Vacation rentals with lake access in McMinn County

The rental was amazing. Very clean, roomy and a beautiful view of the lake. Mitch was very responsive and friendly. The pictures don’t do it justice, you need to see it in person to take it all in. This has been our favorite vacation so far. If you love to fish you can catch all you want from the back yard. We will definitely be back next year. We didn’t want to leave. Another plus is that you are only two hours away from Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg and Nashville for a nice day trip.

This was a great place for a secluded getaway. There was easy access to the water, with a nice dock. The house was excellent, with lots of thoughtful touches like the game room. 10/10 would recommend.

Leif was an incredibly kind, understanding, and accommodating host. Check-in was an absolute breeze. Leif's home is absolutely beautiful just as pictured, absolutely spotless, and smelled amazing. I would gladly book another stay given the opportunity.

The home was clean and clutter free. The view of the lake was beautiful and it was nice that kayaks were offered but with no lake access close and only a car we couldn’t take advantage of the lake. We greatly appreciated the home away from home to watch our son in his college fishing tournament. Thank you for everything!!!

We loved This house! It was the perfect spot on the lake, and the covered boat dock was great! It even had a swing to sit and relax in while the kids enjoyed kayaking and trying to paddle board which gave us lots of laughs 😊 The host supplied the home with so many complimentary items if you forget anything no worries she has it available for you, such a nice change from most of the homes we rent while on vacation! The driveway is perfect especially if pulling a boat or even if you want to take daily walks as I did. The beds are always a big deal for us as we want clean and comfortable and this house had both, they was so comfortable and clean and fresh!! You can truly tell that the host cares about her renters and making their stay amazing!! I could go on and on about this home but unfortunately there is not enough room for me to type all that i need to ..lol...Thank you again Debbie for allowing us to stay in your home, as we truly loved your place and had a wonderful time!

We loved it!! Everything we needed was provided. We appreciated the cleanliness and the ease of checking in and out😊the atmosphere around the cottage, the view and peacefulness was just wonderful 🤗plenty of space by the water and out door dining off of the living made it very pleasant. The property was well kept. It was very convenient to have paddle boards,canoe and kayaks available to use! Our host responded very quickly when we had any questions!! A nice drive around the area took us to shops and restaurants. We definitely recommend this host and this location and will return next time we visit the area🌷

This place has the wow factor - stunning location and views, great outdoor area, very homely and well provided interior, cant fault it, it was everything we hoped for, didnt want to leave! Angela was a pleasure in online communication and in person, thank you.

It was amazing! Beautiful lake view! I really appreciated how much work went into restoring/refurbishing the house as well. I hope to stay here again when our daughter gets married later this year!

It was absolutely one of the two most peaceful places I have ever been to. I wasn't ready to leave, and I will go back just as soon as possible. The place was clean and welcoming. We had everything we needed and Gary & Sheryl were awesome!!! If you want a quiet get away, I highly recommend "On the River"!!!

It's a clean place with nice view and lots of options to enjoy the lake from the property. We really enjoyed our stay there.

Rhonda and Clay were kind, nice hosts. Easy access, ease of parking, and great lake view off the balcony. Would definitely go back!

10/10 recommend!!! We LOVED our stay here! Laurie was super sweet and helpful. The room was clean and cozy. They offered us their kayaks and the grill. They had waters, creamer, muffins, and coffee in the room. Could not ask for a better airbnb!

The house was excellent and there were no negatives about it. The neighborhood was extremely quiet and the location was awesome. Hope was quick to respond to our messages and everything went well. Watts Bar Lake was an incredible lake and there are great locations like Burgess Falls that are within a 1.5 hour drive. We had decided to split our vacation between Watts Bar Lake in Spring City and Lake Nantahala in North Carolina (one of our favorite places) but if we could have made changes we would have stayed the entire time in Spring City. We definitely want to visit the lake again and would use Hope's rental again.

Susan's place was exactly what we were looking for. Very peaceful and beautiful surroundings. It was extremely pet friendly and really appreciated all the special touches. Will definitely book again when were in the area.

Clear instructions, large and peaceful property

Jay and the co-hosts were responsive and helpful, check in and out was very easy. Request to extend my stay was accommodated with multiple options provided. The property was clean and stocked with basics. Checking in and out was simple. This is a great location for westside of Knoxville with quick access to the I-40.

Great stay overall! Lake was way down so the cove it is in was just straight mud. I’m sure during summer months it is full. The grill looked like it had not been used in a long time and was rusted that was really the only negative. We will for sure be back thou!

The place was amazing! Beautiful inside and out! We loved sitting on the deck by the water and enjoying the peacefulness of the area! Highly recommend and hope to be able to return for another stay.

We stayed with our entire family. Plenty of space. it was very clean. Shawn was very attentive and accommodating. The young ones we are entertained. We swam and made s’mores at the fire pit, plenty of entertainment inside and out fabulous retreat.

We absolutely loved this historical home in downtown Dayton! Walking distance to everything! We were in town for my son’s collegiate fishing tournament on Chickamauga and the location was perfect. We actually walked to weigh in! Amazing front porch with a swing that we took advantage of! Highly recommended! Will definitely stay here again!

We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage! We liked that we could stay out in the country but still be close enough to explore Chattanooga, and it was an easy hour drive up to Fall Creek Falls State Park. The cottage was lovely and cozy and had a lot of character.

We had an amazing stay at Trisha’ s place! The house was spotless, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. We felt right at home and enjoyed every moment. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a cozy and clean place to stay! We were able to fish Lake Chickamauga everyday rain or shine 🤍

My wife and I really enjoyed staying here. It was peaceful and had a wonderful view of the lake. The house was very clean and nicely decorated. It had all of the amenities that we needed for our stay. Having a covered dock with a boat lift was very nice. It kept my bass boat dry during the rain. It also had power outlets available for plugging in my onboard charger for my trolling motor. I would highly recommend Steven's place for anyone looking for a place on Watts Barr Lake

I would recommend this place to others, it was quiet, peaceful, beautiful spot on the lake just like we had wanted, and the photos showed. I thought it would be a bit bigger from the photos, but it did work for our needs! We didn't realize propane was not included with the grill, honestly I didn't even think to check that as an option, however they responded very quickly and directed us to a nearby location to buy some. Out of all the airbnbs I've stayed at over the years, they were the fastest responders by far. Everything was clean, instructions were clear through airbnb, and we had a very nice stay!
