About this property

Waterfront Lake-house. Boathouse. 5 bed/4 bath, Pickwick Lake, Yellow Creek

Yellow Creek Lodge – Spacious Waterfront Retreat with Private Boathouse, Fire Pit & Room for the Whole Family

Yellow Creek Lodge is a private waterfront retreat tucked among the trees on Yellow Creek at Pickwick Lake. Set on more than three wooded acres, this five-bedroom, four-bath home combines the charm of a classic lake lodge with the comfort of modern updates, making it ideal for family vacations, fishing trips, golf weekends, reunions, and multi-generational gatherings.

The location is one of the property's greatest advantages. Guests enjoy a protected cove with an onsite double-enclosed boathouse while remaining just minutes from the open water of Pickwick Lake. Aqua Yacht Harbor Marina, Sportsman's One-Stop boat ramp, Grand Harbor Marina, restaurants, groceries, and fuel are all nearby, making it easy to spend more time on the water and less time driving.

Inside, the home is entirely on one level and designed for groups to gather comfortably. The vaulted great room features warm knotty pine walls, exposed beams, a stone fireplace, a pool table, a large HDTV, and plenty of seating for watching the game, playing cards, or relaxing after a day on the lake. A second living area adjoining the kitchen offers another fireplace, additional seating, and a separate television space so everyone can spread out and enjoy their own activities.

The fully remodeled kitchen is equipped for feeding the whole family. Quartz countertops, two full-size ovens, a gas range, a dishwasher, a beverage station, a Keurig, a traditional coffee maker, and ample cookware make meal preparation easy, whether you're cooking breakfast for the family or hosting a holiday dinner. Tankless water heaters ensure plenty of hot water even with a full house.

Sleeping accommodations are thoughtfully arranged for both privacy and flexibility. Three king suites each feature a private ensuite bathroom, while two additional bedrooms each contain two full-size beds and share a full bathroom. The layout comfortably accommodates families and groups while giving everyone their own space at the end of the day.

Step outside and you'll discover why guests return year after year. Enjoy morning coffee on the large shaded deck overlooking the wooded property and boathouse. Spend evenings around the rustic fire pit under the string lights while sharing stories and roasting marshmallows. Children can enjoy the swing set and open yard, while adults relax among the mature trees and peaceful surroundings.

Boaters and anglers will especially appreciate the private double-enclosed boathouse with electricity, lighting, and dock access. The protected cove provides calm water, and the home's paved parking area offers ample room for boat trailers and vehicles.

When you're ready to explore, Pickwick offers something for everyone. Play a round at Pickwick Landing State Park's championship golf course, visit nearby Shiloh National Military Park, explore museums in Savannah and Corinth, enjoy local restaurants, play disc golf, or cruise the lake and discover its many coves.

Yellow Creek Lodge is best suited for families and responsible groups seeking a relaxing lake getaway. The home is located in a residential neighborhood and welcomes guests who will enjoy the property respectfully while creating lasting memories with family and friends. No house parties, pets, or fireworks are permitted. Guests must be at least 30 years old to reserve the property.

Bring your boat, gather your favorite people, and experience one of Pickwick's most comfortable and convenient waterfront retreats.

Note: We always like to confirm YCL is a good fit for our guests. Before your reservation is confirmed, please expect a short email from us.

Cameras: There are three cameras on the property. Each one helps us to monitor the exterior areas for maintenance and safety. One camera faces the front driveway, a second faces the backyard, and a third faces the exterior of the boathouse.

We recently stayed at this property on Pickwick Lake for a combined guys’ trip and a hangout for my son and his friends, and it exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, it was clear this place was designed for making memories.The layout is absolutely perfect for groups. There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out comfortably, and the large entertainment area inside was a huge hit. Being able to relax, watch TV, and play pool all in the same space after a long day on the lake was exactly what we needed.Outside is where this place really shines. The back porch is fantastic for grilling and hanging out—we cooked pork chops one evening and just soaked in the atmosphere. The fire pit area quickly became our nightly gathering spot, where we spent hours talking, laughing, and just enjoying the moment.Down by the water, the boathouse setup was ideal. We rented a boat and had easy access to the lake, which made the whole experience seamless. The swings near the water were a big hit with the teenage boys—they spent a ton of time down there just having fun and being kids.Overall, this place delivered on every level: comfort, entertainment, and location. It created the perfect environment for bonding, relaxing, and making unforgettable memories. We had an incredible time and would absolutely come back.Five stars all the way.

Family Vacation at Pickwick

I would highly recommend this cabin. It was big enough for our whole family, 10 people and had a swing for the little ones. The kitchen and baths seem to be newly remodeled. The backyard is magically with the fire pit perfect for s'mores and catching fire flies. We also enjoyed the boathouse. This property truly has something for everyone. 10 out of 10!

