The house and property are exceptional. I was primarily on the main floor as I was the one doing the cooking. Having entertainment for the younger crowd helped me a lot when I was finishing dinner. The neighbors are very friendly and helpful. Clarksville in general is a charming town.

Great family lake vacation

We had a wonderful stay at this lake front property. The house accommodated 3 generations of our family. The basement was perfect for the teenagers and kids. They enjoyed the ping pong and air hockey tables. We brought our boat and enjoyed so much time on the water, as well as floating, swimming and fishing from the dock. The communication from the owner was excellent and we highly recommend this vacation rental.

Week at Kerr Lake

Overall we had a good time during our week here. The weather was cool for August and we had some rain but we still spent a lot of time on the water. This is a very quiet part of the lake on a side creek. The dock was good for swimming and we had no issues mooring a 25 foot tritoon there. The interior of the house was more dated than we expected but things still worked and it was clean. There is a very nice new big screen TV. The outside of the home did not look as if it had been cleaned recently as there were lots of cobwebs. Matt was very responsive. There are three homes in the same field and the neighbors let their large dog run free. She was friendly but we still had to check before letting young children outside.

Family getaway

We stayed at this property for Lakefest. It's quiet, clean, and close to Clarksville. Loved the shady, private walk to the beach and all the amenities. Such a quiet cove for small children to swim and enjoy the water. Internet was spotty, but otherwise great stay!
