Lakefront Oasis:Big Back Porch, Private Pool & Hot Tub! All on Lake Chickamauga
Reel in a relaxing waterfront retreat at this 4-bed, 3.5 bath Decatur vacation home. Nestled on the shore of the north end of Chickamauga Lake & the tail waters of Watts Bar Dam. Splash in the saltwater pool, treat yourself to an outdoor shower, or soak in the hottub for an unforgettable getaway! Everything’s here in our new custom kitchen! Make & enjoy family meals & game nights w/dining tables inside & out! The pool table & mini bar area is downstairs ready for family game nights or to provide those teenagers with their own private hideaway. Lounge on the back porch & take in the amazing sunset views!
The space
Our family’s vacation home for more than two decades, the house is equipped for fun for all ages. Prepared with families in mind, the long covered back porch is perfect for grilling out or gathering together. Table for 4 and seating area under the covered porch.
A children’s playhouse & picnic table is only 5 steps below the covered porch with gates & locks there to limit further access to the pool area for the little ones! Dining table for 6 with umbrella also on playhouse level.
In the front of the house, one step up onto a ramp from the driveway welcomes you home to the side porch hammock & propane fire table with cafe lights above it to make the perfect ending to a day at the lake. Unwind & build your own fire with wood in the stone firepit out in the backyard.
In the front you can enter from the carport with one step up into the main floor kitchen. Newly renovated kitchen has cherry cabinets and beautiful quartz countertops & backsplash. Open shelves to hold all of your supplies make moving in super easy! Full size GE refrigerator in kitchen with a second full size refrigerator next to dining area. Cook w convection oven/electric cooktop GE Profile stove & Microwave oven. Clean up with two Bosch dishwashers. Keurig that uses K-cups or ground coffee.
Dining area has table for 10-11 all open to the living area, as well. Three stools for seating at the new quartz kitchen island.
Main floor has bedroom one with queen bed, en suite shower bathroom & French doors opening to back porch and waterfront views.
Main floor bedroom two has queen bed and uses newly renovated main floor full bathroom two with dual sinks, quartz counters & combo bathtub/shower.
Workspace room off of dining area has large table to spread out everything you need to work from home. Discreetly in back of workspace room is the half bath and laundry area w stacked washer dryer. Second full size refrigerator also in this room.
Stairway leads from main floor hallway to lower level game room with pool table, minibar with fridge, microwave & bunk area with two twin over full bunk beds.
Lower level has bedroom three with king size bed. Door in hallway can be closed giving more private entrance into shared full size bathroom with shower. Hallway also is downstairs laundry area with top loader washer, dryer & utility sink.
Game room area with red pool table has French doors to open onto lower patio with the hottub & outdoor shower. Gates with locks limit access up to the swimming pool from backyard.
Walk into the private backyard from hottub/back patio area down to the wood burning fire pit with Adirondack chairs. Enjoy lawn games and your time outside on the level backyard.
Continue to walk your way down to the concrete dock area built right into the bank. Five concrete steps lead down from the backyard level to the concrete dock. Water levels rise & fall as determined by TVA’s discretion.
Five steps up to the deck from the backyard allow gated access to the 18x40 saltwater above ground pool. Three lounge chairs are by the pool as well as a bar height table & stools for four with umbrella. Outdoor/Beach towels have colors on them. Indoor bath towels are solid white. Pool is open may-September. Hottub is in use for your enjoyment year round.
Spectrum internet is available and provides television service. Verizon is the best cell phone carrier in this area. Central Heating and Airconditioning controlled by thermostat in kitchen area. Unique four digit code provided to access doorknob into carport door for contactless check in & check out.
This family house has been our vacation home for 20yrs and now we are grateful to live full time in the house next door. We go to work & when we come home, we value our privacy as much as you do your own privacy for a relaxing vacation! There is the benefit of knowing we are a phone call or text away should you need us, but we also are just as happy to be contactless/remote hosts should that be your preference!

About the host
Hosted by Kristin Habel

We just went to Alaska to get my mom's 50th state!
Over the years, we've had various types of lodging, visited friends & been welcomed into their homes. So hosting, I prepare & feel like we have friends coming to visit us! Except in East Tennessee, steeped in southern hospitality, we tend to call it company's coming over.
This house has been our family’s vacation home on Lake Chickamauga for more than 20 years! We welcome you as a family & not a business! Bonus: Getting a brand new kitchen in Spring 2024! It has been fun for guests who have been wowed, surprised & loved the quartz counters and new organization as much as we all do!!
Our aim is to prepare a 5-star place to allow you to make 5-star memories! We believe all of it begins with some 5-star preparation! Ask me anything to help get ready for your getaway! Then getting here & checking in’s a breeze!
All seasons on the lake are great for sharing our home with guests. Our situation is unique that we have two lake houses. Like a good Beach Read novel, I married the neighbor who bought the house next door:) We are able to live full time in “his” house and share our family’s home on VRBO while it’s not being used by my parents & friends❤️.
Please Note: We do enjoy our privacy when we are home from work as much as you do for your vacation getaway!! We are 100% contactless if you prefer! Super convenient for our guests is being just a text or call away if you need anything!! I follow your preference!!
Feel free to reach out to me with all your questions making it simple to plan your family’s relaxing getaway to Lake Chickamauga!

What makes this property unique
We are not just a rental. We’re a home that has hosted our family’s memory making for more than two decades. We tend to have most things here at the house that you have at home and 2 dishwashers, 2 refrigerators and 2 washers & dryers. Makes group gatherings here mlre enjoyable! As well as 3.5 bathrooms…so handy with a larger group!!
We live next door & will also gladly be contactless hosts if you prefer!! We aim to have most everything you need in place for a relaxing getaway to the lake, but if you have a question or need help with something, we are a text or phone call away.
I am a hairdresser in real life, but hosting gives us the pleasure to welcoming you to this special place!
The joy of being a place for age 2-92 with a plastic kitchen and little kids playhouse as proof! My 92yr old Poppaw woud stay here with us & we made a space even he could easily enjoy!
The backporch propane fire table’s so nice for those w limited latenight mobility. Enjoy a relaxing evening around the wood burning fire pit by the water’s edge! It’s great having a mainfloor outdoor area to more easily navigate & make a way for everyone to reconnect with the ones they love telling stories & seeing the stars.
