Home is on a one-acre lake view lot across a low-traffic neighborhood street from Melton Hill Lake, a Tennessee Valley Authority managed lake. There is no public lake access at that location nor are there any safety barriers. A public park one mile away has boat launch area, fishing pier, picnic pavilion, and free parking.

Norris and Big Ridge State Parks about 15 miles away have boat rentals and public access areas. Children are welcome; however, we do not provide infant gear or small children safety devices, the lake across street presents a water hazard, and the yard is not fenced so children should not be left unattended outside (or ever). Home is accessible for some people with mobility disabilities, but not all. To enter the home, at least one guest must be capable of walking from the driveway to the front of the house and climbing two steps to open the home's front door where keybox is located. Once inside the home, the kitchen door opens to the garage which has a ramp between kitchen and garage floors for mobility/wheel chair (also makes it easier to wheel in suitcases). Kitchen door is 36" (about 34" opening). The main area of the home -- kitchen, living room, family room, bedrooms, and baths -- is single level. Master bedrooms and master bath door are 32 inches (about 30 inch opening). Queen and Twin bedrooms have 32 inch doors. Second bath has smaller door. Enclosed sleeping porch is accessed by a ramp from family room. Interior flooring is laminate in kitchen and family room, vinyl tile in baths, carpet in living room and bedrooms.

CLEANING: We clean between but not during guest stays. Washer-dryer are available for guest use. For trash pickup, guess must bring trash to pickup area at host's home across street. When bagging kitchen and other trash, compress paper and plastics as much as possible to reduce volume and placed bagged trash in the covered can in garage. since the home is on a septic tank and not city sewer, we discourage use of garbage disposal. insteas, to avoid a "stinky" garbage can in garage, we encourage guests to feed cooking scraps and food waste to neighborhood critters (birds, rabbits, groundhogs) along driveway or backyard fence -- they appreciate the handouts and you might enjoy watching them and just about anyrhing editable is gone by morning.

ABOUT THE HOUSE: It's a roomy, mid-1960s brick ranch with minor 1980s renovations and furnishing for kick-back comfort just like your grandparents' home. And, like your grandparent's house, it meeds updating and has a few quirks such as 2 and 3-way light swiches you have to flip until you get lucky and ceiling fans that require both wall switch and remote to work and 2 or three way switches (just be thankful there are no "clappers" or wi-fi controlled door locks or lights). the hot tub in porch photos IS NOT OPERATIONAL and slated for removal just as soon as we can figure out how to get it iut and moved to the patio between house and first detached garage where an unfished plumbing proget now exist. Consider your self warned not to exit door with "do not open" warnings. Also, as throught this area, our internet provider is Comcast Xfinity, so bring your own wi-fi hotspot if you want truly reliable internet.
