About this property

Quaint cottage by the Lake

Enjoy this quaint cottage within walking distance of beautiful Dale Hollow Lake.

Although the cottage doesn’t offer a lake view, you’ll be extremely pleased with the convenient proximity to the Dale Hollow marina (at Cedar Hill) and its amenities. While here, take a trip back in time to 1955 and imagine the excitement within the fishing community when the Worlds Largest Smallmouth Bass was weighed in at the Cedar Hill marina.
The historical swinging bridge at Dale Hollow is within a 15 minute walking distance from the cottage. Here, you’ll find a swimming area along with picnic tables and grills. The Dale Hollow dam and Cedar Hill Marina are both within view of the swinging bridge which make the location a nice place to relax and “boat watch”!

Thinking about setting a new world record but forgot the boat? It’s not a problem. Several marinas are close by and are happy to accommodate you with one of their pontoon boat rentals. Feel free to contact me for details. We do recommend that you arrange the boat rental in advance of your arrival to secure availability.
If you’re looking for an awesome fishing experience, don’t hesitate to ask us about guide service. We work with a local guide who has years of experience on Dale Hollow and will be sure to make your trip unforgettable.

Short weekend girls trip

The cabin has plenty of space and was very clean. Lots of things you need for the kitchen were available. I loved all the pillows on the beds. The property manager was super nice, allowed a late check out, and was very easy to contact. This is my second time staying here and I'm sure we will be back

Labor Day Weekend

The house was close to the road, but had plenty of parking room and a nice deck, but several nails need to be fixed. Cozy place that had everything you needed. It's in the woods, and we saw 1 mouse, but you're in nature, still a clean place.

Great fisherman’s camp

This was a great place to stay for a fishing trip. Parking can be a bit challenging with 2 (20’+) boats but doable. Also had outside electrical outlets for charging batteries. We had everything we needed and were very pleased with the accommodations .

About the host

We have 3 teenage daughters and love spending family time at Dale Hollow.

Why they chose this property

After selling our houseboat, we purchased the cottage in 2016 and spend lots of time enjoying the lake. Although it doesn’t have a lake view, it’s only a short walk to the water and a quaint little place for a relaxing getaway. We hope you find the same pleasure when you visit our area.
