Fall break for our son going to UT. We just wanted to get away and this was the place. We enjoyed the lake and home. Outdoor dinning in the area and boat rental for a day was easy and fair priced. Would visit again.

Poor House. Do not Stay Here
Can't drive into driveway because driveway slope is too steep. Was told in check-in letter not to park in Driveway. Went into the house and the house smelt like mold. Ants were in downstairs bedroom and bathroom. The deck outside was covered in mildew. Kayaks were not taken care of and dirty. There were leaks in ceiling. Outside is not accessible for elderly or people with disabilities. Outside landscaping is horrible and shows that it is not being taken care of. Rail off deck to go into backyard is loose and I almost fell over because of it. The inside ceiling had leaks. I took pictures of all the issues. Contacted Jeff who owns the house and he refused to give a refund. We were only there for an hour. Refused to stay there due to the condition of the house. See the other bad reviews as they are all true.

Great location and home
We really loved the house and location. I would suggest to the property owners that they either speak with the concierge or they themselves check supplies. Several lights were out, we ran out of paper towels, trash bags, and toilet paper. We had to go buy our own dish soap, laundry soap, dishwasher pods and hand soap. I realize that we have to provide some things but that seemed like a lot to have to provide ourselves. The only other issue I would advise be looked into, was that the half bath had a strong sulfer-like odor and the ceiling had lots of cobwebs. However, the home itself was spectacular and fit our stay/needs for our family get-together.

Home in need of repairs
We stayed at this property over Christmas with our family (5 adults). This home was spacious, and we loved the screened-in porch! It's a quiet and peaceful place to stay. However, we were disappointed by the lack of amenities provided. When we arrived there was almost no soap, almost no dishwashing supplies, no laundry detergent, and minimal bathroom supplies. We had to buy additional hand soap, dishwasher pods, shampoo, body wash, paper towels, kleenex, and laundry supplies--not because we used a lot but because almost none of these supplies were provided to begin with. Since most of us flew in from out of state to visit our daughter, the lack of basic amenities was frustrating--as we had traveled with limited supplies. We had to purchase these supplies on our own, which was extra money and time spent that we hadn't planned for. Additionally, the house had a lot of bugs--we regularly found bugs on the curtains along the windows and on the bedding the first night. The house was not necessarily dirty, but there were many bugs and cobwebs throughout. Further, many aspects of the house were broken--broken sinks, broken kitchen trash can, broken screen door downstairs, ice maker issue, very hard and squeaky king size beds, no furnace filter, another one that wasn't even the right size, shower doors leaked in downstairs bathroom due to missing caulking, mold around tub and shower in upstairs bathroom, and several leaky faucets. This home is in need of several repairs.

This property was perfect for my family and my brother family. Lots of room to be comfortable. The floors are not sound proof so any movement upstairs could be heard downstairs. King room down stairs is directly under the upstairs master suite. The driveway is incredibly steep.

Great house, but update me a little !
Great house, steep yard and driveway. Nice manager, friendly neighbors. They need some updates on bedding. Kitchen very well stocked with dishes, glassware, etc. They need a handyman for a day to fix small items and update. Master tub, screened porch, dripping facets, ice maker won’t shut off, and sink in half bath is loose. However felt like good value and were very new ce and easy to work with!

Beautiful Views!
The property was on the end, so it gave a little more privacy than some other locations, which was nice. The neighbors were very friendly and the view spectacular. One of the best stocked kitchens for a rental that I have seen. If you have more than 2 cars for overnight parking, the parking situation will be a little tricky. Two of our daughters and their spouses spent one night, and we were abel to put our truck in the garage, pull one behind the garage, and back one down. There will not be room to turn to drive up if you do not back the 3rd car down, or you will have to back up the driveway, which is fairly steep. We still managed! There is some day-paking at the top of the driveway. Overall, a very nice place to stay!

Great place to stay!
I’ve been coming to Tellico Village for several years since my parents retired here. We have stayed in several local homes and condos over the years and have come to know the area quite well. This property hit the mark for us as the teen could be on her own downstairs while us parents were upstairs. Loved the kayaks for use to go visit other family members staying in another home just down the way along the lakeshore. Best of all, our dog was able to join us! The only negative was that the property is quite steep with little to no grass right outside the house making doggy bathroom breaks a bit more difficult (especially as our pup still gets us up in the middle of the night or early morning). Great neighborhood to walk him, though. Very friendly neighbors! Definitely bookmarking this place for future family reunions!

Driveway & terrain of property
The description of the lot which the beautiful house sit on is beautiful however there was no mention of the STEEP DRIVEWAY or the extremely steep yards. It was extremely hard to get down to the water because of the probably 45 degree slope down or up when you walk out of this home. We are in our 60’s but I’m sure younger people would fair much better. Walking two dogs up & down the slopes was a bit much. Probably would have picked a more level property had we known. Other than that, everything else was GREAT.

Great home, great location, not well kept!
Upon arrival to house, we encountered dirty walls, light switches. furniture, & windows. There were live stink bugs everywhere! The 2 sets of sliding glass doors had sooo many dead bugs laying in the track of doors. It was so gross! Ever single bed in home except one had looked like it had been slept in and then just made up. The sheets had dirt stains and did not smell fresh. The king bed had a live stink bug in it when I pulled the blanket down. The last thing I wanted to do at 8pm at night after traveling all day was clean all the bedding for 4 beds. Thank god for the washer/dryer & detergent that was available. Once bedding was washed and smelled clean, I knew for sure the existing sheets was not fresh. I emailed owner of property that evening explaining my extreme disappointment and dissatisfaction. I even attached a picture of a live stink bug crawling up the curtain next to me as I typed his email. He told me the house manager would reach out to me. I told him that there was nothing more for her to do since I literally cleaned the entire home with Lysol wipes & Lysol that I had bought, cleaned all the bedding and vacuumed. The house manager called me later the next day to say sorry and offer up nothing but telling me stink bugs and bugs are very common in Tennessee and there is nothing they can do about that. I mentioned to her that the pedestal sink in the main floor bathroom was loose and there was an awful smell coming from that bathroom that just wouldn’t go away and she said she was aware of it but offered no explanation. I then told her the kitchen and bathroom sink in the master bedroom were draining extremely slowly. she told me the plumber had been there and should have fixed it. Again, no solutions. I understand it was the week of thanksgiving and maybe no one wanted to be bothered with us, but my complaints and concerns were real and not taken seriously. There was no follow up to see if our stay had gotten any better, no offer of any type of discount, and not even a goodwill gesture to apologize for our poor experience. The house is beautiful with a ton of space for a large family. Just know there is a chance that the lake will be drained in November and that was the case for our experience. Lastly, be aware of the extremely steep driveway and lack of lighting at night out front. You should leave the porch lights on if you’re going out in the evening because you’ll be in big trouble if you don’t and come back after dark.

Wonderful Lake Vacation
Everything was as pictured. The house was designed for comfort over two floors. The balcony was perfect to sit outside in the evenings. The enclosed screen area was great for dining and cocktails after a day of kayaking and swimming. Jeff was always quick to respond to any communication we had. What made the vacation for my family, was having 2 adult kayaks, and two children kayaks for their use. Everyone enjoyed their time at the house..

We were very pleased with how well the house is stocked to live in while visiting family. The kitchen blew us away with all the glasses, dishes, cooking utensils you might need. Bedrooms have comfortable beds and the closets gave extra linens, towels & blankets. We enjoyed all the lake toys-especially the kayaks. The driveway is steep but we didn’t have any problems with it.
