About this property

Reel Simple LAKEFRONT Cabin Close to Hiking Trails, The Caverns and OHV Park!

Reel Simple LAKEFRONT Cabin sits at the back of our property, right on the bank of Big Creek Lake, while offering mountain charm at its best. Tucked into a couple acres for you to explore, you will enjoy the peaceful calm of the area. You are invited to bring your fishing poles (with license), kayaks, boat (with electric motor only) and paddleboards to use on the lake. Big Creek Lake spans 74 acres for your enjoyment. I want to disclose that in the warm months of around May-September, there has been a large vegetation growth along the banks in the lake. Keep in mind that Big Creek Lake is a public water source so we cannot treat the vegetation with chemicals. If you plan to fish, kayak or swim in the lake, keep this in mind and plan accordingly.

The location of our cabin is perfect, it sits in the middle of Grundy County and is a short drive to the many trailheads of the South Cumberland State Parks, the Coalmont OHV Park, The Caverns, Sewanee and University of the South. Nashville is 1.5 hours away; Chattanooga is an hour and McMinnville and Manchester are both 35-minute drives. If you don't feel like exploring the area, you will enjoy the peaceful serenity of the cabin. At night, the area is perfect for stargazing.

Reel Simple LAKEFRONT Cabin is a 500 sq. ft. getaway. Small, yes, but let's face it, you're here to enjoy the outside! We offer what many of the other local choices don't - true privacy. If you choose not to see anyone during your stay, that is possible.

The cabin features a kitchen with a full-size propane stove, kitchen sink, microwave and full-size refrigerator. The kitchen is complete with everything you will need to cook meals during your stay. There is a small barrel-style table with four stools. The cozy living area has a futon, a chair and a Roku television so you can sign in to your streaming channel. A private bathroom with a shower, toilet and a small sink vanity, complete the downstairs. Upstairs is an open loft bedroom with a queen size bed. Make sure you check out the stairs that lead to the loft. If you have mobility problems - this will not be ideal for you. The front porch offers a swing and two Adirondak chairs for your relaxation. This is the perfect place to begin and end your day.

Our cabin has city water, central heating/air conditioning, high-speed internet and privacy. Unlike a lot of other properties in the area, you will NOT be near another rental. This cabin is the only rental we offer on our property for our guests to enjoy their stay in peace.

We have a fire pit near the pavilion and have provided wood. The wind that comes off the lake can be very strong. Under no circumstances can the fire pit be used during dry weather or high winds. Please do not leave fire unattended and make sure it is out completely before you retire for the evening.

A couple extras on the property include a large pavilion where you will find two grills. One is propane with a tank on site that we fill up for your use and the other is charcoal (you will have to provide your own charcoal). Grill utensils are provided in the cabin. A picnic table for you to enjoy your meals is also under the pavilion. There are two fans that can help with air flow, if needed.

We have a gravel turnaround near the cabin, so if you have a trailer to haul your offroad vehicle, you can easily maneuver around.

Pet Policy: Being dog lovers ourselves, we can't imagine taking a trip without our dogs. Feel free to bring yours to enjoy your visit to the cabin. We charge $20 per dog, per stay (sorry, limit of 2). PLEASE REACH OUT TO ME BEFORE BOOKING TO GET A QUOTE THAT INCLUDES THE PET FEE(S).

Special Note: The pasture and woods around the cabin will give you and your guests over two acres to explore. The land near the cabin is shared between your family and the main home. We will do our best not to interfere with your stay, but property maintenance still needs to be done. We try to mow between bookings, but the weather does not always cooperate with that plan :)

If you have any questions prior to booking, please reach out to me. I do my best to answer promptly. I look forward to hosting you on your next trip to beautiful Grundy County, Tennessee!

The cabin was beautiful and in a very quiet area. We loved being right on the lake and there were some great hiking trails nearby. It was a little tricky to find but the owner gave great instructions and pictures of where to go, it made finding it so much easier. Definitely would recommend staying here!

Beautiful property with a clean and cozy cabin. It was nice to be able to bring our dogs and have a private space to let them run. And the outdoor pavilion was a wonderful area to eat and take in the lake views!

My husband and son stayed the weekend to hunt on a lease near by. Let's just say the cabin topped the hunting trip. It was a super cozy cabin! My son thought it was the coolest thing ever! We will definitely be using them again for our hunting trips!

Our Cabin Stay Away from Home

We fished although we didn't catch anything, the view of the lake was so relaxing to look at, couldn't ask for better weather. Our dog loved swimming in it. We enjoyed evenings sitting on the porch listening to nature. We eat in cooking breakfast and dinner and ate our meals out on the porch. Also went on a mountain drive. Hope to return one day!

Reel Awesome Cabin!

My husband and I along with our frenchie stayed 5 nights and experienced the most peaceful and relaxing vacation we expected. The cabin was very clean and comfortable. The views of the lake were so beautiful to wake up to each morning. Check in/out was easy. Kimberly (the host) made sure we had everything we needed. We highly recommend staying here and we hope to visit again in the future. Thank you again Kimberly for being an exceptional host!

About the host

Hosted by Kimberly Kantack

Host profile image
Several years ago, I was living in Nashville and a trip to Grundy County changed that in the Fall of 2019. I started looking for a family home where we could offer a short-term rental property for others to enjoy in this beautiful area. I work from home and handle the daily maintenance and upkeep of our properties. I am usually nearby and can address any issues you may have in a timely manner.

Why they chose this property

This cabin is a hidden gem and what persuaded us to buy the property. It is semi-private with only a view of some nearby homes on the lake. It is centrally located in the middle of the county. You are close to all of the trailheads that the South Cumberland State Parks offer, the Coalmont OHV Park, Sewanee and University of the South. If you choose to just have a quiet stay at the cabin, you can recharge just sitting on the front porch relaxing and taking in the sights and sounds of the lake.

What makes this property unique

One word: private. With the location at the back of our property, we offer a private drive to the cabin.
We also have a turnaround near the cabin if you are hauling a trailer to enjoy the Coalmont OHV Park.
