"Great location"

"This is maybe our 4th or 5th stay--the lake cottage is always clean, well-equipped, and a perfect haven!"

"Very very clean and in a fabulous location! Commiunication with Jake was great, even after a little check in hiccup. I would definitely recommend!"

"We didn’t need to leave all weekend! So much to do and enjoy on the property."

"Check in was easy. Location was key for this stay! We came to town to see a concert at the Surf Ballroom. The place was clean and stocked with the basic needs for our stay. We were able to easily walk to the surf within 5 minutes. The place was on the cozy side, but there was only 3 of us, so it fit our needs. The place was nicely decorated and very clean. We would stay again!"

"My family used to live just across the lake from this house so it was great to come back and spend time at Lake Cornelia. This is a great little retreat. We so enjoyed our time."

"We loved this place. Spotless and comfy. We’ll be back for sure! "

"Property was clean, in a great location, and fully stocked with everything we needed for our stay!"

"It was great! Hope to visit again. "

"This property is in a convenient location. Upon entering we noticed stain all over the living room carpet. So gross. Also, the comforters on two of the beds looked dirty and had stains/ marks in many places. The fridge looked dirty too. The beds were comfortable."

"Great stay. Nice roomy place to stay. Stayed nice and cool during hot summer. Had a small issue and Kelly fixed it right away. Definitely will stay here again. "

"This house is quite small, but honestly you don't come to Clear Lake to sit in your house! The location is great, the beds were nice, and the air conditioning worked great on a hot weekend! "

"There are no pet friendly hotels in Knoxville so we were very happy to find this pretty house for our stay when back for a family funeral. Pros: ample parking, good location, very clean, large space, nice kitchen, large yard, DISH TV, pet friendly, rapid response from owner, sleeps multiple people Cons: sleeps multiple people but only 1 key provided, couches don’t face TV, 2 BRs have no doors so there is privacy only for people in upstairs BR, outlet in basement bath not working "

"We stayed here on a trip for the Knoxville Nationals. Went to the John Wayne Museum, seen the bridges. The house is a nice house, met many locals at the pharmacy-resturaunt in the square downtown, very friendly, ate at several other local spots, all good service and food. The area is quiet and the house in great shape, clean, had plenty of towels and comfortable beds. Would definitely recommend if you need a place in this area. "
