• Cutest little dried-up "lake-houe"

  3/5

  Family and I came in for Thanksgiving and found a great house. It is centrally located and easy to get to. The home is nicely decorated and has all the amenities of home. Everything was clean, modern and well taken care of. We truly had nothing bad to say about the stay...except for the "lake" part.

  I am from the tri-cities so i was prepared for the fluctuating water levels. That, however, was not the case. There was NO WATER AT ALL. This was extremely disappointing as we were not able to use the kayaks, do the fishing we planned for or enjoy the beautiful water views. Not just that but we paid the premium for this "lake house" - the same amount we would've spent in another lake house that actually had water. The listing is definitely misleading and if the water part of renting a "Lake House" is important to you, do not rent this one.

  Management does not allow any more people than what you reserved for to be at the house. Meaning, we rented for 7 in our family - no more than 7 could be there at any time. This seemed unreasonable to us. I understand rules and regulations but this was extreme! We're an older family and not a bunch of kids looking for a good party house!

  Side note, the driveway is very narrow and you share it with another home. Limited space and no privacy.

  Thank you for sharing your experience, Tasha, and for your positive comments about our home. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the amenities, decor, and central location during your Thanksgiving stay.
  -We sincerely apologize for any disappointment regarding the water levels at Boone Lake. Part of the charm of our property is that we are located in a quaint cove. We understand the importance of this aspect, and we have made efforts to be transparent about this in our listing details. We're glad that you pointed out the inclusion of kayaks and a canoe to enhance the lake access season from April to October.
  -Regarding the occupancy limit, we apologize if it seemed restrictive. Please note that maximum occupancy is not applicable for the people staying at the property overnight, but also for the amount of people on the property at any given time. Our intention is to ensure the safety and comfort of all guests, and we appreciate your understanding of the rules and regulations in place. We've experienced challenges with some guests exceeding the agreed-upon occupancy, leading us to enforce these guidelines.
  
  We value your feedback, and it's important for us to address any concerns you may have. We hope you'll consider renting from us again, especially during peak water levels, and we'll do our best to provide a wonderful experience for your family. Thank you for choosing our home for your Thanksgiving stay.

• Priceless Family Reunion and Wedding

  5/5

  Our multigenerational family met in Johnson City for our son’s wedding. The Lake House accommodations were welcoming and comfortable. The house accommodations were welcoming, comfortable and perfect for our family time. The lake front location, fishing and outdoor space was also perfect for creating priceless lifelong memories. Greg and Darlene were perfect hosts and their home is everything advertised and more. Thank you for the perfect stay.

• Priceless Wedding and Family Reunion Time

  5/5

  This lake front home was the perfect accommodations for our multigenerational extended family to come together as we celebrated our son’s wedding.

  The home was welcoming, immaculate, beautiful, spacious and absolutely everything advertised.

  The only downside was not having more time to enjoy the kayaks, fire pit and dock.

  Greg and Darlene are amazing hosts!

  We would love to stay again when we have more time to relax.

  We now have amazing forever memories from our time in your beautiful home.

  Thank you so much!

  Sincerely,

  Ric and Wendie Chadd

  This was hands down the best vacation rental I’ve ever used. Clean, amenities of a luxury hotel, great location, wonderful owners. It’s so relaxing hanging out there, who wants to go anywhere else.
