Paradise To Me

5 out of 5 average rating, 3 reviews8 months ago

Has the most amazing views of the lake. House had everything we needed and more. We had 2 families and a total of 7 people and there was more than enough room. Sarah was very quick to respond to any questions we had. We were extremely lucky to have been able to stay and enjoy Sarah’s home!

Budd Family Farm Hideaway

4.97 out of 5 average rating, 72 reviews1 week ago

The clear directions were impressive and very much appreciated as we arrived after dark. Location was perfect, a great space which was peaceful and comfortable, allowing us to relax from the intensity of our property search. Loved having a space/trail to walk our dog. Washer/Dryer a definite bonus.

Quiet Creekside Home in the Country

4.91 out of 5 average rating, 70 reviews1 week ago

It’s a perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of any city. The loft is a neat setup, we really loved it. My dog enjoyed the open spaces around the cabin! Kathy was a great host - providing relevant updates and information. She was quick to respond and was accommodating. My only call out - Google map directions are not accurate. Trust the images you receive from Kathy and search for the marker she shares rather than following Google maps

Cozy home on Chickamauga Lake with private dock

4.93 out of 5 average rating, 72 reviews7 months ago

If you are looking for a peaceful getaway, Brian and Dana offer the perfect place! There is nothing like waking up to the view outside their back door. This was our first time visiting the area and Dana was very responsive and helpful with all our questions. We brought down our boat and having the dock to use was also very nice - there's a boat launch just right down the road that is also very convenient. The home has everything you need......except your clothes and toothbrush! :)

Cedars on the Lake

5 out of 5 average rating, 8 reviews6 months ago

The house is one level with easy access to dock and firepit on grounds. Relaxing deck in back with gorgeous water views, and a huge screened in porch in front. We loved fishing right from the shore! Excellent streaming from multiple TVs. Wifi never failed... We enjoyed the Spring City Park with a well maintained dog park and paved walking paths. And we hiked the Cumberland Trails, all close by. Kitchen was well appointed with a drip coffeemaker AND a Keurig coffeemaker. Bring your groceries and then relax! We can't wait to come back! 5 stars 🌟

Cabin with dock, screen-in porch, Great getaway

4.95 out of 5 average rating, 82 reviews1 week ago

This was a nice cabin with plenty of space! We enjoyed staying here while in the area for work and having a roomy kitchen to cook our meals in. We'd definitely stay here again—especially during sandhill crane season with the Hiwassee Refuge right at your backdoor. Don't miss walking down to the water right after the sun comes up—it's magical with the early-morning fog.

Lakefront Retreat with Private Dock

4.73 out of 5 average rating, 15 reviews7 months ago

We had a wonderful time on the lake. Our 4-year-old grandson loves the outdoors, so he was in hog heaven. The home was so inviting and very clean. The sofa was very comfortable and so were the beds. We cooked all meals at home, so I can't recommend a restaurant. We loved the openness of the living, dining, and kitchen areas. Amanda is the best host! We will definitely be back!
