Family gathering

Family from Virginia and Knoxville stayed in the house. Ver y impressed with the accommodations. The only complaint that was said is that some of the dishes were not clean that was pulled out to use but we washed them. Shannon is a very helpful and understanding.

Country Charm

If you’re looking for a getaway with country charm this is the place. To relaxing on the back deck or curled up on the couch with a good book. Everything you need is already available just pick up some groceries and you are all set. Want to explore the area everything is a short 20 minute car ride. Highly recommend Rutledge Falls or the Oldham Theater. Looking forward to booking our next stay this will be a family tradition.

Camp Porter at Holiday Landing Marina

Great location! Golf cart to the marina in 3 minutes, my son met us at the marina with his pontoon, beautiful boating on Tim’s Ford- lots of fish biting. Excellent food at both Blue Gill Grill and Twin Creeks. Hiking through Tim’s Ford which is only 7 minutes away. The house has everything you need; my favorite part of house was screened in back porch with tv and fireplace; wooded back yard with so many birds. Firepit was enjoyed by all. Excellent vacation, I will definitely be back.

Family summer vacation 2024

We had a great stay and the house had everything we needed. There were 8 of us and we fit comfortably. We rented a boat from Holiday Landing and enjoyed 1 day on the lake, fishing and boating. The kids enjoyed taking golf cart rides down the road and down to the lake. Access to a golf cart was a nice perk. Thank you for sharing your place! The Duniphan Family

Memorial Weekend Getaway

We took a family trip Memorial weekend to do the Jack Daniels distillery tour and spend time with family. This property was perfect for our family of 5 and Shannon was very responsive when we had questions. My daughter and her boyfriend enjoyed using the kayak on the lake and we all enjoyed a meal at the restaurant nearby at the marina. We would love to return to this lovely rental in the future!

Lake cottage

My brother and I stayed at this adorable lake cottage. Everything in ad was as described. The Holiday Landing Marina was not what we expected, restaurant was closed for the season. We ended up renting a pontoon boat with our TN friends at Tims Ford Marina (slightly bigger and open) and was a short drive from cottage. We did not see any walking trails from the back yard (as it appeared on map). Other than that we had such a great time and very comfortable staying at this lake cottage.

Well appointed, great location and easy access to the marina via the complimentary golf cart and driving path. Check-in and check-out was a breeze and communication was excellent.

Excellent Place for Family Trip

We stayed for Thanksgiving week at the Porter property and were quite pleased with the space and the quality of the interior. I looked at several properties from this area and was quite glad I chose the one because it is a new development and they are still building down the street. There was construction going on that would have been quite loud in other locations but we were not bothered at this particular property. It was cold and we were not able to use the water area but there were plenty of things in the golf shed that would have been fun to use in warmer weather. The golf cart does make the steep trip to the Marina easy. The interior was decorated very nicely and my kids loved the outdoor screened area with a fireplace and TV. Even though it was 40 and below, they were very warm by the fire. There were plenty of linens, nice fast washer and dryer and a dollar store about 6 miles away that stocks quite a bit. Two grocery stores--Krogers and Publix are about 20 minutes away. We loved the local Celtic Coffeehouse and the Water Chocolate. Other favorites were Freddies for wings and Piggies for barbeque. Tom's Ford State park was nice for hiking and free. We also went to the Old Stone State Park for a ranger hike (they offer all kinds of programs there). We also visited The Caverns (about 1 hour away) for a tour. This is a very nice location in the are and easy to drive to see a variety of things.

Great weekend getaway!!

This house was perfect for us! Everything is brand new and the screened in porch is awesome! Got a lot of use out of the ping pong table on down times :)) The golf cart was a hit with our kiddos. We went off season but would definitely go back in the summer since it’s right by the marina!! And there is a shortcut to get there with the cart!! Some houses are still in construction (oct 2021) but it was not an issue at all. Neighborhood felt safe and family friendly. Rental process and check in/out were very easy and smooth! We would rent it again for sure!!
