Escape to Elk Valley Cottage, a cozy lakefront cottage at Shelter Cove Marina on Watts Bar Lake. Wake up to water views, enjoy the beach and campground amenities, and bring your boat, an uncovered slip is included (when available).

Paddle the cove with our free kayak, then unwind with Netflix/Disney+ plus arcade & board games. Perfect for couples, families, or a small group.

Elk Valley Cottage is a private, lakefront cottage at Shelter Cove designed for an easy, comfortable stay for up to 6 guests. Inside, you’ll have one bedroom, one full bathroom, and a main living area with additional sleeping space, simple, clean, and set up to work well for couples, families, or a small group.

The cottage includes a kitchen for quick meals and snacks, plus space to relax after a day on the water. Step outside and you’re in a true waterfront setting, perfect for morning coffee, sunset wind-downs, and being just steps from the lake and marina atmosphere.

Guests have full access to the entire Elk Valley Cottage and its private outdoor space. During your stay, you’re also welcome to enjoy the campground and marina amenities, including access to the beach and shared community areas.

If you’re bringing your own boat, you’ll receive a complimentary uncovered boat slip for the duration of your stay (subject to availability and marina guidelines). We also provide a kayak that you’re welcome to use free of charge during your stay for exploring the cove and getting out on the water.

Please message us through Airbnb if you need anything during your stay. We’re available to help with questions, recommendations, or any issues that come up, and we’ll respond as quickly as possible. Don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns.

This is a waterfront marina/campground environment, so expect normal daytime activity around the lake (boats coming and going, guests enjoying shared areas). Evenings are meant to be peaceful, please keep music and outdoor noise low since sound travels over the water. Your stay includes a complimentary uncovered boat slip if you bring your boat (subject to availability: message us with boat details ahead of time) and access to a free kayak; please follow basic water safety and supervise children closely near the shoreline and docks. As with any lakefront stay, you may encounter bugs and weather shifts, bring what you need to stay comfortable.
