We've stayed at this property twice, and will again!
great property, plenty of parking for the boat trailer, quiet cove to float, kayak, paddle board, etc. 10-15 minute idle out to the main channel depending on your "no wake" speed. That might seem like a lot but my boat enjoyed the gentle warm up and cool down. There is a gentle slope to the dock so it's an easy walk. The dock is very nice with overhangs so even the boats on the outside are under cover. It's a plastic or resin deck, so no splinters. There were bumpers already hanging on the metal poles to keep your boat from getting dinged up. One thing I would change is adding about 10 ft to the gangway to the dock. The lake was dropping while we were there (about a foot every-other-day), and by the last day there were some rocks and mud to drag the cooler over to get to the dock. We were there there 3 years ago with the lake full, and did not notice, so it likely doesn't make a difference most of the time. (dock was adjusted while we were there, so plenty of water stayed under the boat, even with the 3 ft drop during our stay.) The House is very well kept, even the grill was clean. The owner pays a lot of attention to detail, to the extent of spare remote control batteries in the TV stand drawer. Nice fire pit with wood stacked & ready. Take some fire starters to make it easy. There is a nice grocery store in Maynardville only a10 minute drive, so you don't need to pack everything with you from home or "hit the store" on the way in. On the water, it is extremely close to beach island (a few minutes once out of the cove) and a half hour (25mph) or so to Jimmy's (Norris Landing Marina) if you're not cooking.

Home was extremely clean and beds were very comfortable which are always our top travel concerns. Gunner was super responsive to questions before and during stay. Lake itself was dead (March) but seems like this area would never be super busy- pretty far from grocery, restaurants, Norris Dam, and Cumberland Gap Natl Park so we would probably look for a different location if we returned.

Gunner was a great host. Prompt to respond to any questions we had, let us check in early as the unit was already clean by the time we arrived. Great boat dock, great back yard areas, great sleeping set up. 10 out of 10 would rent again.

Perfect family house
The house was exactly as described and shown in pictures. The shared dock was great to have for easy access on and off of the lake. The location of the cove was perfect and quiet, allowing us to swim off the dock and paddle board around the area. The layout of the house was well thought out for families, with each bedroom being very spacious and with a bathroom. My son wanted to make this our permanent house. :) I would definitely recommend it for your family stay!

Clean and nice
The location on the water was perfect and it's a very easy drive by car. The house was clean and new. I wish there was a privacy fence separating you from the house next door. There are outdoor security cameras everywhere, which was a little creepy. None of the bathrooms have towel racks and the kitchen needs a pantry for food storage. Overall, I liked the house and would recommend.

Beautiful Home with great access to the Lake!
This home was very nice. It fulfilled all our primary vacation needs. The dock was perfect for fishing, storing a boat, swimming as well as launching kayaks & Sea Doo's. The hot tub was a nice touch. This home needed some towel racks in the bathrooms and that is about it! The owner/manager was very responsive and easy to contact! GREAT HOME!

Hickory Valley house is a STAR
*Great place for a three generation vacation! *The location was easily accessible from our home in Kentucky. *The covered dock was very nice, plenty of space for two pontoons and a jet ski. *10 minutes from a grocery store and 5 minutes from a gas station by car. *10 minutes from Beach Island Marina. *The house had everything needed for a pleasant stay. *Easy walk to the dock. *The only thing we would have liked was a designated walkway to the dock. There is plenty of grass, which helps. *We would definitely consider staying here again. *The owner was very quick to respond to our requests and questions. Thanks for sharing your home!

Piece of Paradise
This property is breath taking. The home was clean and everything as advertised. The boat dock which is a short stroll down a gentle slopped back yard was ideal for our 24' deck boat. You can also swim right off the dock. The only thing missing from this gorgeous home, was a toaster. Thanks for sharing a piece of paradise with us.

Beautiful, clean home in a great location
House is very new, nice view, great location, not far from Beach Island Marina and activities and open lake space. Each room is nicely furnished, good size space with TV's, movies and games in each for those rainy days. Bathroom for each bedroom is wonderful. Kitchen is well equipped, all appliances new. Hot tub was a bonus. Dock is very nice, much better than the pictures. Owner is very attentive to needs, if any. We will definately return!

Very nice place
Nice and clean home well appointed and great dock for the boat. Would have liked to have a few more supplies in the house. ( No spare trash bags and only a couple pods for dishwasher......we were there for 5 days and only a couple pods were there for us. Not the end of the world) Also would like some place to hang up towels in bathrooms. There are no towel racks in either bathroom and so your towel ends up on the floor . We spent a lot of time washing towels.
