Holiday rentals with a kayak in Great Smoky Mountains

The Host is great and very responsive and helpful. This is the 2nd time we have stayed at her property and would highly recommend it to have a family vacation here. The view is beautiful as well.

We absolutely loved our stay and were so sad to leave. 4 families came for a softball tournament with 7 children total. The house was perfect! 4 bedrooms with a door and a play room with 4 bunk beds! The lake was beautiful, clean, peaceful and easily accessible. Plenty of toys to play in the cove on. I don’t love swimming in a lake but this one was so clean and enticing I couldn’t resist! We will definitely be back!

Awesome spot right on the water with a private deck and wonderful views. The house was more than accommodating. We cooked all of our meals in the ample kitchen, slept well in comfy beds, and each had our own bathrooms. The screened in porch was the best part. There were also lots of boats, floats, chairs, etc. for the lake... a definite bonus. Will definitely keep this on our list of Santeetlah houses to return to.

This was our family's second stay at Blue Heron Haven and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The house is well-stocked, clean, comfortable, and the location is perfect. It's a great location for swimming on the lake. Becky answered all of our questions and is always helpful and responsive.

This is the kind of place AirBnb was made for. Such a homey space with unique style and personal touches. We enjoyed disconnecting and relaxing inside and out during our stay. The place was well kepted and well equipped for a laid-back long weekend. It was clearing kept clean and tidy but it did have a strong musty smell when we arrived. It mostly aired out after a day with the windows open, but I have to warn others as I know it can be a big issue for some. However, my husband, pups, and I wouldn't pass up the chance to stay again when we want to visit Lake Fontana.

Loved the place and it was fairly easy to find. I had no issues the entire time. It was exactly where I needed to be and it was nice that the checkin was flexible because we didn't hit as much traffic as we thought we would on the way up there and got in a few hours early.

The house was nice and roomy. driveway was a little tricky. view of mountains and golf course was amazing. we had a storm on Saturday night and GODS light show was beyond incredible across the mountains viewing from the deck. Mark was a great host I would recommend the place 10 out of 10.

LOVED the stunning view off the back deck, very clean, private, quiet, comfy bed, everything was exceptional and in good working order. Windy one lane road up a steep hillside, but we found it with good directions from host. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you for a very pleasant stay!

This place is a great location , stocked well and can walk to everything in town . Communicate great . We were in town for a wedding at Village on Green -so easy to get to everything.

We spent Easter weekend here. As we drove in the wild azaleas and dogwoods were blooming, and everything afterwards was just as beautiful and peaceful. My teenagers loved kayaking and my daughter liked the pond so well she slept on the daybed on the porch. I appreciated the feather pillows and reverse osmosis water. Attention has been paid to every detail. I called my Nana to show her the antique desks. My small children enjoyed the toys and my middle son using the pully bucket on the porch. My daughter celebrated a birthday over our stay, more movie guests showed up than expected and I just couldn't turn these kids away. Our hosts were so kind. They of course charged a little extra as was clearly understood via the contract, they were very understanding and polite. The lock to the boat seems to be jamed, the downstairs fireplace is currently non operational, and I'm not sure I'll get back a thumb drive I forgot, but this family has worked hard to create really special place. Five star

This is my second time at Calvin's place. I loved it just as much as the first! Always clean, always comfortable, and always with thoughtful touches and clear communication. Thank you for having us again!

This cozy, beautiful spot is a treasure! Kim was very attentive to details in creating a space that is welcoming and feels like home. The kitchen was well equipped, decor blends modern and mountain cottage. Plenty to entertain at the house or nearby. The description helped us know how to best plan our visit to the area and there were great tips and maps at the house too. Beautiful scenery and a great place to enjoy birds, fall foliage, hiking and much more. So thankful for a great getaway!

Really enjoyed our stay. Beds were super comfy. The house is spacious and the kitchen is one of the best stocked I've experienced in an Airbnb. Loved the screened in porch where I enjoyed my morning coffee by the fire table and watching the deer. Also enjoyed the fire ring near the end of the drive and a wonderful spacious piece of property. Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and the National Park are only about an hours drive. Most definitely would stay here again. It did not disappoint.

We had a quick stay for camp drop off. Very comfortable home and beds. Clear instructions for getting there and staying.

Wonderful spot, loved the cabin andthe kayaks and private doc.

Gorgeous all around. We all agreed it was one of the best Airbnbs we’ve stayed at. Views from the house and access to the water and the outdoor dining area were splendid.

The Lake house was one of the quietest and most peaceful air b-and-b's we have stayed at. The new back deck is the highlight of the lake cabin. The rest of the cabin is fully equipped and functional, but we hardly left the back deck. With its fenced in area and gate was perfect for the dog. The kayaks and dock are a nice addition. It is located close to good dining at Micas restaurant and Whiteside brewery. We came for the hiking in Panthertown area. We will be back again.

Our stay at Jeffrey’s Yourcation home was wonderful for our extended family weekend at Dollywood. Don’t hesitate to book this property. Large enough that we enjoyed our privacy with a kitchen that was the heart of the home. Well appointed with anything you need plus some. Pots and pans are stainless so don’t worry about scratched coatings. Kurig and trad coffee pot with enough coffee to get you started. Loads of seasonings too. The decks were superb, we had a 2yo and three dogs and felt comfortable with their safety as decks are accessible from inside only so no undue escapes. Jeffrey is a responsive host and available to answer any questions at a moments notice. A couple mattresses could use an update but all in all everyone slept well and loved the home. Our group ranged from 2 to 68 plus three dogs. A good time was had by all. Thanks Jeffrey.

5 Stars – The Perfect Mountain Getaway! This Airbnb was everything we hoped for and more! Nestled right on the water, the views were absolutely breathtaking—especially at sunrise and sunset. We spent most of our time outdoors because there were so many great spots to sit, relax, and soak it all in. Whether it was sipping coffee in the morning or winding down in the evening the space always felt peaceful and private. The location was ideal—just a short drive to the entrance of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, so we were able to sightsee during the day and come back to pure comfort in the evening. The house was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed to feel at home. The lakefront hot tub was the cherry on top 🤌🏽 If you’re looking for a serene escape with nature right at your doorstep and easy access to one of the most beautiful parks in the country, this is it. Thanks again, Shawn, for sharing your beautiful home. We’re already planning our next trip back

The mountain lake setting is spectacular! Window wall facing lake allows maximum enjoyment of the surroundings. All the comforts of home and then some provided. All facilities worked well and were very well maintained I highly recommend this place to get away from it all and enjoy some solitude in a truly gorgeous area.

“Great stay! Super clean, cozy, and the host was incredibly helpful. Would definitely come back!”

We all loved everything about the house and location. Secluded, on the top of a mountain, beautiful views, quiet and peaceful. The kids and adults loved the hot tub. Rooms were large and well furnished. The living room was big and comfortable and room for all of us to sit and visit. Fantastic!!!

great place. you do need a mountain ready vehicle to access, not rwd.

Beautiful nature, clean house, hot tub was already warm when we arrived, comfy beds, clean bathrooms, no complains
