Are you also looking for a peaceful tranquil place to relax and DE-STRESS? "Ted and Sherry's Country Cottage" is the Perfect Getaway for you...right here in the foothills of Tennessee on the Cumberland Plateau, and just minutes away from Star Point Marina, Eagle Cove Marina and Sunset Marina on Dale Hallow Lake.
Experience nature at it's finest and all the comforts of home at our Country Cottage nestled on a mountain bluff in Star Point Village. We take pride in knowing that we have given you the best of both worlds in our home. A warm cozy cottage feeling on the inside, while on the outside, the rustic setting of a cabin in the woods.
While traveling the winding roads leading up to our cottage, enjoy the serene and peaceful atmosphere of the countryside. Relax on our wrap around deck in our porch rockers, taking in the beauty of the lush tranquil woods, occasional deer strolling by and other inquisitive wildlife. Enjoy a leisurely walk to Star Point Marina, located just half mile from the house on the Famous Dale Hollow Lake...one of the most pristine and scenic bodies of water in the Southeast.
There are many exciting things to see and do within close proximity of the cottage. Fishing and Boating enthusiasts alike come from all over the country to fish and enjoy the many available water sports on Dale Hallow Lake. Renting a Pontoon Boat and spending a lazy relaxing day on the lake is guaranteed a good time. Also, touring around town, shopping in quaint little gift and antique shops and dining at local restaurants is always very gratifying to visiting newcomers.
There are also many beautiful parks and campsites to experience as well as horse stables near by to enjoy a day of horseback riding, or play a round of golf on any of the several golf courses in the surrounding vicinity. If you want to venture out a bit, then travel 2 hours Southwest to The Grand City of Nashville and 2 hours Southeast to Knoxville and visit Gatlinburg and the Great Smoky Mountains, or just a few miles North will take you across the Kentucky boarder.

Dale Hollow Lake Cabin/Cottage Near Lake, Fish, Boating, Golf
Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose Byrdstown
My Husband Ted and I were looking into maybe retiring in a less populated area of the country. We decided to check out the state of Tennessee. Ted got on the computer and googled different areas of TN, preferably near a lake and found Dale Hollow Lake in North Central TN along the Kentucky border. We decided to take a trip out there and look around. We contacted a realtor in the area. By the way, our property managers Craig and Joanne Jordan are Realtors too. They would be glad to show you around.
Our first stop was Byrdstown TN to look at some homes in an area called Stair Point Village. The very first home that we looked at we fell in love with. Ted especially loved it because it was just 5 minutes from Dale Hollow Lake. We both loved the huge wrap around deck. We particularly loved the wooded surroundings with all the wildlife scurrying about...especially the deer. Love the deer!! We drove back home five days later to tell the family that we had just purchased a home in TN in beautiful Star Point Village near a gorgeous lake just a few minutes from the house. Their response "You're kidding right?" We assured them we weren't. They were thrilled!!! Still are. :)
