Absolutely beautiful, serene place to stay.

Everything about this home was so wonderful. The rental is on the ground floor of a beautiful home on a hillside, and it opens to a huge patio area with a grill, dining table, lounge chairs, patio couch and chairs, a little bar and two person table with chairs. It doubles the living space and the entire unit and patio is completely private, with the added convenience of having the hosts right in the main house for questions or anything you might need. The use of space inside is genius and the decor is inviting and relaxed (reminded me of a lake house). I couldn’t believe there were three bedrooms in there but it’s true, along with everything you need in the kitchen area for making light meals, drinking coffee, or storing leftovers from the dinner we grilled. The living room area is in the same place as the kitchenette and has a comfy couch and large t.v. As if that weren’t enough, we arrived to find a ton of snacks and even a special treat left by the owners. The pool table was an added bonus and a great way to pass the time with family members. We were there for a funeral for my husband’s sister so it was a painful time, but this place provided us with the quiet peacefulness we needed at the time. The hosts could not have been more gracious, helpful or responsive. What a pleasant surprise this rental was! A huge thank you to Captain David and his wife for the hospitality! Definitely recommend!

Spring in Greenback

We had the best time discovering the hidden gem that is found in Greenback, TN and Tellico Lake. We loved the many hiking trails and beautiful scenery of this portion of TN, which gives you the benefits of the Smokeys without the human congestion that you find at the national park. Captain Dave was a wonderful host.

Perfect for Fish/Fishermen Enthusiasts

This place was in a very quiet and peaceful location. The space itself is only the bottom portion that you see on the back side. You do not have access to the other balcony areas (which we did not know). There is no kitchen sink or oven, and the toaster oven cannot be used with any other appliance or the breaker blows. (This happened during our stay.) If you like fish - you will love this place. The decor is HEAVY on the fish (more than is in the pictures on VRBO). To the hosts, I would suggest removing some of the things and clearing some counter space, as it was difficult to find places to set things & felt pretty cluttered. Only one bedroom had a window - my room was pitch black at 2pm in the afternoon. All of this would've been helpful to know before hand - as these things were not spelled out - and we went by all the fabulous reviews about the hosts. The hosts ARE amazing - generous, friendly, helpful and responsive. They are the best! I just think this cabin space is much more cramped than it appears in the pictures, and is definitely set up with fishermen in mind. I went with my BFF for a girls weekend away, and we were just overwhelmed by the fish everywhere on the walls, counters, shelves...even the toiletpaper holder is a fish. Haha!! If you're making a fishing trip & are looking for a great place to sleep or hang out outside when you're not fishing (you need to have good weather to use the outdoor offerings), this is the place for you! You will not be disappointed!

December Birthday Trip

I came here with my husband and 2 college aged sons, to celebrate my birthday but also visit my father and 93 year old grandma. We all had so much fun on the trip. Captain David and Angie we gracious hosts, and Angie even left me cupcakes and a gift for my birthday! One day of our trip was rainy and gross all day. Captain David allowed my dad and grandma to spend some time on site where we played many, many games of pool. I will definitely try to stay here on our next trip to Tennessee!

The property was very nice. Having access to patio with music and lighting with a grill and black stone was wonderful. Fire pit was nice too. Wifi not great indoors but fine on patio. Plenty of towels , great snacks and condiments with spices and grill utensils. Provided paper goods and silverware. Host Captain David is so nice. We will definitely book again.

Great place to relax!

Great property w/ an amazing back patio for relaxing and hanging out. Only issue we had was the Wi-Fi not working, which under some circumstances would have been a major hardship as I sometimes have to work remotely, however, it was not an issue for us on this occasion (it's possible it could have been rectified but we never complained). Will definitely return!

Smokey Mtn Getaway

We were very pleased with the property and our hosts. Our purpose for this trip was to begin scouting areas for possible relocation - not only were these accommodations perfect for us but David and Angie went out of their way to provide us realtor information. Also, the home made cookies from Angie were amazing! If you're looking to do any fishing in the area, David is your guy (guide!).

UT alum weekend getaway

Perfect place to stay in the country yet not a far drive to campus and the UT stadium. The amenities of the basement apartment and David’s hospitality were wonderful. Just note that with a lack of an inside stovetop and kitchen sink, cooking opportunities may be somewhat limited. We did bring a gas fueled griddle top and a gas grill is provided as needed. This is a perfect location for fishermen to take advantage of when participating in a guided Striper fishing trip with David. Hopefully we can come again in warmer weather and enjoy the local Striper fishing as well as David’s hospitality.

Why they chose this property

I found this beautiful property years ago which is in a quiet country setting on 3 1/2 acres and wanted to share it with others visiting our beautiful Tennessee mountain area.

What makes this property unique

The Conner Lodge is conveniently located in a quiet mountain setting but still close to major attractions in this area. We are on the quieter side of The Great Smokey Mountains only about 20 minutes from The Dragon and about 30 minutes from Townsend and The Foothills Parkway. Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge are only about an hour from our property. Lake Tellico with boat ramp access is just a few miles from the property for boaters and those who love fishing. Fort Loudon Damn is less than 15 minutes away with nice boat access also. There are several beautiful golf courses near the Lodge for golf enthusiast and hiking trails for those who love to hike.
