Beautiful lodging for family who came to daughter's wedding
Gorgeous view of the Tennessee river from the spacious porches and decks. It was a clean and well-supplied home that met our needs very well. The spaces were comfortable and tastefully decorated. We appreciated that it was uncluttered and had modern appliances. It was a bit of a drive over some narrow roads to go for groceries but the view and peacefulness made it worth it.

Fishing vacation
It was exactly as listed on VRBO. 8 adults stayed comfortably, lots of memories made. We had 4 boats and had plenty of room to park and plug in, short distance to ramp. Beautiful sunsets! Screen doors/ porch screens in need of repair, so we were unable to open doors or use screened in porch as designed due to mosquitoes and spiders.

Wedding weekend stay
I chose this Airbnb for my sister, the bride, and her bridesmaids to stay. The venue was at Howe’s farms, about a 25 minute drive. It was perfect and being on the water was so nice! Definitely would recommend staying here to anyone looking for a weekend getaway by the water.

Better then expected!
I marked the accuracy of the online description low just because it was better than expected. The house was pretty clean but really nice. It was an older home/cabin but well taken care of for its age. They hosts left a really nice gift basket which was a great touch and so appreciate. It was filled with local Tennessee items for us to enjoy. The decks, dock and lake views were incredible. There was nice lighting on all the decks and steps leading down to the lake. The dock unexpectedly had a boat lift and two jet ski lifts to keep your water crafts safe. The top deck had been replaced with trex decking and they had a half dozen very nice Adirondack chairs on the boat dock that had a deck on top. There was also nice lounge chairs at the house deck and middle deck for several nice places for an outdoor supper or comfortable place to sit and take in the natural beauty. We were very impressed with this rental and may rent it for a week next summer.

Wow! There are not enough Greta things to say about this place. Clean, the place is huge! Like other reviewers have said, the pictures do not the place justice. We had such a great time. The doc is really nice and there are plenty of hang out areas. Really nice that there are board games in the house We would recommend this place to anyone wanting to stay in the area. It is perfect!

My entire family loved this place. We spent several days on the water. The kayaks and paddle boards were in good condition. The AC worked great. The Home really had every accommodation. This is one of our most favorite places we have ever stayed. This was such a great vacation.

Wonderful lake front property
The pictures don't do this beautiful home justice! Everything was very clean and had everything we needed! Communication was very easy with the owners. The neighborhood is wonderful, the sunsets from the deck are amazing. I loved kayaking on the lake/river, it was nice calm water. There are tons of stairs to the dock so if you have mobility issues this may not be ideal, but we loved it! The welcome basket was such a nice touch as well! Check out the Laurel-Snow natural area near there, the Laurel waterfall was beautiful!

This property is very nice. The owner greets with a special package of items from the local area. The beds are overly soft for my tastes, but it was manageable. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful view of the water.

Best Riverfront Home
Overall the property was fantastic. The home was easy to get to with plenty of parking out front. Everything was easily accessible, such as the home, and the back deck's. The home was spacious, clean and tidy and had everything we needed in it. The owners were easy to communicate with and get a hold of. The home is much larger than what the pictures perceived so that was a nice surprise. My one and only complaint is that the french doors on each floor to the back of the house did not lock. Being from the city that was a little unnerving. Outside of that fantastic place. Will definitely be booking again for a summer trip. Thank you again to the owners. Your rental made our holiday absolutely magical.
