graduation weekend
We had several family members come to celebrate my daughter's graduation from Sewanee for the weekend. Calm Waters was a perfect landing spot for a full weekend! Would definitely stay here again when we can take advantage of the hot tub and do some kayaking!
My five college friends came for a two day getaway, and it was perfect! Plenty of room and the house was clean and decorated so cute! We hiked, ate and enjoyed ourself completely. You will love this cute tiny house!
My besties and I stayed in this beautiful cozy home and couldn’t have been more pleased with our stay. From the cozy vibes, to having all the home amenities you can imagine, and the beautiful views we cannot say enough good about this place. The only bad thing we can say is we didn’t book enough time. Can’t wait to come back!
This property exceeded expectations with its perfect, clean interior and excellent amenities, including a hot tub and lake access for paddle boarding. The coveted deck is also a beautiful space for group meals or just listening to the sounds of frogs at night. Leaving this one feeling recharged!

Above and Beyond Expectations
We can’t say enough good things about our stay! (Our only regret is not staying longer). Beautiful scenery, beautiful house. Everything was clean, beds were very comfortable, the house is stocked with everything you could possibly need (high chairs, baby gates, even an air fryer and crock pot!) They blew us away with how great this place is. Wish I could give more than 5 stars.
We were seeking a calm, get away from our busy every day life. This tiny home brought us the tranquility and peace that was necessary and what we were craving. From the attention to detail to the location, this house had everything! It definitely left us with many memories and has become one of our favorite family getaways.
Everything was immaculate, all the essentials you need and environment to satisfy your vacation needs and souls desires!
Thank you for creating a home away from home. Memories we will never forget!

Perfect family getaway!
This place was perfect for our family of 4! No one wanted to leave after our 3 days were up. We enjoyed the area during the day, but spent our mornings and afternoon/evenings at this quiet hideaway. We fished, had fires every night, enjoyed the hot tub, and Mom enjoyed reading 2 books on the porch rocking chair! The house was incredibly well stocked, I was so surprised. It was a breeze to cook dinner, even did a load of laundry after the kids got their clothes dirty hiking. We have already been plotting out when we are coming back. Next time we are bringing kayaks!
