We had a great week on Watts Bar Lake. The weather was perfect. Rex, the host, answered all our questions in a timely manner. The sunsets from the deck were beautiful. The house was spacious, clean and met all our needs. We were able to enjoy the kayaks and fishing off the dock. We also enjoyed hiking at Piney Falls in Spring City and the Lost Sea Adventure in Sweetwater.
This was a very nice place to stay at. It was a well-maintained home with an excellent boat dock. The ramp could be used with small boats. but my 24ft pontoon was too big. But a 10-minute ride to a public ramp solved that. I would defiantly rent this place again in the future. Thanks to the owner for making sure our stay was enjoyable.
The house did not disappoint, amazing views, well stocked. The dock was very nice and the boat ramp even worked for our 28’ boat. Have stayed in multiple houses around Watts Bar Lake and this is by far our favorite. Not too far from town either.
Had a great spur of the moment spring break. The house, large yard, decks and dock were great for our group. If youre looking for a waterfront stay, this is great.
The house and dock were great and the lake view was incredible!

We had a really nice time with our family at this beautiful home. The lake views are absolutely stunning. There is plenty of space and natural light. The location is super private and away from any urban setting. It is a great place to relax and be with family.
We loved this house, super clean and amazing location. The house is well laid out, taking advantage of the amazing view of Watts Bar lake and the mountains in the distance.
Gorgeous property! Lots of memories made here with our new grandson. Neighborhood is quiet, views are beautiful and the home is so comfortable and had everything we needed.
Loved every minute of our stay. Beautiful property and beautiful lake. We appreciated all the water toys especially the new lily pad.

The view of the lake and mountains was great. The seclusion of the area was very peaceful and the silence was unique. We enjoyed the kayaks and had a fire in the fire pit one evening.
The view of the lake is amazing! the home was clean and our 9 and 11-year-olds stayed busy. The fenced yard was perfect for our dog. We will be booking again.

We booked a 2nd time and are planning many more to come. My boys fished, the firepit was perfect for smores, and we rented the pontoon from the neighbor who recommended places to hike and eat.
This was the perfect getaway for Thanksgiving dinner. We had ten of our family members for dinner. Lots of space, a lake view to wake up to and games to play after waking up from that Thanksgiving dinner. We absolutely loved it and will visit again for some fishing.
Bring a book, magazines on your stay! You’ll enjoy sitting on the screened porch looking at the lake or on the deck. Very relaxing and right on the lake. The house is comfortable.
