We stayed as a family of 7 adults and 4 kids. The loft was perfect for the kids to hang out and sleep. The basement stayed extra nice and cool during the hottest days. The kitchen was well equipped and we made all of our meals there. We took advantage of the game room and played darts, pool, and ping pong. There were plenty of towels and blankets. We made the trek down the steps and steep paved drive down to the dock several times. We even found a blackberry patch on our way down after the steps. We had a lot of fun on the kayaks and fishing. We brought our own inner tubes/floaties and had a blast. The views were breathtaking and we watched the sunset every night. We did encounter a bobcat one of our first evenings, but never saw it again. The winding roads were not too pleasant for my motion sick family members. It was 20 minutes to the closest grocery store (food city) in Dandridge. Definitely check out the ice cream shop at the Indian Creek Deli and Market. We made lots of memories and so glad we stayed here.
