  March 2013 We have been going to Watts Bar Lake since 1978 and have rented places on the lake for the past few years, for our family. Driftwood Cottage turned out to be our most favorite place. The cottage is well located on the lake and gave us a wonderful sense of being at home. Everything represented, in the pictures and the info on the website, was just as represented. The house is well maintained, modern and has everything you would need. The property is in a very nice neighborhood and the people living there were all friendly and helpful. The lake access is excellent to say the least, the dock and boat ramp are perfect. We happened to pick a time at the lake when it was still in winter pool and very low, but we still were able to get our kayaks into the water and do a lot of fishing. I would not hesitate referring anyone to this vacation home. I have read all of the other reviews and found that they all had good things to say about this property. Being the kind of family that we are we do not require much in the way of attractions or things to do. We enjoy just being on the lake and enjoying the experience it provides to us. This property most generously fulfills those needs. Rodger the owner responded to any request promptly and was very accommodating. We very much look forward to the time that we can again visit the Driftwood Cottage. The King Family Cincinnati, Oh

  My son was getting married and I rented this home so that granparents, immediate family and groomsmen could all stay together. The groomsmen ranged in age from 17-21 and they all commented that they had an awesome time just being together in one place. The house was exceptional clean, and we had tons of room for everyone. The owner (Rodger) was wonderful to work with, and returned all emails quickly and answered all my questions and above all was so helpful, whick was so appreciated. The guys went fishing off the dock the night before the wedding and had a great time. I would recommend this vacation spot for anyone, as we all had a great time and would like to go back someday.

  We were very pleased with our stay. The property is very comfortable and sitting down on the boat dock, overlooking the lake was perfect. The owners are easy to work with. This house would be perfect for a family reunion or any large family gathering.

  This house on the lake was all we anticipated it would be. Plenty of room for our group of 13. Shallow lake entry was perfect for our great grandchildren and our children and grandchildren enjoyed floating in the deep water around that terrific dock which was perfect for the boat we rented. Plan to do a repeat next year! The lake and shore line around the lake are just beautiful.

  My three brothers and our families spent the week here. While not flat, it is about as flat as you will find a lakefront home. This allowed our wheelchair-bound son to enjoy the covered dock, which is the best feature IMHO. We had room for a large pontoon and my brother's fish/ski boat. The Ouchee marina is only about 1 1/2 miles by water, but did not keep posted hours, so if you need gas better call first. There is gas, food, etc. fairly close by so not a problem. This was our first time on Watts Bar and really liked the lake, but you need to watch out for shallow areas if you are not familiar with it. Everything was well stocked and as described.

  We arrived at Driftwood Cottage in June 2010. The house was very nice and provided everything but personal items. Dock was very nice for fishing and relaxing. We couldn't find to much to do in immediate area unless you drove close to an hour which was dissapointing. Should have checked on intertainment better before we left. Otherwise a very nice place to stay.

  It rained at least once, every day of our trip...However, with the covered dock being large enough for all of our children, they enjoyed every waking moment! At one time, we had 10 people on the dock fishing and there was room for more! There were several glimpses of sunshine, for which they were also grateful to have their bathing suits and take advantage of a little swimming as well. The house is absolutely gorgeous and well maintained! The owner of this property was extremely pleasant to work with and very generous to let us take advantage of this beautiful/serene house on the lake. After the first night in the house, it almost felt like we were literally "home"! The description of this house does not do it justice, as it lived up to it and more! We made one trip to the local market (IGA), as we had forgotten to bring syrup for our pancakes; it was only about 6 - 7 miles away and just like any other local market - very friendly people. We also made a couple of trips into the nearby city of Kingston, which was only about 1/2 hour drive; not bad at all. We had made this trip to TN, in order to see my nephew's graduation & to visit the family, who lives in Rockwood, TN. We were able to have them over during the day and it was great to be able to visit! I would definitely recommend this property to any of my personal friends &/or family. Again, the owner was very easy to get in touch with and he came through on everything we were told. Excellent property and excellent experience altogether! Way to go Ten Mile Cottage! *Our 4 year old was very upset when we were packing up the fishing gear. Not only that, but when we were just about home, he asked us, "how many more mornings 'til we get to go back to the Tennessee hous?" All of us really enjoyed ourselves and can't thank the owner enough for allowing us the opportunity to stay! Thank you! **I must say if anyone in your group has difficulty with stairs, the house is set up with the main level being accessible from the outside, using only a few front porch steps. Otherwise, the inside steps are about equivalent of going to an upstairs bedroom, in order to get to the main level from entering the house from the parking area. Our parents were with us and pretty much stayed on the main level though.

  While I was searching for an economical way for my family and their families to afford a trip to Tennessee for a high school graduation, I came upon this cottage rental. We are pleaesd to say and recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a vacation rental in the future. It had all we needed and more. Even though the weather was not at cooperative as we would have liked (rain, wind and hail) it did not hinder our stay at all. There were 14 of us in all ranging in age from 4 yrs to 73 yrs and everyone had something they could do and enjoy. The dock was a big hit with all ages. There was plenty of fishing, swimming and visiting done while we were there. The home itself was absolutely everything the pictures revealed. It was beautiful with lots of space. The stairs were a bit challenging for the older folks and one sister but we managed by having them enter and exit through the front porch. The kitchen was a kitchen I can only dream of right now. There were plenty of cooking and eating utensils. We never heard the dishwasher running but always had clean dishes. The children enjoyed watching movies on the big screen. They felt like they were in the movie theater. As you can see from my rambling on and on about this house there is not one thing I would want to change. It is highly possible we have found a new vacation spot for the family. One again, thank you, thank you, thank you for the hospitality we felt while in the home which allowed us to attend our nephew's graduation. May God bless you in all you do!

  We stayed with Roger for several months. Cottage was very comfortable and clean, nicely furnished and everything was kept in excellent condition. The grounds are beautiful and it is wonderfully relaxing sitting out on the dock. Very quiet scenic area and we would love to go back. I would highly recommend this property for family or a romantic get away. Be sure to get a hamburger from Twisters...excellent!
