Perfect Lake House on Watts Bar-Views+Boatramp+Fixed/FloatingDocks+Firepit+Toys

Perfect Lake House on Watts Bar
Big water + mountain views make the perfect Tennessee Lake Home on Watts Bar for your perfect vacation destination with an 8-feet deep water boat slip on the fixed dock and a floating dock for the winter! Located in a quiet, peaceful area on Watts Barr Lake near Spring City on the Tennessee River, where you'll find fabulous fishing and water toys including Kayaks and Paddleboards and bird watching including Eagles and Osprey and amazing views from the Great Room, Kitchen and Master Bedroom in a home that still feels brand new! And bring your friendly family dog along.

Just a few steps out the back door and you're at the covered boat dock with electricity for water activities. Work or go to school remotely? You're in luck with high-speed cable internet WiFi at this home! The private dock with boat slips provides exceptional access to fishing and other water sports seasonally. Access to power at the dock means you can recharge your boat batteries so you're ready for fishing each day!

Sleeping Arrangements:
• Master Bedroom 1 = King Bed + En Suite Bathroom + TV + Walk-in Closet + Dresser + Fan
• Guest Bedroom 2 = King Bed + Shared Family Bathroom + TV + Dresser + Fan
• Guest Bedroom 3 = Queen Bed + Shared Family Bathroom + TV + Dresser + Fan
• Guest Bedroom 4 = Queen Bed + Shared Family Bathroom
• Game Room 5 = Queen Sleeper Sofa + TV + Closet

Private boat ramp/launch or arrive by boat! Complementary use of the 4 Kayaks + 4 Standup Paddle Boards are provided year-round for our guests as well. Paddle 1/3 mile northwest to Doc Smith Island or 1/4 mile further west to Sandbar Island with fun sandbars to hang out on. See our own S.S. Minnow shipwreck just like on Gilligan's Island also known as the "River Queen". Hurry there before the TVA has it taken away... Then check out the open air river house further to the west along with the lake basketball hoop!

There is plenty of parking in the driveway for 3 vehicles with boat trailers with additional parking in the garage bay.

While lake levels vary October to April affecting use of the dock seasonally, the boat launches and lake use are available year around. Download TVA’s app for information on lake levels and other helpful information.

A deck for sunning, snacking or watching the kids play overlooks the boat docks and umbrellas for your comfort. The deck view looks out from the Master Bedroom overlook the water and dock, or enjoy the generous front porch or back patio.

The kitchen is convenient and fully equipped, and the great room design ensures even the chef is included in the conversation and fun. Table with seating for 8 along with 2 bar stools at the breakfast bar. Comfortable, new seating in the great room for watching the Smart TV apps or live channels includes sectional sofas. This home feels expansive and comfortable with vaulted ceilings and wonderful natural light and unbelievable water + mountain views.

Master bedroom has a King sized bed and en suite bathroom and one Guest bedroom has a King bed and the other 2 Guest bedrooms have Queen beds + Game Room has a Sleeper Sofa. Bedrooms have generously sized closets for plenty of storage.

A large lawn area out back gives plenty of space with a beautiful campfire pit and for yard activities including cornhole and badminton/volleyball next to the lake. The spacious back deck is a great place for relaxing and/or BBQ on the gas grill. Enjoy your hot cocoa, s'mores or a glass of wine with friends and family around the outdoor fireplace near the water’s edge when fall brings those cool evenings.

Spring City is only 8 miles away, I-75 Sweetwater 25 minutes, I-40 Rockwood 30 minutes, and Kingston, Loudon, Athens, Dayton, Decatur, Cleveland are near by with restaurants, shopping, groceries and fuel, and Chattanooga and Knoxville are a little over one hour's drive for attractions, concerts, historical locations, live music, etc. with Nashville music only 2 1/2 hours away.

Even if you aren't a "bird-watcher" the Osprey and Bald Eagles will amaze you during the day and the river otter will charm you at dusk. You'll love the beautiful sunsets over the water at the end of each day. This quiet neighborhood provides a peaceful environment for catching up on your sleep. Close your eyes, relax! You're on vacation already!!

Review of Perfect Lakeside Mountain Retreat
Our stay at this incredible lake house was everything we hoped for and more! The views of the lake and mountains were simply breathtaking, creating a peaceful and serene atmosphere. It’s the perfect place to escape and relax. One of our favorite features was the wonderful dock. We spent hours swimming off it and just lounging by the water, soaking in the sun and enjoying the tranquility. Whether you're looking for an active day on the lake or just want to float and relax, the dock was a perfect spot. In the evenings, we gathered around the fire pit for s’mores and storytelling. It was the ideal way to end each day, with the crackling fire and star-filled sky creating the perfect cozy vibe. The house itself was spotless and very comfortable for our family. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking meals, and the living spaces were warm and inviting. The beds were super comfortable, and we all slept peacefully, surrounded by the quiet of the area. We also loved the abundance of wildlife! We spotted deer at night and enjoyed watching geese and even ospreys during the day. The location felt like a true nature retreat. Overall, this lake house had everything we needed for a perfect family getaway. From the dock to the fire pit, it’s a dream spot for relaxation and making lasting memories. We can't wait to return!

Great for Family and Friends!
Our family and friends loved the “Perfect Lake House on Watts Bar!” Beautiful views, the kids loved the dock, and we trailered two boats and the dock was plenty big for both boats. The inside of the house, again delivered beautiful views, it was very spacious and allowed for all of us to hang out together and not be on top of each other, the house was very clean and had everything we needed, and the play room, trampoline, and basketball hoop was a bonus for the kids as well! Will definitely stay here again!

The PERFECT Lake House is CORRECT
Our experience at this property was AMAZING! The hosts have thought of everything to make this house completely “Renter Friendly”. The house was well stocked in the kitchen, bathrooms, and even the game room! There were TONS of outdoor equipment for both kids and adults! The house was VERY clean and comfortable. The view was breathtaking. There was plenty of space in the house and with our party of 8, we never felt crowded. We had our 2 dogs with us and the large fenced in back yard gave them so much space to run around. The host, Rex, was very nice and responded immediately to our needs. We will definitely rent this house for vacation again!

We enjoyed our stay. The house was lovely. Great Lake views and the house amenities were outstanding. Stand up paddle boards, kayaks, blow up floats, fire pit, deck, screened in porch and grill. The host communicated often and provided a lot of information about the area and the house. Highly recommend this house for a relaxing time on Lake Norris.

Beautiful property and views of lake
We had a wonderful time at this property for the two nights we stayed! The home inside was clean, comfortable and well stocked with utensils and such for cooking, eating, drinking, and washing up. The master bed was very comfortable and the blinds kept the room dark for sleeping in in the morning. The yard was well manicured and we were happy to have been able to utilize the kayak and paddle boards out on the lake. (The kayak was missing the plug though and also has a hole in it...my husband was taking on water, so he switched to the other paddle board.LOL ...luckily he wasn't too far out in the lake when he realized it!) The only downfall to our stay was how everything out side was covered in spiderwebs and spiders. There was literally not one chair or table that we could comfortably sit on outside to enjoy some time out there. The blue adriondak chairs were the easiest to clean off, so we wiped those down and used those on the patio and hauled them down to the dock, but everything else was covered in spiders and webs. It unfortunately made being outside a bit less appealing, and that was a bummer. The views of the lake from this property are AMAZING and the walk to the dock and water is easy as the property sits on level ground with just a small slope to the water...no stairs to get to the water at all!! It was GREAT!! I would definitely stay here again...I would just hope that the outside furniture, home and dock would be a bit more spiderweb free!!
