✔️Amenity Disclaimer

Our cabins are packed with entertainment, arcades, gaming systems, theaters, and more which are designed to make your stay unforgettable. We work hard to ensure everything is in great working order prior to your arrival.

However, with the high volume of amenities, occasional issues can happen, sometimes due to prior guest use or unexpected malfunctions. Please understand that refunds are not available for non-working amenities, but our team will always do everything possible to resolve any issues quickly. In some situations, repairs may require parts to be ordered, which can extend repair times.



✔️ Important Lake Information:


Our property sits on a beautiful TVA-managed lake, where water levels naturally rise and fall throughout the year. During drought conditions in the region, lake levels will be lower than normal. If that happens the dock may not be fully floating, and boat access directly from the dock may be limited until levels return to approximately 983–984 on the TVA gauge. We appreciate your understanding that lake conditions are naturally occurring and outside of our control.

We had a great stay! The house was very clean with plenty of places to sleep. There is lots of outdoor seating to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Even though the lake was low, which is typical this time of year, it was still an easy walk down to the water. The kitchen was well stocked with more than enough essential supplies. The hot tub was a really nice touch. The beds were also very comfortable. Overall, a quiet and relaxing place to stay!

A great cabin for weekend trip! The house and property was spacious for our family to spread out and enjoy. The cookware selection had everything we needed to whip up gourmet meals. The hot tub and fire pit were used every night. We were unable to use dock due to the low water levels but still we able to access the lake for kayaking. Lots of yard for dogs to move around. I was slightly annoyed that they came to cut the grass on Saturday afternoon, it seems like it could've been done on a weekday or when the property was flipping. Both upstairs bedrooms are queen bunk beds which was awkward for someone who is tall to climb into bottom bed. The top bed blocks the flow of the fan if you're a fan person. Overall, my family truly enjoyed the property and would come stay again.

We stayed 3 nights and had zero problems. The house was clean and the hosts were very quick to respond to any questions. The driveway is super steep but we got in and out just fine. And although we were bummed the lake had already been drained (early Oct), the video games, foosball table, hot tub, and fishing poles were a great plus! Kitchen is fully stocked if you want to make home cooked meals but all commercial shops/restaurants were about 30 mins away if needed. Morning views are amazing!

Our stay was fantastic! Even better then what we imagined, our host was so polite and welcoming, he was very quick to respond to any and all questions that we had. He went even went a step furher to make sure he looked into situation at hand to give me as much information as possible. Which we were very grateful. As far as the cabin, the cabin was so comfortable for all 6 of us. Very open layout with lots of family games. As far as the lake, unfortunately when we arrived it was the time of year that the lake is pumped out so the lake was completely dry. But still so beautiful! Thanks again will be coming back next time we head to Tennessee.

I rated my stay as a 4. The cabin was very nice and the location was great. My only real complaint is they weren’t upfront about the possibility of the lake level not being at capacity. I understand they can’t control that but a heads up would have been nice. I expected to get what I saw in the pictures but instead I wasn’t even able to use the dock. I also didn’t find out until a few days before arrival I couldn’t park my boat trailer on the property. These two issues left me scrambling for an alternative and with their help I was able to find a local marina where I could keep my boat and trailer during my stay at an extra expense. All in all I had a nice stay I just wish I would have known these things before booking.

This house has everything you need

The drive was easy once we tackled the steep driveway for the first time. Such an easy check in. Very clean home. Comfortable beds. The Pac Man table video game was a hit with my sons. We do wish the hunting arcade game that was shown in the online listing pictures was working. The hot tub was nice once we balanced the chemicals in it as the PH was really high and there was no chlorine / bromine tablets in the dispenser . And although this is a lake house, it would be beneficial to those who book this to know when the lake levels will be high enough to enjoy the lake. We did not do our research and were not aware the area around this house would be dry because the water was just starting to be released at the dam

We had a wonderful stay! The cabin was beautiful, clean, and fit 6 adults and two children comfortably. The kitchen was stocked well for cooking and eating. There were lots of games for the kids and adults to enjoy. Lots of places to relax or play on the porch or around the fire pit or on the dock. Outside was so peaceful and the dogs were able to run around with no worries of neighbors. The lake was a little low but the dock was floating and the view was still beautiful and just a short paddle to get to the main lake. Josh was an excellent host and was quick to respond whenever we needed. The whole family agreed it was an amazing find for our yearly get together!

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful lake house! The views were amazing and the lake provided long days of great fishing! The home was clean, comfortable, and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. It truly felt like a home away from home.As other reviews have mentioned, the driveway is steep, but we had no issues navigating it in our 3/4-ton diesel truck.Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us. We made some great memories here and would gladly stay again!
