The property was amazing, especially the view. We loved waking up early to watch the sunrise, some days from the deck and other days from the hot tub. The sunsets were also spectacular. It was a blessing to be positioned in such a way to see both the sun rising and setting clearly. All the views between were sweet too. When we had questions related to our stay, responses were quick and helpful. We also enjoyed the swimming pool area. There was plenty to do. The location of the cabin was near some beautiful experiences: hiking, kayaking, chasing waterfalls, playing pickleball. When it got dark, we enjoyed curling up together to watch movies and play board games. The kitchen area worked well for preparing meals at our home away from home too. We would highly recommend Fish Tales.
Of the 4 of us, 2 of us had stayed at Grant Summit previously (Eagleâs Nest) and had a great experience, so we came back⊠and brought 2 more! Once Again, the cabin was immaculate, cozy, serene, and even luxurious in some ways (hot tub, fireplace, view). It was incredible to just sit on the balcony- overlooking the mountains and Nickajack Dam- sip a refreshing beverage and read. The view from upstairs was even better! And the hot tub was the icing on the cake, especially because it was private and also offered a panoramic mountain/dam view as well! It is obvious the owners and staff at Grant Summit are empathetic and compassionate in providing just the right decor, furnishings, and amenities to make guests feel comfortable, valued, and even loved. Thank you so much!
Wonderful property, with amazing views of the TN river. Everything was perfect for a relaxing get away, with plenty of fun nature activities nearby. Caving, Whitewater, Hiking, Chatanooga, food, etc.
I try to point out the good and bad when I write a review, so I'll do my best to remember both sides.
Good: The view was amazing! I loved sitting on the front porch each morning while I did my Bible study. You can see boats floating on the river and wildlife buzzing around you. I loved the floor plan. I'm partially disabled and stairs are difficult for me, and I never had to go upstairs in the cabin. Upstairs has two bedrooms and one bath, so that is where our daughters stayed. The master is on the main level, so the only required stairs is going to the front porch. Everything was clean when we arrived and overall we had a great trip.
Bad: The outside lighting isn't that great. We arried at night and it was difficult to see on the path from the parking lot to the porch. Solar lights outlining the path might be a good solution. My biggest complain inside is that there isn't a dishwasher. The kitchen really isn't big enough to hold one, so I understand why one wasn't added. I just didn't like having to wash dishes on vacation. The living room TV is really small. We don't watch a lot of TV on vacation, but we did take advantage of Netflix and had a marathon of Lost in Space at night. It works, but it really is too small for such a large area.
This may not be the fault of the owner, but we were a little deceived by the location. My search parameter was for Guntersville, and Bryant is an hour away. I definitely am at fault for not doing reseach before booking, but I don't think Guntersville should be included in the search parameters. It's really closer to Chattanooga.
The trade-off to the awesome view is that you have to drive at least 40 minutes to civilazation. If you like being secluded, this is definitely the cabin for you. Just know if you like to go out for dinner, the round trip drive alone will be over an hour.
Overall, we were pleased and will consider returning, but may choose a different cabin in the group. (with a dishwasher)
We had a great week here the cabin was just as described peaceful and beautiful view. We loved that you got the sunset and sunrise all from
The same deck. We drove to some beautiful waterfalls went into Chattanooga a few days perfect week away just what we needed
I have had this place saved in my trip board and it was worth the wait to have time off to go. I could have used one more night it was so peaceful. The view is amazing from sunrise to sunset. Enough patio and privacy to hang out and enjoy the hot tub. Plenty of towels and blankets and the layout of the cabin was convenient. Communication with property owner was minimum, instructions from check in to hot tub use was thorough and easy to follow, but when I did they were quick to respond. Thank you for a great stay!
This cabin was exactly what we needed for our getaway. It was very clean and roomy. We really loved the views and the hot tub. Owners are very friendly and helpful.
Beautiful, super clean cabin with GORGEOUS views âŠ. and a hot tub! The cabin was very accommodating for our family (3 adults and two little ones) getaway with plenty of room. Good idea to bring food since restaurants are closer to town. Looking forward to returning for sure!
