AMAZING COVE! 3 Bed/2Ba Lakefront Home - Hot Tub, Smart TVs, EV Charger, Firepit

This was a fantastic property that checked all the boxes. Definitely will plan on staying again

Great communication with host, he was always quick to reply. House was clean and well-stocked, beds were comfortable. Outdoor area was fantastic- multi-level deck with lots of seating, hot tub, and fire pit. It is a little out of the way to get to but in general still just 15-20 minutes to get to most things. Very peaceful area, we barely heard anyone else around. A couple of notes: our fault for not noticing on the listing but there’s no shampoo or bath soap so bring your own. There are also no local (antenna) channels available so you either get things through your own subscription apps or the Roku tv channels. We weren’t able to watch a game we wanted on Fox because it wasn’t on our apps or the tv.This house is great for families and is probably a lot of fun in summer when you can be outside more (was mostly cold and rainy when we were there.)

Wonderful place with beautiful views of the lake.

My stay was relaxing and serene—exactly what I was hoping for! Everything listed in the description and amenities was available and just as described. The host was friendly and easy to communicate with, making the experience smooth from start to finish. I especially loved the beautiful lake views from the various sitting areas around the property. A peaceful getaway I’d definitely recommend!

Just like home! The kitchen was well-stocked, the beds were so comfy, and the view from the large decks was so amazing! This home was spotless and decorated perfectly. Don't hesitate, just go ahead and book now! The owner was very nice and quick to respond to my questions. There is also a nice big driveway and only a couple of steps, which made it so easy for me to carry my luggage inside. Thank you for the great memories.

Nice place to stay in the fairly secluded Cove we were able to bring our boat and park it on the side of the dock which worked out perfect with plenty of bumpers just around the corner. There’s a nice restaurant the boathouse which is a very upscale place has a swim up pool bar. There’s three gas stations within half hour mile of the place the lake is very great miles of boat rides and things to see caught some fish while we’re there we definitely will be back

The property was exactly as described in the listing and pictures. Everything was well stocked (down to the dish and laundry detergent, TP, hand soap, garbage bags and never opened kitchen sponges). The view was great from the large covered deck. It was too hot to use the hot tub, but that looked fun. We did take advantage of the large black stone grill. Andrew was very responsive with my inquiries prior to check in and during. We did have a slight issue with the Wi-Fi touch pad entry but Andrew was quick to resolve. Just a little heads up, the top bunk in the bedroom is for persons 100lbs and lighter. We used the lower bunk and the futon, so no issues for us. We really enjoyed our stay, the location on the lake was perfect and we would definitely book this place again!

The rental was clean and had everything we needed. Wish we could have stayed longer!

So many places on the property to relax & enjoy the lake views! Owner was very responsive. Fireworks were fantastic! Kids watched them while swimming in the lake! Such awesome memories made for them! Jumping platform on the dock was a hit for all of us! Watching boats & wave runners go by all day was great! The kind neighbors offered us a boat ride to Docknockers for lunch in their super speedy boat! How blessed we were! The house was very roomy, well equipped, super clean, nautically decorated & comfy beds! More than enough space for the 6 of us. Super excited to find Himalayan pink salt with the spices to use (so so good for you)! Coffee was great! Hot tub was a nightly delight! The kitties, ducks & squirrels that visited brought us much joy! Would definitely stay here again! We were very blessed indeed to have found it available for Independence Day weekend!

The property was amazing and andrew was fast to reply. Had an amazing week

Our stay at Making Waves was absolutely perfect. The home, deck, and dock were all stunning—every space was thoughtfully designed and beautifully maintained. The amenities and supplies went above and beyond anything we expected; from the well-stocked kitchen to the cozy touches throughout the home, it truly felt like a luxurious bed and breakfast. It was the perfect pocket of peace for our group—a serene, welcoming escape that we’ll never forget. Highly recommend!

Took my 2 young daughters for spring break somewhere different but similar this year compared to our prior few years. We’ve gone to the Smoky Mountains in recent years but wanted a different type of nature escape this year! Makin’ Waves was legit a great time. My girls loved wandering down to the dock just to hangout and dip their toes in the water. When we weren’t outside, we enjoyed the spacious, comfortable, and very clean house! Stark Caverns black light cave tour was cool, Redhead Lakeside Grill was a good lunch out, and overall, the 5-night stay was great. Andrew was easy to get a hold of when I initially had an inquiry about my entry code. We’d definitely stay again!

We just had a remarkable stay at Makin’Waves Lodge. The view is great and the house itself is spacious, spotless, and packed with every amenity you could want, from a fully stocked kitchen to cozy beds that make you never want to leave. The multiple outdoor spaces are perfect for morning coffee or evening cocktails, and the hot tub was a relaxing plus! The hosts were super responsive and went above and beyond. Hands down, a wonderful getaway spot—already counting the days until we can come back!

It was great! All the kitchen things to cook a Thanksgiving feast and room to relax! Hot tub and fishing off the dock was also a highlight. Highly recommend!

We had a good time with family at this property. The dock was great, and the location was nice. There were some things that might need to be looked at in the near future. The stairs down to the dock were needing repair. The last step was hard to maneuver. The BBQ was very greasy and other furniture on the deck also. The house was clean and worked great for the seven of us with plenty of room.

The house was adorable and very clean. We all slept very well after long days of playing in the lake. The kitchen is very spacious for cooking. We loved the options on the property, swimming, using the dock for our jetski, the hot tub, and having campfires. Beautiful!

We had a great stay at Makin’ Waves lodge. Everything was as described. Outdoor area in back was super accommodating with a large covered patio, hot tub area, fire pit area, large swim dock, and lots of sitting options to just relax and enjoy the beautiful view!

This trip was just what we needed. The property was beautiful and serene. We were able to enjoy the hot tub and the fire pit in peace and quiet.

We enjoyed being right on the water - spent time on the lake tubing, floating, fishing. Especially enjoyed the covered deck for morning coffees, afternoon naps, and evening card playing! Not many mosquitoes to speak of which made it even more enjoyable. We ate in some thanks to the fully stocked kitchen and also ate out some too. Definitely used the on-site laundry too. Highly recommend, especially if you want a quieter area of the lake with quick access to everything!
