This is a beautiful lakefront property with 1400 feet of shoreline, surrounded by woods at the ridges of Appalachia. It is full of beautiful acreage, woods, and BREATHTAKING views! It is accompanied by a dock, beach, sand volleyball, a boat ramp, kayaks, and canoe, all included!
Have boats or watercraft of your own? Bring them! We have a boat ramp right onsite and plenty of room for your trailers, as well as docking. Play volleyball, corn hole, Beersbie, ladder golf, giant Jenga or just play in the cleanest, coolest water on the lake. The water comes right out of the mountains and dumps right at our feet. Great fishing as well in season. We are actually in one of the best areas to fish, right near Little River and Spring Creek! Eat s'mores by the campfire at the beach and watch AMAZING sunsets! String Light courtyard, privacy, and plenty of room to stretch out! SO much to do!
Close to Pirate's Bay (water park), DeSoto Falls, Cherokee Rock Village, Little River Canyon, Orbitz Glassblowing, snow skiing, horseback riding, endless trails, rappelling, caving and ziplining. We are in the ABC triangle meaning we are an hour & a half from the Atlanta, Birmingham, & Chattanooga Airports.
The views are incredible and the house has 1870 charm mixed with 21st century décor and conveniences. Breathtaking views of the lake and lawns and you can even see how the sunset pours colors into the house at "golden hour". We also have LOTS of stars, it just gets better & better!

This video will show you almost the whole property but with this listing, you are only booking the Main House & "The Rose Cottage".

After booking guests will receive tons of information about the property, nearby attractions, our items stock list, and more! We provide tons of stuff!! Our motto is you should not need to bring anything except clothes & food.

**There is a community pool next door available to Magnolia guests. It is Seasonal Memorial Day-Early Fall but lenient off-season. This is a community pool and subject to possible intermittent pockets of unavailability due to potential privately booked events. Please do not book this property solely because of this pool. Not aniticipating too much unavailability but want to disclose properly. Mostly Saturdays (if at all) anticipated and an occassional Sunday.
CLEANING FEE DISCLAIMER: We are disenchanted that we have a pass-through cleaning fee so high these days but with everything going on in the country with higher costs and labor shortages, this is our new reality. We understand that when this fee is split by the large groups that is nominal per-person but we want you to know our hearts are that we wish it wasn’t so high regardless of that. It is a very large house to turn over in such a short amount of time and weekend help is extremely hard to find help. We only have 880 people that live here so we have to be the highest paid to retain the best and they are AWESOME! Conversely, we are pleased to remind you that we have so much included with this property. Unlimited firewood, propane for grill and gas fire pit, all the coffee supplies you need except coffee. All sweeteners, powdered creamer, filters and we have a selection of tea. We have spices and oils galore. You don’t need to bring trash bags or paper goods either. We stock enough for your entire stay, not just a starter amount. Bathroom and facial tissues, paper towels, trash bags, napkins, salt and pepper shakers, dishwasher detergent, laundry detergent, aluminum foil, assorted sizes of zip lock bags, plastic Saran-type wrap, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, bar soap, Q-tips, cotton balls, filled hand soap dispensers throughout, kitchen sponges and Dawn dishwashing liquid. We have first aid kits. We have hospitality boxes with all sorts of things you and your guests may forget. There is a huge list of everything stocked for you if you would like us to send to you. Our guests have told us in reviews that all they need to bring is food and clothes. One last thing on cleaning: If you are going to check out on a weekday, please inquire if there will be a break in this fee. There is no way for us to separate it out so we would be happy to address on a case by case if you initiate. We are so thankful you are considering booking this AMAZING property.
Humbly,
Dave, Ann and our AMAZING Team

“The owner and his son were wonderful hosts during my 21-day stay. They were friendly, attentive, and thoughtful . The accommodation is roomy, and comfortable, a proper kitchen, with spectacular views of Soufriere, the Piton mountain, and the sea. It was a good base to explore the island, spend a day on several nearby beaches, and restaurants, scuba, or chill in the villa with its own infinity pool for cooling down. Thank you.

This property was everything we could ask for and more! The owners were a breeze to work with, the property was BEAUTIFUL, and it was exactly what we expected plus some. Our group of college friends (now 20+ years post graduation) and our families get together annually to celebrate our friendships. We are now at the point where we need something that can accommodate 12 families, including 22 adults and 16 children at our largest. For this trip we only had 9 families and a total of 28 people. We all had so much fun. We were able to spread out when we wanted to and then all eat and swim and hang out together at the main house. Everything was beautiful. There is nothing that we found we needed that wasn't there. The kids loved the playground, the adults loved the hot tub, and we all loved the beach area and fire pit! I cannot say enough about Dave and Ann. They checked in when we arrived and when we departed. We rented their pontoon boat for a day and it was so much fun and convenient to have access to it on site. We can't wait to return next year with hopefully the entirety of our group!
