LaFollette Vacation Rentals

Let me start by saying that once we opened the door to Payton's Place we were delighted and immediately impressed with the view and we were thrilled to see that the dock was still in place despite being early November. My husband and I took a 'working' vacation with our dog to grasp at the last bits of summer and this place was the perfect spot to do so. The place was exceptionally clean inside - It was very, very clean! We had some questions for the Vacasa staff, and not only did they respond immediately, the property manager also followed up with us after traditional working hours. I also loved the emails from Vacasa notifying us that we could check in early as the house was ready ahead of the 4:00 check in time! This was delightful as we arrived in town an hour prior to check-in, giving us more time to unpack and enjoy the amazing sunsets from the deck. Maybe because it's fall, but the neighborhood was so quiet and tranquil. The view from the deck of the hillside homes was so beautiful. I mentioned earlier that my husband and I both had to work, which meant logging into our company's VPN and taking multiple video conference calls. The Wi-Fi was exceptional! No dropped calls, no lagging on our extensive spreadsheets. There is limited cell service in the area, you might want to use GPS to find your way to the house once you arrive at the front check-in security booth. We lost our cell and had to pull over to switch to GPS, but had no problems finding the place. Also, very nice that there is a Vacasa sign in front of the driveway announcing that you'd arrived a Payton's Place. The hot tub was AMAZING! So Clean! So comfortable, if you go you have to try out the part of the hot tub that is like sitting in a recliner...it was so soothing, especially after I had spent the mornings paddleboarding with my dog (we brought our own inflatable paddle board). The Powell River was quiet and perfect for paddleboarding. A young buck visited each morning, and did enjoy watching me struggle to bring the paddleboard up the steps. Yes, the steps/ramp going down to the lake are steep but you quickly adjust! Yes, the driveway is steep, just take it slow. There was plenty of toilet paper and supplies. Bring your own coffee, you can make drip or K-Cups. PS the coffee bar is adorable! I loved the collection of coffee mugs, such a nice, cozy decorative touch. Our bed was comfortable, the shower and bath were so nice. Each morning, I felt like I was treating myself to a spa vacation! We went a day trip to Cumberland Gap National Park and enjoyed the view from the Pinnacle and lunch at nieteen 19. We were so lucky to find this gem! Being from Chicago, and noticing the baggo boards, we are hoping that maybe this place was named for Walter Payton!

We take a trip each year, my three adult children and spouses my wife and I. This year we were able to get to Norris Laje, specificallyj, Lafollette TN. The property was perfect, room enough for all to be comfortable and space enough to have lots of fun. We played pool, board games and rented a boat to cruise the water. We will come back, so much fun!

Pecks Perch is so cozy and the cutest little lake house. This home is so spacious and has 2 patio areas that look over the lake. The beds are very comfortable with plenty of space in each room for your things. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything that you would need, just like you are at your own home. You can go on a nature walk, head down to the dock and take a swim, or have a little fire in the evenings. All you need to do is bring your family or friends and whatever food you want to enjoy your get away. Whether it is the sunrise in the morning or the sunset in the evening the views are just breathtaking! I highly recommend this lake house!! This lake house is the perfect romantic getaway for 2, or a fun getaway for the whole family.
