Lakeview Cedar Chalet

The overall experience was good. The home was very relaxing and spacious

The property is nicer in the pictures than in person which was to be expected. The furniture could be updated. The carpet in the basement needs pulled up and replaced. Some ceiling tiles showed signs they had leaked at some point and they could be replaced. A lot of walking up and down 2 stories to get to your vehicle then back up to the living area. Two major downsides were that there is virtually no safe area for kids to play outside and you are 30 min from the nearest store or even gas station. We did overall enjoy our stay.

It was just what we needed!

Enjoyed our stay. No frills, fit our needs. Home is dated. Some appliances didn't work. Toilet ran constantly. Cabin was clean and fully furnished it was a very good experience. We are looking forward to our next visit already. One other thing, parking area really needs a guard rail and lightning.

Our family got together in the middle of the state for a weekend retreat. It was a great location with lots of room. We were able to get out and hike the hills...saw lots of deer. Very quiet. You do need to be able to maneuver stairs to get in the home.
The home itself could use a little updating. The stove is falling apart. Parts of the window in the kitchen was falling off. A hole in the wall going down the lower stairs. Just little things but it would improve the home.
Overall we had a great time just being together

Overall, this was a great place to stay for a group of us attending a nearby wedding. It would have been nice if a few more basic essentials were on the property (salt & pepper, cooking spray, most notably something we could use to wash dishes!) Would be great if a new dish sponge could be left for each renter - a very inexpensive cost for the management company...thanks

We had a great time and over 38 of us at our family reunion. We had 3 families stay at the house.The house was just o.k. need of some updates, outside decking not well maintained and was not cleaned as the contract stated. Well stocked and everything inside the house was as stated. Would rent again with more cleaning prior to rental.

Very relaxing and fun with children and grandchildren

What a great place to get away and spend some time with family. My kids and grandkids spent Thanksgiving weekend at the Lakeview Cedar Chalet and it was amazing. So much space for my grandkids to enjoy. The view was amazing. The living space and kitchen was perfect for what we needed. Little rustic, but we so enjoy all the space indoors and outdoors! Would definitely plan another treat to the chalet.

We were there for two nights and were generally pleased with the property. They supply enough (toilet paper, dish washer detergent, dish soap) for two nights but you may want to bring an SOS or Brillo pad for the heavy duty pots if you are cooking. We had 5 couples so each couple got a bed room - some better than others. You need to be able to negotiate stairs.

Very nice place to stay for a group. Hot tub, screened in porch, living room were favorites of everyone to relax. Overall, well kept and clean. Only complaints I had were the large windows needed washing and the grill could use some new grates. I very much enjoyed our stay and would like to come back again.

We had a family of 10 stay in the chalet and had plenty of room. Nicely equipped, clean, and quiet. It's remote and only a short 5 minute drive to the marina where you can dock and/or refuel a boat. Fishing from the shore was fun where we caught good size bass & crappie. Plenty of room for all to eat together in the kitchen for family meals. It could use a little updating, but we all had a great time. Went to the Nashville Zoo about an hour or so away and was pleasantly surprised. Best zoo we have visited in a long time. Customer service was great. Thanks Cedar Hill for the nice stay!

We had a great time at this house. 5 families all got together right after Christmas and this was perfect! The bunk room in the lower level was huge and great for all of the bigger kids. We brought a couple of air mattresses for the little kids and some slept on the floor in the bunk room and others in the separate bedrooms. For a house this big and with this many people, we did run out of silverware, but the house did provide a bunch. There were plastic bowls and plates for the little kids. There were lots of towels in the house, and then most of us brought a couple too so there were enough. There definitely weren't enough dish towels though and no hot pads for getting things out of the oven. The main room had a great view and was nice and open with a huge table. There isn't anything close by, but that's not what we were looking for so it was perfect. We pretty much stayed at the house or went for short walks around the property/neighborhood and that was it. The beds were comfortable. The water pressure was good and hot enough. I would recommend bringing your own dish soap and dishwasher detergent, as well as some laundry products if you plan on doing laundry while you're there. Overall, I would highly recommend this house to your family!!!

