Candy,
Thanks so much for taking the time to submit such a nice review. We are blessed to have wonderful guests like you visit!
Very comfortable and relaxing stay in a peaceful cabin by the creek. Kids loved the hot tub, fishing in the creek and making complimentary s’mores over the oversized fire pit.
It's nice and peaceful, plenty of shade trees, relaxing to sit on the porch and listen to the sounds of the river, and great for low-key tubing or wading in the river!
This was an excellent place to stay while visiting Dale Hollow Lake. Great communication and easy check in process. Close proximity to the lake with a fantastic view and ability to utilize the river right out the front door.
Very clean property in quiet surroundings, with river just yards from cabin! Owner was very responsive when we reached out to them. We enjoyed a great getaway and were only 15 minutes or so from the nearest Dale Hollow marina.
I would say this is probably the best place on Wolf River to stay. Communication was awesome. We had a great experience and plan to come back next summer. Highly recommend 👍👍
Our family had a wonderful stay. The cabin was perfect and supplied all the necessities and more. Outdoors was beautiful. We tubed & fished in the creek, made s’mores over the campfire and played with Frank, the sweer dog.
Thank you Jennifer for your hospitality.
Great location on the river! The location is what makes this property.
Watch out for the wasps though, they’re aggressive. Also remember it’s a dry county so plan accordingly.

Justin I am so glad you enjoyed your stay. I am sorry to here the wasp were bothersome. We have a pest control treatment once a month, but those wasp can sometimes come back quickly. In the future please let us know when you are experiencing an issue. and we can have them come out and treat during your stay to prevent any problems. Thanks!
Beautiful property. Plenty of parking for vehicles or boat trailers. Plenty of seating on the deck and by the fire pit. The beds were comfortable. Everyone who went on the trip loved the property and we would definitely stay there again. It’s only about 20 minutes from Sunset marina, but I would recommend renting dockage at the marina If you are bringing a boat. The road to and from the marina is pretty curvy.
Enjoyed the home and property. Kayaked a few time on river, fun while water was up! Dale Hollow Lake is a family favorite, spent most afternoons there. Unfortunately there for fire at Sunset Marina. People at marina were great and we were still able to rent pontoons. Good times!
We had a great time fishing/tubing in the creek next to the house. Spent a beautiful day on Dale Hollow Lake. You have to stop by the little ice cream/shaved ice shop just north of Sunset Marina. It is delicious! We had it a few times. My only issue(not really a problem, I knew before we confirmed the booking) is that you will be driving quite a way to anything besides the lake. We went to Pickett State Park and Big South Fork a couple of days and it's a good hour or hour and a half drive. We loved cooking breakfast on the flat top grill. I'm going to have to get my own! The kids loved S'mores at night by the fire pit, next to the creek.

Jason thanks for the review so glad you enjoyed your stay and we hope you will stay with us again in the future. There are a couple of nice hikes to a waterfall and cave that are closer than the places you visited so maybe you can check them out in the future. I have to agree with you Lakeside Sno is amazing!!!We always appreciate great guests like you.
This was an amazing cabin with a beautiful backyard! There is a river running through the backyard, my kids had the best time fishing and kayaking! The cabin has everything you need plus a lot of extras! It was very clean and you can tell the owners take great pride in their home and want to provide a great experience for their guests. We will definitely be coming back!
River made the entire stay worthwhile! The heavy rains the night we got there really got the river going which made it nice to float around on tubes(which we thoughtfully provided) And made for small rapids that the kids loved, along with the kayaks. However the rains brought a lot of humidity and bugs! Big bugs 🤪 bring the spray! The black stone was also great
It was a long weekend Friday -Mon a lot of rain prior to arriving and the river was high and a little rough, grandson’s went kayaking anyway and one of the kayak got away and went down river and grandson and girlfriend went to get it after a couple of hours of being gone, I elected to call had 911 nicest people to have around in an emergency. All ended well but a little more excitement than I was looking for on our first evening. The house was very nice and loved the s’mores display for us. The family spent Saturday riding the rapids over and over having a great time until rain came back. That night we made s’mores around the fire. We spent Sunday playing games due to the rain and still had a wonderful time! Great place and Jennifer is wonderful and very helpful.
Our family enjoyed this gorgeous cabin and magnificent location! The quick access to the lake (20 minute drive) was perfect for our family. We enjoyed the kayaks and tubes provided in the river the cabin sits on.
The BEST time you'll have right on the beautiful river!
This place has everything a family or a bunch of friends could want to unwind! Peaceful porch vibes, chill in a kayak/tube on the river, hunt for cool rocks, relax by the fire and explore the 5 acres - there's so much room for activities! There's plenty of space in the house with a fully stocked kitchen and a dining room table that makes you feel at home. The wifi is fantastic and the smart tv was also a fun blessing on the rainy nights! Traveler's tip - always bring some teenagers with you to haul all your groceries and gear up the steps! We will definitely be back soon!

About the host
Hosted by Jennifer Lancaster
Our family loves to spend time together enjoying the outdoors hiking, fishing, boating. My husband and I grew up going to Dale Hallow lake some of our fondest memories are of the time we spent there. We wanted to spend more time here with our family and friends and build those traditions together.
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with the property when we first saw it. It is so beautiful with its huge trees, natural wildlife and amazing location right on the river. Our family and friends have grown to love the place and we enjoy spending time here year around. My favorite thing to do is to sit on the porch in a rocking chair and listen to the peaceful sound of the river-it doesn’t get any better than that!!! In the spring, fall and winter we enjoy exploring the river and hiking in Big South Fork and other state natural areas . My son loves fishing on the river and Dale Hallow Lake. In the summer we love to spend the day on gorgeous Dale Hallow Lake. We hope everyone can come enjoy this beautiful area of Tennessee and make their own treasured memories.
What makes this property unique
Private peaceful setting to explore the Wolf River surrounded by nature
