The accommodation and location was excellent. Can't beat sitting on the deck looking out on the lake. We had a great time and will be back.

What a wonderful experience!! The lakefront cabin is adorable, comfortable and exceptionally clean. Don and Dora are exceptional hosts! The cabin was thoughtfully appointed down to the smallest detail, including games, provisions for smores, light snacks and a fantastic coffee bar. Also available, were luxury toiletries, a sauna for two, and an expansive choice of entertainment options. The bed was comfortable, and close to Nashville. Thanks so very much for a fantastic stay.. I definitely will book again!!

Thank you, Andrew! We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay at the Cozy Cottage. Location really is everything—and we love that it’s quiet and peaceful, with beautiful river views and daily visits from the deer, yet still close enough to Nashville for a day of exploring. Waking up to the water and nature every morning truly is something special. We’d love to welcome you back anytime - maybe next time you can bring friends!

Beautiful property, great location!

My husband and I stayed at the Cozy Cottage for our honeymoon in August-September. We had a wonderful stay and felt right at home. The cottage had everything we needed and is in a great location. We brought our boat and kept it at the dock which was super convenient and we had a great time exploring Old Hickory Lake! We have been talking about staying here again. Definitely recommend!
