We rented the Chickamauga river house, the house next door and a small cabin nearby. We also had one couple that slept in a camper at the CottonPort marina. About 26 all together - never more than 14 overnight in this house.
The views from the house are beautiful, the dock is large, the boathouse accommodates the boat we rented from the house owner. There are a LOT of steps to get from the house to the dock, but they seemed well built and stable.
The house is large with some interesting architectural choices. There are only three bathrooms - but we knew that going in. The furniture and decor is very nice. DIRECTV is available - but no WiFi. Cell service is adequate - we were usually able to complete FaceTime calls and Zoom meetings.
Ice is always an issue in a large rental; unfortunately the ice machine at the bar area was not working (labeled OTS). The nearest commercial ice is less than two miles away at the marina. Zach at the marina is a good person to get to know.
The kitchen was equipped about average for a rental house - which is to say - not great. We always bring our own knives. One area that needs improvement is the flatware. In a house that is advertised as “sleeps 18”, there were only 11 forks and fewer than 18 spoons. Plates and bowls were also sparse. We bought some paper plates, bowls and some plastic flatware and all was good.
Two of the eyes on the six burner cooktop were labeled as inop. We found that they worked just fine - the auto ignition was inop, just use a manual lighter and all good.
The large dumpster out front is not attractive, but it is super functional. Trash handling at many rental houses is a problem - here it was quick and easy.
We did not have any problems that required calling the property manager, so I can’t comment on response time.
Other folks in our group may have a different take - but I would say that we had a very good experience here - just be sure to seriously think about “just three bathrooms in a 7 bedroom house “.
