About the host
Hosted by Anna McKelvey
My husband and I have loved traveling and staying in amazing Airbnbs over the years, so it's really a dream come true to be able to host and manage my own lake-house Airbnb! I grew up swimming, fishing, and boating on the Tennessee River.
Why they chose this property
The river is one of my favorite places and I'm honored to be a small part of others getting to experience its beauty and recreation.
What makes this property unique
What makes Lakeside Retreat truly unique is its thoughtful blend of private spaces and gathering places, all oriented around stunning water views. Unlike typical lake houses, this property offers four king-size beds and a separate suite with its own kitchenette - perfect for multi-generational families or groups seeking both togetherness and privacy. The home's position on a calm slough of Wilson Lake provides a more peaceful setting than properties on the main lake, while still being just 20 minutes from downtown Florence.
The property stands out for its multiple levels of water engagement - from the screened porch and covered patio to the private dock equipped with kayaks and paddle boards. Each floor offers its own distinct water view and outdoor living space, allowing guests to experience the lake from different vantage points throughout the day. Unique amenities like dual laundry areas, multiple outdoor dining spaces, and a 10-person screened porch create a perfect balance of luxury and practicality, making extended family stays comfortable and convenient.
