Updated Cabin - Hiwassee Highlife
Summary:
Welcome to our beautiful waterfront Hiwassee River property! This spacious 4-bedroom, 3-bath home offers direct water access with a dock and cabana. The open floor plan provides easy flow to the screened-in porch overlooking the river, perfect for relaxing. With plenty of room inside and out, it's ideal for creating memories with family and friends. We look forward to hosting you!
The Space:
NOTE: Our dock is not currently accessible by boat or land. Guests are more than welcome to use the boat ramp (about a mile away) to put in and take out at the end of the day but will not be able to pull up to the dock at this time. Sitting right on the beautiful Hiwassee River, the lovely scenery is the first thing to take. With views of the river, rolling hills, and mature trees surrounding our home, it is TN nature at its finest. Our multi-level home offers multiple southern-style porches, allowing guests to spend ample time outside. The main level offers an open concept living. Enjoy relaxing in the cozy living room with a love seat, sofa, and flat-screen TV complete with Roku. The eat-in kitchen offers doors leading directly to the beautiful screened-in porch. It is sure to be a favorite spot during your stay! The lower level of the home has a cozy den, a full bathroom, and bedroom #1 with two full beds. The main level of the house also contains a full bathroom and bedroom #2 with a queen-size bed. There is a steeper set of stairs (this could be challenging for elderly folks or anyone with mobility issues) leading to the upper level, which has a jack n jill bathroom shared between bedroom #3 with a king-size bed and bedroom #4 with two twins over full bunk beds. Complete with its dock and cabana down at the river, our home will surely have you living the Hiwassee Highlife! We love our dock, but it does require going up and down a large flight of stairs to gain access. Please make sure you are comfortable with stairs if you would like to use the dock! A boat ramp is one mile away, perfect for larger boats. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions! We look forward to hosting you!
***Our home has satellite internet, and it can be spotty.*** ***
***Please note: our home is on a slough. There is little to no water for dock use from mid-October to May. Water levels begin rising in April and decreasing in October.***
***The hot tub is not operational at this time***
***The dock is closed for repairs***

Other Things to Note:
We require a signed rental agreement, and for guests to be 21 years of age to book.
If you notify us of your intent to cancel prior to the lapse of the free cancellation period, we will return 97% of your payment. The other 3% will already have been collected by the credit card processing company, and we have no way to return that portion of the payment.
We kindly ask guests to treat all towels and linens with care. If any items are stained or damaged beyond repair, a replacement fee will be charged to cover the cost of new linens. This helps us maintain a high standard of cleanliness and comfort for all future guests. Thank you for your understanding!
We are a pet-friendly home. Pets must be crated when they are left unattended in the home. We do not allow pets on furniture or beds, and all waste must be cleaned up from the yard. All pets require a non-refundable pet fee. If there is evidence of pet hair on the furniture, excess hair in the home, stains, or waste found in the yard or home, you will be charged the cost to clean this. In the event that a security deposit is collected, we will retain all or part of the security deposit to cover any costs associated with additional cleaning due to pets.
Interaction with Guests:
We want to provide our guests with maximum privacy and flexibility, so we have check-in and check-out automated. We will call and touch base on the phone, and we can always have someone come and help if you need it, but otherwise, we will leave you and your friends and family to spend time together.

The house itself was well maintained but the yard, dock, and porches were a different story! The hrass and weeds were so over grown. The porches were COVERED in spider webs and eggs sacs and spiders galore. Before being able to enjoy the dining table on the upstairs porch we had to kill all the spiders and knock down more spider webs than I’d ever like to remember. The sock was over grown with briars and was very unsafe. There were broken boards everywhere. There was also no football table as advertised. Over all we enjoyed our stay but he listing should be updated and the grounds need to be cleaned!! Thank you
Extremely DisappointedI’ve stayed in many vacation rentals, and this was by far the worst experience. The house was disgustingly dirty from the moment we walked in. The main bedroom smelled strongly of fish, and dust was literally hanging off every ceiling fan. The furniture was so dusty you could write your name in it.The bathtub on the main level had a strange white substance in it, and the shower curtain had black stuff all over it. Even the blind in the bathroom was broken. The element light on the stove stayed on constantly, which felt unsafe. Several shelves in the refrigerator were broken, and downstairs there was something on the bedding.The floors were nasty, and all the return vents were completely black. It was obvious this property has not been properly cleaned or maintained in a long time.I would not recommend staying here until the owner does a full deep clean and addresses the maintenance issues. I did reach out to the seller regarding all these issues and even sent pics.
