Everything was great well stocked with everything we needed. Only complaint was what I am assuming was remnants of glass from the fireplace door that was on the floor and one chair. The stay was wonderful and relaxing.

Great Weekend Getaway
My wife and I live a little closer to Nashville, so this was a perfect weekend get away for us and a quick drive. Cabin is nicely furnished and very homey. The master bed was way too hard for my taste and the water was a little too low in the hot tub to run the jets without splashing, but were still quite satisfied with our stay. The cabin was nice and quiet and relatively private, the lake is visibile from the cabin. After you're off the main highway, that last couple miles of road does turn to a one lane paved and then kinda transitions to a private gravel drive going up to the cabin. We were fine in the Fusion but familiar and comfortable navigating that. Not unusal at all to see a gravel drive up a hill or mountain in rural TN. Great cabin!

A little disappointed
They main reason I rented this place was for the hot tub. I was ice cold when we checked in Friday, we increased the heat and the next morning it was still ice cold. Maintenace came but we still cook not use it until morning we checked out. The shower in the master bath was not working right so we had to use the upstairs bath it had no towels just a hand towel and wash cloth. The road leading to the house is very bad.

Misleading Views and location but still a nice Cabin
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very Nice Cabin. Very Rough Road leading to it. Don't expect to walk to the water easily based on the pictures they provide of the lake. Could not see the lake from our cabin (Possibly in deep winter when no leaves are on the trees) Queen bed is worn out and you sink towards the middle of the mattress making it difficult for 2 people to sleep in it. Well stocked and the Hot Tub is suitable for up to 4 people comfortably.

Nice Getaway
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Had a great time getting away for a few days. The house had everything we needed. The drive to it is very secluded, but that was great for us and why we came. Only issue we ran across was that the water access area shown in photos was dirty (broken bottles, old tire) so perhaps if that is advertised as part of the experience, I would suggest maintaining to some degree? It also might be time to replace some of the kid toys, most are broken, but that didn't hurt our experience. The hot tub with big wrap around porch was a kid and adult favorite alike.

Clean cabin
The cabin was very clean! We booked this cabin because it had a hot tub, however, we could not enjoy the hot tub because the chemicals were SO strong that our eyes were burning and it took the color out of our bathing suits. As a result, we only spent about 5 minutes in the hot tub and didn’t get in again. Also, the beds are super uncomfortable, to the point of the mattress sinking in the middle. The kitchen was described as a chef’s kitchen, but there were no oven mits, or pot holders, no dish cloths and only two kitchen towels. Overall, we enjoyed ourselves, but were very disappointed by not being able to utilize the hot tub.

Great Family Vacation
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed here for a 4 day family vacation. The location was great and we loved the lake! The views were amazing! Boat rental through Hidden Harbor was also excellent. We enjoyed hiking at the state park and visiting the Jack Daniels distillery. The house was beautiful and better than pictured. The kitchen needed a few more storage items, and maybe a tea maker. The a few issues we had was no direct lake access from the house, which was deceiving from the pictures, the propane tank on the grill ran out mid grilling, and there were wasps getting into the house somehow. We would have like to have lake access. I would recommend the house and the location. We really enjoyed the hot tub! We would definitely consider coming back. Center Hill Chalet property management was excellent to work with.

Perfect!
This was a great getaway spot for my boys and I. Plenty of room for the four of us. As the description of the place says, I highly suggest a high profile vehicle. I am thankful I have a Tahoe, because I would imagine taking a low sitting car up the road that goes right to the house, would not be a good idea. We ventured into Nashville one day and into Cookeville. Plenty of cookware. There was even an electric griddle that I used to make pancakes on. We sleep with box fans for white noise. They had one available, which was great. So, if you need a fan for noise they had at least one there to use. I also like having a night light in the bathrooms. Which there are no night lights. So bring your own or there is a Dollar General nearby (surprise!) that you can buy some. Communication with the host and rental agency was good. Oh, the gas grill does not light on its own. You will need one of those longer lighters to get the pilot lit. I had one with me but I did see one in a drawer in the kitchen. Overall I was very happy with the home and the location. I live in a rural area anyway, so being away from the hustle and bustle of a town doesn’t bother me. I would definitely go back :)

