Wake up and step straight onto the water’s edge, cast a line, launch a kayak, or rent a boat for the day. Top Deck sits above the marina store in the heart of Watts Bar Lake in Spring City, overlooking the cove and docks. Savor lake views from your private deck, then walk down to the sandy beach, volleyball court, fire pits, and community spaces for a relaxed, family-friendly waterfront escape.

Top Deck Cabin is a private, upstairs cabin suite located above the marina store at Shelter Cove Marina & Campground, with an elevated viewpoint over the cove and docks. It’s designed as a simple, comfortable home base for lake days and relaxed nights, with a layout that works well for couples, small families, or a group of up to four.

Inside, you’ll have a bedroom, a full bathroom, and a main living area that includes seating and a small workspace. The cabin also includes a kitchen area for basic meals and snacks. Outside, you’ll have an upper deck space where you can sit and take in the marina and water views. This is an active marina environment, so you’ll be close to shared community amenities like the beach, fire pits, and common gathering areas, and you’ll see normal daytime activity around the docks and store.

Guests have full access to the entire Top Deck Cabin and private deck. 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.

We give guests space and privacy, but we’re easy to reach and responsive. If you have any questions before arrival, need local recommendations, or anything comes up during your stay, please message us through Airbnb and we’ll help as quickly as possible. Don’t hesitate to reach out at any time with questions or concerns.

This is a true marina/campground setting right on Watts Bar Lake, so you may notice normal waterfront activity during the day (boats coming and going, guests enjoying shared spaces, and occasional campground/marina operations). Quiet hours still matter—sound carries over the water—so please keep music and outdoor noise respectful, especially in the evenings.

Please follow the posted campground and marina guidelines for parking, trash, pets (if applicable), and shared amenities. For safety, use extra care around the docks, shoreline, and any wet surfaces, and keep a close eye on children near the water. The exact location and check-in details will be provided after booking; if anything is unclear, message us anytime through Airbnb.
