Very nice
The only downside to the cabin was the lake was down and the lighting in cabin was not the greatest. Needs to have a light above the kitchen sink and small light in the living room area.

Lake Front Property
We enjoyed the location and house was nice inside and equipped to accommodate families with children. We stayed with another couple. We are seniors. The best part of the home was the porch. While the home is up to date there are several things lacking. The mattresses in the loft and basement bedrooms are extremely i uncomfortable . There were no dresser to put clothes in or night stands with lamps. The loft bathroom hot water handle leaked. The lighting in the combination great room and kitchen is poorly laid out. There is no lighting over the sink so trying to do kitchen work at night is very uncomfortable. The stove / oven was not very clean. We had to purchase a can opener because the one provided did not work. No instructions on how to operate the tv. The light bulbs in the basement Bathroom ceiling light fixture were out. We were not notified that some kitchen basics such as napkins, aluminum foil, and Saran Wrap were not provided Overall it’s a nice location and the neighbors friendly.

Great family getaway
The house was perfect. We each had our own level to sleep in. Bed in lower unit too noisy. We were hoping to fish off the dock and did not know lake would be lowered. That was disappointing so we rented a boat. Overall a great place just need to rent earlier in the year.

Read if you’re taking a boat
This is a great location on the main channel about in the middle of the lake. It’s just a short boat ride to Historic Dandridge and Lakeside at the Point. We had some great water for skiing, tubing and more. If you take your own boat be advised that the roads in are very narrow. Just before you get there, Google maps will attempt to send you down Burgundy Dr… DO NOT TAKE BURGUNDY DR! There is a “NO TRUCKS” sign, that means trailers too. It is a single lane road with tight turns. I had to creep through at a crawl and maneuver very carefully to get through. As we were preparing to leave the nice gentleman next door warned me not to take Burgundy Dr… wish I knew that in the way in; if it was in the listing I missed it.

Not a great location, shore filled with debris
The pictures look nice on this house, the home was appropriately stocked, there was lake access & check in was a breeze, parking was directly in front of the house. Many improvements are needed to the home- probably the biggest thing was I knew the water would be down for this time of year- but I was hoping my boys could fish from the shore. The shore & water was covered with debris & trash. The home is not in the greatest neighborhood so I assume that’s where all the trash came from or maybe it floated in - but it needs some serious clean up. You really cannot even walk by the water for all the trash The pillows were like pancakes throughout the house, the furniture was pretty worn & uncomfortable, the bathroom sink faucet leaked all over the counter & the house has no cable or streaming service (you have to stream your own purchased service to the main floor TV) the TV downstairs is not a smart TV so the only option on that one was to watch a provider DVD. See 1 baby roach the whole time - but I had all of our food in refrigerator. 1 baby means more! I would give the house a mixed review.

Nice area
We are familiar with the area, the home is very nice, views are excellent, however the jacuzzi tub was not working during our stay. The bed in the kitchen level master bedroom was uncomfortable and was sunken in the middle. We simply moved to the 3 rd floor, that bed was nice. Overall a good time other than those two issues that were easily worked around. Thanks and see you next year.

Great property! Plenty of space to spread out when we were inside. Stayed in the lake all day and played pool all night. Dock was big enough for a boat and 2 jet skis. Disappointed that the dock slide wasn’t present. Hope to rent it back next year.
