It is full of beautiful acreage, surrounded by woods, and BREATHTAKING views! It is accompanied by a pool and hot tub area, dock, beach, sand volleyball, a boat ramp, kayaks, wood burning fire pit, all included! We even have a playground for the little ones with an in-ground trampoline!
Have boats or watercraft of your own Bring them! We have a boat ramp right onsite and plenty of room for your trailers, as well as docking. Play volleyball, corn hole, Beersbie, ladder golf, giant Jenga, life-sized chess, or just play in the cleanest, coolest water on the lake. The water comes right out of the mountains and dumps right at our feet. Great fishing as well in season. We are actually in one of the best areas to fish, right near Little River and Spring Creek! Eat s'mores by the campfire at the beach and watch AMAZING sunsets! String Light courtyard, privacy, and plenty of room to stretch out! SO much to do!

The views are incredible and the Main house has 1870's charm mixed with 21st century décor and conveniences. The Rose Cottage is adorable and the crazy 1930 home is so whacky and fun, with its uneven doors and slanted roofs. The new bungalow called "Stilts" is so pretty and loaded with heavy trim and upscale appointments. Breathtaking views of the lake, mountains and lawns from all units and you can even see how the sunset pours colors into the houses at "golden hour".

THE FOLLOWING ARE DISCLAIMERS
**DURING THE LAST SATURDAY OF MAY-SECOND SATURDAY IN AUGUST THE CHECK IN TIME IS 5PM CST & CHECK OUT TIME IS 12PM CST.
**The lake level does go down a few feet in late fall through early spring and may affect boat launch, dock usage, watersports or lake views.

**The lake recreation area is a good walk but is accessible by vehicle. Same with pool. We have 10 acres and you can drive right to the dock or pool if desired. Golf cart rentals available. Too much to describe, so please see pictures.
**Pool is Seasonal Memorial Day-Early Fall but lenient off-season. Please let us know if you would like to swim during early spring or later in fall, as we can heat it for a nominal pass-thru fee of propane usage. We do not offer winter swim in the pool but you can go in the lake any time you want.
**We do allow pets; however, there are requirements that must be met. Please discuss with us before booking.
CLEANING FEE DISCLAIMER: We are disenchanted that we have a pass-through cleaning fee so high these days but with everything going on in the country with higher costs and labor shortages, this is our new reality. We understand that when this fee is split by the large groups that is nominal per-person but we want you to know our hearts are that we wish it wasn’t so high regardless of that. It is a very large house to turn over in such a short amount of time and weekend help is extremely hard to find help. We only have 1780 people that live here so we have to be the highest paid to retain the best and they are AWESOME! Conversely, we are pleased to remind you that we have so much included with this property. Unlimited firewood, propane for grill and gas fire pit, all the coffee supplies you need except coffee. All sweeteners, powdered creamer, filters and we have a selection of tea. We have spices and oils galore. You don’t need to bring trash bags or paper goods either. We stock enough for your entire stay, not just a starter amount. Bathroom and facial tissues, paper towels, trash bags, napkins, salt and pepper shakers, dishwasher detergent, laundry detergent, aluminum foil, assorted sizes of zip lock bags, plastic Saran-type wrap, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, bar soap, Q-tips, cotton balls, filled hand soap dispensers throughout, kitchen sponges and Dawn dishwashing liquid. We have first aid kits. We have hospitality boxes with all sorts of things you and your guests may forget. There is a huge list of everything stocked for you if you would like us to send to you. Our guests have told us in reviews that all they need to bring is food and clothes. One last thing on cleaning: If you are going to check out on a weekday, please inquire if there will be a break in this fee. There is no way for us to separate it out so we would be happy to address on a case by case if you initiate. We are so thankful you are considering booking this AMAZING property.
Humbly,
Dave, Ann and our AMAZING Team

