Poolside Mountain Retreat - Hot Tub, Fire Pit/ Minimum Age Requirement of 25 yrs

POOL SEASON - Memorial Weekend through Labor Day Weekend (3 night minimum during this time frame)

This place has it ALL! Poolside Mountain Retreat is located in the private gated community of Lakeland Estates; just 90 minutes from Atlanta or Chattanooga. This retreat offers commanding views from its indoor and outdoor living areas and provides the comfort and luxury of mountain living at it's best!

Privately situated, Poolside Mountain Retreat has its own private salt water swimming pool. Whether tanning on the pool deck, getting some exercise in or just enjoying watching the kids have a blast, we think you'll agree, there's something special about having a pool in the mountains! The large luxury hot tub is the perfect place to unwind after a long drive to the mountains or a full day of activity.

It is not uncommon to see some of this area's wildlife (black bear, deer, wild turkeys) along the property. For a better view of the entire area, visit the "Lookout Tower", the perfect spot to read, meditate or enjoy your favorite drink with that someone special!

Using Poolside Mountain Retreat as your 'base"', you and your group may want to enjoy area mountain activities such as rafting, fishing, golf, power boating and skiing on Carter’s Lake, mountain biking, horse back riding, ziplining, shopping, etc. Of course, like many, you many decide you don't want to leave this place and just hang out and enjoy everything this home has to offer. Ready for some fun? Welcome to the beautiful game room on the terrace level, complete with pool table, air hockey, foosball and darts. The 2nd living area complete with large flat screen TV, beautiful leather seating provides another place to relax, watch a great movie or just hang out with family/friends.

The spacious, well appointed kitchen offers all stainless steel appliances and everything needed to whip up some fabulous meals. And since you only live once, why not enjoy a massage while you're at it? Whether you have it outside in the fresh mountain air or in the privacy of your beautiful cabin, you will be glad you splurged on this indulgence!

Whether you are looking to spend time with that special someone, your family, friends, small group, or having a business retreat, Poolside Mountain Retreat will leave everyone with a smile and a question.....When can we do this again?!

Just okay
Overall, our stay was just OK. The pool is much smaller than it appears in the pictures, but does have a great view of the mountains. As far as beds go, there are 5 beds (sleeps 9 adults) and the rest are pull-outs and couches. The kitchen supplies need a facelift: pans/utensils/cups & plates are old, scratched and need to be replaced. There were several outlets that didn't work and lamps need new bulbs. We also had curtains that we had to hang back up in one bedroom. Critters: we had a small scorpion in the house, and lots of critters that we had to get out of the pool (scorpion, lizard, worms). I've stayed at several cabins in the area, and this one was just OK.

Relaxing week in the mountains
Wonderful location with plenty of parking. The pool, hot tub & fire pit were awesome extras. Thankfully we brought our own canopy for the pool, the umbrella in the picture was not provided. Kitchen was equipped to cook a family meal. It was a short drive to the aquarium in Chattanooga, horseback riding, fishing & hiking nearby. A few things that wasn't a positive experience. A spindle was broken on the 2nd floor that my 22 month old grandson found. He could have fallen through. I contacted the emergency number but the spindle was not temporarily fixed until 4 days after I reported it. The light over the shower was out and the extra sink in the master did not work and was never fixed while we were there. The sink in the kitchen started leaking, dripping into basement living area. My son had to work on it to make it stop leaking. The TV in the living room was unusable for most of our stay as DirecTV had to come out for a repair and the DVD player was unhooked and DVDs missing. The majority of the house was clean with the exception of several dead scorpions and bugs laying around on the floors. There was a tunnel spider and mysterious stain in basement BR, toilets were taped but moldy. We had to shower and bathe grandbabies in rusty water for most of the week because the hot water was brown and smelled of rust. I am assuming the place hadn't been occupied in awhile. With better cleaning and quicker response to repairs this could've been a 5 star review with no complaints.

This property was actually nicer than in the pictures. Very clean and well stocked. The hot tub needed to be cleaned and the property owners sent someone out the same day. She did an excellent job cleaning and refilling the hot tub. Downstairs fireplace didn’t work but overall it was a great vacation!

Nice family vacation spot.
Other than the plumbing problem with the master suite bathroom that remained unusable for our entire stay and the pool needing proper care to eliminate the frog eggs we enjoyed our stay. We understand that you can’t control frogs in the woods but with proper chemicals it would of eliminated the problem, they had someone come and clean it for us which we greatly appreciate. We loved the location and this home had so much entertainment for everyone. Definitely a great vacation place for family.

Mice droppings on Bed
We recently stayed at this property. We were a little disappointed not being able to use the pool, but we wanted to make the best of it. The first night was awesome, we played board games, pool, the arcade games, and just had a great time. Going to sleep we noticed there was some droppings on the downstairs bed. We were a little grossed out about it and had to sleep on the couch in the living room. The next morning we wanted to still try to make the best of it, but were exhausted from the lack of sleep. We went ahead and cleaned, washed the linens for the bed downstairs. We set up the bed after everything was fresh and went out for some lunch. When we returned we wanted to take a nap. But again, new droppings on the already cleaned bed. So there was defiantly a mouse downstairs. When we tried to express this to the property manager, they shrugged it off. Not a big deal to them nor any sympathy. Almost like they are worn out and do not care about maintaining good customer service. I wanted to see if there was a way to remedy this situation because I know reviews about vermin on the beds would really throw people away. They didn't care. So here I am writing the review. The place is extremely gorgeous and a lot of fun. But no one likes sleeping with mice. Very Unfortunate.

We all loved our staying here. Comfy beds, fun games and movies and we loved the hot tub (pool was closed due to the season). Could use more trash bags, toilet paper, paper towel and towels in general especially kitchen towels. Overall though the place is fully equipped with lots to do! Definitely want to come back!

Beautiful Cabin
The cabin is beautiful big and spacious, plenty of room for a family of 15. We love the view and enjoy the fire pit. The cleaning wasn’t what we expected, they can do better. We arrived Friday evening around 6:30 pm. I started walking through the cabin went through all the rooms everything nice and beautiful! I went to the 3rd floors (sunroom) their were a lot of dead small lady bugs around the windows and the sleeping area. The loft area has a double sofa bed, the mattress was torn and worn out had red stains and it was very uncomfortable. The game room is nice, big and spacious, lots of entertainment for the whole family. The fireplace does not work k, we also found a dead mouse! In the middle of the sitting area on the rug. I had to pick it up with my hands, disgusting! Then I hear my daughter and granddaughters screaming and running, I ran upstairs and they where all running from another mouse In the main living room, It ran under the couches. My husband and son tried to catch it but had no luck.. I messaged the host way before 8pm and they did not respond to the next day. They apologize and said that it was that time of the year/weather that they look for a warm place. Yes! We had to stay in the cabin with mice…. Saturday morning we tried to turn the hot tub on it wasn’t working, the control panel was off or broken. I called the office a couple of times during business hours no answer, I left a message didn’t get a call back! I send a texted and emailed, no reply. I sent a direct message to the host, I never heard back from anyone. The hot tub does not work properly. Overall the cabin is big and beautiful we had fun. I would suggest for them to send mice exterminator, also needs new sofa bed mattress, maintenance or fix the hot tub and most importantly respond the the paying guest.

We absolutely loved the house and location. With mostly teenage kids now the separation of the game room and living room was perfect. Very spacious all throughout the house.
