The lake view was not as displayed in the photos. Turns out, the Tennessee Valley Authority begins draining this lake/reservoir in August, and doesn't begin refilling it until mid-March. They say it may not be full again until mid-May.

Our stay started out very rocky. No AC, people showing up unannounced, poor communication about timing for service. The lake is great, and the house was nice enough. ½ the plugs are 2 prong so keep that in mind and the cabin is OLD, like glass fuses. But it could have been worse, and the Lake access made it better. Once the AC got working, everything we needed for the rest of the week was good.

A lot of things needed updated, towel rack in bathroom room busted on check-in. Dishwasher falling out of the cabinets and not secured. Few light bulbs not working. Smoke detectors missing in rooms. Visible signs of previous water damage. Dryer vents into main part of the house. Location is great and beautiful. Back yard and Gazebo amazing. Very comfortable beds. Property just needs TLC and lots of updates.

Nostalgiclake cabin
We had a wonderful family vacation at Back in Time. The 4 us ( 21 and 24 kids) loved the nostalgia of the lake house and thoroughly enjoyed all the Elvis decor. The name Back in Time is a perfect description of the house, it was like spending a week in the past in simpler times when everything was a little less rushed. The views of the lake are amazing to wake up to, and the water is gorgeous! We could have spent all day in the water, but we were also busy with all the attractions in Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, and hiking (all about an easy 30 min away). Advice if going with little kids, the walkway to the lake is a steep walk and the dock has loose boards that we tripped over a few times. But that was the only issue while there! Was so nice not to have to bring sheets and towels and the beds were made when so got there!! That made me a happy mama! Check out was very easy and communication was immediate. We loved our week at Back in Time and the memories we made were priceless.
