About the host

Hosted by Traci Gibbs

Host profile image
We are northerners who moved south and love the water. Our dear friend Mary Ellen had a vacation home that she shared with folks and we vowed to carry her tradition & share this home with others. Sadly, she passed in 2012 before we bought this, but we named it her favorite phrase.

What makes this property unique

OBJ is a private home at the end of the road on a private cove only minutes from the open water and a short drive into Clarksville, proper. We have room for 12 people. Our property is beautifully set back on the lake with a lovely water view but has water access via a stone path. We offer use of kayaks and paddle board. Or just kick back in the hammock, have a nap in the screened porch or hang around the fire pit or on the deck overlooking the water and chat with family and friends.
