Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Watts Bar Lake

My husband and I had an amazing anniversary weekend at ShallowHallow. This location has it all. Lots of space, all the amenities, and plenty of activities. We never had to leave the house. The deck overlooked the water providing peaceful breaks between spending time out on the dock. Having access to the canoe, kayaks, and paddle boards was the highlight. There was plenty of no wake zones to get out on the water and soak up some sun. We left wishing we could live there full time.

Melanie was super informative & accurate with details. You can tell she cares about the comforts we all tend to take for granted in our own homes. Our only regret is we didn’t book our trip long enough. Usually I am anxious to get back home after a few days away but I was sad to leave this time. I would 100% recommend this beautiful & peaceful home to anyone..

There are 2 beautiful houses on the property which work perfectly for traveling with extended family and friends or for rental of only one of the houses. The houses are new and thoughtfully designed for family living and relaxation inside and out - the decks are huge and make perfect extensions of the living space! Children of any age would love the place and the back entrances of the houses are accessible for people with limited mobility. Our toddlers loved the creek running through the property and the waterfall and fire pit areas are marvelous. The kitchens were wonderfully stocked with dishes and cooking pots and pans - even an air fryer! There was an old style arcade video game mounted to the wall in both houses - fun! We made day trips to the mountains and enjoyed family dinners on the porches. This is the perfect vacation spot and we will definitely be sharing the location with others and coming back ourselves! Thank you for sharing your hospitality and wonderful place with us!

I have a brother who lives in the area. This is my 3rd or 4th stay here. I love the cabins. The cost is very reasonable. It’s always clean, comfortable and peaceful here and I’m able to bring my dog.

Exceptional host! Although I made sure to pack everything I needed, it was nice to see that she had the necessities there as well. Extremely clean home in a very peaceful neighborhood! Will be planning a stay there next year when I’m in the area again!

What can I say! We were in town for a graduation and this house was everything and more! We had a wonderful time. The house was so clean, with lots of space and things for the kids to enjoy. We even played some of the board games as well as card games. The hosts had some delicious baked cookies for you upon arrival. I give this 5 stars and will come back and stay any time. We felt right at home.

Super quiet slightly rural location still close to everything I needed (groceries, restaurants, etc). The sunroom was great. The owner is WAY into Star Wars, with memorabilia everywhere, along with lots of other themed items. Clear instructions, no problems at all. Fast wifi. Comfortable and livable. I'd book this place again.

We are so grateful to have used Brandon’s Airbnb for the Midsouth Global Methodist Church Conference. I got ordained at the conference and when family decided to come on short notice, Brandon was very responsive and helpful to accommodate us! We will be staying here again in the future!!

Great host! Great value! Everything was easy and smooth right from the starts. No issues whatsoever but if we did have one we were confident they would get back to us extremely quickly.

I stayed here during a work trip and appreciated how close I was to everything! Thank you!

Beverly was a great host! Very friendly and made us feel at home. Place was perfect for my husband and I and our dogs.

This is our 2nd stay here and we absolutely love our experience. We have already booked for next year when we will be in the area for a conference.

I was glad I could stay at this Airbnb in Harriman. Blake left clear instructions on how to find the unit.

Laurie and Daniel They are the best of best and their kind and helpful and make everything wonderful for us. We already have booked another two trip in the future with them next year. We will continue to come there and stay at their place in search of that trophy bass.

This is my second time staying at John’s place. It was just as I remembered it. Very peaceful and private. He was super quick to respond and had everything we needed. Looking forward to staying again in the future!

Vickie's private studio was an absolute gem! The pictures truly don't do this place justice; it's even more charming and comfortable in person. We were immediately struck by how peaceful and quiet the apartment was, making it the perfect retreat after a long day of traveling to Knoxville. Vickie herself was an outstanding host and an amazing person – warm, welcoming, and attentive to every detail. Her place is the gold standard for what every Airbnb experience should be: immaculately clean, well-appointed, and hosted by someone who genuinely cares about her guests' comfort. We cannot recommend this studio enough and will definitely be staying with Vickie again on our next trip to Knoxville!

Great experience. 👍 From the very beginning, David was very proactive and answered all questions immediately. He was even able to accommodate my request for an early check-in as I had a function to attend that night and needed to get ready. Overall, it was a very pleasurable weekend . I would recommend David’s unit to anyone.😁

Despite the location above a busy intersection and restaurant, was reasonably quiet at night. Through, the periodic train passing through will wake you up each night.

Excellent place to stay, beautiful well designed/decorated duplex in very walkable quiet neighborhood, close to hiking/running trails. John and Amanda were super quick to respond to questions and take care of a small issue we had on the last night. Overall: loved it, would stay again!

We loved our stay in this beautiful condo! We were in town for our daughter’s college orientation and the location was perfect for visiting the UT campus regularly. The beds were super comfortable and the kitchen and family room were beautifully decorated. We were very comfortable and will definitely stay again!

We had a great stay at this Airbnb! The home was incredibly clean, well-organized, and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. The location was perfect—just a short walk to excellent restaurants, cafes, and shops, which made exploring the area super convenient. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing and well-located place to stay!

We stopped here on a long road trip, just staying overnight. It is the perfect place to crash for that type of stay. Mary was very easy to contact and responsive.

Excellent. Beautiful sunrises on clear mornings. Fortunately I’m not from The Villages so I was able to easily understand the very clear instructions provided by the hosts! Highly recommend :)

The location was close to the university, Publix and a 20 minute walk to downtown which was ideal for us. The apartment was well stocked with paper products and it was great to have an inhouse washer and dryer. It was well decorated, light and cheery. The owners were very quick to answer any questions.
