About this property
Gorgeous Lakefront Log Home w/ Pool & Boat Dock on 3 Fenced Acres! Dogs Welcomed
This exceptionally clean and beautiful lakefront log home, a Chalet more than a cabin, on year-round deep water is perfect for your next vacation and family gathering. The spacious yet cozy 2900+ Square Foot home is situated on a bluff overlooking the main channel of Watts Bar Lake and the Tennessee River. The views from the house, pool, two story dock and numerous decks surrounding the house are spectacular! The three-acre fenced, cross fenced and gated, wooded lot provides a feeling of privacy and seclusion yet is only minutes from the city. Fabulous shopping and dining at Turkey Creek in west Knoxville are only 25 minutes away.
The screened-in porch is everyone's favorite spot to unwind after a day on the lake. Watch boats go up and down the lake or sit and listen to storms blow through the area while staying dry. Cocktails and snacks are never interrupted by bugs as the porch is fully screened and has fans to keep the air moving.
The master suite has a king-sized bed with a new Tuft & Needle mattress, whirlpool bath and adjoins the screened-in porch. The guest suite has a fabulous 4-poster queen bed and expansive views of the lake. The third bedroom overlooks the pool and lake and has a deluxe queen bed, 2 twin beds and 2 new Spa Sensation queen mattresses. This room has a SmartTV with cable and a pool table. The fourth bedroom has a queen memory foam bed a SmartTV and separate A/C unit for comfort.
The Great Room has a large stone fireplace and a large flat screen SmartTV with premium channels. The Netflix App is also available as well as Xfinity's Streampix video library. It also has a DVD player attached to the entertainment system. Wi-Fi is available on all floors and from every room with good cell phone coverage throughout if you use AT&T or Verizon network.
The deep water, two level dock with year-round water on 39,000 acre Watts Bar Lake is the perfect access for all types of water sports and some of the best fishing in East Tennessee. And with over 400 feet of waterfront, you will have plenty of quiet time down at the dock. The top level of the dock is great for hanging out with family or just enjoying the sun and the views.
From the decks, you will get 180-degree views of Watts Bar Lake comprising a portion of the Tennessee River. You will see barges float by on their way to Knoxville and Chattanooga or a fleet of boats heading to a Vols football games at Neyland Stadium in the Fall.
The pool is open from late April or early May where it gets plenty of day time sun to warm up quickly until late September when the weather is still warm enough to enjoy a dip in the pool with spectacular views of the lake all year around.
Watts Bar Lake consists of over 770 miles of shoreline to explore along with 14 islands and several places to cliff dive from over 80 feet high. The lake extends over 72 miles from the Watts Bar Dam up to Ft. Loudon Dam with the maximum depth of 70 feet typically found around the dam.
As part of the Tennessee Riverline 652 pilot program... Roane County and the surrounding communities including Harriman, Mid-Town, Rockwood and Kingston are all part of the Tennessee vision for a continuous system of hiking, biking, and on-water experiences along the 652-mile reach of the Tennessee River from Knoxville, TN, to Paducah, KY.
Castleton Farms and Whitestone Country Inn are two beautiful wedding venues and less than 30 minutes away from the home. A new wedding venue within the Harriman area, Manor at Stowers Hill is only 13 minutes from the home. Several of our guests have had their bridesmaids’ readiness parties at the home with plenty of room for everyone to dress to get ready for the big day with many beautiful gathering areas with amazing backdrops for pictures.
Frozen Head State Park, Ozone Falls and Big South Fork National Recreation Area are both very close by, a little over 30 minutes away and beautiful for hiking and other outdoor activities. Windrock Off Road Park is only 35 minutes away with over 300 miles of off road trails within a 72,000-acre park.
Several marinas rent pontoon boats with the closest being Caney Creek Marina only 10 minutes away with some of the best boat rentals on the lake. There is a boat ramp nearby as well if you bring your own boat with room for a boat in the slip and a boat on the side of the dock. Plenty of parking spaces available on the property to park your trailer(s) and to park several cars. We also have added a connection for your Tesla and other electric vehicles charged during your stay at the home.

