This place was AMAZING! Better than expected, nothing fancy but everything we needed. We had the lake to ourselves, my son and grandkids visited and loved the water utilizing the paddle boats and kayak. The large deck has lighting, fire pit, BBQ and plenty of seating. My husband spent hours fishing off the deck & in the paddleboat. It’s private, serene, & cozy. We will definitely stay here again. The hosts responded promptly to any questions. The only glitch was the dryer didn’t get hot to dry our clothes & we had to pack damp clothes. But for the week we stayed here that is no big deal in our overall wonderful stay.

Camping on top of the lake
Exceeded my expectations. More than enough room for two people. Equipped with everything you need (except dryer) and then some. Being right on top of the water facing the lake was the best part for me. Cabin has a huge porch with firepit, grills, outdoor ceiling fans and lights all around, carport right off porch and your privacy Very cozy and roomy. Plenty of kitchenware, towels, life jackets (all sizes.) and kayaks. Owner and Host's communication and friendliness was the best. We booked for a week stay. We didn't catch many fish and the ones we did were small, but we did catch some rays and a good time and would love to stay again. The cabin is off the beaten path, minutes from Burgess Falls and Cookeville. If you want to stay around crowds, noise, traffic and streetlight's this is not the place for you. The frogs and birds the loudest thing here, and the lighting is up to you. A great stay at a great price.

Much needed family time!
We enjoyed everything about our stay! It was so nice to just unplug and enjoy quality time with my husband and daughter! This cabin has everything you need plus picture perfect views and a nice secluded feel while only being a few short minutes from town. It’s also about a mile from Burgess Falls, we did a little hike there on day 2! Couldn’t recommend this spot more! I’ve already sent booking info to 3 friends who asked where we stayed after seeing our pics!

Best weekend getaway for family or fishing or both
This property is everything it says it is then some and very clean . The property owner was very easy to reach and reply’s quickly. The private lake is amazing also very established for fishing its a true fisherman's getaway ! We caught several catfish and some bluegill and bass and a at least 40lb grass carp . Truly amazing spot will be back soon !

Rustic Country
We had so much fun staying at this property. Our host was wonderful! There was excellent communication and attention when we needed things. The kayaks were so fun! And fishing off the front porch was wonderful. 😊 We didn’t catch anything but my 4 year old had lots of fun talking to the smaller fish that we could see right off the front porch.
The only thing to note would be remember your sunscreen and bug spray. Also, a coffee pot would be great to add.
