About this property
Quaint cottage by the Lake
Enjoy this quaint cottage within walking distance of beautiful Dale Hollow Lake.
Although the cottage doesn’t offer a lake view, you’ll be extremely pleased with the convenient proximity to the Dale Hollow marina (at Cedar Hill) and its amenities. While here, take a trip back in time to 1955 and imagine the excitement within the fishing community when the Worlds Largest Smallmouth Bass was weighed in at the Cedar Hill marina. The historical swinging bridge at Dale Hollow is within a 15 minute walking distance from the cottage. Here, you’ll find a swimming area along with picnic tables and grills. The Dale Hollow dam and Cedar Hill Marina are both within view of the swinging bridge which make the location a nice place to relax and “boat watch”!

Feel free to contact me for details. We do recommend that you arrange the boat rental in advance of your arrival to secure availability.

About the host
Hosted by K & E
We have 3 teenage daughters and love spending family time at Dale Hollow.
Why they chose this property
After selling our houseboat, we purchased the cottage in 2016 and spend lots of time enjoying the lake. Although it doesn’t have a lake view, it’s only a short walk to the water and a quaint little place for a relaxing getaway. We hope you find the same pleasure when you visit our area.
