★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1If you're looking for a quiet place to enjoy a fishing vacation without all the hustle and bustle or just a quiet vacation getaway then Arrowhead resort is perfect! Friendly people that go out of their way to help you. Very clean and quiet! We will definitely be going back!
September 15 · Jer HarrThis place is clean and well taken care of. The staff goes out of the way to take care of anything you ask of them. We had a issue with something not working on our boat and the staff hauled one of my buddies around and collected up the items we needed to fix the issue. Back on the water for our tournament. That is great service in my book.
May 07 · George HambyMy family stayed at Arrowhead Resort for two nights on the recommendation of a friend of a friend. We were atypical guests, as we were in the area for a family wedding rather than Watts Bar Lake activities. We did some research and found Arrowhead to be a better option than motels in the area, for reasons of both convenience and affordability.The two-bedroom apartment was clean, and the beds and the furniture were comfortable. The kitchen was handy, considering that the restaurant on the property is closed for repairs. We shopped at the nearby Piggly Wiggly and prepared our own meals.We needed clean clothes for our departure. Arrowhead provides a complimentary laundry room, so we were able to do our washing the second night.It also helped that the store on the property sells small bottles of laundry detergent, which saved us a drive when we going to be out all day. The store has everything guests need for the full Arrowhead experience, including fishing and grilling supplies.One thing in particular impressed me at check-out. The night before, my younger son lost some quarters in the Mountain Dew vending machine. A man in a pickup truck (the owner/manager?) told me to ask the staff for a refund in the morning. I did not need to ask -- the lady at the desk was already aware and provided the refund right away.Between the genial southern hospitality and the quality of the apartment, we were sorry we had to leave. If we visit the area again, we will be back at Arrowhead.
April 14 · David OhligerBeautiful views, all staff and owners so kind and helpful. Especially Norm and Rebecca..they were amazing. Made our fishing trip with our 100 (+) yr old father so special.2 bdrm w/kitchen. Very clean, large kitchen table, sitting area with sofa bed, large screen TV, wing back chair. Bedrooms are nice size with comfortable beds. Grounds are clean and well kept. Dock with covered boat slips is wide and very sturdy, no sway or pitch. (Rolled father in wheelchair to and from boat and zero issues)
May 04 · Sheila WebbI have not stayed here but from the outside it looks nice. They have rental houses, rooms and camper space. They had a fire in the restaurant and are hoping to open it back up in 2025. Quiet place.
