Back Your Boat Into Center Hill Lake From Our Home! Swim, Fish, Hunt, Relax!
We would love to share our beautiful home on Center Hill Lake with you and your family! It is very unique in that it is one of only a few homes on the lake located on the water. You can, literally, back your boat from the house right into the water. While spending the day out boating you can drop off anyone who needs a rest at the house and then pick them back up with ease. It is a 50 yard paved walk to the boat launch! The home is two levels. It has 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, but has beds for 10. The upstairs has a covered back porch for easy parking and handicap access. You can actually access both the upstairs of the home and the downstairs without using stairs if needed. The kitchen has modern appliances and is fully stocked with dishes, utensils and amenities, including microwave, blender, coffer maker, crock pot and griddle. There is a large dining room table and smaller side table if you need more seating. We now have internet with 250 Mbps WiFi if you need to connect remotely! The upstairs family room has a 50 inch HD TV and DVD player with DISH cable, including ESPN. There is plenty of seating for large groups and a selection of DVDs and board games for the family. There is spacious front porch that runs the length of the home and is accessed through two separate, beautiful sliding doors. There is a large amount of outdoor seating for watching all the wildlife and a large gas grill. On the lower level you can play games on the ping pong table or separate pool table, or watch games on the 50 inch HD TV in the downstairs family room! There is also a laundry room with washer and dryer. Have fun in the large front yard playing ball or picking apples from one of the 3 apple trees that bear fruit in mid to late summer. You can also enjoy a fire out under the stars and roasting smores in the fire pit near the house. There is also a canoe to carry down to the water to quietly explore the lake! We are located just 15 minutes from I-40 by car. It is just under an hour to Nashville International Airport and is a very easy drive. We are 15 minutes from the town of Cookeville, where Tennessee Tech is located. There is every restaurant you can imagine, along with movie theaters, bowling alley and roller skating in case you have a rainy day. We are less than 10 minutes by car from Cookeville Boat Dock Marina. By boat, we are less than 10 minutes from Hurricane Marina and are located right at the entrance to Mine Like Creek - famous for its wakeboarding and water skiing conditions. Whether you are just wanting to have a large place for several families to meet, a place right on the water with easy access for boating, a mile of walkable shoreline for exploring and fishing, or thousands of acres of adjacent US Corp of Engineers property for hunting, we think you will have a great time at our home!

Great location right on the lake! Very clean and checkin/out was easy. The perfect spot to stay on the lake and visit the great state parks all around the area.

Might have been the time of year, but it was nearly impossible to be outside without bug spray. Also, the road to the "beach" was in bad shape. The "beach" area was a heavily used launch for boats so the water was pretty polluted.
The house was awesome and super clean. Plenty of room for all of us to spread out and spend time together. The only complaint is the distance from the water and the boat ramp was pretty rough. Wasn't an issue for most of us but my Aunt had trouble getting down there and back up.
The house was very clean and close to so many beautiful state parks and the lake. The pros: very clean(except the fan in the bathroom needs to be cleaned), very responsive, everything works including the ice maker, pool table and ping pong table was great. The couches were comfortable too. The cons: the apple trees do not appear to bear fruit, a couple of the bed need to be replaced as the mattresses are broken down, the house is close to the lake but it is not an easy walk to and from the lake. Overall, it is a nice place to stay.
We had a great time! Short walk to lake access or you can drive and park. Can launch a boat there as well. Great swimming area. We floated in the cove all day. House was great! Quiet neighborhood. It was a great getaway with friends. Would definitely stay here again.
Easy access to the water, well stocked kitchen and nice amenities. Host is super responsive and the paperwork he sends ahead is a ton of information about the area and extremely helpful!!! I would love to return for sure!
We were in town for a weekend wedding. The house and proximity to the lake were awesome. This property is a little jem and was perfect for our family of 8.
Driving into the area was very apprehensive with some properties not very well taken care of however, when at the lake (which is a little walk) was beautiful. This house served our needs for a weekend.
Kids loved the game room below. Plenty of beds for the kids to select from. Loved the front porch. Owner great to communicate with. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

Comfortable
Owner is very nice and easy to talk to. The place was very nice convenient to launch the boat private and the beds were super comfortable !
Loved being off the main highway! The local hiking and lake access was amazing! Perfect to get 2 boys off their tech! Local movie theater for Grandma! Best family vacation!
The information sent ahead of time was extremely helpful in setting our expectations and answering our questions. The home was very clean and comfortable. We had a wonderful week. The location is fantastic and the lake is perfect. We very much enjoyed our week.

About the host
Hosted by Tim Myers
We are a family from middle Tennessee who fell in love with Center Hill Lake when we moved here in 2000.
Why they chose this property
We love how Center Hill Lake has such a pristine shoreline with no docks and it just feels like you are out on a "mountain lake", but we wanted the function of being able to just be able to put the boat right in the water from our place and not have to drive to a marina. It took years of looking, but this setup was worth it.
What makes this property unique
Nearby waterfalls with great hiking, location right on the water, two levels in the home to spread out and easy access to Cookeville and Nashville!
