Guest feedback:
---------------------
"The house was perfect for our family. We spent most of our time on the large back patio enjoying the beautiful view of the lake. The cove was peaceful and very quiet. Plenty of parking and space enough for truck and boat/ trailer. The kitchen is large and had everything we needed to cook family meals. The bedrooms were spacious with very comfortable beds. Plenty of bathrooms with amenities such as shampoo, conditioner, and body wash provided. Check in process was easy and communication with host was excellent." - Adrian, May 2026
"The lake House was a perfect retreat away from everyday life! Our family had a great stay, there was plenty of room for everyone (party of 11). The kids all had a great time going out on the lake and polar plunging into the lake. The zip line was a highlight for the kids. The hosts have a beautiful home and we appreciate them welcoming us in!" - Danika, Jan 2026
"This place is immaculate! Great location to hang out & be in the country. The house is well maintained and very comfortable." - Rachel, Nov 2025
"Absolutely beautiful property right on the lake! We enjoyed the wonderful views, the nicely landscaped and manicured yard, the covered patio, the hot tub and the fishing. The layout of the house was great and being a single story layout made everything convenient. I especially enjoyed the kitchen with the coffee nook. It was so spacious that it made cooking easy, which meant I didn’t need to spend extra money eating out all the time. There were also a number of grocery stores nearby. Overall the house was very clean, comfortable and convenient and I would highly recommend it!" - Thomas, Sep, 2025
"Had a wonderful family vacation...pictures didn’t do it justice, as it was absolutely beautiful inside and out. Very very clean and had plenty of kitchen equipment for the 7 of us, which we appreciated. Thanks for letting our family share the lake toys (kayaks, paddle boards, and floating dock pad), we had a blast every day we were there. My little grandson even caught his first and the biggest fish (out of all of us) which made his day!! We will definitely love to revisit this home someday in the future!!" - Kevin and Tracy, Jul 2025

The lake House was a perfect retreat away from everyday life! Our family had a great stay, there was plenty of room for everyone (party of 11). The kids all had a great time going out on the lake and polar plunging into the lake. The zip line was a highlight for the kids.

The house was perfect for our family while attending the TN Bass Nation High School Championship. We spent most of our time on the large back patio enjoying the beautiful view of the lake. The cove was peaceful and very quiet. Plenty of parking and space enough for truck and boat/ trailer. The kitchen is large and had everything we needed to cook family meals. The bedrooms were spacious with very comfortable beds. Plenty of bathrooms with amenities such as shampoo, conditioner, and body wash provided. Only minor issue we had was hair dryer was listed as an amenity, but we never found one. Luckily, another person in our party was coming the following day, and was able to bring one. Check in process was easy and communication with host was excellent. We will definitely book again for Bass Nation fishing tournaments at Watts Bar.
The house was clean, had everything we needed and was just as described. I do feel the management company needs to get back to guests . When I called them, they never answered the phone. I always had to leave a message and wait for them to get back with me. The "book" in the living room needs to be updated with the correct hot tub instructions. The front door key code lock system is on a timer. If you are arriving earlier than 4:00, you may need a different code to get in.
The check in process was confusing. There is a lockbox adjacent to the door which appeared to be where you would find a key to enter. However, it did not work, but after a phone call to Donna we realized that a second keypad was located above the door handle. Unfortunately it was not visible due to the storm door. I would suggest that this be explained in the check in instructions.
This was an absolutely beautiful property right on the lake! We enjoyed the wonderful views, the nicely landscaped and manicured yard, the covered patio, the hot tub and the fishing. The layout of the house was great and being a single story layout made everything convenient. I especially enjoyed the kitchen with the coffee nook.