Another Family Vacation in the books. Everything was great again this year. Can't wait to next year.
The was so much to do while there it was crazy. No one was ever bored because there is just too much to do. Everybody was speechless when they arrived at how beautiful and large it was.
Amazing experience having our wedding weekend here! The venue is even more beautiful in person. Destinie was awesome and set up everything for us perfectly. 10/10 exceeded all our expectations
In searching for a place to stay for our church's Girls Getaway weekend we had a few criteria. Lot of large gathering spaces, hot tub preferred, and lots of things to do in the area that appealed to different personalities (lake, shopping, hiking, etc). This location filled every single thing on our list! We could not have asked for a better experience. From the first communication we were impressed...the house inventory spoke our love language and helped so much! The care of our group was amazing! Then we arrived and I can say nothing else other than everyone kept asking how do we tell the owners how much we appreciate their attention to detail? The hospitality boxes in each bathroom, the umbrellas, the stocked supplies, the ease of check in and check out...all.of.it! I could never thank Dave, Ann and those that work with them enough for the weekend they provided the absolutely perfect setting for! Some were talking of coming back with family, renewing vows here instead of the beach setting they'd planned, etc etc...We can not wait to come back! It's perfect in every single way!
We would highly recommend this place! It was amazing and had everything we needed. The owners were great to work with. This is a prefect place for large gathering. ❤️
We had a great time! Group of ladies from my church enjoyed a great weekend fellowshipping with one another. Accommodations are beautiful. Easy to get to. Only negative i would say is parking is down a hill and across the road. It was raining while we were there so that made it a little inconvenient. Well supplied with everything we needed. Would love to come back in the summer.
This property provided a beautiful and comfortable place for out of town family and friends to gather together to celebrate the life of my recently departed mother. The owners were very accommodating when some of our family arrived a couple of hours early, and they offered us a complimentary late checkout without our needing to ask. Everyone there complimented us on what a beautiful location we had chosen. The truth is we had asked the owners about the suitability of another one of their properties, and they promptly replied and redirected us to this one. We were concerned that it might be difficult for people to find, but in the age of smart phones and gps navigation, everyone made it without incident. The young children absolutely loved the tic-tac-toe blocks that were out on the table - I'm surprised none of them got lost! Overall it was a great experience at a difficult time in our family's lives.
This house (and accompanying cottage) became our “home away from home”. We are a large family & everyone is spread out geographically. All the siblings are married and there are 15 grandchildren from ages 1- 23! Getting together under one roof is a challenge. I organized our trip in September 2021 and the house I’d booked in Gatlinburg was sold and our reservation was not honored- we didn’t find out until September 2022. By that time, houses that would fit our large family had been booked for Thanksgiving. I expanded my search outside of Tennessee…and BAM! I found this gem. I knew it was the one for us when I saw it (also, the backdrop was gorgeous). I immediately messaged the owners and got a swift reply. In fact, they were quick to respond anytime I contacted them. Also, this house is decorated beautifully! And we were very comfortable hanging out, playing games, and watching TV in the main living area- all 30 of us! The outdoor spaces were well used going for walks, enjoying a bonfire, playing games, and relaxing in the hot tub. The kids under 8 years old had room to run and a great playground to entertain them. I feel like the Cedar Bluff area is a hidden gem! Just a quietly beautiful area; undisturbed by heavy tourism, and with easy access to shopping and restaurants. This thanksgiving wouldn’t have happened if it weren’t for this house and the wonderful people who own and manage it. Thank you for the memories!
We loved the property and entire stay. We are considering renting at the same time next year. Everything was nice clean and roomy. This was a very family friendly home
The house was perfectly clean and had everything we needed. It was a huge plus that every full size bedroom had their own full bathroom and that the bunk beds weren’t actual bunk beds but full sized so it fit 2 couples on them. The communication was always fast, pleasant, and clear. We loved our stay! It couldn’t have been any better!
We brought a group of 20 young adults for a retreat and this well exceeded our expectations! The pictures genuinely don’t even do it justice to how beautiful the house and views are. Very spacious and perfect layout. So many little touches that many probably don’t even notice - but as a fellow wedding venue owner, we noticed!! The owners were so easily accessible, reached out many times to make sure we didn’t need anything, and went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. The very same day we checked out, we booked for next year and added an extra night! You will not regret staying here!
Everything was as described. Great location, beautiful views, very well stocked with everything you need to host a large group. The owner’s responded to any questions immediately. We enjoyed our stay here more than any other Vrbo we have rented. I highly recommend this beautiful home.
We love this place. It is perfect for our family. The days on the lake with the kids playing in the water are precious memories we hope they hold a lifetime. We did family pictures there this year and they were great. We will be back again next year, already booked.
The magnolia house was better than we imagined! We had a wonderful time! Our hosts were on the spot ready to take care of our questions or concerns.
We had our family vacation at the Magnolia House. We rented the pontoon boat to enjoy tubing in the water. This kept the kids extremely happy. At night, we played corn hole, ping pong, cooked out, and laughed a lot. There is a hot tub for your enjoyment, also. It was the best family vacation ever for us.
We were very impressed it met or exceeded our expections. The facilities are well maintained and accomodating. Everyone from the ages of 4 to 70 said they would enjoy a return stay.
Wonderful rental for our large family group. We added the Rose Cottage after the first night to give our group of 36 a few more private bedrooms for the remainder of the weekend. The owner also facilitated the rental of his pontoon boat. The property manager and boat’s navigation system made our experience both safe and enjoyable.
This was a wonderful place with every need anticpated by the owners! I would Highly recommend the property!
Lots of fun on the lake boating, skiing, tubing. Beautiful home & beautiful spot on the lake!
