Your very own Grand Tennessee Lakehouse on Dale Hollow is located on a two-acre lot in the Sherwood Shores neighborhood just outside Byrdstown, Tennessee and very near the mouth of the Obey River. It is as close to the water as private residences are allowed to be on Dale Hollow and will delight you with breathtaking views of the lake. The information provided here is but a fraction of what is available on the home and the Dale Hollow Lake Area. Click the link below taking you to a dedicated site for much more. Also, see the dedicated site for complete information regarding upgrades for the 2005, 2006, and 2007 seasons!
Construction was completed in 1999, and you will immediately relax when you experience the gentle sounds of nature in the surroundings. There is also something about the look and feel of the rustic western red cedar and crab orchard flagstone exterior that encourages one to kick back and unwind, particularly in this little corner of the world!
With your first step inside, you will understand this home was designed to be a permanent residence, not some ordinary rental property. We first greatly admired the home from the water with the large 2-story prow windows facing the lake. After purchasing and furnishing the home, we decided it was just too nice not to share with others.
We have been coming to Dale Hollow for years, and STILL continue to find more activities for adventure each year! Again, you simply must view our dedicated website linked below for a comprehensive rundown of things to do. The site continues to evolve with richness as we expand on new things we learn about and see in the area.
Configuration
Beginning Spring, 2007, there will be two available choices with regard to space. Guests can decide how much of the home is needed, and choose accordingly. Be certain to click on the link at the bottom of this listing to our dedicated website for more details about upgrades.
Base Option:
The Base Option will accommodate Sleeping arrangements for a comfortable thirteen consisting of a king size bed in the master suite on the main floor, three upstairs bedrooms; one with a king-sized bed; another with two twin beds, and a third with four twin beds. A full bathroom upstairs serve guests there. The great room on the main floor has a plush La-Z-Boy sectional sleeper sofa making a queen-size bed. Finally, there is a La-Z-Boy loveseat sleeper in the main floor great room. The bathroom off the MBR is quite spacious and has a Jacuzzi tub.
Plus Option:
The Plus Option includes everything in the Base Option, plus access to a fully finished walk-out lower level. Construction on the stone retaining wall and lower level build-out was completed in June, 2007. The lower level produced two more bedrooms, a full bath with incredible walk-in tile, stone & glass block dual head shower, a kitchenette, two gathering spaces, and a full blown office. This added sleeping accommodations for another six, bringing the total to nineteen.
You will enjoy many small amenities in this fine home, some of which were decisions made at the time of construction, like high quality Maytag appliances throughout including washer/dryer, and Kohler sink and bathroom fixtures. We also decided to go the extra mile with a home theater system in the great room on the main level complete with a 47" 1080 high definition LCD flat television. Yamaha audio components provide full surround sound for movies and DirecTV high definition sattalite service is provided. We have taken great care to create detailed operating instructions for all major components in the home.
We have furnished a permanently mounted marine radio inside the house between the great room and the kitchen. It has delighted us with being able to stay in contact while out on the water. The marine radio is also helpful for getting up to date weather broadcasts from the National Weather Service.
Since we are on the topic of communications, we should mention there is a landline telephone inside the house, although we did have to think twice on this one! Also, wireless broadband is available to guests!
Weekly housekeeping service is included as well as garbage pickup a couple times weekly. Note: The Lakehouse is fine for infants and well-behaved school-age children, but not for toddlers, who could easily hurt themselves bumping into sharp table edges or climbing up stairs. We simply haven’t done the things necessary to make the place truly “toddler-friendly.”
The property is locally managed by Rhonda Elder Real Estate. Contact Rhonda at the e-mail link below to confirm availability and for any other information she can help with regarding your plans. We suggest you reserve the home well in advance. Please reference the "Rice Retreat."

Three Couples really enjoyed the solitude of the area and the lovely home. The setting and the view is marvelous. We explored the area a little, but mostly enjoyed the quiet. The weather did not cooperate for us to get a pontoon boat, but that's ok. We enjoyed the grill and had steaks one evening (I have one like it at home). Also enjoyed the fireplace. Charlie & Brenda Roush Meredith & Carol Lee Steve & Mary McConnell
