Refuge sur la colline : Cottage en bord de lac dans les Smoky Mountains
You're about to enjoy one of the best kept secrets of the South - the Lake in the Sky. A beautiful lake is hidden away on the border of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park right off the Foothills Parkway, on top of a Tennessee Mountain. This private cottage gets you on the water and offers your own private dock on a quiet lake (free of noisy motorized watercraft), tucked into a cozy cove. For the adventurer, you are walking distance to a trailhead to backcountry hiking on world class hiking trails of the GSMNP. After kayaking and fishing in the water or exploring the wilderness, you can grill out in your private backyard, reflect with wine on the dock, or tell stories by the fire pit.
The house can only accommodate up to two adults and two kids, with a queen bed, and two stackable twin beds, and a queen-size sleeper sofa. Full kitchen, 1.5 bathrooms, heat/AC, elevated screened porch for fantastic lake views over breakfast, and a beautiful bifold glass door downstairs that opens directly to the private lake. To help you enjoy the gas-motor free lake, there is a Jon boat with electric trolling motor, kayaks (one two seater with one additional kid seat that can be added, and two kid kayaks for a total of 3 kayaks). There are games, books, and 3 Smart TVs for those times you choose to stay inside in front of the fire.
The cottage sits on the Lake in the Sky and offers all of the modern conveniences needed to get away but stay connected.
We ask that guests respect the community-mandated quiet time after 10 PM to ensure that all can enjoy the peaceful setting.
A note about the shower. The shower is located under the stairs. The dimensions are as follows: 7ft at the very top where the shower head is and slopes down to 5 ft in the middle where you would stand and the lowest point is 41 inches where the faucet is on the opposite side of the shower head. So for tall people it may not be ideal.

It is a nice place for two to get away. It is not fancy but it is peaceful and has everything you need.There were a couple of surprises that most won't notice in the pictures. The lake is about a foot deep at the dock and not a bottom that you would walk on. The shower is difficult to manage because it is under the stairs with the shower head and controls at opposite ends. It takes a long time for changes to make it to the shower head resulting in scalding to freezing changes on first attempts. Best to run the tub until the temp stabilizes and then divert to the shower and wait again for it to reach the head.

We loved our stay at your cabin. Went fishing almost every day and caught many different types of fish!! The geese on the lake are wonderful and very funny. The cabin is well equipped and the fireplaces on both levels made our evenings quite cozy :) Thanks for sharing your home.

Time Away At the Lake
We found this little gem to be a good place for just some quiet time away. Sitting on the dock and watching the lake provided some much needed time of relaxation. We felt the decor inside had been lovingly attended to and did not need anything else other than what was provided.

Relaxing
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this simple but very nicely decorated cabin. A beautiful screen porch to sit on and enjoy the view of the lake. Started each day fishing and just enjoying the lake. Plenty of sightseeing in the area. We trailered our motorcycle and would go out each day on the Foothills Parkway in to Townsend. Overall, we had a great vacation!

Perfect weekend getaway
This cottage was so wonderful to celebrate mine and my husbands 7th wedding anniversary. Trieu was incredibly responsive and helpful. We spent all our time on the dock fishing and even got the John boat out one morning. The shower is tricky but manageable. Thank you for sharing this little bit of paradise!

Quiet Getaway
Beautiful sunrises from the screened porch and the Adirondack chairs on the dock. Peaceful neighborhood... you can see them, but everyone is respectful of the quiet. We loved the kayak and john boat; appreciated the lifejackets and fishing equipment provided. Indoors, you have a well stocked kitchen, comfortable furnishings and plenty of linens. The shower is tricky, but I would stay again. Thanks for sharing you little cabin at the Top of the World.

Wonderful
Absolutely the most relaxing vacation ever. The lake was beautiful, the house was clean and exactly as described. The tail of the dragon trip is right down the road. We did hiking trails in the seven island state park which were a must see. We saw a black bear in the GSMNP. The frogs singing every night at the lake house and the birds singing every morning….. just perfect relaxation. I caught large mouth bass from the dock, caught the same in the John boat… absolutely perfect. Campfires every night and the stars in the sky… just wow!!!!

Motorcycle Birthday Celebration
We came to East Tennessee for my husband's 60th birthday because he wanted to rent a motorcycle and drive the Tail of the Dragon. We had a great stay, peaceful and cooler weather than we were having in Texas. He had a blast spending two days driving the foothills of the Smokey Mountains and I had fun driving in a car in the foothills of the mountains. The only thing to note is that there is not a washer/dryer in the house but we only were there 4 nights so had plenty.

