Very dirty home
I never write negative reviews. I usually talk directly to the host. And I did, I informed them how dirty the place was, it had about an inch of dust on everything. The ceiling fans were disgusting. The baseboards were so dirty everything was dirty. And the last night we stayed there the hot water heater made a noise that it sounded like puppies were being killed and it kept us up all night. Also spoke to the host regarding refunding me the cleaning fee since it was obviously not cleaned and I never got a response from them regarding that issue. They ghosted me on it. Very disappointed with this host never had this type of experience. I hope that the next person will not be lied to about how clean the place is because it was very difficult to sit or do anything anywhere because of how dirty it was. Also the master bedroom that’s downstairs is extremely tiny and so is the bathroom. It’s was very difficult to move around and not bang yourself or have the toilet paper holder fall on the floor, and I’m a small person.. if you don’t care about cleanliness, the view is amazing.

Great Vacation Getaway
Definitely a Five Star property. This property is tucked away in a nice neighborhood giving you the feeling of seclusion (which we liked) yet close to everything. Upon arrival, the house was perfect. Very comfortable and had everything we needed.
The best feature of the property is its view and access to the lake. The view of the lake is awesome. There is a nice small dock to fish from and we had some good success fishing there. Also impressive was the large deck. We spent a lot of time on the deck. We were there during a hotter than usual week, but the fans on the deck allowed us to still enjoy time on the deck during the hottest time of the day.
Communication with the owners was excellent. Our only disappointment was when our stay was over and we had to leave. This is definitely a property at the top of our list when/if we plan another trip to Tennessee.

Gorgeous views!
This rental is in a quiet neighborhood. The views are gorgeous! Since it is by water and had a few days of rain, I got bit several times by some kind of insect. The inside was clean, kitchen had everything we needed, and the host responded to questions I had. The only thing that could have made our stay better was if the tv remote for master bedroom was working. We would definitely stay again!
