This property is so peaceful and the cabin is in the perfect place. The privacy is amazing and the hot tub is perfect. The chittering squirrels, butterflies, barn cats, and the fresh eggs made the stay even more blessed.

We live an hour away and this is our third stay over the years. This cabin has everything needed, very cozy bed, shower made for a tall person, just bring food. It’s truly peaceful and private and perfect for couples. Small quaint towns closest with state park and lake not far if you want to get out and explore. I appreciate being able to come back every few years and see how things have changed.

This was our second time staying here and once again we loved it. It’s such a peaceful cabin with everything you could ever want. The hot tub was the perfect night cap to long cold fishing days. We look forward to staying here again!

Great little cabin, perfect for two!

We had a nice, relaxing stay and enjoyed the hot tub. It was very quiet and tucked away from the city, but not too far out. We were provided treats and breakfast foods. And, the bed was so comfortable!

Why they chose this property

Near: Standing Stone State Park, Dale Hollow Lake, Cummins Falls State Park, the Cities of Celina, Gainesboro, and Livingston with a slightly further drive to Cookeville, TN.

We are a short drive to Mitchell Creek Marina, which rents some of the best pontoons on Dale Hollow, and Standing Stone State Park, where you can enjoy a swimming pool, tennis courts, hiking, and paddleboat rentals (for a nominal fee). Cummins Falls offers a great hike and stunning views (check their website prior to visiting).

We are approximately 25 minutes from the towns of Celina, Livingston and Gainesboro. We are about 45 minutes from Cookeville where Tennessee Tech University is located.

We are often on the property, but with 47 acres we will only be in your way if you choose to be :) You may run into us while you hike the property or if you prefer, you'll never see us. It's a get-away your way!

What makes this property unique

We are in a small, peaceful and secluded county. There are no interstates or major airports in our area. The Dale Hollow Lake area is truly a hidden secret and gem. Local TN folks knows just how beautiful the rolling hills and lake is. We are about 20 mins from the marina.


1. We do NOT have cable or satellite TV, only streaming services.
2. If you are using GPS, type the following address: 764 Hickory Lane, Hilham TN
3. It is always easier to arrive here in the daylight. Our country roads are dark at night.
4. You may want to bring groceries with you instead of getting here and then heading back out to the store (closest one is 25 minutes away and is not open late).
5. Cell service is limited in our area. Most providers are spotty.
6. You may lose GPS, so PLEASE PLEASE PRINT DIRECTIONS AND HAVE A HARD COPY WITH YOU.
7. We are smoke-free inside our cabins.
