Place was beautiful. The host was awesome. She was a lovely lady very pleasant and kind…. It was just exactly what I was looking for. Enjoyed my visit very much….
We had a wonderful relaxing stay. We fished right off the porch, watched the ducks, turtles, dragonflies and fireflies while the bullfrogs serenaded us. So peaceful.
My wife and I along with our puppy stayed a few days at the cottage. The host was extremely nice and the property and area were amazing. Just before sundown, we had deer and a fawn grazing around the pond. And it was nice to just sit on the porch above the pond and watch them. The cottage itself was supplied with all the little extras that you may forget. It was a great experience and we will be returning. The scenery made it one of the best places in the area to stay. We loved it and I think you will too.
This was an amazing property, and the host was wonderful with communication. Despite their recent flooding the property was quite peaceful and full of beauty. Its remote location made for a relaxing experience.
This little cottage on the pond was just what we needed in space, comfort, and setting. The fenced in wraparound deck over the water was a great space for our corgi to explore safely. The bed was very comfortable. Everything was clean, and Lydia was a great hostess!
Loved our little cottage stay ❤️, it was so nice and quiet,my husband and i give 5 stars for everything, because it was literally everything we expected ❤️
It's East Tennessee's best kept secret. As a writer, I find this place to be a perfect setting for photographers and writers. Great place to spend your honeymoon or relax all day on the deck. Simply breathtaking in Spring and Fall. I never want to leave, but I have to make it available to you. We speak Spanish and Polish.
