We love coming back to the House on Blue Waters every year. The lake is beautiful. We love hiking, kayaking, swimming, boating, biking (in Cades Cove on Wednesdays), paddleboarding. The house has comfortable beds and a kitchen with all the pots, pans etc that we need.

Peaceful Time

Once again Lake Santeelah was a peaceful and fun vacation site. The house was small but worked perfectly for having our children and their families come one at a time, leaving us a couple of nights alone. There are so many amazing lake “toys” available that we only brought our favorite tubes. There were plenty of linens and the futon couch was comfortable. Cute house in a quiet cove. Enjoy! We did:)

Perfect lake getaway

The lakehouse offered everything we needed for a lovely family trip. Beautiful view of the mountains and lake. Loved the dock and lake equipment! First time trying out a kayak and paddleboard. We paddled with the kayaks to a jumping rock in the next cove over. My son enjoyed fishing off the dock. We also enjoyed a fire in the chiminea. Grocery store was just 10 minutes away. Rented a pontoon.

Very relaxing

Nice place, very convenient for lake activities. Just a suggestion on those bringing a boat…Go straight to the Marina and drop the boat and trailer prior to going to the house. That road is tricky pulling a trailer.

Amazing lake vacation!

We had another fabulous stay at Mark's house on the lake -- 5 stars and more! It is a wonderfully comfortable and bright home with lots of great outdoor space. We enjoyed the beautiful lake view from the house, deck, and dock each day. Plus, we had so much fun with the paddle boards and kayaks. Mark is a super responsive and helpful host -- and I'll be reserving a week again next year for sure!
