We stayed 3 nights and had zero problems. The house was clean and the hosts were very quick to respond to any questions. The driveway is super steep but we got in and out just fine. And although we were bummed the lake had already been drained (early Oct), the video games, foosball table, hot tub, and fishing poles were a great plus! Kitchen is fully stocked if you want to make home cooked meals but all commercial shops/restaurants were about 30 mins away if needed. Morning views are amazing!

Our stay was fantastic! Even better then what we imagined, our host was so polite and welcoming, he was very quick to respond to any and all questions that we had. He went even went a step furher to make sure he looked into situation at hand to give me as much information as possible. Which we were very grateful. As far as the cabin, the cabin was so comfortable for all 6 of us. Very open layout with lots of family games. As far as the lake, unfortunately when we arrived it was the time of year that the lake is pumped out so the lake was completely dry. But still so beautiful! Thanks again will be coming back next time we head to Tennessee.

This house has everything you need

The drive was easy once we tackled the steep driveway for the first time. Such an easy check in. Very clean home. Comfortable beds. The Pac Man table video game was a hit with my sons. We do wish the hunting arcade game that was shown in the online listing pictures was working. The hot tub was nice once we balanced the chemicals in it as the PH was really high and there was no chlorine / bromine tablets in the dispenser . And although this is a lake house, it would be beneficial to those who book this to know when the lake levels will be high enough to enjoy the lake. We did not do our research and were not aware the area around this house would be dry because the water was just starting to be released at the dam

I rated my stay as a 4. The cabin was very nice and the location was great. My only real complaint is they weren’t upfront about the possibility of the lake level not being at capacity. I understand they can’t control that but a heads up would have been nice. I expected to get what I saw in the pictures but instead I wasn’t even able to use the dock. I also didn’t find out until a few days before arrival I couldn’t park my boat trailer on the property. These two issues left me scrambling for an alternative and with their help I was able to find a local marina where I could keep my boat and trailer during my stay at an extra expense. All in all I had a nice stay I just wish I would have known these things before booking.