Property was awesome and as described. My crew and boss felt comfortable and Chris is an excellent host! Very accommodating and flexible.Would highly recommend!
Check-in was seamless. Super comfortable accommodations, well equipped. Really appreciated the large fenced yard for our active dog (Hungarian shepherd). The location is awesome too. Probably in our top 2 for vrbo stays. We'll be back!

In town for a wedding and found this gem! Highly recommend for a large group instead of hotel rooms.
We had such a wonderful time staying at this beautiful house on the lake! We are actually locals live less than 30 minutes away and was able to enjoy some much needed family time with extended family and do some fishing off the dock. If it is was warmer we would have had the kayaks out but maybe for a future stay! We also had a small get together for my parents 50th anniversary (immediate family only) this home provided the most beautiful back drop The property owner was amazing to deal with.
The week we spent on the property was so much fun and a perfect place to create memories! It was a little rainy but even rainy days were fun and filled with games, laughter, and love.
Wonderful week spent with my husband, son, daughter, son in law and their dog. We rented a pontoon from Caney creek marina and spent the week boating, fishing, swimming and playing games.
Amazing spot. We rented in December, and while it would be incredible in the summer months, it was still terrific. Great for families with young children.
Great week at this vacation home for a family with 3 generations. Plenty of room for all; kitchen was adequately stocked, beds were comfortable, screened porch provided a beautiful spot to start and end the day, and the pool was a huge hit. Highly recommend!
Beautiful cabin home on the lake. Plenty of room for our family of 5 adults and our 2 1/2 year old granddaughter. We relaxed and enjoyed spending time together.
We stayed for a short trip for my wife’s birthday with our 2 dogs.The owner was great and ensured us we had nothing to worry about with the fully fenced yard. He was right the yard is huge and fully fenced with every nook sealed. We had a great time around the pool two decks over looking the lake. The property was very clean and organized. Would stay here again.
Unless you have a very very sneaky dog, the property is fenced in, well taken care of, and absolutely beautiful. The lake is not overly crowded, very relaxing and the place was unbelievably clean. There was everything we needed there, we did not want or need for anything. Thank you for sharing your home!
We all had a fabulous time here. The grandchildren enjoyed playing outside in the large fenced yard. They enjoyed the arcade games and pool table. Having the large dining room table allowed all of us to be able to play board games together. The place was clean and well provisioned. This place would be even more fun in the summer with the pool and kayaks. We would recommend staying here. Having only one bathroom upstairs called for some scheduling, but we made it work.
It was wonderful to find plenty of plates, utensils, and other basics in kitchen for preparing meals. Outdoor deck and pool area were more than anyone needs to enjoy the outdoors. Our pooch loved the wooded fenced in property. There were 6 of us, and we all agreed that your home would be a wonderful place to re-visit on another "USMC Reunion". Chris is a thorough attentive host. Thanks!
The perfect layout for spending time with friends and family. We went to Ozone falls, Potters Falls, The lost sea adventure - Craighead caverns, Kayaking, fishing on my sons bass boat, the pool was awesome especially since this week was brutally hot, rented a pontoon boat from Caney Creek marina for 3 days - they are so friendly- we just love Phil, the manager. Chris / owner is incredible. He was very accommodating and very quick to respond to any questions. He is extremely helpful with things to do in the area. The space was very clean and had all of the necessities for a fun filled family vacation. We will be back
This is a beautiful cabin situated on a lake. My wife and I visited with our golden retriever. For those with a dog or two, this property is ideal, with a huge area that is fenced and secure.
The cabin itself is great—lots of beds for a a larger group, a fully equipped kitchen, a cozy fireplace, and a really nice pool.
The owner, Chris, was extremely helpful in planning our visit, suggesting a number of local restaurants and hiking venues. As an aside, the local Kroger store is one of the nicest supermarkets I’ve ever visited, so stocking up with groceries and household supplies is a piece of cake.
I really can’t say enough about how fantastic our visit was; our only regret is that we didn’t have more time in our schedule for a longer stay. If I could give this property more than five stars, I certainly would.
