About this cabin rental
About this space
The lake home was built in the early 1930's to house the engineers constructing the entire TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority) system that created dams and hydro-electric power throughout the region. It also provided jobs that helped with employment during the Great Depression. A wonderful addition we made recently was a dock, which remains in the water from sometime in March until late October.
Please note this is an old, quaint home. It has its quirks.
The space:
This is an old, quaint, home. The lake home itself remains mainly as it was back then, complete with wormy-chestnut walls and ceilings. But now there are beds for FIVE people, not the 12 engineers that lived here back then - ha ha!
One thing that has just been upgraded is the water. Until recently we were on (very good) well water, but now we've hooked onto the County water system - which is of excellent quality. However, we continue to operate on a septic field, so we ask all our guests to be especially gentle with the plumbing - and not put anything down the drains that doesn't belong.
And we've also just added a few new amenities: a propane-gas grill on the porch, a small dog enclosure in the back yard (so we're happy to say that we're now welcoming dogs to our property - but, sorry, no cats) and a dock.
Guest access:
You'll have full access to the entire place during your stay, with driveway parking that can accommodate several cars.
Other things to note-
The TVA controls the height of the lake (to provide electric power year-round and recreational activities in the summer), but sometimes heavy rains cause it to rise somewhat. While it will never impact the lake home, there's a portion of the lower-lake road that sometimes goes under water, making the "loop" for walking or jogging more of a "turnaround."
*NO PARTIES/EVENTS AND NO LOUD LARGE GROUP GATHERINGS EVER.
*QUIET HOURS are 10pm to 8am

This is a delightful vintage cabin with quirky architectural detail reflective of its history. Truly Pet friendly with grassy areas as well as woods for sniffing. There was even a small pen off the back porch suitable for smaller dogs. A very short walk through the woods and across an infrequently traveled road leads to the water. Minuscule rocky beach, but the deck was sturdy with chairs. the dogs loved it. The host was easy to contact through the app and replied promptly. Would strongly recommend this place.

Pictures tell the story well! My boys were sad there were no fishy nibbles, but enjoyed the time on the water. It was a nice amount of space for the four of us. The view was gorgeous, and Oksana was responsive with any questions/concerns.Being able to bring our dog was a big plus, and he enjoyed the weekend as well!
