Updated Cabin & Large Dock - Hiwassee Highlife

Summary:
Welcome to our fantastic waterfront Hiwassee River property with water access, and dock! Enjoy a four-bedroom, three-bath home complete with a dock and cabana down by the river. An open floor plan on the main level makes for easy access to the screened in porch at the back of the home overlooking the Hiwassee River. With plenty of room inside and out, we know you, your family, and friends will enjoy slowing down and making memories in our home! We hope to host you.

The Space:
****NOTE: The hot tub at the home is undergoing maintenance and is not available for guest use.****

Sitting right on the beautiful Hiwassee River, the lovely scenery is the first thing to take. With views of the river, rolling hills, and mature trees surrounding our home, it is TN nature at its finest. Our multi-level home offers multiple southern-style porches, allowing guests to spend ample time outside. The main level offers open concept living. Enjoy relaxing in the cozy living room with a love seat, sofa, and flat-screen TV complete with Roku. The eat-in kitchen offers doors leading directly to the beautiful screened-in porch. It is sure to be a favorite spot during your stay! The lower level of the home has a cozy den, a full bathroom, and bedroom #1 with two full beds. The main level of the house also contains a full bathroom and bedroom #2 with a queen-size bed. There is a steeper set of stairs (this could be challenging for elderly folks or anyone with mobility issues) leading to the upper level, which has a jack n jill bathroom shared between bedroom #3 with a king-size bed and bedroom #4 with two twins over full bunk beds.
Complete with its dock and cabana down at the river, our home will surely have you living the Hiwassee Highlife!

We love our dock, but it does require going up and down a large flight of stairs to gain access. Please make sure you are comfortable with stairs if you would like to use the dock!

A boat ramp is one mile away, perfect for larger boats. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions! We look forward to hosting you!

***Our home has satellite internet and can be spotty.***

***Please note: our home is on a slough. There is little to no water for dock use from mid October-May. Water levels begin rising in April and decreasing in October.***

Guest Access:
The house has a digital combo lock pad. We will provide you with the code upon check-in.

Getting Around:
We recommend driving and offer parking for our guests! Our driveway will comfortably hold 4 cars.

Other Things to Note:
We require a signed rental agreement and for guest to be 25 years of age to book.

We are a pet friendly home. Pets must be crated when they are left unattended in the home. We do not allow pets on furniture or beds, and all waste must be cleaned up from the yard. All pets require a non-refundable pet fee. If there is evidence of pet hair on the furniture, excess hair in the home, stains, or waste found in the yard or home, you will be charged the cost to clean this. In the event that a security deposit is collected, we will retain all or part of the security deposit to cover any costs associated with additional cleaning due to pets.

Interaction with Guests:
We want to provide our guests with maximum privacy and flexibility, so we have check-in and check-out automated. We will call and touch base on the phone, and we can always have someone come and help if you need it, but otherwise, we will leave you and your friends and family to spend time together.

Communication with the property managers was exceptional. The pictures fairly depicted the property. The house was located in a super quiet and peaceful area. One drawback was the internet speed, it was slow but given the location I think that kind of goes with the turf of living in a clearly natural setting. I was between four and five stars on this unit.

Peaceful getaway
Loved this property and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to have a quiet getaway. Great accommodations and great communication with the host. I would recommend bringing groceries and making sure you plan to cook at the property, as access to restaurants and delivery services is limited. Great time with the family and again, would highly recommend this property.

Not bad
Our stay was okay. Checking in was easy however as soon as we arrived we realized the photos made it look better than it actually was. The lake was completely dried up so any hopes we had of fishing were out the window. They charge for dog poop in the yard but all of the neighbors let their dogs run loose so there were droppings everywhere by the time we arrived. The house was cleaned but not well, everything in the kitchen was greasy and their were piles of dog hair behind the couches. The beds were immensely uncomfortable since the mattresses had indents in them. Lastly the most disappointing part was it was advertised as close to Chattanooga but it's still an hour drive.

Very nice house in a good location.
We enjoyed our stay and everything was as listed. The only thing I was concerned about was the contract and waivers seemed to be a little overboard. There were a lot of rules that had fines or other charges if we did something wrong based on all the rules. We always try to leave a property as we found it, clean & tidy, but I was a little concerned that we might accidentally break one of their rules.
