This property provided a beautiful and comfortable place for out of town family and friends to gather together to celebrate the life of my recently departed mother. The owners were very accommodating when some of our family arrived a couple of hours early, and they offered us a complimentary late checkout without our needing to ask. Everyone there complimented us on what a beautiful location we had chosen. The truth is we had asked the owners about the suitability of another one of their properties, and they promptly replied and redirected us to this one. We were concerned that it might be difficult for people to find, but in the age of smart phones and gps navigation, everyone made it without incident. The young children absolutely loved the tic-tac-toe blocks that were out on the table - I'm surprised none of them got lost! Overall it was a great experience at a difficult time in our family's lives.

This house (and accompanying cottage) became our “home away from home”. We are a large family & everyone is spread out geographically. All the siblings are married and there are 15 grandchildren from ages 1- 23! Getting together under one roof is a challenge. I organized our trip in September 2021 and the house I’d booked in Gatlinburg was sold and our reservation was not honored- we didn’t find out until September 2022. By that time, houses that would fit our large family had been booked for Thanksgiving. I expanded my search outside of Tennessee…and BAM! I found this gem. I knew it was the one for us when I saw it (also, the backdrop was gorgeous). I immediately messaged the owners and got a swift reply. In fact, they were quick to respond anytime I contacted them. Also, this house is decorated beautifully! And we were very comfortable hanging out, playing games, and watching TV in the main living area- all 30 of us! The outdoor spaces were well used going for walks, enjoying a bonfire, playing games, and relaxing in the hot tub. The kids under 8 years old had room to run and a great playground to entertain them. I feel like the Cedar Bluff area is a hidden gem! Just a quietly beautiful area; undisturbed by heavy tourism, and with easy access to shopping and restaurants. This thanksgiving wouldn’t have happened if it weren’t for this house and the wonderful people who own and manage it. Thank you for the memories!

We loved the property and entire stay. We are considering renting at the same time next year. Everything was nice clean and roomy. This was a very family friendly home

The house was perfectly clean and had everything we needed. It was a huge plus that every full size bedroom had their own full bathroom and that the bunk beds weren’t actual bunk beds but full sized so it fit 2 couples on them. The communication was always fast, pleasant, and clear. We loved our stay! It couldn’t have been any better!

We brought a group of 20 young adults for a retreat and this well exceeded our expectations! The pictures genuinely don’t even do it justice to how beautiful the house and views are. Very spacious and perfect layout. So many little touches that many probably don’t even notice - but as a fellow wedding venue owner, we noticed!! The owners were so easily accessible, reached out many times to make sure we didn’t need anything, and went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. The very same day we checked out, we booked for next year and added an extra night! You will not regret staying here!

Everything was as described. Great location, beautiful views, very well stocked with everything you need to host a large group. The owner’s responded to any questions immediately. We enjoyed our stay here more than any other Vrbo we have rented. I highly recommend this beautiful home.

We love this place. It is perfect for our family. The days on the lake with the kids playing in the water are precious memories we hope they hold a lifetime. We did family pictures there this year and they were great. We will be back again next year, already booked.

The magnolia house was better than we imagined! We had a wonderful time! Our hosts were on the spot ready to take care of our questions or concerns.

We had our family vacation at the Magnolia House. We rented the pontoon boat to enjoy tubing in the water. This kept the kids extremely happy. At night, we played corn hole, ping pong, cooked out, and laughed a lot. There is a hot tub for your enjoyment, also. It was the best family vacation ever for us.

We were very impressed it met or exceeded our expections. The facilities are well maintained and accomodating. Everyone from the ages of 4 to 70 said they would enjoy a return stay.

Wonderful rental for our large family group. We added the Rose Cottage after the first night to give our group of 36 a few more private bedrooms for the remainder of the weekend. The owner also facilitated the rental of his pontoon boat. The property manager and boat’s navigation system made our experience both safe and enjoyable.

This was a wonderful place with every need anticpated by the owners! I would Highly recommend the property!

Lots of fun on the lake boating, skiing, tubing. Beautiful home & beautiful spot on the lake!

