We had a great time. The house was very comfortable and had all the amenities you would need. There is a lot to do in the area. We relaxed, pontooned, fished, went into Gatlinburg area, etc. Hanging around the dock was the highlight. The kayaks are right there to use. Caught some largemouth and bluegills. The hosts were very friendly and attentive.

Cabin was very nice and clean. Hosts were very quick in communications. Area is very nice. And the weather was perfect!!!

My family of 8 adults visited Smoke Rise Barn during Sept. 2023. It is an excellent property. It was clean and well stocked. Nice amenities. We very much liked the location. It is quiet, situated on the lake in a scenic rural area yet convenient to Dollywood, Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, Dandridge, & Bush's Baked Bean Museum & Cafe. We knew the lake would be down at this time of year but we were still able to fish and enjoy pontoon rides on the lake. I can see where a trip during the summer when the water is up and you can swim and boat would be great. There's water toys, a nice dock and deck to facilitate this. We particularly enjoyed sitting around the fire pit during the evening. The hosts were attentive and responsive to any questions we had. I recommend this property. However, if you have an issue with stairs you may need to consider all the bedrooms are upstairs. We knew this going in so was not a surprise. (One member has problems with stairs but managed nicely and enjoyed her stay.) There is also ample parking for a large group. We had 4 vehicles and a Jon boat & trailer. Parking was not tight. One of my family members is already planning to book a trip during the summer. Thank you, Dawn & Michael for a great stay. Note: You may not think it worthwhile to visit, but the Bush's Baked Beans Museum & Cafe is a must see. Their employees are friendly/welcoming. It's located in a beautiful area, the museum is interesting, plus the cafe food is reasonable and good.

This was our second time here and we truly love this location. My kids begged me to rent it again. We were sad not to see the corn hole but still had a great time! I am sure we will be back!! They really have everything you need for a nice time away.

My family stayed at The Barn for a long weekend getaway. Everyone had an amazing time. The house is perfect with all the amenities you would need. The property owners were so friendly and fast to respond to any questions we had. The cove is a short walk from the house and is so secluded and beautiful. The owners also provide kayaks and other fun water floats! I would definitely recommend this property for a relaxing getaway.

Dawn/Scott were outstanding hosts, always very helpful, courteous and very kind. Barn/house is very accommodating, has everything you need for the week. Lake was amazing, dogs loved jumping off the dock. We did get to use the boat for couple days, although it was not running right, we still got to run around take it to a cove for the dogs to play in the water. All in all it was a great trip to the Smokey Mountains, we’d definitely go back. Thank you

We stayed at the barn for a family get together. We were seven adults and one child. The place worked great for us and the dock access to the lake added to the experience. It was a wonderful family time!

First I want to say that the hosts are probably the nicest and most considerate that I’ve rented from in all my years of using these sites. They are quick to answer any questions, the welcome email was very informative and helped us with some great hiking spots we wouldn’t have otherwise found, the place is well stocked with just about anything you could need, etc. The place itself is amazing. Quiet but not boring even as we were rained in most of our stay. It was so nice to come back to the isolated little barn house after a day dealing with the crowds in Gatlinburg that’s for sure. While the lake wasn’t completely full while we were there, we were still able to catch some fish and the dogs loved being able to splash around and explore in the shallower water. I could definitely see it being an even more amazing experience with the full lake so it’s worth coming back for that. Overall this place is a 10/10!
