Dayton, Athens, Decatur, Cleveland are close by with restaurants, shopping, groceries and fuel, and Chattanooga and Knoxville are each an hours drive for attractions, concerts, historical locations, live music, etc.

I have installed one security camera covering the driveway and one covering the rear yard. This helps me to sleep at night when the house is unoccupied.

Hope you enjoy our home as much as we do.

Great week

This was a terrific place to spend the week with my kids for spring break. Luckily the water came up around the dock and we caught lots of brim which is what we went for was to fish. It was a cute house layout was a little odd with the living room on the bottom floor but we didn’t have much time for tv anyway. The place was very nice and clean and in a great location!

Our family had to change houses last minute due to cancellation of our other house. We were not disappointed with the change. House is very clean, property owner has wonderful communication with renters & the parking was big enough for both of our boats. Wonderful stay and highly recommend!

Son's wedding

I really enjoyed the stay, we were kept very busy with wedding festivities that we didn't get to try out the amenities. We will book again. The house was nicely decorated, clean and lots of books and games to keep you occupied if the weather is not ideal for being outside.

Last week's stay

Nice property great location on the lake Very quiet. Owner was great to work with. Only issue was the microwave did not work. We were not at the house much so it did not matter and they did have a toaster oven that got us by. I never reached out about the microwave, again it was not a big deal to us. I am confident they would have addressed and hopefully they can before the next guests. Would book again Thanks for the hospitality

Great stay!

We enjoyed our stay! The house was clean and furnished well. The dock was great. We took our boat and enjoyed fishing. It was very quiet and peaceful. The only issue was the WiFi was very slow. We plan on returning.

Great vacation spot

We visited from Florida for a family vacation. We really enjoyed our stay and the house was mostly accommodating of our needs. We loved having access to the water for kayaking and fishing, and we visited the Mayfield creamery during our stay. There are a few small accommodations that would ha e made our stay easier such as paper towels in the kitchen. We did struggle a bit with the spiral staircase and didn’t feel the upstairs railing was safe due to a gap in the rails (our 6 year old definitely could have fit through it). Overall, we had a great trip and we are pleased with our stay. Thank you!

Beautiful home ight on the lake

This was our second year in a row staying in this home! We own a boat, and it is fantastic to be able to leave your boat docked in the private, covered dock! We were able to leave all fishing gear on the boat without fear of someone tampering with it. The boat launch is conveniently locate, right across the cove. You can boat back to the house faster than you can drive back from the launch. The house is gorgeous and has a great view of the cove! There is plenty of cookware if you wish to eat in. Keith has several kayaks for use, and there are plenty of places you can fish from the kayak! I caught my pb from the kayak! Keith responds to any questions or concerns you have within minutes! I could tell he really wanted us to enjoy our stay! I would highly recommend this house to anyone who wants a nice house with beautiful scenery, especially if you like to fish and/or boat! Thanks Keith for being the perfect host to the perfect for us house!

Bachelor party boat weekend

That was an awesome house. I planned a bachelor party for my brother and we wanted a lake house with a dock and this was golden. It was a very cute house, and nice layout. We brought a boat and put in at one of the boat ramps that’s less than 5 mins from the house, then were able to park the trailer at the house. It is a little tight turning into and getting in the driveway as I had a 24’ trailer, but once in there is enough space to turn around and park. The cove is very shallow all the way in, my depth reeder was saying 5’-2’, so be careful, but the bottom is just mud and silt so it shouldn’t ruin a prop. Overall very good property and had everything we needed. Easy to communicate with hosts and they are very accommodating. Easy to find house.

Cute house on the river

We loved our stay. There was plenty of room for all of us to spread out & have our own space. We enjoyed the dock & took out some kayaks & paddled around. Unfortunately it rained at night so we were unable to have a fire pit. The place was spotless & the kitchen was fully stocked with all kinds of pots, pans , plates , etc. We hosted a dinner at night & we loved the indoor - outdoor kitchen / dining room combo right out to the deck. Out only " warning " is the staircase is a spiral so not really good for uner age 3 friendly. We were all adults so it was perfectly fine for us. If we came back to this area we would definitely rent from here again

About the host

Hosted by Keith Thornton

Host profile image
We wanted a place where the whole family could get together and everyone have something to do. I'm a contractor and my wife is a school teacher. During the remodeling of the home we fell in love with the area. Beautiful wildlife, friendly people and plenty to do in the area.

Why they chose this property

Wanted to be on the Tenn river. Hope one day to do the great loop (have to google it). Love being able to go to Chattanooga on the river. Boat ramp across the cove (3 min?). Love the dark nights and wonderful sunrises/sets.

What makes this property unique

The upper Chickamauga has less traffic and plenty of quite places to fish/ski. Tons of birds in the area. Recently spotted a bald eagle in the cove.

They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
