Great walkable community. You literally can sit with your legs hanging off the back deck and fish. We have three more homes in this community. One across the street and two a few doors down. So it's great if you have a group of people as well! Let me know if you have any questions!

Perfect getaway

This place is awesome! My wife and I came down for the weekend to celebrate my birthday. The cabin is super clean and very cozy. The fishing is exceptional. I caught bass, bluegill, carp, and giant catfish! I highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to get away for a few days

Beautiful cabin on the water

The woodwork and decor were very well done. Everything was clean and ready for us. We were traveling and just stayed one night but it was a great location close to I75. The back deck goes right to the water so you could really fish off the deck. It was raining while we were there, but it was still beautiful. Thank you for your hospitality!

Beautiful home on the Lake

I’m not sure I ever heard from the actual owner or property manager as they seem to own many properties. I can say that Cassie, the housekeeper for the property, was wonderful! She let us know the home would be available for an early check-in and provided useful information throughout our stay. The cottage was absolutely beautiful and being on the small lake was heavenly! Just what my husband and I needed!In reference to negative reviews on the neighborhood, I found it to be exactly as the homeowners, property manager, Cassie, or whoever described this is a neighborhood of good, kind, country folks. It was refreshing!!!

Beautifully updated lakeside cottage.

Less than 10miles from downtown Dalton on a private lake Kathy. The inside of the property is amazing and the back deck/dock makes fishing easy and super convenient. I wish there was a paddle boat or canoe available for the guest, that would icing on the cake.

Beautiful Place

This is a great, peaceful place to stay on the lake. It is a cute 2 bedroom cottage / cabin. It was very clean and loved all the décor that the owners have in it. Would defiantly recommend it as a place to get away to.

Perfect quiet getaway!

This was a perfect way to end our honeymoon! We were close enough to explore Ruby Falls and Lookout Mountain, yet secluded enough for a few more days of peace and quiet.

Cozy Cottage nice Lakeside setting

We so enjoyed our stay at the Lakeside Cottage, very relaxing, cozy and the cottage has an easy and pleasant floor plan and lighting is great. Out side dock is delightful overlooking Lake Kathy. My Wife and I usually visit a couple cabins every year, some are huge and fancy but never have we had any better stay. The owners communicate extremely well and make Lakeside a wonderful stay.
