Great fishing, convenient location. Only problem we had was a clogged sink in hallway bathroom and stove was dirty. Other than that we had a great time! Fished from the dock during the rain, still caught a few

Great relaxing stay
My family stayed for three nights to fish Chikamauga lake and visit Chattanooga. The house is very clean, well equipped and the host was great with communication. For anyone bringing a boat, there is plenty of parking for multiple boats and Armstrong Ferry boat ramp is just down the road.

Sand Hill Crane Festival
Three brothers and two wives met at the Lake House for the Sand Hill Crane Festival in Birchwood. First, the festival was so interesting and fun and a must do if you like birds. Second, the cabin was fabulous! It was a cold weekend but the fireplace kept us cozy. The bedrooms were very comfortable; the kitchen was well-stocked with cookware and utensils; the view of the dock and lake were fabulous. We saw hundreds of sand hill cranes closer up than at the festival viewing site! It was too cold to enjoy the incredible patio and balcony, but, that would be awesome in the summer. Richard was easily available to answer questions. HIGHLY recommended for any season!

Great get away
This is our second time staying at the cabin. We have two large dogs and they absolutely love the property and the space to run. The cabin is always so cozy and comfy and we really enjoyed watching the leaves change since we don’t really get fall in Florida. The host was very quick at responding to any questions we may have had. Certainly recommend this spot.

Peaceful & Tranquil
We greatly enjoyed our stay. The listing was just as explained. My only complaint is that we didn't have more than two nights to stay at the beautiful cabin!
If you're looking for "off the beaten path", this is the place for you to relax and unwind.
Thank you, thank you, thank you :D

A Peaceful Family Getaway
My husband, 8 month old daughter, and I had a beautiful long weekend at this peaceful property. The cabin was comfortable and well stocked with items most VRBOs lack (spices, coffee, blankets, shampoo, etc), but the porches stole the show! We spent most all of our time lounging on either the screened porch on the cozy bed swing or on the water view front porch eating our meals. There were plenty of fans to keep it breezy and cool. We enjoyed walking around the park like lot and swimming from the dock. We had tons of wildlife including birds, squirrels, bunnies, dragonflies, butterflies, and even a family of deer! We only wish we had a boat also because this is the perfect rental to maximize a boat trip! It was a lovely stay!
