About this house rental
Relax and renew at this TN River retreat conveniently located on Watts Bar with close proximity to Tellico, Kingston, Knoxville, and Rockwood. This newer craftsman-style home is nestled on the Tennessee River in rural, peaceful Loudon, Tn. This gorgeous home offers a spacious layout with 3200 sq. ft. and sleeps up to 12 guests. It is perfect for a family vacation or a romantic getaway, and with a private dock, it is perfect for fun in the sun.
This two-level home offers 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, plus an additional sleeping nook downstairs. There are also 2 pullout couches if more sleeping space is needed. On the first level, you will find two exquisite master suites with king-size beds and master baths that include luxurious, oversized, his and her tile showers. Each bedroom has entry to the back deck that has a large screened-in area with ample seating for all to sit and enjoy the beautiful scenery. All throughout the house, there are hardwood and tile floors that make for easy clean-up, and a full laundry room to ready your swimwear and clothes for another day of leisure and recreation.
No matter the season, there is year-round water for great fishing and various fishing tournaments with access to the property's private boat dock. Boat owners are welcome to put their craft in just down the road at the public boat ramp and tie up at the home's boat dock at the end of the day. Skip the time-consuming chore of going to town to buy fuel, because a new fueling station is just a short distance away, located at the marina of the Tennessee National Golf Course. Golfing is not the only available activity nearby. You can also conveniently explore Turkey Creek shopping in Knoxville or visit the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Additionally, local restaurants, grocery stores, and other small town attractions are all just a few minutes drive away.
Additional amenities include a gas grill, fireplace in the upstairs living room, and an outdoor fire pit. Each living area and bedroom has a television with satellite cable. The private boat dock is stocked with paddleboards, floats, and rafts to add even more fun to your experience.
This home is a true escape you will not want to leave!

Plenty to do on-site, tons of room for outdoor activities and a overall great stay for fishing with boat rentals right down at the marina
4.7
The house was great for renting a boy at the nearby marina and docking it to stop for lunch and breaks from a day on the water. Plenty of space for our family. Everyone enjoyed their time here.

6 adults had a fantastic time at the lake house. We had a couple of minor things come up but the owner was very quick to reply and made sure we were satisfied with his response. House was a little difficult to find, as there is a new home being built off the same driveway and we got confused at first. The hill to the water is steep. A lot of time spent on the screened in back porch! Perfect for what we needed it for.

Very nice property. The screened in porch was our favorite spot overlooking the Tennessee river.

This was a great place for our family to be together. The house was very clean and the owner was a delight to work with. We will remember this house.

Good Stay, plenty of room. Boat Dock was a huge success for fishing and swimming. Family loved the back deck. Garage should have been cleaner. Weeds needs to be cut. Last guess at your place never took the garbage to the road. Both red cans were full when we got there. We took their garbage and ours to the road at top of the hill. Overall very pleased with our stay. Would like to stay again someday,

Beautiful home and perfectly located in Loudon near plenty of stores.. driveway is a tad steep and walk to the water is also steep but overall one of the nicest cabins we have rented and i rent quite often. Beautiful view of the water and nice large dock on the water. Would definitely rent this again

Nice vacation spot if you are looking for something on the river and close to nice golf courses. My friends enjoyed time down by the river, and on the back balcony.

Nice, spacious, and private house with a concrete drive/walkway to the lake. We had a great family vacation and would stay here again.
4.7
We had a great time at the property. The main living level is nice because it has two master bedrooms with attached bathrooms and an additional powder room.
The basement sleeping arrangements are unusual. On bed space does t have a door and the the other room has three beds in it. It worked for our college age children because they don’t require much privacy yet.
We used the paddle boards and the owner was very helpful making sure the paddles arrived so we could experience paddle boarding on the lake.
The hill down to the water is very steep and could be difficult for anyone elderly or with knee problems etc.
We would recommend this property to anyone wanting a lake week in Eastern TN.
Thank you for sharing g your home Joe.

Overall we had a great experience. One issue came up with the a/c but the owner was very responsive and had it resolved quickly. Only feedback would be the outdoor seating areas could use cleaning regularly prior to guests staying. The inside was spotless and everything in the description was accurate. We truly enjoyed our visit and would stay here again in the future!
Thank you Joe.

