Mystic River Lodge is a cabin resort nestled in the heart of the Chickamauga Lake, offering access to fishing and swimming during the spring and summer months. Winter months offer fireside warmth, and beautiful winter views.

Pontoon boats can be rented from a local Marina for a memorable daytime adventure. Schedule your family reunion or corporate retreat today and come relax.

Please Note:

http://www.chickamaugalake.info/Level/
The Chickamauga Dam closes in order to prevent flooding issues throughout the state of Tennessee. This necessary closure results in decreased water levels in our area. From the months of mid-October through mid-March there may be little to no water in our deck area so boating and fishing will not be available during this time.

Our beloved breathtaking cabin resort features 6532 square feet of private heated living space, boasting an impressively detailed main cabin, pool cabin, sauna cabin, and three guests cabins as described below.

Our lodge was built in 2013 with American craftsmanship featuring stunning artisan beams, wood mantels and high attention to detail in every way. The spectacular details emanate all the love and thought put into our home. Our property is private and no one else lives or rents on the property.

Familia Rivera Weekend Trip
This cabin rental was perfect for a large family weekend getaway -- crew of 20! There was plenty of space in the cabin to do all sorts of family activities/games but also for everyone to kinda do their own thing when wanted. The pool was definitely our favorite part of the cabin--if you're wondering how big it is, we were all able to enjoy it simultaneously without it being crowded. If you have a family who likes to keep busy with activities without getting bored, but still relaxing this is the cabin for you!! We literally used every inch of this space -- every cabin, the bar area, the grills outside, the fire pit, the kitchen for sure, the arcade video game table, the sauna! the movie room was def a favorite as well, even the gym was used. Literally everything was used and thoroughly enjoyed. This cabin is literally perfect for every member of the family. Whenever we had any questions about the property, the managers and owners replied right away, they were so kind and so helpful - definitely made us feel very welcomed. The cabin was equipped for everything we needed to enjoy the weekend and whatever we needed walmart was a 5 min drive. Looking forward to booking during the summer so we can enjoy the lake area with the kayaks. Definitely a 10/10 recommend!!! :)

Great Place for a Reunion!
My college ROTC 1980s group gets together every November consisting of six couples all over 50 years old. We get together every November for a long weekend. We're always looking for a great property and definitely found it at Mystic River Lodge. It's a great property with meeting spaces and nice bedrooms. The amenities are all nice and modern. The location is great for hiking and many other activities. The owners are incredibly nice and responsive to needs. Definitely a keeper!!

Amazing River Lodge!
It was beyond beautiful. Perfect for large groups has a fully stocked kitchen had a big enough space for everyone to sit down and eat. Has multiple cabins which made it perfect for little families. Incredible indoor pool and hot tub. By far the best bar I’ve ever seen in a cabin. Large outdoor area. Had plenty of chairs for everyone to sit. Large walkout dock. Perfect for a day of floating or kayaking. It felt like we were in our own little world. It was private but still close to surrounding stores. Overall a great time! We will definitely be back in the future.

Beautiful & Relaxing Getaway
The property is beyond beautiful and has plenty of space. It was all around well stocked and the beds were all comfy! I saw a review beforehand and agree with it, pictures don’t do this property justice. The indoor pool was a lot of fun as well as floating on the lake and the bar area was a perfect way to end the night with pool and darts. Lots of fun memories were made here with friends and we hope to come back again with our family. Thank you so much!

Beautiful Resort
This is a large, beautiful property. The woodwork is extraordinary and much nicer than the photos in the listing. The separate cabins were used for our various ages from the teens, the 20s, and us adults in the main house. The cabins are extremely well done. Absolutely precious! I wish I had the blueprints and workers for the workmanship. Nice things you may not know from the listing: Lake is very quiet with few other boaters or houses. Every single room has its own thermostat/climate control! There was a lot of seating (which is rare in the last 10 years of large homes)…a lot of places say they host over 20 but then you show up and everyone can’t sit down or go to the dock at the same time. Here, we were happily accommodated. There is both a Kuerig and regular coffee pot, and both had starter amounts, so thoughtful! Excellent price for the size and especially quality. Kind and communicative host and manager. Lots to say but you get the idea: for a quiet retreat to accommodate a lot of folks together and privately, this is the answer; go ahead and book!

Yearly Family Gathering
This is the place to stay if you want to relax and enjoy your family. Everything about the house and cabins is beautiful! We enjoyed home cooked meals for our family which was easy with the fully stocked kitchen and unbelievable grill area. After dinner we gathered around the beautiful bar, the pool area or the fire pit watching the fish, the turtles, and birds enjoying each other’s company. We even had a movie night in the theater room which is amazing. I can’t wait to go back again!

Fantastic property for a large group!
It’s hard to envision this property until you see it in person. So much space for a large group to be comfortable! There are lots of bonus spaces in the bottom floor of the main building although we had wonderful weather all week and spent the majority of our time outside as the lakefront space is so nice. 8 minute drive to a good grocery store. Owner was great to work with.

Everything was so clean and comfortable and so so organized! We booked this property for a high school girls basketball team and their families. The girls didn’t want to leave!
