About the host
Hosted by Linda Cameron
Hi, we're Brian and Linda, the hosts behind Cameron's Cottage at The Lake! We love sharing our little corner of East Tennessee with guests looking to slow down and reconnect with nature.
Nestled in the Top of the World community near Lake in the Sky and the Great Smoky Mountains, our cottage is a place we've put a lot of care into — from the cozy furnishings to the small details that make a stay feel special. We enjoy hosting because we love seeing guests unwind by the fire pit, explore the surrounding trails, or simply take in a quiet mountain morning.
Despite the peaceful, tucked-away feel of the area, we're only 35–45 minutes from McGhee Tyson Airport (TYS), making it an easy escape to reach. We're always happy to share our favorite local spots, so don't hesitate to reach out during your stay!
Why they chose this property
We chose the Top of the World community for its rare mix of seclusion and natural beauty. Tucked into the mountains around Lake in the Sky, it's a quiet, unincorporated area with rugged, scenic surroundings and long-range Smoky Mountain views — the kind of place that feels a world away the moment you arrive.
The neighborhood is anchored by Lake in the Sky itself, a peaceful spot for swimming, fishing, kayaking, and canoeing. Nearby trails, waterfalls, and caverns make it easy to spend a day exploring, while charming small towns like Maryville and Townsend are just a short drive away for dining and local flavor.
Despite how remote and peaceful it feels, the location is surprisingly convenient — only 35–45 minutes from McGhee Tyson Airport (TYS) and close to the Foothills Parkway and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It's the perfect balance of getting away from it all without being hard to get to.
What makes this property unique
Cameron's Cottage offers a rare combination: true mountain seclusion paired with lake access, all just minutes from everyday conveniences. Set in the Top of the World community, guests get a 2-minute drive to Lake in the Sky for swimming, fishing, and kayaking, plus sweeping Great Smoky Mountains views right outside the door.
The cottage is thoughtfully equipped for a relaxed stay — a fully equipped kitchen, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, and a cozy layout that comfortably sleeps 4. Outside, a private fire pit and BBQ grill make evenings feel like a retreat, whether you're roasting marshmallows under the stars or grilling dinner after a day on the trails.
What really sets it apart is how easy it is to reach without giving up that tucked-away feeling — only 35–45 minutes from McGhee Tyson Airport (TYS), yet worlds away from the everyday. It's the perfect home base for exploring the Smokies while still having a peaceful, private place to unwind.