Beautiful setting for a basecamp
This cute little cabin on a pristine lake was the perfect jumping off spot for a week of hiking the trails in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The shower is a challenge, especially for taller people (I'm 6'2"). There was an issue that came up with the house, but the owner's were easy to reach and communicate with to resolve the problem within a day.

Welcome home!
My husband is from the area and this was perfect for a mini family reunion. Ages 95 to 4 years enjoyed a lovely picnic lunch and hubby caught a fish! The remaining time was spent on the lake or walking in the area. The neighbors were very friendly, we arrived after dark, the house wasn’t well lit but they helped us. We loved the quirky house, my 5’11 man was able to shower without incident, although hit his head going down the stairs. I was disappointed there was not a laundry available, although I might have misunderstood.

Nice escape
What a great place to escape for a few days or weeks. The house was exactly as described and pictured. Very clean and well appointed. Lots of nice little touches. The lake is only steps away. If you don't want to go outside, the screened in porch is great as well. Perfect for two or three people. The only problem I had was not having my check in code written down or screenshot of it as I had not service when arriving. It is noted about wi-fi calling, so that was our fault. No problems with communication from host. Thanks for this nice place to escape.

Relaxing!!
My husband and I had a great week at the house. The house was nicely decorated and had everything we needed. We were close enough to visit Gatlinburg and Cades Cove but far enough away to relax and enjoy the scenery. We enjoyed sitting on the dock in the morning and evenings enjoying the view. The timing was perfect as the leaves have already began to change colors. Our favorite part was that we love to play cards so at night we were able to sit at the table outside in the backyard with the string lights on and play cards for hours. The only negative was the shower was small and for my husband who is over 6 ft he did struggle. I would recommend this house to everyone looking to getaway for a relaxing trip. I have shared the house on my Facebook and recommended it to my friend group and hope you get more rentals. Thanks for the lovely stay!

Cozy canin
The location was lovely. The cabin was small but adequate although the shower under the stairs was way too low. Not recommended if you’re over 5’3”! Got invaded by ants and was promised pest control visit which didn’t seem to happen. We did get a next day delivery of some essentials that were insufficient for a week long stay including ant traps which helped. Had issues with the keypad lock but the property manager helped us with a work around after several phone calls to the “emergency number”. Kayak was great but there were no seats contrary to the ad. There's a John boat and trawling motor but only an emergency battery jumper to charge the battery which didn’t allow us to gauge how much charge we had. House can sleep 6 but as says limit of 4 people. Could use more adult games but lots of toys and books for very young kids.

A Great Hideaway
I was looking for a mountain retreat/getaway for my husband and I while I had work in the area and found this hideaway. It is very remote from town, fishing was great, and the cabin was spacious enough for us. We even had "Harry" the duck greet us. She was so entertaining. The dock straight out the back door and the upper screened porch was the highlight. Take the boat out too! Like others, the shower is workable.The only con for me was the Wifi. I knew signal may present a challenge in the mountains but was hoping with Wifi available I could still work. Sadly that was not the case. Even the TV wouldn't stay connected longer than 5 minutes. But most are looking to disconnect and this is the place. I also recommend to screenshot any directions before hand since GPS is spotty and the roads are tight if you miss a turn from the Parkway. Views are beautiful and neighbors respected your space.Will be back when I dont have to work!

Peaceful, relaxing, and beautiful property.... We'll be back to stay again.
It was exactly what the owner summarized about the property. It was a peaceful, relaxing, and beautiful stay. I loved the decor and colors of the furnishings on the inside... simple, clean, nicely accesorized. The kitchen was completely stocked with all necessities. Nice appliances, a variety of cutlery, dinnerware, and cookware. The screened back porch is where we enjoyed eating... it was a delight. Would be a great place to drink coffee, read a book... Comfortable living room area... not good reception with the channels but we didn't watch a lot of TV. Bed was comfortable and cozy. Bathroom off the kitchen was small but convenient. Bathroom next to bedroom was nice and clean. The shower was small for a tall person, but my husband managed. We don't have small children, but there was an extremely special play area where there were books, toys, and a TV for them. Toiletries, sheets, towels, washclothes were plentiful in the hall closet. The property could use a little manacuring but it was beautiful still. We fished from the dock and took the kayak and jon boat out. The battery to the boat was dead so my husband went out and we got a battery charger, so maybe that would have been useful to have on the property. The dock could use some kind of chairs to sit on it. A great place sunbathe also. It was so peaceful and quiet and it was Memorial weekend. So if you enjoy crowds and the rush of daily life, you probably wouldnt want to stay here. You literally hear nature in the backyard, especially the morning, the beautiful birds. We enjoyed ourselves tremendously. Was not disappointed at all. Would recommend this place to anyone wanting to get away from the noise of city life.
