We had a great time. The location and access to the lake made this a perfect spot for the kids to play and enjoy nature. The rooms worked great for 6 of us. There are a few minor things that could be better. I think there were only 5 spoons in the drawer. Not a huge deal as we had plastic but worth a mention. The lighting around the kitchen isn’t good after sundown. There were numerous shadowed areas that made food prep and cleanup difficult. The sectional smelled of animal urine. The listing clearly states no pets but someone before us must have brought pets. Finally, the dock was not usable. It wasn’t in the water and several calls to inquire were not returned. The water level was high when we were there and every other property had floating docks, so seemed to be a problem with this one specifically. Great location, great setup for families, but a few little updates and deep cleaning of couch would greatly enhance the stay.

Pros: Location and views are amazing. The main floor is very spacious and has ping pong table and Pokémon game console that everyone loved. The kitchen has utensils, glassware etc. Cons: The dock is a disaster. One thing it's not on the water but it looks like a constructions zone with broken cinder blocks all around it. Previous renters left trash and we picked it all up. The house is not being taken care of. A kitchen cabinet was missing a door, there was a hole in the wall in the corner and little things like that bulbs are not in or batteries in the remote not working but the main thing was the sectional in the living room it reeked of urine.

So clean! Everything inside was as described. There were plenty of places for sleeping. Me and 3 kids slept on the couch downstairs! The screened in porch was absolutely the best part! Only thing about the house was it was still under going some updates but it didn’t affect our good time! Thank you for the opportunity to enjoy this beautiful home!

A house this size and price should be checked before people especially the elderly arrive. It’s not handicap accessible especially the bedroom situation where the beds they do have are upstairs. No mention of that anywhere, we’d never stayed if I had known none were located down. The first issue was no working kitchen lights and when I messaged the manager I was made to feel like I was an idiot for not knowing how to switch a light on. I told her it had a remote there and it could go with the ceiling fan but that too wasn’t working and she said no, that wasn’t it, it has to be on the wall. So we used the oven light till she sent a person over the next day and come to find out it was ran by the remote. Each time I messaged her Which was only about serious problems, not about missing light bulbs, spider webs and cheap red wash cloths that bled into the white towels which we tried our best to keep apart from one another. We noticed the downstairs was so much colder than the upstairs and we had to put our two 85 year old mothers down there with the issue being one has leukemia and can’t do stairs and the other just had a knee replacement. So we used some blankets that were on beds upstairs to warm them down. I never mentioned that because she made us feel like she kept saying “I’ve never had any complaints” each time I did mention something. But the real kicker was we never had any hot water till the next to last day, which she also didn’t believe me. Yes it too had broken down.

The pictures and description of this place do not do it justice. The view of the lake is gorgeous. Pros: 1. Amazing lake views with a big porch and fire pits. It’s quiet and peaceful. There is a great sunrise view from the big bedroom. 3. It’s big. There is a queen in one bedroom, the other has two queens and two cots. There is a second sitting room with tv upstairs. 4. It’s clean. NO weird smells. 5. Pacman is fun (of course)! 6. Don’t be frightened by the lengthy rental agreement. There were soaps, hotel-shampoos, and more than one roll of toilet paper. :D 7. The kitchen has a crockpot and plenty of pots and pans. Cons: 1. Lake water levels are low in the fall/winter months, so there is no dock access then. 2. There is a steep drop off from the yard to the water so be careful with children or people with special needs. 3. There is a 5 or 10-degree temperature difference from downstairs to upstairs. In the winter, the downstairs floor is cold so bring your warm socks. 4. There is no dishwasher or washer/dryer (as of Nov 2023). 5. The main TV is massive and sits right behind the dining table. FYI - there is a weird gate right before you reach the house that you need to drive around.

The view and fun in the water was great! There was a pingpong table and an arcade game which made for great fun when we were inside! The beds are absolutely awful, but beds are never great when on vacation! Overall, I absolutely recommend staying here! We've been to Gatlinburg several times. This is hands down the best place we've stayed. We will be back! A few things to note: 1) The key box is ON the porch. I was struggling at night to find it and since there isn't a house number on the building that I could see, we were nervous to just walk on the porch without knowing for sure it was the right place. Not a big deal, just something to keep in mind. 2) Be careful at night!! There was a bear on the porch one night. Since it's close to the water and not near much civilization, that's to be expected. But just make sure you're being careful to not spook a bear at night. If outside at night, just keep your head on a swivel to be safe.

This was a short getaway to distress, for me and my daughter and her two Teenage boys. It was perfect location. The serene water of the lake was very relaxing. And the boys enjoyed swimming in the water and going kayaking. Also, I wasn’t short drive to pigeon Forge and some of the smoky mountain attractions. The boys enjoyed the Arcade type games located in the Great room of the mountain/Lakehouse.

We had a good time .Will be planning to stay again.Would like to plan a stay with a downstairs bathroom and bedroom little more handicap accessible for me .Overall everything was great.
