Great place for a getaway!

We had a great stay at this cabin. It was close enough to explore Chattanooga during the day, then relax at the cabin at night. The property owner was very prompt in getting back to us with on our questions. I highly recommend!

Well kept property.

Beautiful clean house with a large yard and great dock. The A/C worked well which was important during our stay. The internet was spotty and the cell service is best on the dock and on the water. My only suggestion is a sign marking the address on the driveway gate. We all fell in love with Toby the neighborhood lab, who would visit us daily.

Fishing/Kayaking trip

The house itself was awesome and we got to meet the neighborhood chocolate lab Toby!! Internet was disappointing but everything else was great. Dock was great to sit at and chat with adult beverages. We will be back at some point. Russ and Tina answered any questions promptly. The Hiwasee River was very expansive!! Fishing wasn't spectacular, I think we were a few weeks late or a couple early!! I did however catch my personal best bass, 5.36# !!! I was thrilled about that!! Thank you again for allowing us to use your river house!! Kimberly, Jennifer, Laura and Patrick

Perfect getaway

This beautiful cabin was absolutely perfect for our stay in Tennessee! It had everything we needed and it was peaceful, quiet, and relaxing. The owners are fabulous and were readily available, if needed. We go to Tennessee to visit our son and we will definitely be staying at this cabin again.

A place to gather

Perfect gathering for Thanksgiving away from home! Very cozy accommodations for our party of six. Secluded but close enough to anything needed. Great outdoor space when weather permits. Kitchen was well stocked with any cooking items one might need (discovered an amazing new to me blender to put on my wish list). Thank you Tina and Ron for sharing your cabin retreat with us.

Rented this house to stay at for a long weekend.

The house was very clean and looked just like the photos. My only complaint was the internet connection. It was not good,!in fact it was terrible. The entire stay I wasn’t able to make or get a phone call. I would have given 5 stars if this wasn’t an issue. Everything else was great. If you don’t need to use your phone then this place will be perfect for you. The river was even low and we caught some fish.

This was a really nice place to stay. The big complaint was there was no fish caught off the dock. The house and river were beautiful. It was well stocked and very clean.

Lake Getaway

Fun on the Lake

The cabin is wonderful. The owners have provide a warm atmosphere to stay in. The decor is uplifting and the property is well maintained. The location is ideal, within approxamatley 10 minutes to a nice boat ramp and a gas station, and only a few more minutes to a small grocery store. Plenty of larger tables to play board games on, both inside and outside. The dock is very nice to relax on and watch the kids swim. We did have a few observations that were area of improvement that a future guest might want to know. The screened in deck did not keep the bugs out at night, but after sometime if they go too bad we just moved indoors. The upstairs beds had hard matresses. And of most impactful, the walkout basement flooded one night. There was an extremely bad rain storm that evening, and water leaked from the wall, which is the side dug into the hill. The owners were extremely attentive to our needs and ensured our comfort. The water was addressed the next morning and cleaned up before we returned from the lake the next day (this water issue would not stop us from renting the property again)..

Great water front property

Very well maintained house on the water and owners are very accommodating. Just suggest another board along bottom of boat dock as jet skis get under and get marked. This was second stay and would definitely go back. Not close to stores or restaurants if that is what you are looking for but we bring our meals and cook there.

Perfect Getaway

The house is absolutely beautiful, the yard is huge, and the boat dock is perfect. We spent a lot of our time on the water and on the boat dock and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. You'll want to do most of your fishing out by the main channel which isn't far away.Thank you for sharing this beautiful home with us!

We had a wonderful stay

We loved our stay in this awesome house, right on the water. We spent hours sitting on the screened-in porch, looking at the lake. It was so relaxing and just what we needed. The house is beautiful and we had everything we needed. I wish we could stay longer!

Wonderful Spot

Great lake & location. Owners very nice. Needs maintenance on screened porch. Upstairs bathroom sink would barely drain, needed light bulbs several places, stove/oven needed good cleaning. Would definitely go back but would check to see if their cleaning crew is doing better job & informing owners of the issues.
