About this property

Dale Hollow Lake getaway tucked in the woods, one minute from the lake!

Little Bear Trap is the perfect home for your Dale Hollow Lake adventure. You'll be on the water quick; the home is less than 1 mile from Eagle Cove Marina's ramp and 9 minutes from Star Point. Dale Hollow has beautiful, clear water and is an excellent lake for wake boarding, water skiing, tubing, boating, and one of the best lakes in the country for fishing. The #1 and #2 national record smallmouth bass were both caught here at Dale Hollow. The hiking trails are some of the most beautiful and scenic in the nation.

Little Bear Trap features a large living room, 2 baths, a well stocked kitchen, and 3 bedrooms. Every room has a ceiling fan and the house is equipped with central air and heat. There is also plenty of room if you have air mattresses and we have 2 single cots that we can offer if you give us notice. The master bedroom has a king size bed, flat screen high definition television, dresser, and a private full bathroom. The American room has a queen size bed, a large dresser, a closet, and is decorated with rustic American charm. The Bear bedroom has a queen size bed, dresser, closet, and a sliding glass door leading out to the back deck. The American room and Bear bedroom share a bathroom located right off the living room. A washer and dryer are available for your use if needed.

The living room has a couch, loveseat, and a few chairs for lounging around. The large flat screen television has a great selection of high definition channels. We have a blueray/DVD player and over a 100 movies to pick from.

The kitchen is well stocked with service for at least 8 people. It features a stove/oven, microwave, fridge, toaster, coffee maker, pots, pans, knives, grilling utensils, plates, cups, mugs, silverware, dish towels, paper towels, and a few of the more used condiments.

Each bathroom is stocked with hand soap and toilet paper, but you should plan to bring your favorite toiletries and maybe a few towels.

The back deck is our favorite place! There is a porch swing, a large outdoor patio table that seats 6, a gas grill, a pitboss Kamado charcoal grill (ceramic egg), a few extra chairs, corn hole boards, stairs that lead down to the woods and a fire pit area with a few chairs for chilly nights. There's a tiny creek that leads down to the lake. It's a very steep drop behind the barn and fire pit area down to the creek bed.

We have a covered carport for your vehicle or boat. If you plan on fishing while you're here, there is a motion light to light up the parking area (for late nights and early mornings) and a power cord on the side of the carport to plug in your trickle charger.

The location of the home is Skyler Lane off of Eagle Cove Road, which is 2 minutes from Eagle Cove Marina but it is also around a 9 minute drive to Star Point Marina. Both Marinas offer boat rentals (fishing boat, ski boat, pontoon, jet ski, and canoe rental), boat slips and covered slips available.

Another great trip at this property!

This is our second time staying here. Great communication with the host and flexibility. Great location and well-furnished place! Car port and grills on the back deck with a great view of the woods make for nice evenings after a day of fishing. With any luck we'll be back next year!

Great property

We had 6 adults and two pups to celebrate my husband’s 60th birthday. The house was perfect for us. Loved the covered back porch - rained first night and we grilled and played games and enjoying listening to the rain. We were 5 mins from marina where we rented a pontoon boat multiple days. The host was wonderful and reached out - so friendly and easy to work with. We will be back!

Byrdstown

The house was very clean and having 2 bathrooms was a plus. Eagle Cove Marina is minutes away. Brandon texted all the information we needed for our stay. Check out was easy - sometimes there is a long list of things you’re supposed to do before you leave, not the case here. The road the house is on is very quiet. No traffic. There are a few restaurants in Byrdstown if you don’t want to cook. We enjoyed our 3 day stay!

Family Fun at the Lake

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Little Bear Trap! Having been cooped up in the house for months due to the recent pandemic, we were searching for a safe getaway space. The home was very clean and well-maintained and we felt very comfortable there. The home was stocked as well, if not better, than any place we've ever stayed. Plenty of things in the kitchen, including a variety of condiments and spices. Our family of five adults had plenty of room and enjoyed playing board games each night. The home had quite a few to choose from. Beds were comfortable and linens, beach towels, etc. were provided. Great location, less than 5 minutes to drive to the Eagle Cove Marina. We actually rented boat and a jet-ski from Sunset Marina, but the drive from this home was only about 10 to 15 fifteen minutes. The owner, Brandon, was easily reachable and able to answer any questions. We would definitely recommend this place to others.

Peaceful and relaxing stay.

I brought my dad, brother, sister and sister-in-law to Dale Hollow for several days. My dad grew up in the area and his family was evacuated when they created Dale Hollow. He wanted to try and find some of the places he remembered. We drove around the first day and then took a boat over some of the area where his family's houses stood. The last day he was able to find his grandfather's place which wasn't under water and few other places. The water wasn't clear enough to see anything below, but had a good time fishing and swimming. The house was perfect. He has trouble walking, so the ramp to the back porch was perfect! It was a short drive (1 min) to Eagle Cove where we rented a boat. We fixed dinner a couple of nights on the grill and sat on the porch. The house has three bedrooms and two bathrooms so there was plenty of room. We had the cutest hummingbirds visit! We had a wonderful time! I would highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Anna and Brandon Keith

Host profile image
A little about us- Our names are Anna & Brandon Keith. We live in Middletown, Ohio, just north of Cincinnati. I work for a health insurance company and Brandon works for MillerCoors brewery, brewing the BEST beer in the world! We met in 2012, began our fishing addiction in 2013, became fishing partners for life in 2015, and purchased our home away from home in 2017. We love anything outdoors, love to travel, and especially fish! (if you couldn't tell) We love to try new things and visit new places. We hope you enjoy our home as much as we do! It's definitely something that makes us happy!

Why they chose this property

Little Bear Trap is located very close to Dale Hollow Lake and less than 1 mile to Eagle Cove Marina. Boat slips are available at the marina, so you can leave your boat in the water or bring it back to the house. Boat rentals are also available at the marina, so if you're looking for a fishing boat, ski boat, canoe, or pontoon, they've got you covered! We have trails to hike, woods to explore, cards, board games, cornhole boards and bags, a nice porch swing, and plenty of space to relax and unwind.

What makes this property unique

Our favorite part of the house is waking up in the morning and drinking coffee on the back porch. Watching the birds and squirrels in the trees, the deer playing in the creek, still hoping for a bear sighting.
