Neighbors were very friendly and floating deck was great for us to swim, kayak, and lounge around. There was even a fridge on it for us to use. Didn't get around to using fire pit but used a different deck level each night. However, the house was just not clean. Items were left behind from the previous stay along with dust. The hot tub had an odor that made it unusable despite it being a big reason we chose the place. To their credit, the host was extremely responsive when made aware of the cleanliness issue. With better cleaners, this would have been a great stay. Minor things: Stairs were quite steep getting to deck. Lack of pans for cooking. ##### Andrew H.

Aug 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Nice place to stay in the fairly secluded Cove we were able to bring our boat and park it on the side of the dock which worked out perfect with plenty of bumpers just around the corner. There’s a nice restaurant the boathouse which is a very upscale place has a swim up pool bar. There’s three gas stations within half hour mile of the place the lake is very great miles of boat rides and things to see caught some fish while we’re there we definitely will be back ![Sunrise off the dock ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2b9426f0-fa47-48e1-8843-cd42ec95da29-1754740729448.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b6893dcb-7969-4964-9472-5ee75ef4fb36-1754740731708.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![The boathouse pool bar ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f9ca71e4-3baf-4e66-b3a2-5ece853a0b0a-1754740825660.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![The deck over looking water ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/517929de-5a26-474a-861d-a09cee8859ec-1754740828180.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Christopher P.

The property was exactly as described in the listing and pictures. Everything was well stocked (down to the dish and laundry detergent, TP, hand soap, garbage bags and never opened kitchen sponges). The view was great from the large covered deck. It was too hot to use the hot tub, but that looked fun. We did take advantage of the large black stone grill. Andrew was very responsive with my inquiries prior to check in and during. We did have a slight issue with the Wi-Fi touch pad entry but Andrew was quick to resolve. Just a little heads up, the top bunk in the bedroom is for persons 100lbs and lighter. We used the lower bunk and the futon, so no issues for us. We really enjoyed our stay, the location on the lake was perfect and we would definitely book this place again! ##### Jennifer O.

So many places on the property to relax & enjoy the lake views! Owner was very responsive. Fireworks were fantastic! Kids watched them while swimming in the lake! Such awesome memories made for them! Jumping platform on the dock was a hit for all of us! Watching boats & wave runners go by all day was great! The kind neighbors offered us a boat ride to Docknockers for lunch in their super speedy boat! How blessed we were! The house was very roomy, well equipped, super clean, nautically decorated & comfy beds! More than enough space for the 6 of us. Super excited to find Himalayan pink salt with the spices to use (so so good for you)! Coffee was great! Hot tub was a nightly delight! The kitties, ducks & squirrels that visited brought us much joy! Would definitely stay here again! We were very blessed indeed to have found it available for Independence Day weekend! ##### Jill S.

Took my 2 young daughters for spring break somewhere different but similar this year compared to our prior few years. We’ve gone to the Smoky Mountains in recent years but wanted a different type of nature escape this year! Makin’ Waves was legit a great time. My girls loved wandering down to the dock just to hangout and dip their toes in the water. When we weren’t outside, we enjoyed the spacious, comfortable, and very clean house! Stark Caverns black light cave tour was cool, Redhead Lakeside Grill was a good lunch out, and overall, the 5-night stay was great. Andrew was easy to get a hold of when I initially had an inquiry about my entry code. We’d definitely stay again! ##### Robb B. Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charles O.

The multiple outdoor spaces are perfect for morning coffee or evening cocktails, and the hot tub was a relaxing plus! The hosts were super responsive and went above and beyond.

The dock was great, and the location was nice. There were some things that might need to be looked at in the near future. The stairs down to the dock were needing repair. The last step was hard to maneuver. The BBQ was very greasy and other furniture on the deck also. The house was clean and worked great for the seven of us with plenty of room. ##### Joanna F.

Jun 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location, perfect for our family of 6 We enjoyed being right on the water - spent time on the lake tubing, floating, fishing. Especially enjoyed the covered deck for morning coffees, afternoon naps, and evening card playing! Not many mosquitoes to speak of which made it even more enjoyable. We ate in some thanks to the fully stocked kitchen and also ate out some too. Definitely used the on-site laundry too. Highly recommend, especially if you want a quieter area of the lake with quick access to everything! ##### Sara U.

May 13, 2024 #### Pleasant stay We enjoyed our stay at Makin Waves Lodge. Very clean and comfortable, no problems at all. The property is on a very peaceful part of the lake and easy to get to. Also just a short drive to everything around the lake. The owner is very easy to communicate with and very accommodating. We would recommend this property for those wanting a relaxing, comfortable stay. ##### Terry H.
