Lake Life! 4 BR Waterfront Home on Neely Henry
Life on the water is a unique sensation: the views, the sounds, the sense of peace. Our home is a stylishly decorated and furnished 4 bedroom/3 bath escape right on the water with a boat launch, dock, charcoal BBQ grill and screened in porch. The interior has been stylishly updated and can accommodate up to 10 people. Two kayaks and two paddleboards can be rented upon request ($15 fee each for the duration of your stay). Get away from the stress and treat yourself to our serene lakeside retreat.
Other things to note: Kayak and paddleboard requests need to be made at least 7 days prior to stay. This allows enough time for our staff to prepare the equipment for your use. The water and ice maker does not work in the refrigerator. The cold water from the kitchen sink is filtered. Please bring ice with you if you need it. The boat slips are for owner use only. You are free to use the dock and boat launch area.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a Smart television is provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.

Absolutely loved our stay at this VRBO property! From the start, communication with the property owner was excellent—friendly, responsive, and helpful throughout. The house itself was spotless and had such a warm, welcoming feel—it truly felt like a home away from home. We especially enjoyed using the paddleboards and kayaks, which added a fun and adventurous touch to our lake getaway. Having a grill available was perfect for evenings spent outside by the water. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable stay on the lake. We’ll definitely be back!

Nice stay on the lake
Overall stay was nice. We made good use of the lake and the charcoal grill. Place was clean and nicely furnished. Had a couple of issues with a mouse in the basement and the circuit for the refrigerator going out, but the owner responded promptly to remedy. Can be tricky walking through the house with steps up and down but adjusted after a couple of days.

Beautiful home away from home !
Our family really enjoyed our time at this beautiful lake retreat ! The furnishings and decor were lovely and the beds / bedding super comfortable and every inch was so clean !! We had 3 of our 7 family members working from home part of the week and the space accommodated us well !! We had a minor issue with the heating control and the owner came over himself to check it land bought 2 new space heaters just in case we needed them . The views of the lake and sunset are gorgeous - great for family photos !
