Updated and clean

Beautiful home updated with all the amenities. Owners have ensured you have everything you need to enjoy your stay there. Coffee bar, games, fully stocked kitchen. Everything was perfect. Curvy roads to get there but it’s worth it. Pretty far away from town so plan 30 minutes to get to a grocery store. I’m pretty picky and this house was perfect..

Mountain/Lake Retreat!

House was as described, clean and updated! The homeowner is very thoughtful with the amenities and conveniences in the home. We rented to attend a wedding and wish we would have extended our stay to enjoy the house and the lake with more time! One of our top VRBO stays!!

Beautiful home and view!!!

This home had everything we needed. The owners thought of everything. I loved how everything was labeled. That really helped alot! The bed was really comfy and the shower was great! The view from the deck was amazing. The careful treking up and down the steps to the dock. It can be done safely, but take your time. It is very steep. There is nothing that can be done to help that. The dock looked new and I was able to fish off of easily. It takes a while to get to the location from the highway, but it is worth the drive. I wish we could have spent more time at the home itself. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Relaxing and peaceful getaway

This place was very well organized with labels everywhere to help you locate items. It was very clean, cutely decorated, and we LOVED the dock and view of the gorgeous lake. We came here for a family funeral and this was the perfect retreat for us to seek some peace and enjoy good family time. Highly recommend!

Clean and recently remodeled home on the lake

The house was fantastic, we would certainly stay there again. We took our boat and were pleasantly surprised how wide the river was and that you can get to Tellico lk and the other lake to the west pretty easily. Definitely plan ahead on the launch, Theres a small one nearby but it quite shallow. Wonderful home, it’s as it appears in pictures.

Clean, welcoming home

We came in town for a wedding at Castleton Farms. Unfortunately the venue ended up being 45 minutes away, but we didn’t mind because the house was so lovely. We brought a paddle board and had fun on the lake. Oh, and if you get the chance, and want to order in, Spice Hut on Uber Eats was incredible, we got it twice! Also, we loved how all the cabinets and drawers were labeled. It made everything so much easier. There was a great table for playing board games and the view just can’t be beat. We loved our stay here.

Great Stay!

We loved the house and enjoyed our stay! We were in town for a wedding and were able to stay at this lovely home. The host is very attentive and will reply to any questions or request promptly. The river and dock is a great amenity but be advised, it is a little steep to get down and up. Plenty of toiletries and towels, and the home was beautifully decorated.

Great property!

The house itself was cozy and clean. It worked perfect for our party of five. The view of the water was beautiful. As for getting to the house, there are a many winding back roads and it's about a half hour to the nearest grocery store. Totally worth it, but something to keep in mind!

Quiet Getaway

We enjoyed our stay here by the lake. It is quite peaceful with a beautiful view. The house is very clean and I was quite pleasantly surprised by the number of pans and other kitchen items available for use. We would stay here again if we are visiting the area.

AMAZING!

To say this house is perfect is an understatement... The host has perfectly decorated it and its a relaxation spot and a dream come true. the Host has decorated the house in the most tasteful way. She gets back to you with great timing with any questions you have. There are a perfect amonut of amenitites in the house to get you started on a long trip, or to hold you over on a short one. there are so many nice touches in this place my husband and i truly did not want to leave. What i throughly found useful was everything is labeled so there was no fumbling around to find where anything is and for what switch works what. If i am ever back in this area i will surely be staying in this place again! Thank you for such a beautiful house and relaxing stay!

I only have positive things to say about this beautiful location!!! We came up here for my son’s college visit and decided to stay the night in this beautiful lake front location. I will 100% book again at this location. We love the morning sunrises and the night quiet sounds. If you are in this area you HAVE to rent out this location.

Fantastic Fall Retreat

The place was absolutely amazing. It was incredibly clean and the kitchen was the most well stocked of any rental I've ever stayed in. We had 5 total in our party, and it was incredibly comfortable. It's a little far from civilization, but staying on the water (and the views this time of year) made it well worth it.

Beautiful vacation home

We loved the stay at Killian's View. The trail to the lake was a little more than we had anticipated, and was a struggle for my parents in their 60s. I would imagine it could be tricky for little ones as well. However, this is the only con I can say about this beautiful home and property. We really enjoyed our stay.

Perfect base for family reunion

My family and I used this house as a base for our family reunion that was being held in Kingston. It is pretty far away from town and any shopping, but the view and space was worth it. Very clean, very comfortable.

About the host

Hosted by Melanie D Cahill

Host profile image
My husband and I are semi retired. We love traveling and seeing our grandchildren. Over the years we have enjoyed staying in various properties traveling both abroad and in the US. We had always dreamed of having a property on the water so in 2020 our journey with Killian's View began. After a 9 month renovation, we opened for short term rental. We love accommodating people from all over the world in our peaceful corner of Tennessee.

Why they chose this property

We were drawn to this property for its incredible view. It sits above Watts Bar Lake on the main channel. While we do experience various water levels throughout the year it never obstructs our beautiful view. The home needed a complete remodel which we did mostly ourselves. We put in many of the touches and attention to details that we appreciated in other properties we visited. Our home is perfect for a couples getaway, personal retreats, a home base or spending time with your family and friends. Our huge deck has a picnic table, comfy furniture and a propane grill or cook in our fully stocked kitchen with beautiful views. When the water levels are high, generally March through November, you can fish, swim or boat off our lovely dock.

What makes this property unique

At Killian's View you will enjoy being close to nature. There are many deer on our peninsula and if you are lucky you may see one of the eagles flying around close to the deck. Yet, we are less than an hour away from many attractions dining and shopping.
