Review of Perfect Lakeside Mountain Retreat
Our stay at this incredible lake house was everything we hoped for and more! The views of the lake and mountains were simply breathtaking, creating a peaceful and serene atmosphere. It’s the perfect place to escape and relax.
One of our favorite features was the wonderful dock. We spent hours swimming off it and just lounging by the water, soaking in the sun and enjoying the tranquility. Whether you're looking for an active day on the lake or just want to float and relax, the dock was a perfect spot.
In the evenings, we gathered around the fire pit for s’mores and storytelling. It was the ideal way to end each day, with the crackling fire and star-filled sky creating the perfect cozy vibe.
The house itself was spotless and very comfortable for our family. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking meals, and the living spaces were warm and inviting. The beds were super comfortable, and we all slept peacefully, surrounded by the quiet of the area.
We also loved the abundance of wildlife! We spotted deer at night and enjoyed watching geese and even ospreys during the day. The location felt like a true nature retreat.
Overall, this lake house had everything we needed for a perfect family getaway. From the dock to the fire pit, it’s a dream spot for relaxation and making lasting memories. We can't wait to return!

Great for Family and Friends!
Our family and friends loved the “Perfect Lake House on Watts Bar!” Beautiful views, the kids loved the dock, and we trailered two boats and the dock was plenty big for both boats.
The inside of the house, again delivered beautiful views, it was very spacious and allowed for all of us to hang out together and not be on top of each other, the house was very clean and had everything we needed, and the play room, trampoline, and basketball hoop was a bonus for the kids as well! Will definitely stay here again!

The PERFECT Lake House is CORRECT
Our experience at this property was AMAZING! The hosts have thought of everything to make this house completely “Renter Friendly”. The house was well stocked in the kitchen, bathrooms, and even the game room! There were TONS of outdoor equipment for both kids and adults!
The house was VERY clean and comfortable. The view was breathtaking. There was plenty of space in the house and with our party of 8, we never felt crowded. We had our 2 dogs with us and the large fenced in back yard gave them so much space to run around.
The host, Rex, was very nice and responded immediately to our needs. We will definitely rent this house for vacation again!
