This was the best VRBO I have stayed in. My friend and I like to play board games with natural light and pretty views and this property delivered. The kitchen was extremely well equipped, the best I’ve ever rented. We hope to visit again this summer to utilize the dock and kayaks.

We had a wonderful weekend stay (me, husband, 3 kids aged 4-12, and dog). This is the CLEANEST rental we've ever stayed in. We wanted something simpler for fall break and this was perfect. No need to leave the house. I could honestly stay for a month! The lake view is gorgeous. The dock is sturdy and large. We spent a lot of time on the kayaks and paddleboards just enjoying life at a simpler pace. The hosts are so hospitable and kind!

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.

About the host

Hosted by Debbie & Rick

Host profile image
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!
