Minnow shipwreck just like on Gilligan's Island also known as the "River Queen". Hurry there before the TVA has it taken away... Then check out the open air river house further to the west along with the lake basketball hoop!

There is plenty of parking in the driveway for 3 vehicles with boat trailers with additional parking in the garage bay.

While lake levels vary October to April affecting use of the dock seasonally, the boat launches and lake use are available year around. Download TVA’s app for information on lake levels and other helpful information.

A deck for sunning, snacking or watching the kids play overlooks the boat docks and umbrellas for your comfort. The deck view looks out from the Master Bedroom overlook the water and dock, or enjoy the generous front porch or back patio.

A large lawn area out back gives plenty of space with a beautiful campfire pit and for yard activities including cornhole and badminton/volleyball next to the lake. The spacious back deck is a great place for relaxing and/or BBQ on the gas grill. Enjoy your hot cocoa, s'mores or a glass of wine with friends and family around the outdoor fireplace near the water’s edge when fall brings those cool evenings.

Spring City is only 8 miles away, I-75 Sweetwater 25 minutes, I-40 Rockwood 30 minutes, and Kingston, Loudon, Athens, Dayton, Decatur, Cleveland are near by with restaurants, shopping, groceries and fuel, and Chattanooga and Knoxville are a little over one hour's drive for attractions, concerts, historical locations, live music, etc. with Nashville music only 2 1/2 hours away.

Even if you aren't a "bird-watcher" the Osprey and Bald Eagles will amaze you during the day and the river otter will charm you at dusk. You'll love the beautiful sunsets over the water at the end of each day. This quiet neighborhood provides a peaceful environment for catching up on your sleep. Close your eyes, relax! You're on vacation already!!

Great for Family and Friends!

Our family and friends loved the “Perfect Lake House on Watts Bar!” Beautiful views, the kids loved the dock, and we trailered two boats and the dock was plenty big for both boats. The inside of the house, again delivered beautiful views, it was very spacious and allowed for all of us to hang out together and not be on top of each other, the house was very clean and had everything we needed, and the play room, trampoline, and basketball hoop was a bonus for the kids as well! Will definitely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Rex Geissler

Host profile image
Growing up in Carthage, Illinois along the Mississippi River, my parents would take us fishing on the River, Eagle watching, and drive us across the plains to Colorado almost every year to enjoy the mountains and visit relatives. We love the water and are blessed to have vacation rental homes in Florida on Anna Maria Island with the Gulf of Mexico, creeks + mountain tops in Colorado, Chattanooga and Watts Barr Lake and Lake Chickamauga on the Tennessee River.

Why they chose this property

Unbelievable Lake and Mountain views with easy access from a newer home + bird watching to the Covered Fixed Boat Dock + Floating Boat Dock on the Watts Barr Lake of Tennessee River is incredible!
