Hot Tub | 4 Kayaks | Great Swimming | Sleeps 10

ChelseaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Perfect accommodations for a family get together. Beautiful lake views. We only had an issue with parking. We all came from different places so we each had a car. As well as family that lived in the area so they drove in to visit daily. The house only fits 4 cars in the driveway. The extra parking the host provides is an 11 minute drive (22 round trip) I spent a lot of time shuttling family back and forth.

We have stayed at many Airbnbs across the country. So we know a good host and place. This has both. We have stayed at many of Allison's stays and they have never let us down. We highly recommend staying at one of their listings.

Lake Getaway w/ Hot Tub + Boat Slip – Pet Friendly

TimRating, 5 stars3 days ago

My kids and I were HUGE fans of this cool house. It will meet or exceed all your expectations as such a highly-rated home. For me, it was little things that elevated it even further: great bedding and towels, outlets everywhere, cool lamps and lighting. That might sound silly, but if you travel a lot you begin to notice it’s the little things that separate deservedly-great homes from truly special getaways. Kris’ home earns its place among with truly special.

Cabin in Goreville

Log Cabin w/ Clawfoot Tub & Starry Nights

CharisRating, 5 stars2 months ago

This is a perfect little cottage near the lake. It had everything we needed, including nice outdoor patio spaces for eating and a big firepit. You can't see much of the lake from the cottage, but it's easy to get to - across a quiet road and down a very long flight of stairs. There's a nice big dock for fishing, swimming, star gazing at night, boating, and just relaxing and enjoying the view (it's a particularly scenic section of the lake because there is no development on the other side of the water - just forest!). We loved having access to kayaks and enjoyed fishing off the dock. Would love to return in summer when we can swim and do even more water activities!

LynnRating, 5 stars1 week ago

We really enjoyed our stay in the Wildflower cabin- it was clean, nicely decorated and contained everything we needed to relax and take in the beautiful surroundings. Allison was an excellent host, providing frequent communication and clear directions, to make sure we had everything we needed. We were close to wineries as well as hiking trails. We would definitely return for another stay.

HotTub! FirePit, Private Pond, GameRoom! Slps12+

PatriciaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Amazing get away to spend time with our grown kids and their families. Lots to do with the game room, fire pit, kayaks, fishing, etc… this location is pet friendly and had a very large fenced in porch with the dogs loved. We took walks on the winding country roads and met minimal cars. But those that did drive by met us with a wave and a smile. One car stopped to admire our pets and welcome us to the area and said how thankful they were to have guests in the area. We will definitely make this an annual stay.
