Escape to the Mountains &Lake 1 hr from Nashville!
Treat yourself to a "Retreat"! Musicians, Sportsman, Boaters, Newlyweds! I Enjoy the fresh air and the mountain lake views while grilling and sitting around fire. I love stargazing from the hot tub!! This is a perfect get away for everyone. We rent a pontoon at the marina often. The beach, park, hiking trails, marina and restaurant are nearby. My California King beds are a dream and the brand new kitchen has everything for entertaining. View Cordell Hull Lake" TN's best kept secret!" I love to stay here as well!

About the host
Hosted by Lisa McDonald
Hello Im Lisa. I've moved to Nashville from Atlanta in 2000. I've owned a tax consulting, preparation and representation firm since 1991. I downsized and moved into a condo in downtown Nashville one mile from my office about 1 1/2 years ago. My son says "Mom if I were you I would put your properties on VRBO". So here I am. I have 2 sons and 2 grand-babies that live close by. I work a lot so I'm not home as much as I would like to be so downtown is convenient. After my son introduced me to VRBO, I realized a lot of my neighbors and tax clients were precipitating in the program as well. It has been a great experience. It allows me to escape to mountains and Cordell Hull lake in Carthage and be on vacation in my own townhome in Hendersonville on Old Hickory Lake as well. I have hosted some amazing people and formed great friendships that will last a lifetime. VRBO has been a blessing to me. It is the best thing since sliced bread!
My motto is Seize the Day!! or die regretting what you missed.

Why they chose this property
I had a choice when I divorced. I could sell my dream property or I could remodel it and VRBO it. By choosing option 2 I can still enjoy it when it is not rented. I love love love this property. It is an Angel's View.
What makes this property unique
Perfect for Musicians, Sportsman, Boaters, Newlyweds! Not only do I enjoy the fresh air, mountain and lake views while relaxing around the fire; but I also love soaking in the hot tub while stargazing and enjoying the wildlife all around me. Renting a pontoon at the marina and capturing the picturesque mountains framing the beautiful lake makes for an unforgettable experience. Beaches, parks, hiking trails, marina and restaurants are nearby. Come and experience "Tennessee's best kept secret"!
