A Home, Not Just a Rental
This is our personal vacation home, not just another rental—and we’re excited to share it with you! Every season brings something special, and once you visit, you’ll want to come back again and again.
Lake Hiwassee – A Hidden Gem
Nestled in the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina, Lake Hiwassee is 93% U.S. Forest Service land, making it one of the region's most private and pristine lakes. Known for record-breaking fishing (a state-record 66-pound striped bass was caught here!), this lake is perfect for:
✔ Boating, skiing & wakeboarding
✔ Fishing & canoeing
✔ Kayaking, paddleboarding & rafting
The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) controls the lake levels—it’s full in summer and lower in fall, winter, and early spring. No worries! Our dock floats year-round on deep water frontage—it’s just a longer walk when the water is lower.

Summary: WE LOVED our short weekend here and have plans to come back. The host and views were the best part!! We spent most of our time on the porch!!

Mary P. Oct 15, 2024 09:12:57 PM

Summary: What a wonderful stay at Jessica's lake house. The house was clean and had almost everything we needed. The lake view was beautiful and just a short walk down the back stairs outside. The rooms were comfortable and there was plenty of space for the 4 of us. Just be sure to bring any groceries/food you need as the nearest grocery store is more than 30 min away.

Summary: We had a great time. Very nice house and we had plenty of room for our family of 9.. it was a long walk down to the water but the kids didn’t mind. The adults just stayed on the porch.

Kelsie R. Jul 8, 2024 11:28:26 PM

Summary: This was our 2nd stay in Bear Paw, but our 1st in the Dock Holiday home. It was amazing being right on the water, where we spent most of our time fishing and jumping off the dock. Make sure you have EVERYTHING before you head down to the water, because walking up the stairs was rough haha. The hosts were great with communication!! Plenty of space for the 6 adults and 3 kids. Sitting on the deck watching boats go by while grilling was amazing & relaxing. We rented a boat from the marina, went gem mining, visited Field of the Woods, & fished a lot at the Hiwassee damn. We will be returning to this beautiful Lakehouse!!

David R. Jun 7, 2024 02:30:09 AM

Summary: This was our second year at Dock holiday! Our whole family gathered and we loved it . Swimming,boating and dinners on the deck. It’s a very special place

Summary: We decided to travel from New Hampshire to North Carolina to visit friends and rented this Lakehouse. The house was absolutely stunning, well appointed, clean and had plenty of space to have our friends over for dinner and to visit. They did not stay overnight due to children in school and their schedules, however the house would’ve been plenty big enough if they had decided to stay. We enjoyed canoeing and kayaking. We even caught some fish. The weather was absolutely beautiful and we were able to go swimming and enjoy the sunshine. The 110 steps down to the water is easy, it’s 110 steps up to the house that remind me, I need to get back to the gym. Lol. The hosts were very responsive when booking and I have no doubt if we had any issues they would’ve been responsive. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at DockHolliday.