My husband and I rented this property for our wedding and all we can say is … WOW. The home is absolutely beautiful and the lake is to die for. We had an blast and Dave and Ann made sure our stay was perfect! We can’t wait to visit in the future.

We recently had our wedding at this venue and it couldn’t have gone any better! The owners were very quick to respond and were very helpful during the planning process and the property couldn’t have been better. The outdoor areas of the property, the rooms inside the house, and the views of the surrounding area were gorgeous. They had everything we could possibly need and the staff was on hand for anything else we needed. I would definitely recommend this venue for a wedding, or just a getaway retreat! It was perfect!!

We used this property for our wedding and turned it into a weekend long event. This place could not have been more perfect for a fall wedding. The views were incredible, the temperature was just right, the magnolias gave us amazing lighting for photos and between the two properties on the lot, there was plenty of space for all of our guests to feel comfortable and enjoy their stay. Any of our needs for the actual wedding itself were responded to quickly and handled right away. I have no complaints of any kind and anyone lucky enough to book this place for their wedding is getting a dream venue for a steal. Will absolutely be coming back.

The property is fantastic. The owners are great. The home is amazing!

My daughter was married here with 50 friends and family. Rented in August, outdoor wedding at 2pm and reception starting at 4pm. The outdoor seating area is very comfortable, shaded in the afternoon, and eight overhead fans made it a great time with friends and family. You may feel like you are in the middle of nowhere, but the great thing about this lake house, is that you are out in the middle of nowhere. It's all yours to enjoy.

Great house with lots of outdoor gathering spaces and a great beach and dock area. Well stocked kitchen and lots of nice extras like the industrial ice machine. I brought an inboard ski boat down and was able to load in and out on the ramp but the water is very shallow in the cove. If you plan on skiing or tubing off the dock on a inboard/ V-drive ski boat, it’s probably not ideal (about 4-5’ in spots like the owner notes in the description) but about half a mile down stream you pick up the channel and have ample water depth. Still worked out OK for us, just means a little longer boat ride to get started. On the flip side, the cove is very quiet, not much boat traffic at all given the depths.

From the first minute to the last this was by far the best family vacation we have ever done. The house is beautiful and the grounds are gorgeous. The host provide just about everything you need except your food and clothes. We had 11 adults and 7 children in our group and the house was prefect for us. Six of the children are under 4 and they loved the outside patios to play on, that along with having the swallow area at the boat dock made for a fun week for them. The lake is beautiful and there was no one out on the water most of the time we were there. We water skied and tubed until everyone was exhausted. Adults in the group loved all the outside seating and the large living room for social time after the children were in bed. I was in charge of food preparation and I can honestly say it was the best stocked kitchen I have ever had in a vacation rental. We cooked all of our meals there. There is a Piggly Wiggly in Cedar Bluff for quick pick ups if you need anything but we got a Walmart pickup order on Monday afternoon after we arrived. The host will even provide you with a service number for someone to pickup your food order if you need that, we picked our own up. With all of that said, we are booked again next year for the same week. Everyone in the group voted after the second day to come back here next year. Can't wait to see what the host dream up to add for next year.

We got married with 30 of our family at the Magnolia House and it was the best week of our lives. The house was AMAZING and PERFECT and BEAUTIFUL in every way. I don't even know where to begin. There were 32 of us, yet there were so many beds, everyone got a comfy place to sleep. The outside area with the covered pergola allowed us to hang out in the fresh air even during rain and we were dry and comfy. And the kitchen... we only catered two nights, so we had to feed all 32 of us for the full week, and the kitchen was large and well equipped. There was an extra fridge and freezer in the garage just a few steps away. We also had access to extra furniture, including white table linens, chairs, tables, and all sorts of decor (little lanterns, too!) that made the wedding so special. There is now a hot tub, which the kids loved. Also, the sand volleyball court. And the dock on the lake and the boat! The place comes with a boat (extra charge, but the boat is RIGHT THERE for you at your own dock). The boat was really the main hit, and we took it out every single day. Finally, Dave and Ann responded to every text and also made sure an additional person was on standby in case we needed anything; so, we had at least two contacts. On day one, we realized we forgot coffee and they brought us some within minutes. Perfection! We booked the adjacent Rose Cottage as well for four extra bedrooms, three baths, and another full kitchen. We celebrated two birthdays there towards the end of our trip and all 32 of us fit just fine in the living room/kitchen area for the party. It's just a few steps from the main house! We cannot say enough about how wonderful Magnolia House was. If you are considering a gathering of family and/or friends for a celebration or just a big vacation, go to this place. You will never forget it!

