Top Watts Bar Lake Hotel Reviews

Gorgeous Lake Home, Private Boat Dock | Sleeps 11

10/10 Excellent

"Peaceful , serenity, view was breathtaking Home very well maintained . Would have loved to have been able to have enjoyed it on an actual vacation , unfortunately we had a wedding to cook for , which the Two kitchens and two refrigerators came in very handy "

Private 3 Bed/2 Bath Watts Bar Lakehouse on Fenced 2 Acres [newly listed 2026]

10/10 Excellent

"This property was absolutely beautiful and attention to detail in all the finishes was evident. plenty of room my husband and I basically booked because the property is completely fenced and we have two large dogs and we like them to be off leash when we are on vacation. Mike’s place was perfect for that. I walked the whole property to check the fence for escape holes and it was great which Mike told me it would be. Bear and Chloe had all the room that they wanted. It was also cool because when you walked down from the house to the dock, there was a gate that shut off that area if you didn’t want them going down the steps so we couldn’t have asked for anything more places is really large downstairs had a couple bedrooms which we didn’t use since it was just the two of us and the two dogs, but it was really beautiful. Nice area.Cute little store right down the street, Dollar General that had everything. We did do some driving around the area as we were looking at property, Couldn’t have asked for a better experience and the owners were so easy to work with definitely stay here again"

Quiet comfortable mountain retreat, with Fast 500 mbps wifi

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I had a great overall experience! Cozy and quiet cabin in the woods. It was very clean and comfortable. Plenty of beds for a larger group as well. The king-sized bed in the main bedroom was nice; you usually only find queen-size and smaller in cabins like this.The kitchen had plenty of dishes and cooking implements, I was able to host my family for dinner.We initially rented the cabin because my sister lives in the area, but this location is good for hiking. Piney Falls, Rock Island State Park Ozone, Fall Creek and Virgin Falls are all nearby. Sweetwater and Kingston are within a 30-minute drive with Knoxville and Chattanooga TN about 60 minutes each. The Lost Sea Adventure in Sweetwater, Stone Mountain, Ruby Falls the zoo and aquarium in Chattanooga are all must see.My only issue was that after getting the "all fees included" price near the end of the booking process you find out that the owner requires you to buy insurance or give a large deposit which states there is no guarantee of return. The insurance was only relatively inexpensive, so it wasn't a deal breaker. I totally understand the owners need to be guaranteed payment if things are damaged, I just think it should be disclosed up front and not at the end of the booking process.We have already booked another week for Thanksgiving."

Watts Bar Lake House

10/10 Excellent

"Seriously Heaven on Earth. Great fishing, peaceful yard, & pure relaxation. Check in was simple, & the home was ready before the check in time. We used the marina right down the road to load & unload our boat. Our adult kids loved the hot tub & our youngest loved the ping pong table. The house is spacious & we all had our own space. We will definitely be back."

Stunning LakeViews | Private Boat Ramp, Sleeps 12!

10/10 Excellent

"We've been gathering three generations together at various lakehouses for several years and this is the best! Bunks on the lower level keep the grandsons together. There's a huge yard to play in and places to get out of occasional rain. Swimming, kayaking and boating are perfect from the deepwater dock with coves on both sides and main water right in front. And the view is magnificent! There's plenty of deck space to spread out and enjoy a meal off the grill. The owners are very helpful and make annual improvements. We'll be back!"
