Host profile image
Bob and I live right next door to the bungalow. We purchased the bungalow for us to get away from our house. We love to say lets get out of the house for the weekend, go next door for a wonderful clean bungalow vacation. We can't do that anymore, because the bungalow is always booked. So we try to vacation at other VRBO owners vacation sites.

Why they chose this property

Located on the Bayou De Chein - Walnut Log Community, Reelfoot Lake Tn. and surrounded by wildlife. Enjoy the breath taking views of wildlife and the bald eagles of Reelfoot Lake. Fishing and duck hunting on the north end of Reelfoot Lake at the Upper Blue Basin.

What makes this property unique

Situated on The Bayou DeChein, a natural slough that leads to the upper blue basin. Located right next to a National Wildlife Refuge.

Wildlife at it's best. Sunset's 4 miles away from the observation deck at Grassy Island. Nothing but beautiful.
