Dale Hollow Lake getaway tucked in the woods, one minute from the lake!
Little Bear Trap is the perfect home for your Dale Hollow Lake adventure. You'll be on the water quick; the home is less than 1 mile from Eagle Cove Marina's ramp and 9 minutes from Star Point. Dale Hollow has beautiful, clear water and is an excellent lake for wake boarding, water skiing, tubing, boating, and one of the best lakes in the country for fishing. The #1 and #2 national record smallmouth bass were both caught here at Dale Hollow. The hiking trails are some of the most beautiful and scenic in the nation.
Little Bear Trap features a large living room, 2 baths, a well stocked kitchen, and 3 bedrooms. Every room has a ceiling fan and the house is equipped with central air and heat. There is also plenty of room if you have air mattresses and we have 2 single cots that we can offer if you give us notice. The master bedroom has a king size bed, flat screen high definition television, dresser, and a private full bathroom. The American room has a queen size bed, a large dresser, a closet, and is decorated with rustic American charm. The Bear bedroom has a queen size bed, dresser, closet, and a sliding glass door leading out to the back deck. The American room and Bear bedroom share a bathroom located right off the living room. A washer and dryer are available for your use if needed.
The living room has a couch, loveseat, and a few chairs for lounging around. The large flat screen television has a great selection of high definition channels. We have a blueray/DVD player and over a 100 movies to pick from.
The kitchen is well stocked with service for at least 8 people. It features a stove/oven, microwave, fridge, toaster, coffee maker, pots, pans, knives, grilling utensils, plates, cups, mugs, silverware, dish towels, paper towels, and a few of the more used condiments.
Each bathroom is stocked with hand soap and toilet paper, but you should plan to bring your favorite toiletries and maybe a few towels.
The back deck is our favorite place! There is a porch swing, a large outdoor patio table that seats 6, a gas grill, a pitboss Kamado charcoal grill (ceramic egg), a few extra chairs, corn hole boards, stairs that lead down to the woods and a fire pit area with a few chairs for chilly nights. There's a tiny creek that leads down to the lake. It's a very steep drop behind the barn and fire pit area down to the creek bed.
We have a covered carport for your vehicle or boat. If you plan on fishing while you're here, there is a motion light to light up the parking area (for late nights and early mornings) and a power cord on the side of the carport to plug in your trickle charger.
The location of the home is Skyler Lane off of Eagle Cove Road, which is 2 minutes from Eagle Cove Marina but it is also around a 9 minute drive to Star Point Marina. Both Marinas offer boat rentals (fishing boat, ski boat, pontoon, jet ski, and canoe rental), boat slips and covered slips available.

Our host was amazing. Brandon made himself available for any questions or issues we may have had. Property was very clean and had everything we needed. We will definitely stay again when we come down to look more at properties to retire in. Thank you Brandon.
Perfect house for our family! Very family friendly and comfy! So close to lake - perfect for boating and/or fishing!! Owners are the nicest and easiest people to work with.

Thank you so so much, Julie! We enjoyed talking with you and so happy you enjoyed our slice of heaven by the lake!! Can't wait to have you back again!
House was close to the marina with a nice setup for the boat. I needed to work from the house one day and internet was solid. The area is pretty remote - bring your supplies - but makes for amazing star gazing at night.

The location was great! Easy and quick access to the lake. Very quiet and peaceful in the evenings and mornings. The owners were very friendly and easy to communicate with. It had plenty of room for parking multiple trucks and a boat. We would definitely book this place again in the future!

Thanks so much, Tracy! Looking forward to having you all back for a family trip or another fishing trip! Keep us in mind around February-April when the big smallies are up shallow! It's a really fun time to fish Dale.
We loved little bear trap. Wooded and secluded, easy to find, clean. Very easy communication with Brandon!

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
Location was okay. Cleanliness was lacking. Dog hair on bath rugs, insulation in vents, dead centipedes on bedroom carpet . Carpet was stained and dirty looking. Window blind in kitchen was very dirty. Old furniture.
This was the second time we stayed at this property. The property is very clean and is stocked extremely well. Brandon and Anna are awesome owners. We always get a quick response to our questions. Highly recommend this property.

This property was fantastic! Great location to multiple marinas and state parks. Working with Brandon was seamless. Brandon responded immediately to all our questions. The house was the best stocked property that we have ever stayed. Highly recommend.

Thank you so much, Audrie! We've stayed at a lot of rental homes and we always forget a few things, so we try to include everything people forget often! We're happy you enjoyed it and we can't wait to have you back! I wish their was a place to share pics in the review because I know you all had some wonderful adventures!
Until next time,

A friend and I stayed for a fishing trip. Very convenient to have the car port. Nice lighting and a cord to charge the boat. Property was clean and well furnished. Made use of the grills and back deck each night. Great communication with the property manager. Would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone.

Thanks SO MUCH Jeremy! We loved having you all down! Looking forward to having you back for your next trip and more smallmouth bass!
This place was clean, so close to the marina, and had everything we needed at the house. The owner was the most responsive and helpful owner we have dealt with and would happily rent from him again.

Everything listed online about the property was the same upon our arrival. Great get away spot and close to the lake. Perfect for a short or long stay.
Deck is great for relaxing enjoying nature and watching the hummingbirds!

About the host
Hosted by Anna and Brandon Keith
A little about us- Our names are Anna & Brandon Keith. We live in Middletown, Ohio, just north of Cincinnati. I work for a health insurance company and Brandon works for MillerCoors brewery, brewing the BEST beer in the world! We met in 2012, began our fishing addiction in 2013, became fishing partners for life in 2015, and purchased our home away from home in 2017. We love anything outdoors, love to travel, and especially fish! (if you couldn't tell) We love to try new things and visit new places. We hope you enjoy our home as much as we do! It's definitely something that makes us happy!
Why they chose this property
Little Bear Trap is located very close to Dale Hollow Lake and less than 1 mile to Eagle Cove Marina. Boat slips are available at the marina, so you can leave your boat in the water or bring it back to the house. Boat rentals are also available at the marina, so if you're looking for a fishing boat, ski boat, canoe, or pontoon, they've got you covered! We have trails to hike, woods to explore, cards, board games, cornhole boards and bags, a nice porch swing, and plenty of space to relax and unwind.
What makes this property unique
Our favorite part of the house is waking up in the morning and drinking coffee on the back porch. Watching the birds and squirrels in the trees, the deer playing in the creek, still hoping for a bear sighting.
