Tallassee Cottage | Hilltop Hideaway: Lakefront Cottage in the Smoky Mountains

1 Bedroom Cottage in Tallassee

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.

Summary: 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!

Summary: Cozy. On the lake

Summary: 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!!!!

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.

Summary: Peaceful and cozy little cabin on the lake. Will definitely book again when we return to the area!
Richard K. Oct 11, 2024 03:16:02 AM
Summary: 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.
Patricia J. Sep 16, 2024 05:40:56 AM
Summary: 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!

Summary: 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.

Summary: We really enjoyed everything about our stay. The hosts were attentive when we had questions, and the property itself is very well maintained.
