatives were the furniture was limited and not very comfortable. There were some details (towel racks, toilet paper holder, etc.) that need to be finished in the house, but overall it was nice.

Our only contact with the host was on-line. They seemed to be attentive to any questions or concerns we might’ve had. We had no big concerns , checkin/checkout process went well. Housekeeping prior to checkin could have been more thorough . For example, I cleaned the stagnant toilets before our kids arrived I think the property must’ve been vacant for a while. Coffee pot and grill were a mess, both fine after I cleaned both. Smoke alarm was chirping needed a fresh battery, we replaced that. Not a great setup for elderly family members getting in from the steep front walk was a challenge but we managed. The lakeside location is beautiful, more suited for those without handicaps.

Don't forget your extension cords

There is no electricity to the dock. There are no paddle boards or kayaks. Although it states they are available. If you need electricity or lights to the dock you'll need to buy 200 feet worth of extension cords! Recommend by home owner! It looks like they have started some renovations (painting in livingroom) , probably should wait until off season for that. It was very clean. Great area. Great views.

We do not advertise that there is electricity to the dock. There is also no mention of kayaks and paddleboards in the listing either. As I informed you the pamphlet you found in the house was an old pamphlet that mentioned those.

Hi Michael! Very surprised to see you only left us 3 stars. As you can see all of our past guests LOVE the house and the charm it has. I wish you would have communicated with us if there were issues we can not fix what we don’t know about. The only communication we had was you asking for an early check in which we happily accommodated. Our cleaners did not notice anything out of the ordinary when preparing for your stay or after your checkout.
