About the host

Hosted by Anne

Host profile image
We are Kyle & Anne Marie Smith. Since January of 2020, we have been the owners of our own property management company that serves the greater Dayton, TN area. Although we are new to the short-term rental (STR) space, we pride ourselves on our customer service and the quality of our property management. So, when it came to starting a short-term rental it felt like a natural step, especially when it could be a family affair.

It's hard to imagine, but this 80-year-old home looked nothing like it does now! We took on this house with an old-meets-new charm and changed many of the unsafe and out-of-date style and safety features while still trying to keep a lot of the original charm of the property (the baseboards, doors, tub, and tongue-and-groove). My mom and I made all the design decisions while my dad and Kyle tackled construction (along with the help of other licensed professionals).

We made so many memories working on this home to make it perfect for you, and we hope you make just as many memories during your stay!

Why they chose this property

If you are looking for something that is historic with all the charm of an older home but has the safety and conveniences of a newer build, then Bryan Hill Cottage is the place for you! Featuring 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, which can sleep up to 8 with the sleeper sofa, this house is a perfect fit for your whole family.

The brand-new kitchen with the tongue-and-groove walls gives a charming blend of old and new. The dining room is spacious and a wonderful area for gathering together for meals or game nights.

Having rocking chairs on the covered front porch provides a great location for your morning coffee, while the backyard is a fun space for all ages to play or enjoy a nice fire.

Only minutes from Chickamauga Lake and historic downtown Dayton, this house features something perfect for everyone.

What makes this property unique

While there are many unique features to this home such as the original tongue-and-groove planks and 80-year-old doors, one thing that makes this house a little more unique and fun is the vintage game console in the living room. This console features dozens of nostalgic games like Pac Man and Tetris that helps to make this an enjoyable experience for all ages.

Being very close to Downtown Dayton and only a 4-minute walk away from Chickamauga Lake, this home is not one you want to pass up!
