About this property
Historic year-round cabin along lakeshore w/dock
About this space
The lake home was built in the early 1930's to house the engineers constructing the entire TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority) system that created dams and hydro-electric power throughout the region. It also provided jobs that helped with employment during the Great Depression. A wonderful addition we made recently was a dock, which remains in the water from sometime in March until late October.
Please note this is an old, quaint home. It has its quirks.
The space:
This is an old, quaint, home. The lake home itself remains mainly as it was back then, complete with wormy-chestnut walls and ceilings. But now there are beds for FIVE people, not the 12 engineers that lived here back then - ha ha!
One thing that has just been upgraded is the water. Until recently we were on (very good) well water, but now we've hooked onto the County water system - which is of excellent quality. However, we continue to operate on a septic field, so we ask all our guests to be especially gentle with the plumbing - and not put anything down the drains that doesn't belong.
And we've also just added a few new amenities: a propane-gas grill on the porch, a small dog enclosure in the back yard (so we're happy to say that we're now welcoming dogs to our property - but, sorry, no cats) and a dock.
Guest access:
You'll have full access to the entire place during your stay, with driveway parking that can accommodate several cars.
Other things to note-
The TVA controls the height of the lake (to provide electric power year-round and recreational activities in the summer), but sometimes heavy rains cause it to rise somewhat. While it will never impact the lake home, there's a portion of the lower-lake road that sometimes goes under water, making the "loop" for walking or jogging more of a "turnaround."
*NO PARTIES/EVENTS AND NO LOUD LARGE GROUP GATHERINGS EVER.
*QUIET HOURS are 10pm to 8am

About the host
Hosted by Oksana Kutepov

Hi. I'm Oksana! I've been in the states for most of my life. My family immigrated here in search of the American Dream back in 1996. I have a big family and since everyone lives in different states, we love getting together to celebrate the big moments in life. I have been managing properties since the end of 2023 and it's been absolutely, by far, my favorite job that I've ever had. I love hearing from guests about how much they enjoyed our properties, whether it was time spent with family or staying for a fishing competition. It always makes me happy!
