** 9.8-Star Lakefront Retreat: Private Dock, Pro-Angler Ready, Kayaks Included!

****Over 100 glowing 10/10-star reviews can't be wrong! ****
Escape to our peaceful, three-story, 3-bedroom, 2-bath lake house on a quiet cove of Lake Chickamauga. This is the perfect getaway for serious anglers, families seeking relaxation, and nature lovers alike.

**Angler’s & Boater's Paradise**
We cater to the fishing enthusiast! You'll appreciate the convenience that keeps guests returning year after year:

*Private Covered Dock: Tie up your boat steps from the door. Power is available right on the dock for charging batteries overnight.

*Pro-Angler Driveway: Our large, loop-around driveway allows for easy pull-through access. We have hosted up to six boats simultaneously, with ample grass parking for trailers and power hookups at the carport and garage exterior.

*Convenient Access: Just a 2-minute drive to Cotton Port Marina (fuel/restaurant/ramp) and 20-25 minutes to the main Dayton Boat Ramp.

**Unbeatable Views & Outdoor Living**

*Enjoy quiet mornings and spectacular sunsets from our multiple outdoor spaces:

*Huge Side Porch: A perfect private spot for grilling and sun tanning, equipped with a gas grill.

*Covered Rear Porch: Relax with a view of the water, mountains, and incredible sunsets. Outdoor ceiling fans keep you comfortable all day.

*Waterside Pad Table: Enjoy lunch by the water while watching the kids swim in the safe, peaceful cove.

*New Firepit Area: Gather around the large gravel pad with a firepit (cook on it!) for s'mores, hot cocoa, or a glass of wine under the stars.

**Comfortable Indoor Living & Amenities**

Our home is designed for comfort and connection, blending indoor and outdoor living seamlessly:

*Open Concept Design: The great room, kitchen island (seats 4), and dining area (table seats 6) ensures everyone is part of the conversation.

*Fully Equipped Kitchen: Brand-new, convenient, and ready for your catch of the day.

*High-Speed Connectivity: Stay connected (or stream your favorite shows) with high-speed fiber optic internet/WiFi.

*Unique Layout: A charming spiral staircase connects the three levels of living space, offering privacy and distinct gathering areas.

*Top Floor: Bedroom with 2 XL Twin Beds (new mattresses) and a balcony.

*Main Floor: Master bedroom and master bathroom with a large shower.

*Bottom Floor: Second living area/den with a big-screen TV, a Queen bedroom, and a full bathroom/laundry room combo.

**Explore the Lake**
Nature is at your doorstep. We provide complimentary kayaks for you to explore the cove, bird watch (including frequent eagle and osprey sightings), or paddle across to the nearby campground for a snack.
Want a unique adventure? Boat 20 minutes upriver to experience the lock system up to Watts Bar Lake (it's free!).

**Location & Local Attractions**
Though the area is peaceful, you are never far from conveniences. The towns of Dayton, Athens, Decatur, and Cleveland are nearby for groceries, dining, and shopping. For a bigger day trip, Chattanooga and Knoxville are both just an hour's drive away.

**Book your 5-star Lake Chickamauga experience today!

*******A Note on Water Levels & Security *******
The dock is typically dry from Oct 1 until mid-to-late April due to TVA seasonal water level adjustments (check historic levels online). For peace of mind, we have security cameras covering the driveway and rear yard when the house is unoccupied.

Great week

This was a terrific place to spend the week with my kids for spring break. Luckily the water came up around the dock and we caught lots of brim which is what we went for was to fish. It was a cute house layout was a little odd with the living room on the bottom floor but we didn’t have much time for tv anyway. The place was very nice and clean and in a great location!

We enjoyed our stay! The house was clean and furnished well. The dock was great. We took our boat and enjoyed fishing. It was very quiet and peaceful. The only issue was the WiFi was very slow. We plan on returning.

We absolutely loved the house. It was in a very quiet neighborhood with a view of the lake from the back deck. I’d love to rent it again but in the summer for our next trip when the water is up.

Perfect for a peaceful weekend

This was perfect for a quiet Mother’s Day weekend getaway. The house is located in a quiet cove and was very peaceful. There’s lots of sitting options to carry on conversations and build memories. We enjoyed the nice covered dock and even tried out the kayaks. Shortly after entering the water we discovered one of the kayaks was collecting water, that’s ok it made for one heck of a memory! This was a great location for grownups, I would worry about little kids with the spiral staircase. The property was clean and met our expectations. We appreciated the amenities. I would definitely book again when visiting the area.

Wonderful weekend

The property was very nice and the river was amazing. We hardly passed a boat and it was nice to not see a ton of houses lining the river bank just nature. There was a river otter that hung out with us around the dock and we saw 2 bald eagles. The kitchen was nicely equipped for me to cook 3 dinners and a breakfast. We would definitely recommend to friends and plan to stay again next year.

Dayton vacation

Our stay was nice, the volume on the tv would not turn up or down, at first. So we unplugged the tv and plugged it back in and it worked fine after that. The beds are comfy, but each bedroom is on a different floor, and there are 3 floors. We felt safe and no one bothered us. The lake was dry, but we didn't go there for that. Lovely home, would stay again. Tons of ladybugs inside he house.
