The property was great for us. It would be a little difficult for anyone who struggles with steps. Other than that it is a beautiful and clean home directly on the lake.
5.0 / 5.0
The house was spotlessly clean. The kitchen was the best equipped of any house we have rented, and we have rented many. We also appreciated the large gas grill that was also spotlessly clean. That is not always the case from my past experiences. The area is absolutely quiet, and the view from the house is spectacular. Check in, check out was easy, and communication with the owner was prompt and couteous. 5 stars, perfect for 4 people.

5.0 / 5.0
This house was perfect for our family vacation. The kids loved jumping off the dock, swimming, fishing and kayaking. Along with the beautiful view, the lake and neighborhood were so peaceful. The house was spacious and incredibly clean. It was great! The drive in to Pigeon Forge and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is not too far. We enjoyed spending a couple days of our trip visiting there.

This top-of-the-line deck house has everything you need for a perfect vacation. With two large decks overlooking the lake, you can enjoy stunning views of the water, wildlife, and beautiful sunrises. One of the highlights of my stay was when a hummingbird flew inches from my head - it was a truly unique experience.
The house offers plenty of entertainment options, including ping pong and a pool table. You can also rent boats from several marinas on Cherokee Lake to go fishing or explore its 400+ mile shoreline. We took a pontoon boat tour and even stopped at a marina for ice cream and lunch.
In the evenings, we enjoyed sitting by the fire pit and staying connected with the provided WiFi. The kitchen is fully equipped with every gadget you could need, including two types of coffee makers and a selection of spices for cooking. There are also plenty of towels and hooks for hanging everything up.
Erick and Michele are fantastic hosts who made our stay truly memorable. Thank you for a wonderful vacation!

Dear Eric and Michele, we have really enjoyed our week in your Lake house! It is the most "Immaculate" home we have ever rented so "clean" and the kitchen is well supplied with every kitchen and cooking needs.
You have thought of everything from ample towels and hooks to hang wet towels. The lake is beautiful and the view spectacular! Thanks again for a great week!
P.s. The bathroom is our favorite part of the whole house!

Thank you Michele and Eric for providing such a wonderful and clean home for us to stay in. The area is nice and quiet plus the views are even better than it shows on the listing. We were able to enjoy the water for fishing and kayaking and it is not far from all the excitement in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Hope to see your home again in the future.

We loved our stay here, spacious for 6 adults and clean! Beautiful views and just far enough away from Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. We loved it so much we just may visit yearly.

This was our second time staying at this house. We have thoroughly enjoyed both of our stays. Eric and Michele are fantastic hosts and do an excellent job of maintaining the house. The house was very clean on both of our stays and communication was excellent. The view of the lake is fantastic and we enjoyed watching the birds on the lake in the mornings. We had everything we needed in the kitchen for our visit and the house was very quiet which made for a great night’s sleep. We will definitely be back again!!!
5.0 / 5.0
Lake house was spotless, cozy and offered every amenity we could have asked for - well equipped kitchen to make our own meals, upper and lower decks, one with a fire pit, so we could literally stay outside all day and enjoy the surroundings. There’s a pool table downstairs and comfy couches to curl up with a good book. We didn’t use the kayaks only because life jackets in our size weren’t available, they only had size Large. The only draw back (and honestly, we run into this every time we rent an individual vacation home) is that the highly fragranced detergent everything is laundered in really bothers our allergies and it permeates everything we bring with us. It would be so much nicer if fragrance free detergents and cleaners were used. I hope more hosts will consider switching to fragrance free detergent.

The Strong/Sawyer family would like to thank you all for your hospitality. Our stay has been awesome! The sunrise experience was something that we will remember for the rest of our lives. That is a memorable and heartfelt moment to be part of such a life-changing moment. We will cherish it forever. Spectacular view!
Well stocked kitchen and very clean!

My large family had an absolute beautiful week at Still Waters! The house had every amenity. The kitchen is well appointed and great to cook in, even for large group.

