We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the lake fun and nearby attractions! Our group included 6 adults, 2 teens and 2 kiddos. The cove is beautiful and the lake is inviting every day. Caught some fish from the dock, paddled, swam and floated around the lake, made a few trips to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, and rented a boat from a nearby place. Owner was prompt and friendly in answering all questions. The hill is for real but it made for some fun and kept us in shape.

Family get away

Let me preface by saying that the owners were notified once during our stay at this property and once on our way home. I received a response during our stay, but it has now been 2 weeks since we've left and I've still not heard a word back in regards to my final message. So, time for a review. The view and the amenities; paddle board, kayak, dock, and hot tub are the only reasons I'm giving this property a 3 star review. My friends and I came here for a girls weekend, and that's what we had. However, the cleanliness of the home could be much improved. This house didn't feel like home at all. There were cobwebs and living spiders in the corners of the rooms and we had a horrible ant problem in the kitchen and upstairs bathroom. I notified the owners regarding the ant issue, since they were on counters where our food was at, and was asked to call their housekeeping person to come by. For multiple reasons, I did not make that phone call; primarily because I'm a renter and that should not be responsibility. The girls and I figured we could deal with the ants and take care of them as we saw them, but by day 3 of our stay they had made their way into each of the 4 vehicles that were parked outside. We had to go to the store to get ant traps so we could drive home the next day. They really were that bad! In my final message to the owners after our stay, and without response, I let them know that overall we enjoyed our stay but had the following concerns: The house was full of cobwebs and spiders. The drain in one of the showers wouldn't drain appropriately and kept backing up with water. Not a huge deal, although I felt the need to make this known since there are dozens of signs and notes posted throughout the house regarding 'fines' if they have plumbing issues. The coffee pot was missing from the kitchen. Also, not the end of the world and we were fine improvising. I wouldn't have necessarily addressed any of these concerns in a review, but the owners were given adequate time to respond to my message and just chose not to. I thought being an owner that they would appreciate any feedback to make future stays more enjoyable, but apparently not. As I mentioned before, the amenities are what made this stay enjoyable, but the lack of response from the owners, the dirty house, and signs everywhere that made us feel on edge that we would be fined for literally anything, were enough to sway my friends and I to never stay here again.

It was a great place to stay for our family..the kids love the lake and it was a good time for everyone..

The house was very nice and it’s a beautiful setting on the lake! The setup was nice. The kids played pool and the hot tub was situated so we had a great view of the lake! Check-in was extremely easy and the owners were extremely accommodating. They let us check in early which was very helpful! If you want peace and quiet this is a great house. It was a little far from town but that’s on us, I didn’t pay attention to the location from town. Overall it was a nice stay and we had a great time!

The mountain roads getting there were eye awaking. So, warning. However, the property was beautiful. The Chester’s have thought about everything. Rented a boat, and the lake was amazing! Enjoyed the kayaks. Made large, throw down meals. Kinda missed the working blender, but no worries. We made do just fine. Enjoyed sunsets on the back porch. Justin was so great to talk with. Provided great tips. Wish I could share photos. Would love to stay here again.

We stayed here last year and enjoyed it very much. Several of us enjoyed the kayaks to explore the lake. I just enjoyed the peace and tranquillity of the lake and surroundings.

The house was very clean & spacious. Beautiful view of the lake, lots of windows. Nice deck area on 2nd story out back. Plenty of towels, beds were comfy. Fans and air conditioning worked great. A couple things that in no means would stop us from staying here again. - there was only 1 dish towel and 1 pot holder in the kitchen - 3 of the 4 bedrooms had closets (the king bedroom had no closet) but no hangers (yes there are dressers in each bedroom), They really could use a luggage holder esp in the 4th bedroom w/out a closet. - the bedrooms are dark, 1 overhead light with a fan & 1 lamp on 1 nightstand. Could use night stands on each side of the bed with a lamp instead of just 1 side. - the upstairs LR area could use more lighting by the couches. There was not enough light to read by with just the over head lighting. - could maybe use another fridge downstairs, with as many people as this house holds the 1 fridge got filled up fast. Overall a wonderful place to stay.
