Always perfect

This is our 3rd year in a row and we’re never disappointed. The place is so cozy and well kept and lacks for nothing to enjoy your stay. We feel at home everyone we’re here. We were here for a volleyball tournament but our daughter is a senior so we will not be back for that anymore but have grown so fond of this place that we will probably be back to just relax and enjoy.

Quiet restful and just perfect

We first stayed here last summer and were delighted to return for a quiet week of kayaking, swimming, and enjoying all the wildlife. This is the perfect place to unplug for a few days and enjoy time with family. Rick and Debbie are excellent hosts anticipating every need. House is a delight well equipped, cozy and comfortable.

Great Stay

The property was just as advertised. Communication with the owners/managers was excellent - they responded to any questions immediately. Place was clean, and even filled with extra touches to make the stay great. We had fun on the water, found a neat hike close by, the outdoor space was great, and had an overall fantastic experience.

Awesome week at the bungalow

This is our second stay at the bungalow in the last year. The home is extremely clean and well stocked with amenities. The hosts, Rick and Debbie, are top notch! Our favorite parts of our stay were fishing, kayaking, dinner on the back deck at sunset, and we were able to go to the Moo festival in Athens. Highly recommend, can’t wait for another visit.

Seasonal

Was probably the cleanest place we've ever stayed at, which was a huge plus. Our pet was openly welcomed which was great! House and beds were comfortable. The only negative thing I could say,is, if you want to fiish in November, check lake levels 1st.

Like home away from home

We stayed here last year during our daughters volleyball tournament and the place was absolutely beautiful, clean and felt like being at home. The owners were super friendly and accommodating. We loved it so much that it was not even up for discussion where we were staying this year. Once again every thing was perfect. If you want a beautiful lake front place, in a quiet neighborhood with everything you could want at your finger tips then this is your place.

July vacation

This property was just what we were looking for. It is clean and well equipped. Has amazing views of the lake and the boat dock is so peaceful and relaxing. We especially enjoyed the kayaking; the launch pad made it really easy to enter the lake. We found some good hiking not too far away. Also grateful for dogs being allowed, they loved it. The host are very attentive and accommodating.

Simply the Best

This is hands down the best place we have ever stayed for vacation. We have never seen a more clean and beautifully designed rental property. The owners went to great lengths to make everything perfect for us….from the unlocking of the property on our stormy arrival so we wouldn’t be stuck in the rain, to the basket of goodies on the kitchen counter with a sweet card, to the bikes and helmets that had been left for us at my special request. Everything is in perfect condition and so thoughtfully organized. Thank you so much Rick and Debbie for making our vacation so wonderful.

Enjoyable vacation

We really enjoyed our vacation here. The bungalow is very nice & super clean. They had games, fire pit, etc. . They put a personalized card & snack basket out for you. I thought that was very thoughtful & considerable. We also did a lot of fishing, we took our boat, they have a nice covered dock. I would recommend this place to anybody that wants to get away & be on the lake, very nice owner’s of the property, they make sure you have everything you need for your vacation. Looking forward to going back. Thank you.

About the host

Hosted by Debbie & Rick

After retiring from a lifelong construction business, we felt like we still wanted to dig into some great remodeling projects. So, we looked for someplace we could really put some sweat equity into and let our creativity fly! We enjoy time at the lake boating, swimming, kayaking, hanging out with friends and family and our German Shepherd dogs, and a great glass of wine while watching the sunsets!

Why they chose this property

This is a beautiful piece of land with wonderful lake access. We love the trees and yard out front, but the area near the water's edge is amazing year round. It feels remote, but not too far out.

What makes this property unique

It's close to Dayton, Athens, Cleveland 20 - 30 minutes, plus within an hour we can be in Chattanooga or Knoxville. Tons of hiking, shopping, restaurants, historical sites, etc. We love the relaxed feel of life by the water!
