Top Watts Bar Lake Hotel Reviews

Quiet comfortable mountain retreat, with Fast 500 mbps wifi

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great little cabin that my wife and I really enjoyed during our few nights in the area. The property is very private and quiet, so it was very peaceful when we were there in the evenings after a long day. The host is great and was very easy to communicate with through the vrbo app during our stay. Thanks, for being a great host, Joe!"

Lake Haven Cottage

10/10 Excellent

"We love Lake Haven!! My husband and I have been coming here for about 3years now and it just keeps getting better! Nice to see the improvements to the deck with new furniture as well. The most comfortable bed makes this place feel like our home away from home!"

Lakefront Retreat at Watts Bar - Private Dock - Hot Tub

8/10 Good

"The house didn't have as many beds as advertised. There were only 4 Beach Towels with 11 guests staying there. Didn't have sheets for the Pull-out Couch and didn't have enough pillowcases, blankets, or regular towels. When I am renting a house for 12 people I expect to have enough towels, sheets and pillowcases for everyone. Had trouble with the dishwasher and kitchen light, the dishwasher issue was resolved, however didn't have any kitchen light for the last 3 days of my stay."

Log Cabin/Cottage on Watts Bar Lake

10/10 Excellent

"The kids loved the large float pad. They were on it most of the day. It was also so nice having two kayaks there for us to use."

Fish Fry Cabin with Dock on Watts Bar Lake

10/10 Excellent

"Plenty of space in the bedrooms and living area in a quiet neighborhood. Home was clean and contactless checkout was clear and simple. Would definitely stay here again and recommend it!"

A Quiet Retreat on the Shore of Watts Bar Lake - Dog Friendly with Lake Access!

10/10 Excellent

"This was the perfect place to unwind. It was bright and airy but also cozy. The kitchen was well stocked with all the essentials. The sheets on the master bed were fantastic, so soft. The master shower...WOW!!!!We spent most of our time on the outside deck. Our girls (Freya & Siggie -GSD) loved running around in the fenced in area. They also LOVED the water. The house was very clean and a broom and vacuum were available for picking up pet hair- thank goodness.Would totally recommend and we can wait to go back."

Stunning Mountain VIEWS! Lakefront Luxury w Pool, Spa, Kayaks & Deep-Water Dock

8/10 Good

"The house and property was fantastic and the view stunning. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you will need. We love the pool in the hot tub. the Terrace view. Marine is close by. The only negative we would have is a suggestion to put doors on the master bedroom upstairs and a handrail going down the rock steps to the dock. Awesome vacation."

Gorgeous Lake Home, Private Boat Dock | Sleeps 11

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great time! The home was clean and had all the comforts of home! It was a pleasant surprise to have plenty of supplies, such as laundry detergent, dishwashing supplies, trash bags, etc. The location of the home was great! The views were amazing and being able to dock our boat at the boat house was a huge perk! Would definitely stay here again!!"