Tennessee wedding trip.
The house was amazing, all descriptions are accurate. We had between 4 and 12 people depending on the day and we had plenty of room and privacy.
We had one hiccup, that being the water heater died on the second day. Pretty big hiccup and I thought maybe give 4 stars but the owner handled it very well. While we did have to take cold showers for the wedding he was very responsive and had his manager come out to check that day and managed to get a plumber out on a Saturday morning. I can’t blame him for the breakdown, things happen. His response was fast and he did the best he could.
Wish the weather had been better and we could have enjoyed the fire pit and dock area. Both are lovely. We did enjoy the screened in porch both in the mornings and evenings.
Would 100% recommend and stay again!
Thanks Joe!

Couples Golf Get A Way
We enjoyed our stay at this property. It was spacious and offered a variety of amenities. We did not use the outdoor fireplace as it was located down a steep walkway. There were no chairs and the firepit was filled with leaves and cans. Outdoor decks were also covered with leaves. Both the indoor and outdoor furnishings are getting tired and need to be replaced. The house was clean and we had a good time.
4.7
Awesome river front property! The boat traffic was minimal.
My freinds and I came together to reunite and relax while having a good time on the water.
The home is very nice! The furnishings are getting a little tired but it is rental. I'm sure there is a reason the furnishings are low quality. I'm sure in this environment people are ruff on furnishings.

Could have been a 10, but a major disappointment
This house must be new to the rental market as it was no where near ready for anyone, and does not have many of the common items you expect in a home for 12-15 (description differs). The pictures in the ad must have been some time ago.
We arrived to find an unclean house, and had to re-wash all the linens as we were unsure they had been changed - the beds were in disarray, and wet towels were in the dryer; dishes in the dishwasher too. A dirty blanket (had twigs and leaves on it like it had been used outside) and a blood-stained pillow were found on one bed; hair was found in one of the showers. Doors & windows were unlocked, so it seemed like someone had left and not secured the property. The kitchen was lacking simple things like a can opener (we had to buy one) and storage containers needed for a family. Same with dresser space - there were only a couple of drawers in 2 rooms and like 10 hangers in the entire place. The doorknob came off the hall closet on first pull, and the under-counter corbel was on the counter when we arrived, broken. There were no paper towels, but mostly not a stitch of toilet paper was there on our arrival. After our first fierce rain, the downstairs window leaked onto the bedding and bed - judging by the water stains, this was not the first time. The downstairs bath's faucet leaked all over the counter each time the water was turned on. Also not in the listing is just how steep this driveway is and the cement drive down to the dock - it's really not suitable for young children at all. The "garage" playroom with foosball had empty beer cans around, and leaves/debrie blown into the space making it very messy, unappealing and was not like the picture at all - we did not use it.
The owner fielded all my concerns and reports to him, but really, when you are paying top dollar in a state you have never visited, you expect so much more.
This house is in a great location, has many nice features and finishes, and the views from the deck and dock are one-of-a-kind; we observed many a beautiful sunset there. However, all and all, it needs major TLC and to add many of the basic items people need during a family vacation. Cleanliness for future guests needs improvement and verification.
As I said, could have been a 10, but it was sort of a dud. If improvements and corrections are made, I would support its location and size for a large family staying in the area.

Great location and space for family to get away! Fishing off the dock, and watching the sun set is what we needed.
Bit low on paper supplies (toilet/paper towels), but nothing a quick run to town couldn’t remedy and joe offered to reimburse.
Would stay again!
4.7
Plenty of space for 7 of us. The dock was easy access, but is very very steep.
Your own camp chairs are suggested.
Master shower was great and multiple access doors to outside throughout was nice.
Boats have to be tied on side of dock, the slip is occupied. The front knocks the boat around too much when a wake comes in. This blocks getting on and out of the water easily. But using the boat ladder was an option.

This is a great river location. I would stay again and recommend.
Issues were: a little untidy outside upon arrival. The shower in the bath above the garage was VERY slow to drain leaving you in standing water during shower. Could use a small trash can in bath above garage.There was an iron available but no ironing board.

Loved this house! It was perfect for a family Thanksgiving and big enough to house all the groomsmen for our son's wedding! The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well appointed, and we loved the screened in porch overlooking the river! Would totally recommend to others.
