This home was amazing. Plenty enough space for 4 adults (and plenty more). Karen, the host who stays on the land as well was very sweet and even made us peach cobbler while we were there. There are 2 apartments located here as well, so you'll probably end up sharing the common areas, like the fire pit, with others. But it was fine. Everyone had a great time and we'd definitely stay again.

Great place to stay, especially w/kids. Close to the lake but not too close to worry about the kids playing near water. Several hiking trails on the property; mile drive to the lake & marina; nice fire pit to sit around and watch the beautiful sunsets. Fully equipped kitchen; 2 bedrooms and bath on one side of home and other side has a huge bedroom w/2 double beds & 2 set of bunk beds w/a bathroom; plenty of room to park several cars and/or boat
This is a lovely vacation location. Our stay in the farmhouse was so relaxing and we hope to visit again before long. The kitchen was well stocked.
Awesome views of lake and smoky mountains!

This spot was really amazing. The view in the pictures is really as beautiful in person. The only thing that was a bit misleading is that you are not the only house on the property. The horse barn has apartments over it. The fire pit is a shared area. Not a huge deal, we just weren't expecting others to be so close. We loved our stay, though!
