About the host
Hosted by Karen Stone
As a Cookeville, Tennessee native, I grew up on Center Hill Lake. My fondest childhood memories are filled with camping, swimming and water skiing on this beautiful lake. It has long been a dream of mine to share my love of CHL with others. I want to help guests at Dogwood Overlook make long lasting memories of their own at CHL.
Why they chose this property
My family and I have rented properties and camped practically everywhere on the lake. When we saw the beautiful view from Dogwood Overlook and experienced the convenience of getting to the property, we were instantly sold on purchasing the cabin. Not every home with a water view on CHL is easy to get to. Dogwood Overlook checked all the boxes for us -- gorgeous view, easy access, neighborhood boat ramp, close to all the major attractions and of course, the cabin was cute as pie.
What makes this property unique
The view is spectacular in all seasons. Fall is especially stunning with the leaves changing and the peaceful lake below. The huge screened porch is the perfect setting for reading a book, playing a game, enjoying favorite shows or lounging and laughing with family and friends around the outdoor fireplace. Hands down, it's my favorite spot in the cabin. Even during the hottest part of the summer, the porch is comfortable with the two ceiling fans. The cabin is perfectly situated to provide just the right amount of shade throughout the day to keep the porch from becoming too hot to enjoy. And the screens keep the bugs at bay so that you can sit out there without the fear of mosquitoes attacking you.