We had 9 adults and 5 children in our party. This house worked well for us. It's in a beautiful location, the house is nice, and the open floor plan is great.

The only issue, as others mentioned, was the number of bathrooms. I wish there had been just one more.

We had such a wonderful time here and look forward to going back in the future.

We enjoyed our stay in this Chalet! It was clean, plenty of towels and a well equipped kitchen! They have maximized the space to accommodate lots of folks! Nicely updated and enjoyed the deer and surrounding nature!

This cabin was everything my group of 14 needed. The kitchen space was especially appreciated. Members of our group were talking about reserving it for other events before we even left the property.

Manager's Response

There were 9 of us ladies and we had a wonderful time. We rented the Lakeview Cedar Chalet in Smithville, TN. The cabin was clean and very comfortable. It had enough seating so that we could all gather together in the main room. We had a beautiful view of the lake as well.
With that said we do have a few recommendations. We knew that this chalet was not handicap accessible but there were 9 of us ages mid 60's-mid 70's and none of us have a handicap issues. But I would like to recommend a railing for the outdoor stairs. When you enter the chalet it is not on the main floor so you have another narrow flight of stairs. So there are a lot of stairs to climb when you are bringing in a lot of stuff. I am mentioning this in case you want to bring an older person with you if you rent this cabin. One other small detail, the 2 can openers in the kitchen are in dire need of replacement.
We had a wonderful time and we would recommend this chalet to friends.

We enjoyed the home and the porches for our girls' weekend. The view of the lake was beautiful. We had plenty of space to relax and cook meals at the house.

Manager's Response

This was the perfect place to have a family vacation. We have a large family and the space was large enough to accommodate us all without feeling like we were on top of each other. There was a ping pong table downstairs which was fun for games. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and the hot tub was perfect to relax in the evening time. The staff was responsive to every request. We had a great stay and would highly recommend this place.

Manager's Response

We had a Wonderful stay. The lake-house provided sufficient room for our group. The lower level room was perfect for the kids. All those bunk beds and ping pong table were perfect. We had an absolutely fabulous time. We will be returning next year...

We loved our stay here. It was extremely convenient to come in from Nashville for the weekend. Slept our group really comfortably. We are already thinking of when we can go back!

Excellent property. Courteous and efficient staff at the main office. Clean. Comfortable chalet lay-out. Really does need a third bathroom to accommodate the number of bed space available. My family wants to return here next December.

We met a small group of our extended family here and had an amazing holiday weekend together. There was plenty of space for everyone and the large space downstairs with the ping pong table was perfect for all the little guys (we had 4 kids with us ages 4-11). The grocery store wasn't too far, but could take a while to get to due to the winding road, I would recommend bringing what you need at the beginning and plan to limit the trips you need to make in. With it being the end of summer bugs were out in full force so we didn't take full advantage of the outdoor areas but there were great views from the tables and balconies and the community pool was a ton of fun!

Manager's Response

The atmosphere and view are spectacular!! Very serene and cabin was very clean and roomy! We will definitely be back!

We planned our vacation to do several different things. Once we got to the chalet we had family visit from oaklahoma we haven't seen in 13 years . They were staying close by so we just had great visits, rented a boat and made memories. The place is beautiful, only down fall would be that we needed another bathroom. We had 15 people staying & it would have been nice. Would love to come back.

Manager's Response

Great choice for the extended family.

Manager's Response

Overall, nice experience. Liked the lake view. Eight in our group. Plenty of room (dining, beds, outside seating). Large screen porch and outside hot tub were nice. The two small baths were inconvenient for our group. The one thermostat did not allow a comfortable temperature to be set on both floors (the basement was considerably colder than the main floor).
