Gorgeous views
We stayed here for a long weekend to attend a family wedding at Howe Farms. Upon check in, we found an amazing welcome basket that both the adults and kids enthusiastically enjoyed! We actually had really nice weather for March and the older teens were able to take the 2 kayaks out and paddled across the river and back! There are a lot of steps down to the dock and river, but it was fun to enjoy the deck and all its space. The sunsets were beautiful along the river.

Great location on the lake! I was really too cold to enjoy the outdoor amenities. We will plan to go back in the summer. The house was a little dated, some of the fixtures needed repair. I really appreciated the Christmas decorations.

Beautiful lodging for family who came to daughter's wedding
Gorgeous view of the Tennessee river from the spacious porches and decks. It was a clean and well-supplied home that met our needs very well. The spaces were comfortable and tastefully decorated. We appreciated that it was uncluttered and had modern appliances. It was a bit of a drive over some narrow roads to go for groceries but the view and peacefulness made it worth it.

Fishing vacation
It was exactly as listed on VRBO. 8 adults stayed comfortably, lots of memories made. We had 4 boats and had plenty of room to park and plug in, short distance to ramp. Beautiful sunsets! Screen doors/ porch screens in need of repair, so we were unable to open doors or use screened in porch as designed due to mosquitoes and spiders.

Wedding weekend stay
I chose this Airbnb for my sister, the bride, and her bridesmaids to stay. The venue was at Howe’s farms, about a 25 minute drive. It was perfect and being on the water was so nice! Definitely would recommend staying here to anyone looking for a weekend getaway by the water.

Better then expected!
I marked the accuracy of the online description low just because it was better than expected. The house was pretty clean but really nice. It was an older home/cabin but well taken care of for its age. They hosts left a really nice gift basket which was a great touch and so appreciate. It was filled with local Tennessee items for us to enjoy. The decks, dock and lake views were incredible. There was nice lighting on all the decks and steps leading down to the lake. The dock unexpectedly had a boat lift and two jet ski lifts to keep your water crafts safe. The top deck had been replaced with trex decking and they had a half dozen very nice Adirondack chairs on the boat dock that had a deck on top. There was also nice lounge chairs at the house deck and middle deck for several nice places for an outdoor supper or comfortable place to sit and take in the natural beauty. We were very impressed with this rental and may rent it for a week next summer.

Wonderful lake front property
The pictures don't do this beautiful home justice! Everything was very clean and had everything we needed! Communication was very easy with the owners. The neighborhood is wonderful, the sunsets from the deck are amazing. I loved kayaking on the lake/river, it was nice calm water. There are tons of stairs to the dock so if you have mobility issues this may not be ideal, but we loved it! The welcome basket was such a nice touch as well! Check out the Laurel-Snow natural area near there, the Laurel waterfall was beautiful!
