Nestled off a quiet country lane, this bright and airy 3 bd, 2 bath home is close to historic Dandridge and 3 minutes from boat launch!

All bedroom windows look out to huge private yard, and large master bathroom is attached to the king bedroom. Black out curtains in the bedrooms will let you sleep in if you wish after the sun rises.

A pack-N-Play for young children/ toddlers is available for guest use, as well as a Queen size inflatable mattress if needed.

Home is along a quiet country lane where there is plenty of space between houses. There are not very many street lights, so it is dark at night. There is farm land across the street with peaceful views of pastures, cows and a tree covered hill in the background.
