We stayed for a week with our teenage boys. It was wonderful. Joey, the owner, was very responsive to questions. The house was very clean, and the kitchen was well-stocked with appliances, kitchen utensils, etc. Our boys loved having their own rooms and the room my husband and I used was absolutely lovely, with its own balcony facing the lake and the hot tub. The lake is stunning. The water was clean, and the lake was calm. There wasn't a lot of boat traffic during our stay, which we were happy with. We spent most of our time on the dock and my kids loved jumping in the water and swimming. Please note the lake is very deep with a steep drop off, so inexperienced swimmers should use a life jackets, which were provided by the owner.While there is not much to do in the immediate surrounding area, a short drive gets you into Johnson City, and just an hour away is Grandfather Mountain in North Carolina.If you are looking for a nice, relaxing vacation on a beautiful lake, then this is the perfect place!

Perfect cabin for our family. Love the dock and easy access. Cabin is well kept. Kitchen is well stocked. Owner is very responsive and nice. Can’t wait to come again next year!

We loved the extra porch (entertainment space) during our stay at this lake house! Kitchenware and other household items need a bit of updating. Dock was fantastic! Outdoor stairs may be a bit much for young children and seniors. Host was very responsive. Very close to Cove Ridge Marina if you would like to rent a boat. Overall a positive experience.
