Whether you are looking for a peaceful quiet sanctuary or are planning a full-energy family vacation with the kids, this hidden gem on Watts Bar Lake is the perfect choice!

There is also a full bath and guest room with a queen bed and TV on the main level.
Downstairs you will find a common area with a billiards table and large TV. The door leads out to a lower level patio with seating and a perfect place to hang our Eno hammock in the shade. You can also enjoy a hot oak in our large spa that seats 7-8 people. This patio is level with the spacious grassy back yard and fire pit, for roasting s’mores of course!
There are three bedrooms downstairs, two with king beds, and one with a twin over twin bunk bed and two additional twin beds. (4 mattresses total) The bedroom with the twin beds includes a large TV. One bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and TV. There is an adjoining full bathroom between the other two bedrooms. All TVs include cable and Netflix.
In the garage, there is a golf cart available for use on the quaint wooded path that leads from the house to the waterfront/private boat dock. It is a delightful shaded walk that takes less than 5 minutes. (Approx. 200 yards.) The private two-story dock has an upper deck for enjoying the beautiful lake view. During May-October, guests are welcome to dock their boat and/or jet ski in our open boat slip or jet ski lift. The launch ramps at Watt's Bar Dam are a 15-minute drive and a 5-minute boat ride from our property. Lake water levels are lowered during winter months. Reference the TVA Operating Guide for Watt's Bar Lake for more details online. Boat rentals are available from 3 different local marinas, listed below.
We also have a paddle board, an open water kayak, and life jackets available for your enjoyment on the water. While the lake is not visible from the house, the easy close access makes it a wonderful amenity to enjoy.

This hidden gem is conveniently located approximately 1 hour south of Knoxville, 1 hour north of Chattanooga, and 2.5 hours from Nashville. Watts Bar Lake is 38,000 acres of fishing, swimming, and boating paradise.
The quaint town of Spring City offers a grocery store and several restaurants, just 15 minutes away.
Under an hour away, you can visit Fall Creek Falls State Park, Lost Sea Caverns, Crossville golf courses & outlet mall, several wineries, Sweetwater Valley cheese, Mayfield Dairy, or the historic downtown Dayton, TN.
Driving just over an hour will get you to either Chattanooga or Knoxville area attractions such as Neyland Stadium, Knoxville Zoo, Lookout Mountain with Rock City & Ruby Falls, Chattanooga Aquarium, Chickamauga Civil War Battlefield, art museums, theatres, and much more.
It would also be easy to take a day trip to the attractions in Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and Sevierville such as Dollywood, Ober Gatlinburg, Ripley’s, Dixie Stampede, etc.
If you choose to bring a boat or jet ski, we recommend using the ramps at Watt's Bar Dam Reservation, as you cannot launch from our property. The dam is a 15 minute drive from the house and about a 5 minute boat ride to our dock.
We recommend Blue Springs Marina, Arrowhead Resort, or Terrace View Marina for Bass Boat and Pontoon Boat Rentals. We advise reserving these prior to your stay.

About the Owner
I grew up in a home where guests were always welcome, so my love for providing hospitality started at a young age. Being your host is fun and meaningful because I love providing a beautiful space where you can relax, make fun memories with those you love, and find rest for your heart, soul, and mind. I started hosting our first rental as a fun side project, but soon discovered that we wanted to keep growing our business through building new homes that are specifically designed for our guests. We took 5 of our 7 North Ridge Escapes properties from empty lots to the beautiful furnished properties available today! It’s a new found love and form of art with a meaningful purpose. My husband and I have been married for over 15 years and love living in Chattanooga. We are enjoying these short, sweet, and crazy years as parents of four tiny humans! We love our church, Calvary Chapel Northside, and enjoy family adventures outside as much as possible. We are honored to have you as our guest and I'm happy to answer any questions you have through Airbnb messages or text. Beth has been a Superhost since 2019! Superhosts are experienced, highly rated hosts who are committed to providing great stays for guests.Location
