Everyone in our family loves coming to this house. The owners have addressed every item a vacationing family would need. We hope to be able to return every summer for years to come.
Location was great proximity to boat ramps. Great parking for boats and trucks. Communication with owners was timely and helpful. Will definitely book again when in the area.
We loved our stay. The deck was great for relaxing and watching the sunrise. The inside has been wonderfully updated and the downstairs was great for the kids to play and hangout. Sara was very welcoming and an amazing host.
Highly recommend this place! We enjoyed a cozy weekend in with our kids, doing nothing but enjoying spending time together. Thanks for opening your home!
We loved the house. Beautiful home! Was super cozy and the neighborhood was quiet. Loved all the personal touches in the house. And the host had great communication. Will stay again.
It was comfortable and relatively roomy for our 4 adults and 2 children stay. Even though the temperature plummeted outside, we were warm and toasting inside. The air hockey in the basement was a plus for the kids. Property manager was very helpful with the details of what to expect.
Clean and beautiful home within walking distance to the lake. Great time for fishing and swimming. Home provided great amenities! Our chocolate lab loved it too! Highly recommend!
This owner and this property far exceeded expectations. EVERYTHING we needed was there. The property was so clean, well-stocked, and outfitted. We're looking forward to returning next year!
Had a fishing tournament on Watts Bar. The accommodations were great for us. We were able to park three trucks with boat trailers and another truck in the driveway. A boat launch was conveniently located very close to the house. All of the guys that stayed bragged on how nice the house was and how pleased they were. We will definitely stay here again.
Sara is awesome to respond to any questions quickly. The house is beautiful with lots of room. The neighborhood is awesome also with great playground, fishing and swimming. Fully equipped Marina and a close restaurant were a plus. Again Sara was awesome to deal with.
Sara hosts a clean rental. Downstairs was great for our kids to hang out while we relaxed upstairs. We were here checking out surrounding area properties for ourselves while I can see others may stay for fishing. If so, the spot is perfect. Nice yard for a pet! Only downside would be weak wi-fi but that's mountain life! Enjoy it. Read a book or get outside! Wish we used the awesome firepit but it was freezing out for us lol Thanks again!
Our family met over thanksgiving week. This home was perfect. The set up is comfortable. The accommodations were comfortable and neighborhood was charming and safe! My kids loved having the basement area to themselves and played a lot of air hockey! Everyone had their own space and was able to relax for the week. Quiet and peaceful! The Honey Hole is priced very well, owner is very nice and you literally have everything you need. Owner left a few outing ideas. We did several of them and really enjoyed ourselves. House is a quick drive to local shopping or a beautiful scenic hour drive to larger cities.
The house is just like it is pictured inside, roomy, relaxed, spread out nicely. There is room to play games at the table, read a book on the couch, watch movies as a family, sleep comfortably, sit outside in the cooling evening, play air hockey and hang out downstairs, etc. . Just a really nice place to stay and so peaceful. It was just what we needed. We will visit again.

About the host
Hosted by Sara Black
My husband and I enjoy traveling with our three kids and exploring out-of-the way destinations and restaurants. We enjoy working outdoors and even call ourselves novice beekeepers! Most of all we LOVE hosting family and friends at our home. We hope the HONEY HOLE is a blessing to you and your family - a place where you can rest, relax, and create many wonderful memories!
Why they chose this property
Our home is off the beaten path but still contains all of the modern conveniences that you would expect in the city. It is really the best of both worlds! After a short drive through the country from the main road, you will arrive at your private cozy oasis. The house is fully stocked with everything that you will need to grill a steak, host a pasta night, or drink a cup of coffee or tea while enjoying the sunrise. We are approximately 20 minutes to the closest Wal-Mart and conveniently located between Dayton, Knoxville, and Crossville. Use our house to go on a day trip to the Aquarium in Chattanooga or hike at Fall Creek Falls. If you are visiting the area for fishing, we are approximately 30 minutes north of the Dayton Boat Dock and 20 minutes south of Tom Fuller Memorial Park in Rockwood. Our house is truly a HONEY HOLE - the secret location where you will want to come back to again and again!
What makes this property unique
We are located in a quaint fishing community consisting of older and newer homes. Residents are frequently seen taking leisurely walks, driving golf carts, or admiring the wildlife. The street is wooded and quiet and deer are frequently seen roaming up and down the main road or on the property during the early morning and dusk. Even though the house does not have direct water access, there is both a private and public boat ramp within three minutes of the house. Guests may swim, fish, or pull their boat in/out of the water from either of these convenient locations. The neighborhood boat ramp and dock is close enough to enjoy while you view the serenity of a TN sunset. Two local marinas are open seasonally and offer guests the opportunity to dine and/or rent watercraft vehicles.
