Waterfront Cottage on Watts Bar Lake, View + Dock

Cottage with a View: Escape to our charming cottage set on a hill with stunning views of our a quiet cove on Watts Bar Lake. It’s the best of small-town lake life with all the conveniences like WiFi and a grocery store just 3 miles away.

With touches of nature throughout the space, stay in our home comfortably with family and friends. The semi-open floor plan allows for everyone to spend time together in common areas while having the option to retreat to more privacy in one of the cozy bedrooms. But, you really visit to spend time outdoors, so grill on the expansive deck just off the kitchen (propane responsibility of the guest) with a cold/warm drink, pull up a chair at the outdoor dining table, on the dock or by the fire pit next to the lake to relax and enjoy your time here!

Have a boat? Dock it with us! But, we don’t have a boat ramp on the property and aren’t able to offer access to the lifts/power on the dock.

For families with small children: We know traveling with little ones requires a lot of stuff! We hope to help take a little of that burden off you by keeping a few supplies around the cottage. We have a baby gate for the stairs (though there is also a door at the top of the stairs), toys, books, games, infant play mat, changing pad and a few feeding basics like children’s table settings. All exterior doors except the front door are contained by the gated fence, limiting the number of openings with water access for littles.

Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have specific questions!

Family visit
This is a great property, our favorite part was the beautiful view from the deck. We enjoyed our stay. There were not floats, kayaks, but we did rent a boat for a day and dock it. Clean and spacious home!

Christmas with the family
Stayed for a week over Christmas. The house is at a great location, photos match the website. The house was clean and bigger inside than it looks. We had plenty of space, but not enough furniture for the family to eat or sit (6 adults). Negatives were the furniture was limited and not very comfortable. There were some details (towel racks, toilet paper holder, etc.) that need to be finished in the house, but overall it was nice.

Don't forget your extension cords
There is no electricity to the dock. There are no paddle boards or kayaks. Although it states they are available. If you need electricity or lights to the dock you'll need to buy 200 feet worth of extension cords! Recommend by home owner! It looks like they have started some renovations (painting in livingroom) , probably should wait until off season for that. It was very clean. Great area. Great views.

Fun on the lake
Neighborhood was very nice and quiet. The front was a little steep but normal for lake front property. Lots of parking space for cars and boat trailers. Back deck was great overlooking lake, boat slip, and fire pit. We used the fire pit next to the shore every night. Looking forward to booking again next year with the whole family.

Great Lake Views
Clean interior and recently remodeled. Exterior needs some work. No power to the boat dock. Limited exterior lighting. Beautiful lake views and quiet neighborhood.
