About the host
Hosted by Jeremy Quarles
Hi! We are the Quarles. We love to spend time as a family, explore the outdoors, travel, and experience other cultures. We are both big readers and love history, which adds to our love of travel. We are also passionate about creating spaces that invite togetherness, rest, rejuvenation, and a sense of peace. We hope if you stay in one of our properties you will find this to be true!
Why they chose this property
We love visiting Center Hill Lake and the surrounding state parks! With so much to offer, you could explore this area for weeks at a time! Or if you don't have quite that much time, the close proximity to Nashville (right around an hour) makes this the perfect place for a quick getaway. The lake itself is nestled beautifully among the rolling hills of Tennessee. The water is clear and inviting, perfect for swimming, boating, fishing, or just lounging by the water.
The surrounding state parks are where the real adventure begins. Edgar Evins State Park is located just down the lake from the cottage. It's like stepping into a postcard with its lush forests, towering bluffs, and miles of hiking trails. Plus, there are plenty of spots for a picnic or a stroll along the lake shore.
If you're up for a short drive, don't miss out on Burgess Falls State Park. Here, you'll find some of the most breathtaking waterfalls in the state. The main attraction is Burgess Falls itself, a 136-foot cascade that will leave you speechless. There are also smaller falls and cascades scattered throughout the park, each one more beautiful than the last.
And let's not forget about Rock Island State Park. This place is a true hidden gem with its rugged terrain, scenic overlooks, and fascinating history. Be sure to check out the Great Falls, where you can watch the mighty Caney Fork River plunge 30 feet into the gorge below. It's a sight you won't soon forget.
Perhaps the best thing about Center Hill Lake and the surrounding state parks is the sense of peace they offer. There's something truly special about being surrounded by nature, far away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. So whether you're seeking adventure or simply a place to unwind, you'll find it all right here in this little corner of Tennessee. Welcome to paradise!

What makes this property unique
Newly renovated in 2024, the Hideaway Cottage has a rustic, vintage exterior combined with a tastefully designed interior. The cottage itself comfortably sleeps 10, making it the perfect place for a family, several families, or a group of friends to stay.
A few of our favorite amenities are:
- Each bed comes with luxury bedding by Peacock Alley, providing guests with a comfortable hotel feel in our woodland environment.
- Extra-fast fiber internet makes this a great place to get some work done away from the office.
- Our wraparound porch is a great place to enjoy the outdoors - fire up the grill or play cornhole on the side porch!
- The side porch also has a pair of Adirondack rocking chairs and a fire pit...the perfect place for an evening drink looking out over the mountains.
- Our large screened porch is the perfect place to lounge and enjoy the mountain views. Watch the sunrise over the mountains every morning!
- The screened porch also comes equipped with an outdoor dining setup - we eat almost every meal here!
- Enjoy the side yard equipped with a large seating area and fire pit
