Terrific guests! Great communication, very clean and tidy, highly recommend this guest - can't wait to host them again. Folks like this make hosting easy and fun!
House was perfect. This is a great location to stay when visiting East TN. It puts you in close proximity to Gatlinburg and the Smokies but also Knoxville. In our case it was perfect for our stay to attend a wedding at Colley Hill Farm, just 9 minutes away.

Thanks for being wonderful guests! Please come back and stay again soon!
Host was very kind and had great communication. The home, although older, was clean and comfortable and worked great for my family. Location worked fantastic for us as it was out of the hustle and bustle but could easily get to locations we desired. Overall a very nice experience.

Amazing guests! Thanks so much for leaving everything so tidy and for the great communication! We look forward to hosting you anytime!
Marcie is an amazing host. Communication was awsome from prebooking to close out. The house is exactly as posted, Very roomy, clean and comfy. We had two full size trucks with 21' bass boats and an addional truck, all fit in the driveway. We had no issues with the 110 v plug outside, it was hooked to two battery chargers and did great. Kitchen is well stock with all needed utensils, pots and pans. Location makes it very easy to get to either Lake. A very nice snack package was waiting for us on the table as well. Check out was also very easy.

Thank you for the wonderful review! We wish every guest was as incredible as you... thanks so much for the responsive communication and for leaving the place spotless.
Come back and stay again anytime! Happy fishing!
Everything was just perfect. Our host couldn't have been more accommodating. The Carson-Newman University touches were so special to us. The gift basket was absolutely amazing. We loved the selections of coffee K-Cups. I can't rave enough about our host & the house. Would definitely book here again!!

We are so glad you chose to stay with us, and are thrilled that you enjoyed the welcome basket!
We look forward to having you stay again anytime!
Our family stayed here for a few nights around July 4th and to say it was quiet even on a holiday was an under statement we didn’t hear any of the neighbors once. Beds were comfy, kitchen was well stocked. Has everything you need to cook and entertain. The microwave is a tad bit greedy and doesn’t like to share (you have to rent to find out what I mean) overall wonderful experience and would definitely book again!!

Thanks for being wonderful guests! ROFL... Yes... that microwave is something unique. Hope to have you stay again soon... we welcome you back anytime!
Marcie is a wonderful and gracious host! She went out of her way to ensure our work crew had everything they needed, including an appliance that was not usually kept at the property. She spent extra time working with VRBO to correct my check out date I had entered incorrectly, so I wouldn’t have to repay a cleaning and damage fee. She was extremely kind, attentive, responsive and pleasant to work with.

Thank you, Kathleen! It was such a pleasure having your crew stay! Cleanest and most considerate group of workers ever... would gladly host anyone from your company anytime you have workers in the area!
About the host
Hosted by Marcie Curtis
We are locals and love lake life! We have lived here for over 15 years, in the foothills of the beautiful Smoky Mountains, nestled between two enormous lakes, Douglas and Cherokee. We love the four seasons this area offers. We are close enough to visit the Pigeon Forge attractions, enjoy Gatlinburg and the National Park with endless hiking trails and breathtaking plateau views, or just relax and watch the lightning bugs from the porch while sipping our favorite coffee.
Why they chose this property
This is a quiet, bedroom community just five minutes from the boat ramp. Neighbors are wonderful, ample parking and peaceful sleep - literally a mile away from the Interstate. Flying into McGhee-Tyson makes this an easy stop no matter what time your flight arrives or takes off... just a 35 minute drive from the airport and you've arrived at the vacation home you'll want to return to over and over again! Groceries can be delivered, or you can drive down the street for shopping and dining. Be sure to visit Downtown Dandridge for quaint boutique stores and visit the historic Civil War cemetery.
What makes this property unique
We named this "The Selah Retreat" after missionary friends who taught us how to be the best hosts ever. Come, rest, read a book from the book shelf or grab one of the games and get the entire family to sit at the table and escape the digital world for some incredible memories. There are two televisions, and WiFi, of course, for those who want to stay connected, but for those who want to disconnect, rest and relax, the beds are super comfy, and the living area is designed for relaxation. The home is close to every attraction you could want, but when you come back, it's peaceful and serene - just what every vacation spot should be!
