Perfect family getaway!

A Shore Thing was the perfect spot of our family gathering. Gorgeous views from everywhere especially relaxing in the hot tub. All the kids, ages 4-13, loved playing on the rocks and looking for shells. Everything including the kitchen was well stocked with everything you could need. Would definitely love to stay again!

Had a wonderful stay here with my family! Had a small issue with the fridge when we arrived but the host was very quick to resolve our issue! There is a lot of boat traffic that goes by the dock and they don’t really care to slow down which causes a lot of wake to come into the dock so just be aware of this location wise when booking and planning to dock a personal boat. Overall wonderful stay and would stay again!

Lots of entertainment for the entire family

Our entire family enjoyed the property and all the amenities available. We were able to cook Thanksgiving dinner with ease and enjoy the peaceful and serene location. We had a small hiccup with one of the vehicles but friendly neighbors assisted us graciously.

Very nice house with an easy walk to the water. We enjoyed the hot tub and game room because we had a rain day. The owner warned us and he was correct, bring lots of bumpers for your boat. The dock is in a spot where lots of inconsiderate boaters cut a corner close to shore and make lots of waves.

Vaca

The house suited our needs, the steep walk to the dock was difficult for my wife, but the kids had no issue. Would definitely recommend it

Relaxing get away

Had a fantastic, relaxing vacation. The hot tub was clean and relaxing. We used the pool table and ping pong more than I expected. The free use of kayaks was an added bonus! Rented a pontoon boat from the marina across the lake. Paid a small fee to have it delivered directly to the dock. Our college aged kids got TN fishing licenses for the trip and enjoyed fishing off the dock. Loved our stay!

Nice Place

The property is very nice with most things you will need provided. The cookware was in rough shape so I would suggest bringing your own. Beds were not toooooo bad. Proximity to the water and marinas is about the best you will find on the lake! The location is perfect if you don’t mind a 25 min drive to town (the drive is beautiful!) I would consider staying here again if we were in the area.

Wonderful friends and family vacation.

We had a great time in A Shore Thing for our week long vacation. The house was set up well for entertaining both the kids and the adults. The boat dock access to the marina across the lake was very convenient. I would just caution bringing a larger boat and getting it into the dock. Ours was 25’ and had to stick out the back a little because of the waves during the day.

We had such a wonderful stay at A Shore Thing! Check-In was super easy. The house was clean and comfortable. Terry was quick to respond with our questions. The kitchen had everything we needed. We loved playing pool. We rented a boat and that was super fun. The lake was perfect for swimming and we found the cliff jump right around the corner from the house. We enjoyed the fire pit outside and the gas fire near the jacuzzi. So much to do and perfect location on the lake. If ever we are back in Knoxville we will be sure to rent here again!

Good House for families

Loved all the games in the house, pool table, fuzzball, ping pong, corn hole. View of the lake was fantastic. Tons of windows and sunshine coming from outside. Beds were comfortable. The house was pretty dusty near the large windows as I don't think the house had been occupied recently but the rest of the house was clean. The basement is pretty cool in the winter. Loved the gas fireplace and firepit outside; very convenient. The walk back up from the dock was a bit of a hike, but much easier than other houses that we have stayed on at the same lake. Would rent again for the right group.