Lago Vista Center Hill
Very quiet and relaxing with the exception of a little construction work above us but we understand the area is growing. Master bed mattress was way too firm for our liking. Master bathroom door did not latch and one of the upstairs bedroom window mechanisms did not work. We reported it but told them it was not a problem if they wanted to correct the issues after we left. We also found a bird trying to build a nest inside the gas grill but I cleaned it out and it worked fine. We had a power outage for about an hour after the storm rolled through late Friday night and again Saturday morning for about half a day due to all the wind the night before but we called Caney Fork power and they came out within couple hours sawed off the downed tree and got our power back on before 3pm. Not a big deal, stuff happens sometimes. Could have been a lot worse. None of the things I have just stated would not keep me from wanting to stay at Lago Vista again. Overall we had a very relaxing and enjoyable retreat with our family.

Family Time
Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home and landscape is beautiful. But make sure you have an SUV or truck to get you up the steep, rocky incline to the house. They should put that in the description of the property. House was dusty and had dead bugs on floors, in baths and sinks. There was urin smell on the floor between the beds in upstairs bedroom possibly from a pet and dirty sheets on one of the beds. The DVD player didn't work. I called management and was told no walk thru had been done before we arrived. They sent someone over to clean and brought a DVD player and told me they would comp me a night. The maintenance man told us he would bring wood for a fire but never showed again. I have seen no credit or comp yet. My sister lives in Smithville and I've rented from this company before so I am suprised about this and very dissapointed. Not sure I'll rent from them again.

Wonderful Weekend
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Four college girlfriends and I spent two nights in Lago Vista in January 2015. We had a great time. The house was beautiful, comfortable, and very clean. The drive to this cabin was very scary and we wished we had gotten there before dark because it is hard to find and up a VERY steep hill. The directions mention an arrow realty sign which we never found. Once we got there, we were very happy with the cabin. It was very roomy for the five of us and had a full stocked, updated kitchen that was a pleasure to use. We had even made a silly request for a framed picture of Elvis, since we would be arriving on his birthday. Even this request was accommodated beautifully! The only reason I gave 4 stars, instead of 5, is that we were not able to use the hot tub. We weren't told that the hot tub would take so long to heat up. By the time we wanted to use the hot tub at night, there wasn't enough time to heat it to a reasonable temperature. It was very cold when we arrived. The area is very nice with great views. We enjoyed a short hike while we were there. Overall a great stay, but the drive is quite scary at night. (By the way, the instructions for the door lock are backwards. It should say turn right to unlock and left to lock.) Thanks.

Dirty, smell of cigarettes, and not as marketed. Mgt does not care!
Our short two night stay began with a whopping cigarette residue smell throughout the entire cabin. When we checked in, the smell of this being a "smoker's home" was blatantly apparent to our sense of smell. Because two of us are allergic, and the place was not as described, we contacted host's afterhours line (it was a holiday weekend) right away, as instructed in our check in manual. After receiving a call back from the property manager, she informed us there was nowhere else to put us and assured me that it was in fact, a non-smoking cabin, and further attempted to assert this home had never been smoked in as, she claimed, she certainly would know if it had, because she used to be a smoker, and she has been in the home recently. Well, in our opinion, this was dishonesty at its finest. With nowhere to go, we stayed 1 night. After experiencing upper respiratory issues related to the rampant cigarette residue derived air quality issues in the cabin, we left at 7am the next day, cutting our vacation short. Host refused refund, although we informed them at check in the cabin did not meet the contractual agreement. Our money spent is now pending a claim with our credit card via purchase protection, after VRBO was not of much help. If you are a smoker, then I would say you will feel right at home. House was also dirty. Stains on carpet in Master bedroom beside bed. Urine stains running down inside of the toilet lids. No towels in master bath. Spiders (which can be expected).
