Other Things to Note:
The Area:
Run the Waters is surrounded by nature and is NOT IN CLOSE PROXIMITY to local businesses and restaurants. There are no food delivery services at this location so please plan accordingly. Baxter is approximately 11 miles away and Cookeville is approximately 16 miles away.
Marina for boats:
The closest marina is Cookeville Boat Dock that is approximately 8 miles or about 16 minutes drive. There is a restaurant and boat rentals.
The Walking Trail to the Lake:
The trail is a steep (3) min hike down to the lake so be sure to bring good hiking shoes for the hike. The downwards hike is somewhat easier than the hike upwards. Also, the trail property is owned by US Army Corps of Engineers so please be respectful to the property and no littering on the trail. Please help us keep the trail clean by picking up any trash others may have left behind.
Transportation:
The preferred means of transportation is by truck or SUV as portions of the roadway are steep, loose gravel, and can often be uneven terrain. Any vehicle with a high ground clearance should not have any issues navigating the roadway. Also, during winter months the roadway may be very difficult or impossible to navigate due to hazardous winter weather.
Parking:
The parking pad may accommodate (4) or (5) vehicles.
Boats:
Due to the steepness and curviness of the roadway with the lack of turn around area on a dead end road, we do not recommend towing boats/trailers to the house.
Grilling:
There is a propane grill provided and there is also a fire pit grate to cook over fire.
Gas Fireplace:
The gas fireplace located in the living room will only be functional during September through March.
Fire pit:
A wood burning fire pit is available for use. Firewood is not provided.
Coffee Pot:
There is a Keurig K-Duo Single-Serve & Carafe Coffee Maker. Some K-cups are provided. If a pot of coffee is preferred, you will need to provide your own.