We arrived a couple of hours earlier traveling from Louisiana with several of our elderly family members. We parked across the street in the parking lot from the Magnolia and were greeted by Chris. He informed us that it was early and they had a few things that needed to be taken care of but as soon as they were done he would get us checked in. We told him know worries we would just enjoy the scenery until then. The host from began to the end kept me posted on everything. One of the days we were there it rained she text some activities that we could do. I have stayed some many places and this place tops them all, every need was met and this home was accommodating for our 89 year old to our 20 year old. The pictures does not do this place any justice seeing it in person is so breathe taking. Posting pictures of our family vacation I had many people asking about Magnolia and that it looks so peaceful and relaxing......That's exactly what it is. Would love to have just a ladies vacation here. At this home you only needed to bring clothes

Excellent!! This property and the owners were both the best experience we’ve had in all our years of renting properties for various occasions! Excellent communication with the owners, beautiful property, clean as a whistle, fully stocked with everything you could think of and more! Couldn’t have been more pleased and would highly recommend to anyone!

I cannot rave enough about this property and it’s owners. Our annual family reunion was a great success in large part due to both! Our family voted unanimously that this house was the best we’ve ever stayed at in the 14 years that we’ve been vacationing together. The cleanliness and attention to detail, the home, the grounds…..PERFECT! Thank you Dave!!!

I think our 5 star rating across all categories says it all. From the location, to the property on down to the owners everything was top notch. We had a large family reunion over a 4 day period and to be honest we were worried about space. Between the Rose Cottage and Magnolia House we were able to accommodate everyone with relative ease. Communication was easy and response was always prompt. In my opinion, they even went above and beyond as the ice maker was out of service so they made sure the deep freeze stayed full of bags of ice. I would highly recommend this property and we definitely plan on enjoying another great experience at the Magnolia House. Thanks so much to Dave and Ann for sharing this little slice of heaven!

This is a beautiful venue and place to stay. The owners are so friendly and the property manager did everything we asked super quickly. We loved our stay and our wedding day!!

So many of our wedding guests and those viewing our photos have commented on this beautiful venue. It’s unique with lots of charm and modern amenities. The price is reasonable considering everything that is included and that your whole wedding party can stay on site. The hosts have really thought of everything you might need. Huge ice maker. Extra pillows/bedding. Fans in every bedroom. The sheets and linens were plush and smelled freshly bleached. The hosts were helpful and easy to reach. When we had an issue with some of the air conditioning units, the problem was fixed within an hour. I’d love to return for a family vacation or event.

My husband and I had our wedding here in January and it was absolutely perfect. Our family and wedding party stayed with us and had plenty of room. Everyone loved the house and the view! Our wedding pictures turned out absolutely stunning. We will definitely be coming back to stay here again!

So much to do inside and out. Can’t say enough about how well kept and clean this house is! We had a weekend retreat with 26 of us and almost had too much room! I would absolutely recommend Your Big Lake House!

Wonderful house with awesome patio area.

This was a great property to bring high school students (16-18 yr. olds) for a retreat - but it would be great for any age. The house is beautiful and the owners really thought of everything! The view of the lake from the front yard is wonderful. Other guests were renting the back property but with the setup, we were never in each other's spaces and definitely didn't feel like we were on top of each other which was great. Communication with the owners was fantastic (and speedy!) as well. As far as activities go, there is no shortage of good hiking and sightseeing in the area. Definitely recommend this property.

This house was perfect for our group of 5 families (24 people). The house is unique and has tons of character and charm. The home also has all the modern comforts and conveniences. We enjoyed the days on the Lake Weiss and the evenings around the fire pit or backyard playing games. It was a good location for us to take day trips for white water rafting and Rappelling with TAS in Little River Canyon. Overall the house is everything you would expect and more. Family and Friends experience on Lake Weiss at Magnolia House was awesome
