We loved our week at this peaceful, beautiful, and comfortable lake house. When we weren't floating or. paddling on the lake, we were enjoying eating, reading, hot tubbing, or playing games on the deck overlooking an amazing, panoramic view of the mountains and lake. We made some day trips from the house - 45 min to Gaitlinberg, 45-60 min into Smoky Mountain National Park (did some great warterfall hikes - Laurel Falls and Grotto Falls), an hour to Knoxville, 1.5hrs to Ashville. Beautiful scenery where ever you go! The house was a great spot to relax, restore, and reconnect with nature. The lake was calm (not too busy with boats), refreshing, and just what the doctor ordered!
