About this property

Back Your Boat Into Center Hill Lake From Our Home! Swim, Fish, Hunt, Relax!

We would love to share our beautiful home on Center Hill Lake with you and your family! It is very unique in that it is one of only a few homes on the lake located on the water. You can, literally, back your boat from the house right into the water. While spending the day out boating you can drop off anyone who needs a rest at the house and then pick them back up with ease. It is a 50 yard paved walk to the boat launch!
The home was completely renovated in March 2026 and is two levels. It has 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, but has beds for 10. The upstairs has a covered back porch for easy parking and handicap access. You can actually access both the upstairs of the home and the downstairs without using stairs if needed.
The kitchen is brand new in 2026 and is fully stocked with dishes, utensils and amenities, including microwave, blender, coffer maker, crock pot and griddle. There is a large dining room table and smaller side table if you need more seating.
We have internet with 500 Mbps WiFi if you need to connect remotely!
The upstairs family room has a 65 inch smart HDTV with DISH cable, including ESPN. There is plenty of seating for large groups!
There is spacious front porch that runs the length of the home and is accessed through two separate, beautiful sliding doors. There is a large amount of outdoor seating for watching all the wildlife and a large gas grill.
On the lower level you can play games on the ping pong table or separate pool table, or watch games on the 50 inch HD TV in the downstairs family room!
There is also a laundry room with washer and dryer.
Have fun in the large front yard playing ball or picking apples from one of the 3 apple trees that bear fruit in mid to late summer. You can also enjoy a fire out under the stars and roasting smores in the fire pit near the house. There is also a canoe to carry down to the water to quietly explore the lake!
We are located just 15 minutes from I-40 by car. It is just under an hour to Nashville International Airport and is a very easy drive. We are 15 minutes from the town of Cookeville, where Tennessee Tech is located. There is every restaurant you can imagine, along with movie theaters, bowling alley and roller skating in case you have a rainy day. We are less than 10 minutes by car from Cookeville Boat Dock Marina. By boat, we are less than 10 minutes from Hurricane Marina and are located right at the entrance to Mine Like Creek - famous for its wakeboarding and water skiing conditions.
Whether you are just wanting to have a large place for several families to meet, a place right on the water with easy access for boating, a mile of walkable shoreline for exploring and fishing, or thousands of acres of adjacent US Corp of Engineers property for hunting, we think you will have a great time at our home!
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

The house was nice and clean. The bedroom with bunk beds is in a loft with no privacy. Only 2 actual bedrooms with doors. Pool table is not level. Otherwise, we loved the property.

Beautiful house, but not a true Lake House. Can not see the water, and the road is horrible to drive down to the boat landing. Need all new pans for cooking as the Teflon is all scratched.Now the positive reasons to stay: so quiet, clean, clear water, lots of fun times playing ping pong,though need new padded paddles, great beds for my husband and myself and friends, big comfy, new sectional in LR, outside grill is also new, and kitchen is well supplied. We had 4 of us for 1 week.

The house was awesome and super clean. Plenty of room for all of us to spread out and spend time together. The only complaint is the distance from the water and the boat ramp was pretty rough. Wasn't an issue for most of us but my Aunt had trouble getting down there and back up.

The house was very clean and close to so many beautiful state parks and the lake. The pros: very clean(except the fan in the bathroom needs to be cleaned), very responsive, everything works including the ice maker, pool table and ping pong table was great. The couches were comfortable too. The cons: the apple trees do not appear to bear fruit, a couple of the bed need to be replaced as the mattresses are broken down, the house is close to the lake but it is not an easy walk to and from the lake. Overall, it is a nice place to stay.

Pleasant Thanksgiving Get-Away

Driving into the area was very apprehensive with some properties not very well taken care of however, when at the lake (which is a little walk) was beautiful. This house served our needs for a weekend.

About the host

Hosted by Tim Myers

Host profile image
We are a family from middle Tennessee who fell in love with Center Hill Lake when we moved here in 2000.

Why they chose this property

We love how Center Hill Lake has such a pristine shoreline with no docks and it just feels like you are out on a "mountain lake", but we wanted the function of being able to just be able to put the boat right in the water from our place and not have to drive to a marina. It took years of looking, but this setup was worth it.

What makes this property unique

Nearby waterfalls with great hiking, location right on the water, two levels in the home to spread out and easy access to Cookeville and Nashville!
