About this property

Updated Cabin - Hiwassee Highlife

Summary:
Welcome to our fantastic waterfront Hiwassee River property with water access, and dock! Enjoy a four-bedroom, three-bath home complete with a dock and cabana down by the river. An open floor plan on the main level makes for easy access to the screened in porch at the back of the home overlooking the Hiwassee River. With plenty of room inside and out, we know you, your family, and friends will enjoy slowing down and making memories in our home! We hope to host you.

The Space:
****NOTE: The hot tub at the home is undergoing maintenance and is not available for guest use.****

Sitting right on the beautiful Hiwassee River, the lovely scenery is the first thing to take. With views of the river, rolling hills, and mature trees surrounding our home, it is TN nature at its finest. Our multi-level home offers multiple southern-style porches, allowing guests to spend ample time outside. The main level offers open concept living. Enjoy relaxing in the cozy living room with a love seat, sofa, and flat-screen TV complete with Roku. The eat-in kitchen offers doors leading directly to the beautiful screened-in porch. It is sure to be a favorite spot during your stay! The lower level of the home has a cozy den, a full bathroom, and bedroom #1 with two full beds. The main level of the house also contains a full bathroom and bedroom #2 with a queen-size bed. There is a steeper set of stairs (this could be challenging for elderly folks or anyone with mobility issues) leading to the upper level, which has a jack n jill bathroom shared between bedroom #3 with a king-size bed and bedroom #4 with two twins over full bunk beds.
Complete with its dock and cabana down at the river, our home will surely have you living the Hiwassee Highlife!

We love our dock, but it does require going up and down a large flight of stairs to gain access. Please make sure you are comfortable with stairs if you would like to use the dock!

A boat ramp is one mile away, perfect for larger boats. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions! We look forward to hosting you!

***Our home has satellite internet and can be spotty.***

***Please note: our home is on a slough. There is little to no water for dock use from mid October-May. Water levels begin rising in April and decreasing in October.***

Guest Access:
The house has a digital combo lock pad. We will provide you with the code upon check-in.

Getting Around:
We recommend driving and offer parking for our guests! Our driveway will comfortably hold 4 cars.

Other Things to Note:
We require a signed rental agreement and for guest to be 25 years of age to book.

If you notify us of your intent to cancel prior to the lapse of the free cancellation period, we will return 97% of your payment. The other 3% will already have been collected by the credit card processing company, and we have no way to return that portion of the payment.

We are a pet friendly home. Pets must be crated when they are left unattended in the home. We do not allow pets on furniture or beds, and all waste must be cleaned up from the yard. All pets require a non-refundable pet fee. If there is evidence of pet hair on the furniture, excess hair in the home, stains, or waste found in the yard or home, you will be charged the cost to clean this. In the event that a security deposit is collected, we will retain all or part of the security deposit to cover any costs associated with additional cleaning due to pets.

Interaction with Guests:
We want to provide our guests with maximum privacy and flexibility, so we have check-in and check-out automated. We will call and touch base on the phone, and we can always have someone come and help if you need it, but otherwise, we will leave you and your friends and family to spend time together.

Great house

The house was great for our group. Because the rooms were spread out we were able to comfortably do what we wanted without bothering anyone else in the group. Some rested upstairs while others played video games in the basement. The deck was a great place to hang out at night.

Christmas Family Fun

My family and I truly enjoyed our stay here. It was spacious enough that the 12 of us (4 children and 9 adults) were not on top of each other, yet cozy enough that we were able enjoy our early Christmas celebration. Our hosts did a great job of checking in and assuring us that they'd be available if needed. Honesty, everything was so well set up upon arrival that we wanted for nothing! It was clean and accessing entry was a breeze. I'd definitely stay here again.

Great stay location for Howe Farms weddings

Although we were only there to sleep, it was comfortable. The internet is usable but some members did not have phone service while there. There are lots of steps to get around the property but they are all well built and secure. Only issue was we constantly had a few neighbor dogs roaming the property but they didn't bother my service dog. We look forward to staying again during warmer months to experience the water!

Nice Enough but not really a lake property

Family trip to visit one family member. Home is nice enough and it was clean, but all of the beds are HORRIBLE. The family member we came to visit left after 2 days, due to the beds in the bunk room. My father and mother had to switch from the master king, due the bed. Screen porch, which is a very popular location to be, definitely needed some TLC. Fans in poor condition and really needed a good hose down, and could use a few more chairs. Front porch has a nice sitting area to enjoy but steps and porch itself needs some work. The dock area was pretty much unusable as their are no furniture/chairs to use. No lake toys to enjoy and the slough that the home is on, ( the very back point), was not enticing at all. Definitely need a boat to enjoy the lake at all and not even sure water was deep enough for about. Communication was fairly prompt but very confusing emails and texts. Seems this property is owned by a company and managed by another company.

JOHN

Communication with the property managers was exceptional. The pictures fairly depicted the property. The house was located in a super quiet and peaceful area. One drawback was the internet speed, it was slow but given the location I think that kind of goes with the turf of living in a clearly natural setting. I was between four and five stars on this unit.

Peaceful getaway

Loved this property and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to have a quiet getaway. Great accommodations and great communication with the host. I would recommend bringing groceries and making sure you plan to cook at the property, as access to restaurants and delivery services is limited. Great time with the family and again, would highly recommend this property.

Not bad

Our stay was okay. Checking in was easy however as soon as we arrived we realized the photos made it look better than it actually was. The lake was completely dried up so any hopes we had of fishing were out the window. They charge for dog poop in the yard but all of the neighbors let their dogs run loose so there were droppings everywhere by the time we arrived. The house was cleaned but not well, everything in the kitchen was greasy and their were piles of dog hair behind the couches. The beds were immensely uncomfortable since the mattresses had indents in them. Lastly the most disappointing part was it was advertised as close to Chattanooga but it's still an hour drive.

Very nice house in a good location.

We enjoyed our stay and everything was as listed. The only thing I was concerned about was the contract and waivers seemed to be a little overboard. There were a lot of rules that had fines or other charges if we did something wrong based on all the rules. We always try to leave a property as we found it, clean & tidy, but I was a little concerned that we might accidentally break one of their rules.

It was an amazing stay, everything was as described, the only things I would change is; internet strength lol and there were a lot of spider webs and dust on all furniture outside, so we didn't get to enjoy it as much, but it was still gorgeous, and we would stay here again.
