Escape city life and slow things down at this 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom lakeside oasis. This sunny Gun Barrel City home boasts a private boat dock for easy lake access, hot tub, and a central location for local dining, shopping, and family-friendly activities. After a cup of coffee on the porch, walk down to the water where you can hop in the boat for a day on the lake, or simply soak up the sun on the dock. When you return to the vacation rental, take a soak in the hot tub while the sun goes down.

Location was good and the house was OK, but there were a significant number of deficiencies that could best be summed up as maintenance items. IT is my hope that when the issues are handled, the property would be well worth the prices charged.
The mattress in the master bedroom had dip (sink) on one side and there were a lot of spider webs on the dock and could get the jets to work on the hot tub and stains on the carpet in master bedroom.

Giving this experience a 2 out of 5 overall. Pros: Good layout, roomy. Screened in back porch. Ample supplies. Cons: House & yard/tree overall not maintained well...trees over grown & couldn't see the lake from porch. Infested with mosquitos so can't enjoy dock or backyard. Backyard has big barn with trash piled next to it. Carpets stained with pet urine (see picture of example, all rooms stained badly). House reeked of mold/mildew. Screened in porch screen falling apart & dirty. Sectional dirty. Recliners broken. Batteries in some remotes were not working. King bed in primary was sunken on both sides (didn't sleep in other beds) & uncomfortable. Previous guests left trash outside (see picture of example) by dock & by grill area. I contacted owners 3hrs after arrival and David stated this was unacceptable and offered to have carpet cleaners come out during our short stay. I declined the offer as we only stayed a weekend and that would have been a big inconvenience to my husband and I. No other resolution other than "sorry". We spent 1k for the weekend and not worth it for the experience. If your standards are low & don't care about what was mentioned then this place probably will not bother you.
