We are definitely coming back for another visit. The lake is perfect but the water was super low, which is out of anyones control. Everything we needed was available. There was a minor hiccup in a representation of the property but when addressed, via email, there was a quick response, resolve and offer of inconvenience reimbursement. There is also a slight upgrade, as the photos show the Lookout is carpeted, but now has nice flooring, which I absolutely loved !! I would just recommend getting everything you need before you get to the cabin. The closest supermarket is around 30 minutes away. There is a very convenient Deli just outside the community entrance that offers the little things you may need. We are so happy with the stay, I am ready for our summer trip and taking the kayaks out !

The few days my wife and I spent at the lookout we're perfect. It's a comfortable space with all the essentials (plenty of cooking equipment and amenities) and a great view down over the Lake Norris river extensions. Communication with the property owner was excellent and reassuring. Would love to visit again!

Well stocked, well kept location. Great views, peaceful, no complaints!

We enjoyed our stay very much. The place was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed including a dock. We were able to rent a boat and have it delivered right to the property. The owners called the check on us and make sure we had everything we needed. A few things to be aware of: - no bathrooms towels or washcloths are included - you have to bring your own and there’s no way to wash them so if you’re staying long, this could be an issue - the walk to the lake/dock is VERY steep. We are in our early 40’s and physically fit. We were able to do it but were completely out of breath when we got to the top and taking a large cooler was a challenge - the dock is not attached to the steps - there’s a significant gap of lake in between. We had to pull the dock closer with the ropes and then leap onto it. Some people may not be able to do this. Having said all that, we would definitely stay again and think it’s a great place. But, people age 60+ or overweight may struggle if using the dock or walking to the lake.

Great cozy place for a small family, needs a few minor updates with maintenance and could benefit from adding a washer/dryer for guests. Overall I was very pleased with our stay and very likely to visit again!

This little property is adorable!!! It was me and two of my sisters and the space was perfect. It was so nice having our own dock as well. Close to the tiki bae and it was very clean and well decorated. Would definitely stay here again!

Location was perfect. We had wi fi but couldn’t call out. Perfect for being left alone and relaxing. Loved every minute of it!!

What a great getaway for a couple. It was the perfect break together! Highly recommend!

Beautiful home with views of the lake and mountains. If you need to decompress, this place will do the trick. FYI a rental boat delivered to the private dock was the icing on the cake.

We had a wonderful, relaxing stay! Beautiful, comfortable house, kitchen well-equipt and everything was very clean. View from patio is gorgeous. The owners are very friendly and quick to respond to any question. We spent 3 nights and learned a lot about the area. Downtown Knoxville was a lot of fun, even with it being graduation weekend! Everyone we met was very friendly and helpful. Keep in mind it is a bit of a curvy drive to property, but the drive is gorgeous and we were constantly seeing groups of deer. We look forward to returning to the area.

Me and my wife had a wonderful early spring trip. The lookout was very clean and had all of the essentials. We didn't get to enjoy the lookout as much as we would've liked due to traveling a lot. But overall it was a great place to stay and the property owners called and checked in with us and made sure we had everything we needed. Great place to getaway!

The Rays are delightful, knowledgeable, and responsive property owners. They are so friendly and helpful to out-of-towners! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Lakeside Lookout! We highly recommend it to you! Most of the restaurants and activities open April 01, so bear that in mind when you book!

This is a super place if you are looking for a remote getaway on the water. The cottage is lovely with a great view and recent upgrades. The landlords were friendly. We had a quiet and peaceful few days!

First and foremost the pictures, although gorgeous, does not do the property justice. The views are absolutely breath taking. My wife and I took our kids (12 and 9 years old) to this property as a getaway that hopefully involved snow. We had two days of snow when we first arrived and the kids were in awe. The snow really does enhance the beauty. The cabin itself is very nice, perfect for a family of four or smaller. The beds were very comfortable, the balcony is amazing, the shower was nice an hot. Everything about this property is comfort. Steven was an absolute pleasure to deal with. I've rented other properties before and have been lucky with property owners but Steven is an absolute gem and stands out above them all. On more than one occasion he went above and beyond to make sure our stay was a pleasant one and I can't say enough about him. A couple of suggestions if you plan on staying here. If you are looking for a place where you can get away from the world and put the phone down, then look no further. There is a nice tv there with some decent local channels but I suggest bring a couple of DVDs and having a movie night. Bring a book. This is the perfect place to get in some reading and just relax. There are a couple of board games at the cabin but bring some more. Also, it takes about 20 minutes to get to the guard shack from the cabin so you may want to pick up some groceries before going to the cabin. Do yourself a favor and take a short 40 minute drive to the local Dam. It is amazing! If you need a super comfortable place to relax and get away, do yourself a favor and book this place. I'm already looking forward to staying here next year!

This is an amazing weekend get away spot, we will be back. We stayed earlier this month (10.05.2020). Steve and Kathy were amazing to work with and the property was as described, very clean. If you are looking for a weekend to check out this is the place. It is SO peaceful and beautiful. We saw a lot of deer and Bald Eagles. It comes with everything you need except towels, make sure you bring your own. The walk to the water is a little steep but not bad and you get your own private swim dock. There are two beds but little privacy as the loft over looks the master bed room below but it worked perfectly for us. It is very remote with little wi-fi signal and no phone signal (I have AT&T). The WAZE APP got us there the whole way but make sure to print the directions as it is very remote and not all map APPs will work. Also, don't make the mistake we did, stock up on everything before going, it is only 12 miles to town but those 12 miles takes about 30-45 mins to drive due to the curvy narrow roads.

Beautiful location. Relaxing, stress free vacation. Limited cell service was a complete positive to the trip......our jobs could not reach us! Water was peaceful and the trees were so colorful this time of the year.

Lakeside Lookout is a great place for a couple, the view is fantastic and the studio is very comfortable. We stayed for a long weekend, I worked from the deck two mornings and my husband worked from The kitchen table one morning. There are some previous comments about poor internet, so Steve looked into alternate places for us to work, but it was not necessary. Would definitely recommend!

The property was simply fantastic. We loved the privacy of the cottage and very much enjoyed the lake. The owners are very quick to respond to your needs. We could not have asked for a better experience.

Everything was great.quite area, Everything you need is in the house.The we're very helpful and quick response. A+

Lakeside Lookout is perfect for a couple's getaway. Cottage is nicely furnished and has all the amenities. King-sized bed was very comfortable. Views from cottage deck were peaceful. The walk down to the lake is more complicated than provided in the description. Though paved, the path to the dock requires sure-footing and leg strength. Also there are no handrails at the steps which could be a concern for some.

Romantic getaway! Great view of the lake. When you sit out on the overlook you feel secluded. The place was neat and clean. Highly recommend getting up early at least one morning to watch the lake come alive as the sun creeps over it. There are a few close Marina's if you decide to rent a boat. The jumping bridge is not far. If you drink something other than beer or wine I highly recommend stocking up enough. The owner was very responsive to every question and provided thorough information. Highly recommend this place!

As listed. Great location with the basic necessities provided. Steve was very communicative and prompt. Would stay again.

It’s one room so not the biggest but nice. The WiFi was horrible but it kept the kids off their phone which was a plus. All in all it was clean and the AC worked good! We spend most of our time on the lake so not bad for my little group.