This place was amazing! The view in the morning was fabulous!! Check in was flawless, the house was clean and well taken care of. The game room down stairs was a great bonus. Although the weather was hot the stay was fantastic. The new dock was a great addition. I brought my little 5 hp boat and was able to tie it up at the dock. the lake was a great place to keep cool. The host was very approachable and checked in with us to make sure there were no issues. The only issue we had, (it really wasn't) was with four women we ran out of Toilet paper. (not a big deal we stopped at a quick stop nearby and just got some).
Definitely would stay here again.

Perfect lake rental
The pictures don’t do this property justice, especially the view of the lake, and smoky hills that wrap you up like a big hug from nature.
Lovely lakeside rental w big dock and boat slip. Plenty of marinas to rent a watercraft from, and the property has kayaks for rent. Very friendly owners, and a clean well maintained cabin. See you next year!

Absolutely awesome time!
This home made it so easy to travel! Well stocked with everything you could think of . Excellent clean comfortable beds! House was spotless! I mean there was even a first aid kit! Tons of room with great hang out open kitchen/ living room! Multiple porches , car ports, tvs. The downstairs also had an awesome set up for a whole other couple to have their privacy and both could enjoy the beautiful sunrise over the mountains! Which is worth staying here alone! This home was a pleasure to stay at, very quiet and just enough out of the way to enjoy ourselves but plenty close to any amenities one would need! Will definitely be coming back in the summer!

Quiet With a Great View of the Lake
We enjoyed our stay at this house. We especially enjoyed the view of the lake from this house and being able to watch the sun come up in the mornings. The house was very clean and quiet. The interior has been updated and it had a great layout for our stay. We especially enjoyed the coffee station and we thought this was a nice touch. The kitchen was also well stocked with dishes and cookware. Our grandkids enjoyed playing darts and using the pool table in the basement. Michele was excellent to work with and even contacted us to let us know we had left something behind and she made arrangements to have it picked up by one of our relatives that lives in the area. We really appreciate her doing that and will definitely be back again to stay again at this house!!!

Super clean and amazing views
First and foremost the Host, Michele was friendly, kind and she puts her whole heart into this rental. Just send her a text and she is right on top with a response.
We enjoyed our Staty at Still Waters. The house was very cozy, comfortable, fully stocked kitchen and super clean! Love that they use white sheets and towels so you know it's clean. We had a great weekend and was not far from Dollywood. We will be back this Summer to take advantage of Cherokee Lake and what it has to offer. Thank you Michele and Eric for blessing us with sharing your home.

Home away from home.
This home is nice and clean, is well stocked with everything a person would need, and has a fabulous view. The hosts are very nice and genuinely care that we have a good stay, and I like that they are Christians. The kids loved playing pool and ping pong in the basement. We had a wonderful stay and I would highly recommend this house, Still Waters, to anyone. It's a happy and peaceful place.

We loved our stay! The house has a beautiful view and had everything we needed and also fun things for the kids to do, like pool ping pong, and darts. Everything was super clean and the hosts are very nice. I loved the Christian art and decor and that made me feel comfortable there right away. The beds were very comfy. I would highly recommend staying there.

The owners Michelle and Eric thought of everything! The kitchen had all your needs to cook and grill with things such as crock pots, large pots, pans and spices. The View on both decks was beautiful and so peaceful watching the birds come and go. There is a pontoon dock for those that bring or rent a boat. This was very convenient and close to Gilmore dock so you can fill up your boat with gas. The home is extremely clean comfortable and well-stocked everything in its place and dust free. Thank you Michelle and Eric for blessing us with your beautiful home. We would highly recommend this place!Holly

Eric & Michele thought of every small detail. I cannot say enough good things about our stay. The home was fully furnished with everything you’d need. We appreciated all the extra covers & pillows. The view and water access is excellent. The neighbors were very friendly. The fireworks show the neighborhood put on is as good as any small town July 4th show. Maybe even a little better! We would definitely stay here again. Book today, you won’t be disappointed.