Getaway with the Feel of Home

This was our 3rd stay at Yellow Creek Lodge. I will always choose this home whenever we visit Pickwick Lake. It is equipped with everything you would find in your own home and the spacious layout is all on one level. It is not a new, modern home; however, the kitchen and one of the bathrooms has been very tastefully remodeled. Lots of large windows provide beautiful views of the secluded, wooded property. The appeal of this home is its rustic features, spaciousness, and location. It also has a large deck which accommodates a large group and a fire pit below with adirondack chairs surrounding it!

Great location

This lake house is very nice. The kitchen is well stocked with about anything you might need to prepare a meal. The boat house accommodated both our boats with room to spare. Nice paved driveway going down to the boat dock for loading and unloading. We enjoyed the firepit and the wood is provided! There were 10 of us in our group and the cabin accommodated all of us very nicely. The owners were great to work with and answer you very quickly with any questions you might have. The location is great. Close to the boat ramp and close to the store for any last minute items you might need.

4/10-4/14 Stay

Beautiful property inside and out. Spacious and tucked away boathouse at the back of cove keeps rough waters from rocking stored boats. For fishing boats when stored in boathouse the electrical outlets are on a 60 minute timer so if out for a full day and batteries need a good charge you will have to go back down once or twice to activate but not a crazy hassle. Paved road down from house to the boathouse was very nice especially with any rainy days. Inside is spacious and very well laid out. I would recommend this place for anyone coming to fish or boat on Pickwick Lake.

Thanksgiving 2015 Guest

House is not fancy but very, very efficient for large groups. Our family felt at home with five bedrooms to sleep five different families. The fire pit was great for hotdog roast our first night. The kitchen worked well for breakfast and snack but I was thankful we had not planned to have our Thanksgiving meal there. Although there are two ovens, they are older and smaller. The house has been maintained well. VERY clean. I would recommend taking additional towels if you are staying for a week. If we were back in the area we would look to use again.
Response from VrboOwner on 3 April 2020
Thank you for taking time to write a review. I know others will find it helpful. Yes, the cabin/house was constructed in the 50's and still maintains some of the old Pickwick charm. We appreciate knowing where we should focus next with our updates. (We just installed new bedroom windows in September and prior to that, new black flooring in the main rooms.) The dishwasher and refrigerator are less than 3 years old. The GE SS double ovens were installed in the spring of 2008. The double ovens are 24” wide, which is narrower than the more common 27” wide double ovens. Thank you very much for complimenting the cleaning ladies! We think they are awesome too. We provide one set of towels for each of the 14 guests. If you want freshly cleaned towels during your stay, you can request a mid-week cleaning (there is a fee) or wash towels in the laundry room. Glad to hear you enjoyed the outdoor fire pit. YCL may be the only house at Pickwick that provides firewood. We hope your family made great memories together at YCL and you are able to return.

Large Family Fun

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this property near Shiloh National Park for a family reunion, and it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the charming surroundings and the plethora of activities available on-site. The property was perfect for our large group, with plenty of space for everyone to spread out and relax. The kids had a blast on the swing set, while the adults enjoyed the peacefulness of the nearby fishing spot. We spent our days fishing, laughing, and enjoying the beautiful outdoors. One of the highlights of our stay was the evening bonfire. Gathered around the fire, we roasted marshmallows, shared stories, and created lasting memories under the starlit sky. The grill was another fantastic feature, allowing us to cook up delicious meals and dine al fresco. The proximity to Shiloh National Park was a huge bonus. We took a day trip to explore the historic battlefield, which added an educational and enriching dimension to our reunion. Overall, this VRBO property was the perfect setting for our family reunion. The amenities, location, and overall ambiance made for a truly special and enjoyable stay. We can't wait to return!

About the host

Hosted by Sherrie

Host profile image
We are an active family who enjoy the outdoors. As our family grew, we realized the costs of travelling combined with limited time made it a challenge to get far from home. We opted to find a happy-lake cabin within an easy drive from our home.

Why they chose this property

We chose Yellow Creek Lodge because of the level (relative to others) lot, proximity to the water, enclosed double boathouse, 5 acres and the interior of the cabin has the charm of 'old Pickwick'. The level interior of the cabin along with the five bedrooms and four full baths give everyone easy access and plenty of space.

What makes this property unique

Vintage Pickwick. Enclosed double boathouse. Drive-able to the boathouse, but easier to walk. No steps or stairs inside the cabin. Screened and lighted grill house. 5 acres. Three swings. Outdoor, simple fire pit (wood provided). In the winter, the creek running along the property is great for floating boats or exploring. Less than 2 miles to groceries, restaurants, marinas and public boat ramp.
