This may be the nicest, most thoughtful house we have ever used, and we have rented many! It was easy to find, accessing the house couldn't have been easier, and it was just beautiful inside and out. The main room had plenty of seating and a large TV. There were plenty of bedrooms (loved the large beds for everybody) and bathrooms, and we enjoyed using the pool table and hot tub. The host went beyond in that there were some snacks and drinks provided, and the master bathroom even had toothbrushes, etc. available if something was forgotten. The large back yard enclosed with trees was so relaxing and quiet, and the walk to the pier was short and scenic. Several outdoor seating areas added to our enjoyment. The house is close to a cute town with a grocery store, shops, and restaurants, and about an hour's drive to Chattanooga. We did not need to contact the host at all; everything was perfect and instructions were clear. We would love to return and spend more time here!
