Other Details to Note
-Watts Bar Lake is at full-pool May through October (lower during droughts). Water is reduced by the TVA to low-pool November though April, so that boating is restricted to the deepwater middle, and shore docks become shallow to dry, making boating and water-centric activities from our dock unavailable during those low-pool months. Access to our lake haven area remains open, however, and the waterfront views and sunsets are amazing year-round! In fact, wintertime offers the best lake views from the cabin! -Part of the RockyTop Ridge period log cabin’s charm comes from its age and unique design! Because it’s been lovingly renovated, you may notice a few “quirks” that we think add to its personality: •Newly refinished wood floors & stairs can be a little slippery—please take your time, especially in socks. Owner has provided complimentary no-slip footies for guest convenience. •Ceilings upstairs slope with the A-frame roof, so mind your head in the kid’s loft & a few cozy corners. •The original log cabin didn’t allow for addition of full hvac ductwork upstairs, so an added window unit helps keep things nice & comfortable in bedroom 2 in the warmer months. All rooms feature fans so guests can always stay perfectly cool! -Fido Friendly: We welcome up to 2 sweet pups (see Property Info for all the thoughtful pet features provided), but for everyone’s safety & wellbeing (including the owner’s pets), we require all dogs to be kept on-leash at all times at the property. Dogs are not allowed on furniture or beds. -Recreational Adventure: If you don’t have a 4WD/AWD vehicle but want to access our lake haven area, our 4WD Polaris Ranger multi-passenger ATV is available for our guests, included in your stay at no extra cost, under these conditions: -we require a signed liability waiver (see full waiver information below). -must provide copy of valid driver’s license of any ATV driver(s), who must be 21 or older. -we require a $300 refundable deposit in case of damage. -ATV must stay on designated property trails. -We reserve the right to not provide access to the Polaris Ranger ATV if proper documentation and security deposit are not provided, and to revoke access if operating rules are not followed.
