About this property

Private Lake Access and 8 acres of Trails!

Silent Canoe features 5 bedrooms & 4.5 baths, including 3 king suites, a bunk room, and a private loft. There are lake views from nearly every room, a wrap-around covered porch, a covered dining porch, a game room, and a fire pit!

The home is on 8 acres, with cleared nature trails, including a .25 mile path to the lake!

One king bedroom with attached bath is on the main level and is accessible without going up any stairs. (There is one small step up onto the porch from the upper driveway.) There are 3 bedrooms and bathrooms on the 2nd floor and a 5th bedroom on the 3rd level. Along with one bedroom, the main level also includes the living and dining room, kitchen, half bath, laundry room, and one more private room that has a futon and a table for 4, which can serve as an office, extra dining space, game room, and/or can sleep one person.

There is also a ping pong table and arcade-style basketball in the garage level for extra fun, as well as a corn hole set.

The kitchen is well-equipped with cooking and dining ware, a 4-slice toaster, and a drip coffee maker. There is also a gas grill on the covered dining porch.

Less than 10 miles off the Baxter exit, 7.5 miles to Cookeville Boat Dock, and 25 minutes to Cookeville.

Notes:
Four-wheel drive is not required to get to the house, but good tires are. The driveway is gravel and fairly steep. RVs are not permitted.

Security camera disclosure: Two security cameras are located on the exterior of the home, facing away from the house. One is mounted on the wrap-around porch, facing the upper parking area. The other is mounted under the wrap-around porch, facing the lower parking area. Both cameras record when motion activated and are operational 24/7. There are no interior devices or cameras. Cameras may not be obstructed, moved, or turned off.

Be prepared to be fully surrounded by nature! This means all the wonderful views and sounds, but there are also bugs and critters who share the land.

Property trails are open through fall and winter, but please use extra caution as you walk over the leaves. They hide rocks and small holes and ditches.

Infants and toddlers are welcome in our home. Please note that the home is not baby-proofed though, and there are long flights of stairs both inside and outside.

This is a great house and setting on Center Hill Lake. Big and roomy with plenty of amenities. Great host- very responsive and proactive. This was our second time to hold a retreat here. Great spaces inside and out- decks, firepit, trail. Thanks Grant!

Early July Family Reunion

Our extended family of 10 all had a great time this past week. The trail down to the water is steep, but no problem to manage. We recommend tying a long rope to a tree to help less-mobile folks navigate

If I could give 10 stars I would! Pictures does not give this home justice. The view from every room is amazing!! The home is very clean and cozy. It accommodated our party well. This place will make you feel at home. Also, the beds are amazing and every room has its own bathroom. We will be planning another trip this summer to Center Lake and I sure hope this home is available!!

Lakehouse reunion

After spending many years gathering in the smoky mountains, this year, my family decided to gather at the lake. We rented a boat and spent the day on Center Hill Lake. It was absolutely beautiful in the fall. Colors were fantastic. The house is extremely secluded with not another property in sight. The view surrounds the property and large windows expose an incredible view and almost every room on first floor. The house is very clean and well appointed.

21st Birthday for my niece

Great time! House was as advertised. Beautiful views, very secluded and spacious. A little tricky initially arriving there at night but the directions were spot on. Read the owner's notes regarding the directions and you will be fine. 4 wheel drive IS NOT REQUIRED. Owner was responsive and easy to deal with. Would most definitely stay there again.

Incredibly Beautiful Setting

This was our second year at this location for a girls’ weekend trip and we had forgotten how incredibly beautiful the views are. It rained through the weekend and it was so peaceful and the view so striking we didn’t even miss getting out on the lake. The house is very clean, spacious, and comfortable. We loved our time there and look forward to going back.

A beautiful place to stay. Great house and wonderful views

This was a wonderful house with high end appliances and very comfortable beds! Wonderful kitchen! Fully stocked with everything you could need…. Just need your food and drinks of choice! Beautiful sitting and dining areas outside. Getting there the first time was a bit difficult ( single lane road; and address plaque no where to be found) but on the way out I wondered why I thought it was so difficult!! Ha! The host had actually given excellent detail instructions but I had been a bit intimidated by it all at first! But it’s very private and worth the effort!

Spectacular Lake Retreat

The house is as good as it looks in pictures. The house is well stocked for a comfortable stay. The rooms were big and beds were all very comfortable. We enjoyed meals on the porch and coffee each day on the wrap around porch. I would highly recommend this property for a group or family gathering. The communication was very clear and the owner was very prompt in answering any questions.

A great spot for a reunion!

We had a 'siblings and spouses' reunion and chose this house due to its size and location between different states. Initially there were to be 9 of us, but due to illness there were 7. Having 3 masters with baths and a bunkroom was perfect. The bedrooms were exceptionally large. We had all of our meals in the house and it worked out very well. The grill was just off the kitchen and we used it several times. There are plenty of kitchen essentials and we did not lack for anything (we did take some everyday items - foil, plastic wrap, oil, grill spray). The kitchen table and outside eating space were used by everyone for game night as well as meals!

Family Lake Trip

We rent a lot of homes and this was probably the cleanest of any home we have rented. The views are spectacular from the porch, and we thoroughly enjoyed swimming and kayaking in the cove, which we were able to get to from the trail to and from the house. Fantastic trip and would highly recommend this property.

Fantastic Stay!

This property is like staying at a cabin in the Smokey Mountains, but with a lake view to go along with it! I loved this place! The pictures don't do it justice. The drive into the property is adventurous, but it makes it a fun experience! I would definitely consider staying here again.

Beautiful home with amazing views!

The house was gorgeous and the views were amazing. Not giving 5 stars because listing says no 4 wheel drive needed. You really do need it. Getting out up the very steep hill was difficult for one of the ladies in a minivan. If it had been raining I dont think we could have made it out. This will prevent us from coming back next year unfortunately. Which is a shame,because everything else was perfect.
