About this property

Montlake is a unique mountain lake formed millions of years ago. It is one of the very few natural lakes in Tennessee. Our Montlake Retreat is a very spacious home with about 20 acres of wooded grounds. There are trails around the lake, and there is a waterfall directly across the lake from the terrace. We are family-oriented, but also welcome special interest groups, such as rock climbers, sports teams, fishermen (up to three boats), weddings, reunions. etc.

Montlake has four bedrooms, four baths, living room, library, great room/dining room, kitchen, and laundry room. There are two fireplaces (library and great room) and a large deck above the terrace. It is a long, rambling house, so there is plenty of privacy for everyone. The master bath has a jetted tub and separate shower, as well as a large walk-in closet and bidet. The other three baths have toilets, sinks, and tub-showers. The laundry room has large capacity (front-loading) washer and dryer. The terrace overlooks the lake and is a pleasant place to bask in the sun or gather around a campfire. Added bonus for the kids: If you hike all the way around the lake, you are entitled to ring the antique bell!

The views at Montlake are beautiful.

Here's what our guests have to say:

'Our stay at Montlake was GREAT!!! Your home was so beautiful and comfortable. There was plenty of room for everyone (we had 9 in our group) to relax and do their own thing. The lake was breathtaking, we hiked around the lake, grilled, and enjoyed the sites. The waterfall was beautiful, it had just rained and it was falling very heavily. The location of your home was also great we were just about 20-25 minutes to all attractions, Rock City, Ruby Falls and Chattanooga Railroad Station. Thank you for letting us come to your lovely home. I highly recommend this home to anyone. Hope to stay again next year.' --Carol I.

'We have been recommending your house to friends and family!' --Fabienne V.

'Thank you for the use of your lovely home! We had a relaxed, companiable weekend with our friends. Oh--and the view of the lake is breathtaking! Thank you again; you have a lovely, lovely home.
--Linda and John D.

Montlake is a complete home and we rent to one family or group at a time. We absolutely do not permit subleasing or unscheduled events.

Lovely mountain top home

We had about six family members coming up for a wedding. This house had plenty of bedrooms and beds and bathrooms. It was too cold to sit out back but it has a beautiful view. We actually talked about coming back in the fall and stay in another weekend. Everything was wonderful!

Family Christmas

We traveled with two of our daughters and their families from Wisconsin to spend Christmas with one of our other daughters that lives near Chattenooga. It is an amazing home full of character and history. The drive up the mountain is beautiful. It had plenty of space for for everyone and plenty of room for our grandchildren to play. The kitchen was fully stocked and we were able to cook each night and share meals around the large dining table. We took walks around the lake and had fires on the patio. Thank you for having a wonderful place to make our Christmas memorable!

Warmth

The house was very attractive, interior and exterior. The warmth of the house and the warmth of the host were appreciated. We did not use a lot of things, like the TV, but there were opportunities for self-entertaining at all levels. We felt safe and secure. We felt that we could reach out at any time for any help we needed. The cleanliness was appreciated. This house seems to offer "anything to anyone" for any occasion. Made our stay very enjoyable.
