About this property

Quaint cottage by the Lake

Enjoy this quaint cottage within walking distance of beautiful Dale Hollow Lake.

Although the cottage doesn’t offer a lake view, you’ll be extremely pleased with the convenient proximity to the Dale Hollow marina (at Cedar Hill) and its amenities. While here, take a trip back in time to 1955 and imagine the excitement within the fishing community when the Worlds Largest Smallmouth Bass was weighed in at the Cedar Hill marina.
The historical swinging bridge at Dale Hollow is within a 15 minute walking distance from the cottage. Here, you’ll find a swimming area along with picnic tables and grills. The Dale Hollow dam and Cedar Hill Marina are both within view of the swinging bridge which make the location a nice place to relax and “boat watch”!

Thinking about setting a new world record but forgot the boat? It’s not a problem. Several marinas are close by and are happy to accommodate you with one of their pontoon boat rentals. Feel free to contact me for details. We do recommend that you arrange the boat rental in advance of your arrival to secure availability.
If you’re looking for an awesome fishing experience, don’t hesitate to ask us about guide service. We work with a local guide who has years of experience on Dale Hollow and will be sure to make your trip unforgettable.

Amazing little place! We came to spend most of our time on the water, so it was great for us for dinner, breakfast, grilling, and just hanging out in the evenings! We would definitely stay again, and the hosts were super communicative through the whole process with any questions that we had! For the price of this little place versus one right on the water, we definitely would book this place again. Close to the recreation area for swimming and fishing, and close to the marina for boat rentals!

The hosts were fantastic at communicating with anything I asked. Absolutely no issues first entering and zero issues for my stay. AC / heat worked fine with all amenities you needed in the kitchen if needed. Although all I really needed was the refrigerator and mostly the Keurig as all I did was fish. Honestly you couldn't ask for anything else as this place fit my stay perfectly.

About the host

Hosted by K & E

Host profile image

We have 3 teenage daughters and love spending family time at Dale Hollow.

Why they chose this property

After selling our houseboat, we purchased the cottage in 2016 and spend lots of time enjoying the lake. Although it doesn’t have a lake view, it’s only a short walk to the water and a quaint little place for a relaxing getaway. We hope you find the same pleasure when you visit our area.
