About this property
Waterfront Cottage on Watts Bar Lake, View + Dock
Escape to our charming cottage set on a hill with stunning views of our a quiet cove on Watts Bar Lake. It’s the best of small-town lake life with all the conveniences like WiFi and a town/grocery store is less than 10 mins away.
With touches of nature throughout the space, stay in our home comfortably with family and friends. The semi-open floor plan allows for everyone to spend time together in common areas while having the option to retreat to more privacy in one of the cozy bedrooms. But, you really visit to spend time outdoors, so grill on the expansive deck just off the kitchen (propane responsibility of the guest) with a cold/warm drink, pull up a chair at the outdoor dining table, on the dock or by the fire pit next to the lake to relax and enjoy your time here!
Have a boat? Dock it with us! But, we don’t have a boat ramp on the property and aren’t able to offer access to the lifts/power on the dock.
For families with small children: We know traveling with little ones requires a lot of stuff! We hope to help take a little of that burden off you by keeping a few supplies around the cottage. We have a baby gate for the stairs (though there is also a door at the top of the stairs), toys, books, games, infant play mat, changing pad and a few feeding basics like children’s table settings. All exterior doors except the front door are contained by the gated fence, limiting the number of openings with water access for littles.
Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have specific questions!

About the host
Hosted by Michelle Hall
We love to slow down and make new memories at the lake! It's where we gather family and friends to connect by the water, unplug for a few, laugh together and spend time working remotely (you can't beat the conveniences of wifi and lake life combined!). Having grown up with families who taught us to find beauty in simple things, it's important to us that we share that love with our daughter and hope that we're able to share it with you too!
Why they chose this property
We chose this property for the view of the lake and it's easy access! Situated on a little hill on a quiet dead-end street, it overlooks the lake from every window on the lake side of the house. From the dock, toss a line in, snag the kayak or paddle board or floats to hop straight in the water just steps away from the backdoor. If your speed is a cold one seated - we've got chairs for you too!
After we spent time there, we realized there were so many other perks to its location! Less than 15 mins to Spring City, it's super easy to pop into town for all the basics - plus, two very well kept parks and a splash pad in the summer for family fun! It's within 20 mins to multiple marinas for lakeside dining and boat rentals. It's 25 mins to Rockwood and 30 to Dayton where you'll find Walmart for anything you need alongside more restaurants and stores. And if you're up for adventure, there are trailheads to the Cumberland Trail 15 mins away, amazing hiking to waterfalls nearby and it’s only an hour to Chattanooga and Knoxville. We never run out of things to do or places to explore!
