About this property

Relax with the whole family/friends at this peaceful place to stay on Melton Hill Lake. Ideal for Family getaways, Graduations-celebrationss, private relaxing time, base camp for exploring east Tennessee (Windsock Off Road Park is 15 minutes away, Smoky Mountain National Park is 45 minutes away), and work trips. Conveniently located within 5 minutes of Oakridge, 10 minutes to Farragut, and 20 minutes to Downtown Knoxville and the Airport.
This Basement Ranch has 3 Bedrooms and 2 Full Baths, the Master Bedroom and other 2 Bedrooms have queen beds. There is also a living room, Dining Room-Office, Kitchen, and a Large Family room that has a queen sleeper and 2 sleeper (twin size) chairs that fold out into beds. The Kitchen is well equipped with cookware, mixer, electric hot water kettle, cookie sheets, pyrex dishes, toaster and of course mugs, cups, plates, bowls and utensils. Additionally, we have a Keurig coffee bar with complementary fixings. We strive to ensure you to have everything you would need to fix any meal.
On the exterior, there is a front balcony style porch that is partially covered. The back of the house features Upper and Lower deck/ porches. We added a hot tub, March 2022. It sits in the covered patio at 101 degrees. The house is right on the water so it is excellent for Kayaking, canoeing, SUP (Stand Up Paddle board), water sports, and fishing. We offer 6 kayaks, 2 SUPs, all the paddles and lifevests and 2 Mountain Bikes for our guests use. Some of the best fishing in Tennessee is right in this lake! You can also enjoy a campfire at the fire pit with Adirondack chairs.

There's a two minute video on youtube of the house. Title: The Lake house-Knoxville The bar, fireplace and wood paneled part of the house is the owners area, guests do not have access to these areas.

About the host
Hosted by Tracy Schuyler

The Lake House is our retirement house! We were lucky enough to find this gem a few years before we retire. We are renting out the house for others to enjoy and have great family memories before we live in it full time.
Why they chose this property
The property is beautiful and the area quiet. The Lakehouse is close to everything, shopping/food/entertainment and hospitals. The area is also safe, it's on a quiet road that is safe to walk, listen to birds and see small wildlife.
What makes this property unique
The Lake house is so unique, there are 2 separate houses that have been seamlessly made into one! The first house put on the property, (Owners area, not accessible to guests) was originally built in Oak Ridge in 1948 and brought to this location at a later time. The second house was built in 1977 and also brought in from Lovell Rd about 6 miles away. Then in 2004 the previous owners had the Sunroom built to make one house. The Lakehouse is special, neither house was built on site and yet, the house is seamlessly beautiful!
