Catch & Release observes all protocols according to TN state and local laws and Federal directives regarding cleanliness, sanitary conditions, and disinfectant guidelines. We use EPA-registered household disinfectants that ensure every guest is protected.

CATCH & RELEASE is located on 4 SECLUDED, CREEKSIDE, WOODED acres in the Shagbark gated community. We are three minutes from our clubhouse, swimming pool and tennis court. This cabin has WIRELESS HIGH-SPEED INTERNET, 2 gas fireplaces, 2 KING bedrooms each with TV & DVD and separate receivers, 1 QUEEN bedroom with private bath, and updated bathrooms. All linens are provided and the kitchen is fully equipped for cooking family meals. The loft has a POOL TABLE, which has views of the flat-screen TV in the living room and the pond. There is a good selection of board games; Checkers, Chess, Apples to Apples, and Backgammon for those rainy days or fun nights. We have a 40 DVD movie collection for those days our guests want to just hang out at Catch & Release. We will be adding to it each season. We added a whole house Generac Generator for those storms that take down trees. You will always have power!

The dramatic 30’ vaulted rock fireplace wall has a 42' FLAT SCREEN TV with SURROUND SOUND and DVD. The new THEATER/FAMILY/GAME room has a 48” FLAT SCREEN TV and DVD, bamboo hardwood floors, Foosball & Checker tables, glass walls looking into the fishing pond and the backyard creek, and all leather furniture. The 5-ton zoned Air Conditioning and Heating system is energy efficient and meets government specifications for GREEN buildings. Our new bathroom products are from Concept Amenities, an Australian soap company whose soaps are in 5-star European hotels. The bath gel, bar soap, shampoo, conditioner, and body lotion are biodegradable and environmentally sensitive. We love our environment and know that you do too. This is why you vacation in the Smoky Mountains.

The backyard creek runs under the house into a large FISHING POND in the front yard, which has Goldfish, We had Catfish and Brim but heavy rains washed them over the small dam. We applied to restock the pond. You can fish from the front deck in the pond, The goldfish love the kids and the kids love the goldfish. Please bring your fishing poles. We request that you CATCH & RELEASE ONLY.

The pond fountain automatically turns on to enjoy your morning coffee and turns off in the evening. It is off in the winter months. The CREEKSIDE HOT TUB is in the moss-covered backyard and in an enclosed porch in case of rain. The Hot Tub is emptied and refilled before each guest's arrival per the Tennessee Department of Health Regulations. This is the most peaceful vacation home you will ever visit. It is tucked amongst the trees and early in the morning, WILD TURKEYS come to drink at the edge of the pond, and the occasional bear drifts by to bathe with her cubs.

There are new bamboo floors, slate countertops, appliances, area carpets, a washer-dryer, and amazing landscaping in the front yard with a dry creek bed in stone, large boulders, and a RESIDENT TURTLE. THIS IS A GREAT PLACE FOR FAMILIES. KIDS LOVE IT!!!

    This was a great place to stay very relaxing. My grandson enjoyed catching the fish and letting them go. We thoroughly loved the visiting raccoon and owl. We had a bear but did not see him. Would recommend this to anyone wanting a great place to relax and enjoy nature.

    This rental was everything they said and more. It was great watching the racoons, the owl and the chipmunks come up to the pond. It was so peaceful and the bed was amazing. I have told everyone I know about this place since we arrived back home.

    The property is exactly as described. We loved the privacy we had. The owner and property manager went above and beyond what was required in returning some property that I left in a drawer. I could not be more pleased with the professionalism and kindness they demonstrated in making sure the property was returned to me.

    We had a wonderful stay at C&R! Sandra was a great host and the check in process was seamless. My son loved fishing in the pond and looking for wildlife in the beautifully landscaped backyard. The hot tub was the icing on the cake as well as listening to the creek flowing through the yard. The only thing we didn’t love about our stay was the large carpenter ants in the kitchen and a 4” centipede in the living room BUT this property is in the forest so at the end of the day I don’t think it’s too out of the ordinary to come across some bugs here and there…we were just mindful of what we set on the counter. All in all, we had a great time and wouldn’t think twice about booking C&R in the future.

    We had such a great time! Host Sandra made sure we had everything we needed to get in and the email communication on directions, property and all was great. Played pool, enjoyed hot tub, grilled burgers and steaks and really had great downtime with my kids 21, 16, and 10. Just what we needed! Put away the electronics and talked, played board games, fished in the pond out front, went horseback riding, and the mountain coasters nearby. Thanks Sandra and team for making it a great holiday weekend. Kids loved it too. Only negative? That we didn’t get to see a bear!

    Fantastic property. If you want to be close enough to Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, etc (20 - 50 min.), but far enough away to enjoy some piece and quiet, this place is for you. Family enjoyed our stay thoroughly.

    This was our second week renting this amazing cabin! We had a great time! We saw a bear and a deer in the backyard and the owl came to visit on the porch again- just like the year before! The location is close to everything, but far enough away that you experience nature. The house has everything you need!

    We literally got our keys code to our property around 4:30 the night before check out we arrive on Thursday and check out Saturday and we got our key code Friday evening was supposed to be my daughters 18th birthday was spent with countless hours of unanswered phone calls and emails I understand the property owner had a medical emergency, but the cabin was rented and paid for I do believe there should be a plan in place if somebody misses Work is sick. I can’t believe that the company like this one person can completely shut it down. We have used this site and my family for many trips but never again Also the house advertises a catch and release house there is no fishing. It’s literally a small mud hole.

    We had a REALLY great time!! We enjoyed playing games, the hot tub and walk in the woods. It was very enchanting!! The place was very big and would be wonderful for a big group. It was very nice and clean. The gold fish were very pretty. However, it is definitely nothing that we would fish for to catch and release as we enjoyed sitting on the porch watching them. (That is why I put 3 stars for the Accuracy of online listing. EVERYTHING was absolutely amazing!!!Thank you for letting us stay there!

    We enjoyed overall our stay. We had hopedFor a variety of fish in pond however it was only goldfish but this was fine for our kids. The way our GPS took us getting to the house was through the opposite side of the written directions and we lost all service and internet etc and it was a VERY narrow and winding road so I’m glad we traveled in the daylight. While the house is plenty big enough for more than 2 families we weren’t given an exception to allow our additional family to stay, which is fine. However when we gave names etc for the gate the names were incorrect but luckily the gate didn’t make a big deal of it since the vehicle was correct. Overall it’s a great little quiet location - there are no views as you have mountain going up all sides but this didn’t bother us. Great location to everything we wanted to do.

    Our trip was a rushed trip for a dance competition. We arrived around midnight and took the wrong entrance to the loop so the house was a little difficult to find the first time. The house was very nice and clean. We didn’t have time to really get to enjoy the pond or to just it and relax. We would definitely consider staying here again when we have more time to just relax.

    I use VRBO for all my vacation and travel needs, and I can honestly say this house had more household items stocked than any other home I've ever stayed. There wasn't ANYTHING that I could imagine needing to cook a meal, watch a movie, play a game, or read a book. if you could think of it, it was there! I love the gardens, and the back yard. This place is fast becoming my happy place. Thank you so much for the ease of everything from getting the parking pass to having all the information needed to enter the house, and the very well explained information to close the house. Thank you again! We will be back! Pam
