A Perfect Getaway!!

We just had a remarkable stay at Makin’Waves Lodge. The view is great and the house itself is spacious, spotless, and packed with every amenity you could want, from a fully stocked kitchen to cozy beds that make you never want to leave. The multiple outdoor spaces are perfect for morning coffee or evening cocktails, and the hot tub was a relaxing plus! The hosts were super responsive and went above and beyond. Hands down, a wonderful getaway spot—already counting the days until we can come back!

Excellent stay!

Took my 2 young daughters for spring break somewhere different but similar this year compared to our prior few years. We’ve gone to the Smoky Mountains in recent years but wanted a different type of nature escape this year! Makin’ Waves was legit a great time. My girls loved wandering down to the dock just to hangout and dip their toes in the water. When we weren’t outside, we enjoyed the spacious, comfortable, and very clean house! Stark Caverns black light cave tour was cool, Redhead Lakeside Grill was a good lunch out, and overall, the 5-night stay was great. Andrew was easy to get a hold of when I initially had an inquiry about my entry code. We’d definitely stay again!

Cozy Getaway

The house was adorable and very clean. We all slept very well after long days of playing in the lake. The kitchen is very spacious for cooking. We loved the options on the property, swimming, using the dock for our jetski, the hot tub, and having campfires. Beautiful!

We enjoyed our stay at Makin Waves Lodge. Very clean and comfortable, no problems at all. The property is on a very peaceful part of the lake and easy to get to. Also just a short drive to everything around the lake. The owner is very easy to communicate with and very accommodating. We would recommend this property for those wanting a relaxing, comfortable stay.

Great location, perfect for our family of 6

We enjoyed being right on the water - spent time on the lake tubing, floating, fishing. Especially enjoyed the covered deck for morning coffees, afternoon naps, and evening card playing! Not many mosquitoes to speak of which made it even more enjoyable. We ate in some thanks to the fully stocked kitchen and also ate out some too. Definitely used the on-site laundry too. Highly recommend, especially if you want a quieter area of the lake with quick access to everything!
