Private 5-Acre Retreat, Panoramic Dale Hollow Lake View, Sleeps 10
Perched on the highest point of a private 5-acre lot sloping down toward the water, this Dale Hollow Lake retreat offers sweeping lake views from the screened porch, living room, and master suite — and the space and privacy that's nearly impossible to find on the lake.
Three bedrooms and three private bathrooms sleep up to 10 guests comfortably. One bedroom is configured with a queen plus two twins, giving families and mixed groups the flexibility they need. The open living, dining, and kitchen area is designed for gathering — whether that's a post-fishing debrief or a quiet evening watching the lake from the porch.
A screened porch and a second lake-view porch give you two distinct outdoor spaces to start your morning or wind down your evening. Wooded acreage surrounds the property on all sides, keeping things quiet and genuinely private. For guests who don't leave their fitness routine at home, the property includes a dedicated home gym with a Peloton, rowing machine, TRX, lat pulldown, barbells, workout bench, and mat — a rare find in a vacation rental.
Eagle Cove and Star Point Marinas are just minutes away for boat rentals, fuel, fishing supplies, and tournament registration. Dale Hollow is world-renowned for its clear water and smallmouth bass fishing, and this property puts you in the heart of it. Byrdstown is nearby for groceries, restaurants, and essentials.
Pet friendly. Fire pit. Sleeps 10.

Dustin and his crew were great guests. He let me know his plans along the way and they left the house the way better than they found it. He and his group are welcome back any time.
The location was peaceful and beautiful. Check-in was easy, and Craig was very accommodating and easy to communicate with. We really enjoyed our time and would definitely stay again.

Thanks Jessica. You were ideal guests. Communications was easy, you cleaned up after yourselves, and you left the house in the same condition as when you arrived. Much appreciated!
This property was clean, great views, plenty of room for our whole crew. Communications with the host were great! Two thumbs way up!

About the host
Hosted by Craig Richardson
I'm a real estate professional based at Dale Hollow Lake who discovered this property and fell in love with it — the elevation, the views, the quiet. I spend most of my time here when it's not rented, and know the lake, the marinas, and the surrounding area well. When I'm not working, I'm relaxing on the porch or in theh home gym. I take care of this property the way I'd want my own vacation home cared for, and I'm always available if guests need anything.
Why they chose this property
Dale Hollow is one of the most underrated lakes in the Southeast — crystal clear water, world-class smallmouth bass fishing, and a shoreline that's stayed largely undeveloped because the Army Corps owns it. Pickett County is genuinely quiet. No tourist traps, no overcrowding. Just the lake, the woods, and some of the best fishing in the country.
What makes this property unique
Five private acres on the highest point above the lake, with views from the porch, living room, and master suite. Three full bathrooms for 10 guests. A fully equipped home gym with a Peloton. Two outdoor porches and a fire pit. Most Dale Hollow rentals are closer to the water but surrounded by neighbors. This one gives you space.
