Lakehome-Dock&Spa by UT/Windrock/Golf, BOAT Avail.

AvaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This property is exactly as pictured and described. No disappointments upon arrival! Some niceties that are not mentioned! Lots of start up items like coffee supplies, paper products, soaps, shampoos, hair dryers. A closet full of games and puzzles, plenty of towels and linens and a double set of washer/dryer units to use. We had all that we needed to enjoy our week. A spacious yard that afforded privacy, a firepit with split wood to use, a small beach area to easily launch the kayaks, lots of deck furniture to enjoy the views, and a hot tub to enjoy in the evenings! Our grandkids love this place and so do we!

Lake Life on Santeetlah

NicoleRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We absolutly loved Suzy's place. With any cabin in the woods, yes there are going to be ants. As long as your responsible with your food (don't leave it out, leave open food hanging around) you will be fine. This is not the place to go if you don't like bug or bees. for a Cabin in the woods, it was perfect! The lake front was BEAUTIFUL. Our last night there, there was a thunderstorm with heavy rain. add the open windows and it was bliss! definitely considering making this a yearly trip! Thank you Suzy!

Waterside Home, Hot tub, Fireplace, WiFi, Dog-OK

MariaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Matthew’s place was very nice and cozy. Definitely one of the cleanest and best stocked cabins I have ever stayed in! We had a few hiccups in our trip (mainly issues caused by weather, nothing anyone could help). However, Matthew stayed in constant communication throughout the trip and kept us up to date with information we needed regarding the weather caused outages and the such and made sure we were taken care of. I can truly tell that he goes above and beyond for his guests. I would definitely stay here again!

“Unforgettable Sunrise” on Douglas Lake/ Smoky Mt

NicoleRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had a wonderful stay! My boys loved fishing off the pier early in the morning and late into the evening, and the hosts were kind enough to let them use the pier next door as well. The house was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. The view is spectacular and we enjoyed having coffee each morning overlooking the lake.

Gone Fishing in the Smokies

CrystalRating, 5 stars6 months ago
Our family of seven spent our Thanksgiving at Lynda's. We loved the back porch views! My kids (old and young) enjoyed the variety of board games. I brought spices to cook our Thanksgiving meal and didn't even need to. She had plenty of spices and utensils. Not a big deal to some, but to me, it's the little things like that that made me feel right at home and a huge reason to choose an Airbnb over a hotel that doesn't offer any of those things. The home was very clean and accommodating. Plenty of extra pillows and blankets, storage for unpacking and stowing away luggage for the "right at home" experience. We brought our dogs and she already had leashes hanging by the doors. The wood burning fire place offered a cozy feel. The men loved the outdoor fire pit. The only disappointment was the lake was dried up which wasn't expected according to the photos. The men brought their poles and gear and were looking forward casting out. Overall great experience and definitely recommend!

Lakefront! Little Hickory Hideaway 3 Bedroom

Juan AntonioRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We felt so fortunate to have found this place. The house was perfect for the family. Beautiful spaces inside and outdoors. Nothing more relaxing than this placid lake, its quiet atmosphere and splendid views. The full moon was amazing. The Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest--our reason for coming--was everything we had expected, and more. With its giant poplars, and the mysterious world of fungi and fertile fallen trees, we loved every step of the loop trail. This home is a perfect place to get away from everything. So comfortable and relaxing, with simple good taste. Michelle's notes, care of details and suggestions made us feel at home right away. We look forward to going back at the next opportunity! By the way: the Internet worked great. And we even watched a movie on TV. Our thanks to Michelle and Kirk!

The Lodge on Lake Santeetlah - Tail of the Dragon

LuciaRating, 5 stars1 day ago
We had the best getaway. It was just what we needed with very comfy house, ample deck for relaxing, grilling, eating and to see the lake. Easy little walk from house to lake where we could put our kayaks in or float on a raft. We loved the kitchen bec it had lots of pots pans and things needed for real cooking which we loved to do. Dina was extremely responsive and very nice. We’ll book this one again!

5 min to UTK with TN lake views

JuliaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Our stay was absolutely lovely. Jena’s house is an easy drive to UT. The pictures do not do it justice. The location is beautiful- landscaping, lake views, roosters crowing in morning. We enjoyed our coffee in screened in porch. The inside is just as impressive- modern, cozy, super comfortable beds, eclectic bathrooms. Jena’s home is very clean, and I have high standards. It was the perfect place to host an intimate graduation brunch for my daughter. We 100% recommend Jena’s place and look forward to another visit!! Thank you, Jena

Hugh's cove with lake front

KevinRating, 5 stars2 days ago
Beautiful place right on the lake. We had a great stay with our family. The kids loved the downstairs family room with bunk beds. The views are spectacular and the house is clean and well kept. The patio is fantastic and has great views. We spent a lot of time kayaking and fishing from the dock. The kitchen and laundry room are well stocked. The bathrooms are very nice. The guest bathroom has a crack in the tile, but it seems to be structurally okay. Google Maps took us to the wrong location, but Apple Maps had it right. A couple of things to watch out for: There were a few wasp nests, but they were easily handled with a bottle of wasp spray. Also, the dock has a section that is not sturdy and should not be walked on. None of these are huge deals, just FYI. Overall, we loved it and it fit our family perfectly. We plan to come back very soon to this house and would highly recommend it.

POTTS POINT AT LAKE JUNALUSKA

KellyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
There were 4 lakeview dog friendly rental choices on my list & I believe I chose the best one. The house was adorable and has a large wrap around porch with flat easy parking enough for multiple cars. The view was awesome & the trail is right in front with a nice large corner lot. Lynette was nice enough to let me check in a little early and left us a pie! I would love to come back next year when its a little cooler before the lake gets drained in December & bring my elderly mom, even she could walk this trail & would enjoy the flowers at the Rose Walk.

The home was beautiful and well appointed. Beds were extremely comfortable. Many amenities were provided like coffee, sweetener, teas, variety of soaps. Kitchen was well stocked with plenty of dinnerware, cooking supplies, coffee pot and silverware. The 120 acre grounds were magical, paddle boat on lake, playground, fire pit, and hiking trails were enjoyed by all. We saw deer, groundhogs and plenty of fireflies. We will definitely return.

Lake Front Home with Private Dock in Gated BearPaw

AlisonRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
This house has everything you need for a getaway. We stayed on the decks more than in the house. The furniture outside has been upgraded since the photos on the listing. Kitchen was spotless and had everything I need to cook for my family. I will be back. There are 125 steps to get to the water. I knew it would be a trek, so it didn’t bother me. But, just a heads up if you aren’t able to climb that many steps. All of the houses are like that.

This home was perfect for our family of 10 and just a short walk to the lake. The host went above and beyond with information and answering all questions in preparation for our visit. This location was very private. Really didn’t see other people. Everything was clean and looked just as the pictures showed. Very happy with our choice to stay here. Definitely recommend!

Smoky Mountain Lake House

WilliamRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Kimberly was a great host. She quickly responded to all communication. The dock was very nice and the channel was calm and deep. Like most homes on the lake it is built on the side of the hill which makes it a workout to walk back up to the house from the dock. I found the very twisty road going to the house entertaining. The view from the property was really beautiful. The lake is absolutely gorgeous with incredible scenery and impressive homes.
