We really enjoyed the stay. The area was quiet and peaceful. Massive yard for the dogs to run an play. The screen in porch was the perfect spot to watch football on a chilly fall afternoon.

My husband, 8 month old daughter, and I had a beautiful long weekend at this peaceful property. The cabin was comfortable and well stocked with items most VRBOs lack (spices, coffee, blankets, shampoo, etc), but the porches stole the show! We spent most all of our time lounging on either the screened porch on the cozy bed swing or on the water view front porch eating our meals. There were plenty of fans to keep it breezy and cool. We enjoyed walking around the park like lot and swimming from the dock. We had tons of wildlife including birds, squirrels, bunnies, dragonflies, butterflies, and even a family of deer! We only wish we had a boat also because this is the perfect rental to maximize a boat trip! It was a lovely stay!

My family stayed for three nights to fish Chikamauga lake and visit Chattanooga. The house is very clean, well equipped and the host was great with communication. For anyone bringing a boat, there is plenty of parking for multiple boats and Armstrong Ferry boat ramp is just down the road.

The home was even better than what was shown online. The decor was gorgeous. Super clean and everything seemed brand new. My favorite part was the screened porch with the hanging swing. I could have stayed there all day listening to the birds outside. Cabin had everthing we needed and the yard was beautiful. Our dog even got visited by the neighbor’s dogs and some other dogs from down the road. He had a blast.

This is our second time staying at the cabin. We have two large dogs and they absolutely love the property and the space to run. The cabin is always so cozy and comfy and we really enjoyed watching the leaves change since we don’t really get fall in Florida. The host was very quick at responding to any questions we may have had. Certainly recommend this spot.

Three brothers and two wives met at the Lake House for the Sand Hill Crane Festival in Birchwood. First, the festival was so interesting and fun and a must do if you like birds. Second, the cabin was fabulous! It was a cold weekend but the fireplace kept us cozy. The bedrooms were very comfortable; the kitchen was well-stocked with cookware and utensils; the view of the dock and lake were fabulous. We saw hundreds of sand hill cranes closer up than at the festival viewing site! It was too cold to enjoy the incredible patio and balcony, but, that would be awesome in the summer. Richard was easily available to answer questions. HIGHLY recommended for any season!

After getting over the realization that it was further from the town of Dayton, TN than what was listed on the website, we had a very good time. A large part of the reason I booked the cabin was that proximity to Dayton. Once we made the decision to stay, we had a very peaceful and relaxing time. Richard was very kind and helpful if we needed anything. I would stay there again and I would recommend it to others.

We saw hundreds of sand hill cranes closer up than at the festival viewing site! It was too cold to enjoy the incredible patio and balcony, but, that would be awesome in the summer. Richard was easily available to answer questions. HIGHLY recommended for any season!
Three brothers and two wives met at the Lake House for the Sand Hill Crane Festival in Birchwood. First, the festival was so interesting and fun and a must do if you like birds. Second, the cabin was fabulous! It was a cold weekend but the fireplace kept us cozy. The bedrooms were very comfortable; the kitchen was well-stocked with cookware and utensils; the view of the dock and lake were fabulous.

My husband, 8 month old daughter, and I had a beautiful long weekend at this peaceful property. The cabin was comfortable and well stocked with items most VRBOs lack (spices, coffee, blankets, shampoo, etc), but the porches stole the show! We spent most all of our time lounging on either the screened porch on the cozy bed swing or on the water view front porch eating our meals. There were plenty of fans to keep it breezy and cool. We enjoyed walking around the park like lot and swimming from the dock. We had tons of wildlife including birds, squirrels, bunnies, dragonflies, butterflies, and even a family of deer! We only wish we had a boat also because this is the perfect rental to maximize a boat trip! It was a lovely stay!

My wife, 2 daughters and grandson came up to watch our son play baseball in Dayton, TN. The cabin was nestled out in the woods along the river and had all the essentials and then some. Richard the host responded to all our needs very fast. We would definitely recommend the property and if we are ever in the area again we will stay in Richard’s cabin.

The home was even better than what was shown online. The decor was gorgeous. Super clean and everything seemed brand new. My favorite part was the screened porch with the hanging swing. I could have stayed there all day listening to the birds outside. Cabin had everthing we needed and the yard was beautiful. Our dog even got visited by the neighbor’s dogs and some other dogs from down the road. He had a blast.

Great fishing, convenient location. Only problem we had was a clogged sink in hallway bathroom and stove was dirty. Other than that we had a great time! Fished from the dock during the rain, still caught a few

I brought my husband and kids for a long weekend for Father’s Day. We were excited for relaxing and quality time with each other. Our expectations were far exceeded. We loved the use of kayaks and paddle boards. The outside was our favorite part. The cabin itself was immaculate with everything you will need for your stay. The host of this place is very responsive and knowledgeable!
