Had a nice vacation with family at this property fishing off the dock and sitting on deck enjoying the lake view, griilling, and roasting marshmellows on firepit.
The property was very clean, the host quick to reply to communication. The grounds were very peaceful, could sit on the deck and watch my husband fish from the dock, read a good book, truly relax! Would definitely stay again!
Stayed here while visiting friends in the area. Wonderful place to sit and relax, enjoy the view and talk. Nice setup for a few couples, great outdoor relaxing areas.
This was a terrific place to spend the week with my kids for spring break. Luckily the water came up around the dock and we caught lots of brim which is what we went for was to fish. It was a cute house layout was a little odd with the living room on the bottom floor but we didn’t have much time for tv anyway. The place was very nice and clean and in a great location!
We enjoyed our stay! The house was clean and furnished well. The dock was great. We took our boat and enjoyed fishing. It was very quiet and peaceful. The only issue was the WiFi was very slow. We plan on returning.
We absolutely loved the house. It was in a very quiet neighborhood with a view of the lake from the back deck. I’d love to rent it again but in the summer for our next trip when the water is up.
We enjoyed our stay, and the weather was perfect. Everything was as advertised on the listing. The highlight of our trip was being able to kayak on the river each day. We would definitely recommend this home and plan on coming back again next year.
We loved the house...and the property..amazing...private cove...with covered dock and electricity for charging batteries.....super clean ...we loved it.
The property was very cozy, clean and quaint. The kitchen was well equipped. The only thing the could be better, is to have pillows that weren’t so flat
Our family had to change houses last minute due to cancellation of our other house. We were not disappointed with the change. House is very clean, property owner has wonderful communication with renters & the parking was big enough for both of our boats. Wonderful stay and highly recommend!
I really enjoyed the stay, we were kept very busy with wedding festivities that we didn't get to try out the amenities. We will book again. The house was nicely decorated, clean and lots of books and games to keep you occupied if the weather is not ideal for being outside.
Wonderful trip to Decatur, TN. My family and I had a great time at "A Piece of Paradise".
The house was clean and had everything we needed. We did a little fishing and went to Ruby Falls in Chattanooga. A big thanks to the property owner for letting us stay.
We would love to stay here again soon!!
"The Fletchers"
This house was perfect. Plenty of room foe what we needed. The hist was very responsive to any question. He even gave us up
dates as to when then power was going to be restored after a bad thunderstorm to be
The property was very nice and the river was amazing. We hardly passed a boat and it was nice to not see a ton of houses lining the river bank just nature. There was a river otter that hung out with us around the dock and we saw 2 bald eagles. The kitchen was nicely equipped for me to cook 3 dinners and a breakfast. We would definitely recommend to friends and plan to stay again next year.
This was perfect for a quiet Mother’s Day weekend getaway. The house is located in a quiet cove and was very peaceful. There’s lots of sitting options to carry on conversations and build memories. We enjoyed the nice covered dock and even tried out the kayaks. Shortly after entering the water we discovered one of the kayaks was collecting water, that’s ok it made for one heck of a memory! This was a great location for grownups, I would worry about little kids with the spiral staircase. The property was clean and met our expectations. We appreciated the amenities. I would definitely book again when visiting the area.
The lake house was beautifully remodeled and well appointed. The covered dock was perfect for our boat. Electricity was located at the dock to charge batteries and keep the boat dry and ready for the next day. There’s plenty of space for a truck and trailer and an extra car. the house had Wi-Fi and satellite television. The home was very clean and had a great kitchen for family meals. We had a great time!
Our stay was nice, the volume on the tv would not turn up or down, at first. So we unplugged the tv and plugged it back in and it worked fine after that. The beds are comfy, but each bedroom is on a different floor, and there are 3 floors. We felt safe and no one bothered us. The lake was dry, but we didn't go there for that. Lovely home, would stay again. Tons of ladybugs inside he house.
