About the host
Hosted by Kristin Habel
We just went to Alaska to get my mom's 50th state! Over the years, we've had various types of lodging, visited friends & been welcomed into their homes. So hosting, I prepare & feel like we have friends coming to visit us! Except in East Tennessee, steeped in southern hospitality, we tend to call it company's coming over.
This house has been our family’s vacation home on Lake Chickamauga for more than 20 years! We welcome you as a family & not a business! Bonus: Getting a brand new kitchen in Spring 2024! It has been fun for guests who have been wowed, surprised & loved the quartz counters and new organization as much as we all do!!
Our aim is to prepare a 5-star place to allow you to make 5-star memories! We believe all of it begins with some 5-star preparation! Ask me anything to help get ready for your getaway! Then getting here & checking in’s a breeze!
All seasons on the lake are great for sharing our home with guests. Our situation is unique that we have two lake houses. Like a good Beach Read novel, I married the neighbor who bought the house next door:) We are able to live full time in “his” house and share our family’s home on VRBO while it’s not being used by my parents & friends❤️.
Please Note: We do enjoy our privacy when we are home from work as much as you do for your vacation getaway!! We are 100% contactless if you prefer! Super convenient for our guests is being just a text or call away if you need anything!! I follow your preference!!
Feel free to reach out to me with all your questions making it simple to plan your family’s relaxing getaway to Lake Chickamauga!
What makes this property unique
We are not just a rental. We’re a home that has hosted our family’s memory making for more than two decades. We tend to have most things here at the house that you have at home and 2 dishwashers, 2 refrigerators and 2 washers & dryers. Makes group gatherings here mlre enjoyable! As well as 3.5 bathrooms…so handy with a larger group!!
We live next door & will also gladly be contactless hosts if you prefer!! We aim to have most everything you need in place for a relaxing getaway to the lake, but if you have a question or need help with something, we are a text or phone call away.
I am a hairdresser in real life, but hosting gives us the pleasure to welcoming you to this special place!
The joy of being a place for age 2-92 with a plastic kitchen and little kids playhouse as proof! My 92yr old Poppaw woud stay here with us & we made a space even he could easily enjoy!
The backporch propane fire table’s so nice for those w limited latenight mobility. Enjoy a relaxing evening around the wood burning fire pit by the water’s edge! It’s great having a mainfloor outdoor area to more easily navigate & make a way for everyone to reconnect with the ones they love telling stories & seeing the stars.
