Ideally located at the mouth of Eagle's Nest Cove on Watts Bar Lake, our family cabin features the best of both worlds between a main channel lake view and immediate accessibility to a quiet cove to experience everything Watts Bar Lake has to offer. A spacious open-concept layout looks out on to an enormous deck and fully fenced patio / back yard area. Unlike many Watts Bar Lake properties, the cabin features unparalleled access to local restaurants, shopping, and I-40 via a short 15 min. drive.
A FISHERMAN'S DREAM CABIN:
You will be staying less than ten minutes from both the Caney Creek boat ramp and the ramp at Tom Fuller Memorial Park where many fishing tournaments are held. If you need to plug your boat in at night, our driveway can easily hold three bass boats and have each of them within 25’ of an electrical outlet. Our cove is a popular place to fish, and you will be able to easily cast to many of the spots fishermen on boats hit just by standing on our shoreline!
Our cabin was completely remodeled in 2023. Everything is new, or refreshed to be as good as new. We've set up the space to be conducive to hosting two families, with one couple in the downstairs primary bedroom and the other upstairs in the secondary bedroom. Each bedroom offers privacy while the open loft comfortably sleeps four.
Each sleeping area and the living room has its own 60" Roku smart TV which guests can log in to any number of the streaming services they subscribe to. We also have a wide variety of board games to enjoy.
Walking out either of the two sliding glass doors overlooking Watts Bar Lake leads to a spacious deck with a bar top, benches, and Weber grill. The primary bedroom walks out to the large patio below. A secondary patio near the lake has plenty of seating and a large fire pit, perfect for roasting marshmallows while gazing at the stars.
The area is home to tons of wildlife. Eagles and osprey nest nearby, there is a very active fox den just north of the cabin, and deer are everywhere. The cul de sac that our driveway is on historically has been an incredibly popular spot for local nature photographers. Guests who are quiet and patient will likely see many of these creatures.
Guests traveling with infants or very young children are kindly requested to reach via VRBO messenger so we can be sure to have the cabin appropriately equipped for your stay based on your needs prior to your arrival.
Installed near the lower section of the driveway is a Grizzl-E Duo 220V 40A, 10kW level 2 charger that can charge two EVs at once via 24’ J1772 cables. If your vehicle does not have a J1772 connector you will need to bring an appropriate adapter. Charging is free.
GUEST ACCESS:
Guests will be able to access the entire property other than a single car garage / utility room which we use for storage. We enter this area via the garage door or a locked door in the en suite primary bedroom’s bathroom. This door will remained locked during your stay.
We may also need to periodically access the property for general groundskeeping purposes.
OTHER THINGS OF NOTE:
Watts Bar Lake is managed by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA). Guests must follow their rules and regulations when enjoying the lake. These can easily be found online and include common sense things like requiring a license to fish, wearing a life vest while kayaking, etc.
Between November 1st and May 1st the TVA lowers Watts Bar Lake approximately five feet. During this time the cabin still has amazing lake views, and roughly 5 to 10' of shoreline is exposed.
The bottom of Watts Bar Lake varies wildly between being muddy, rocky, and sandy. We strongly recommend wearing swim shoes or hiking sandals while swimming in shallow water.
The neighborhood our cabin is in is quiet and peaceful, we kindly ask our guests to maintain that serenity and be respectful to our neighbors who will be more than happy to return the favor.
Our cabin is regularly serviced by a pest control company, but please keep in mind that what attracts us to the water also attracts crawling and flying insects as well as opportunistic critters like raccoons and possums. Guests who are not diligent about keeping doors closed and trash contained should expect to encounter these things.
Due to the relatively remote nature of our cabin, power and internet outages are quite rare but can occur randomly- Particularly during or following storms. Service interruptions are typically brief, but please plan accordingly.
This is a non-smoking property! Smokers are asked to please smoke outdoors, far enough away from doors and windows to prevent any smoke smell from getting inside. Guests will be charged a $500 deep cleaning fee for smoking indoors.
