Listing Description:
Custom lakefront home just off the main channel on year-round water, directly across from Beach Island Marina and Boathouse at 33 (5 minutes by boat, 10 by car). Five bedrooms sleep 16 (three kings, a queen, a bunk room and a queen sofa bed), four full baths, hot tub, ping pong and two covered porches over the lake. Private dock with a covered slip, jet ski port and swim ladder, kayaks included; it is a steep 420-foot gravel path down to it. Ten minutes to Maynardville, about 45 to Knoxville.
The Space:
THE HOUSE
Three levels. Main level: kitchen, living area, a king bedroom with its own bath and a queen bedroom with a bath just outside the door. Upstairs: the king master suite with its own bath. Basement: the bunk room, another king bedroom, a full bath and a queen pull-out sofa. Spacious kitchen with a standard coffee maker and a K-Cup brewer, dishwasher, large fridge, stove, microwave, toaster and a dining table. Hot tub, Weber gas grill (we supply the propane), fire pit (we supply the firewood), cornhole boards, ping pong table, Samsung Smart TVs throughout (sign in to your own streaming apps; there is no cable), and 1-gig KUB Fiber Wi-Fi. Two covered porches look over the lake. The indoor fireplace is not for guest use.
GETTING TO THE WATER
The path from the lower deck to the dock is about 420 feet of gravel with a steep grade. Many guests bring a side-by-side or ATV for the trip down (please do not ride it in the yard); golf carts cannot make the hill.
KAYAKS
Kayaks and paddles are included, racked near the dock; please return them after use. We do not supply life jackets for the kayaks, so bring your own.
DOCK & WATER
Private dock with a swim ladder, a jet ski port and one covered slip, which is yours (one boat per house); our rental pontoon uses the other slip. Extra boats are welcome but will be tied up uncovered. The dock has no power. No jumping from the upper level of the dock, which has steel cables underneath. This part of the lake has year-round water; TVA lowers the lake in fall and raises it in spring, so levels change through the off season.
BOATS & TRAILERS
Launch at Beach Island Marina (5 to 10 minutes) before you drive in: the road in is single-lane and the driveway is steep with a sharp turn, so trailers cannot stay at the house. The marina can usually hold your trailer (confirm with them), and we have two nearby places of our own; we send the details once you book.
PONTOON RENTALS
$325 per day plus a $50 insurance fee and tax, delivered to the dock with a full tank. Book online at least a week ahead to guarantee delivery (the link is in your booking messages). Operators need a valid boater's license or a birth date before January 1, 1989. Boats stay in after dark (insurance rule) and come back with a full tank. Adult life jackets are included; bring kids' sizes.
TUBES & LILY PADS
Two-person tubes ($60 per day) and 15 x 6 ft floating lily pads ($40 per day) can be added to any stay. Reserve a week ahead and they will be at the house when you arrive.
Guest Access:
The whole house is yours. Up to 6 cars and 1 covered boat; extra boats tie up uncovered. The driveway is paved but steep.
