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.

Everything was great, communication was outstanding! Cabin was very nice and clean. AC worked great! We had a wonderful stay and look forward to another visit in the future.
The hosts were fantastic at communicating with anything I asked. Absolutely no issues first entering and zero issues for my stay. AC / heat worked fine with all amenities you needed in the kitchen if needed. Although all I really needed was the refrigerator and mostly the Keurig as all I did was fish. Honestly you couldn't ask for anything else as this place fit my stay perfectly.
Kevin was great to work with. The home and accommodations were exactly as described. When we return to the area we will definitely consider this home for our accommodations.
House was very clean with everything we needed. Only stayed one night to attend a family reunion, but looked like area had several good water access spots to the lake.
Communication was excellent with the hosts and they were willing to accomidate our families needs. The house was as advertised and very clean. The location is in such a beautiful area, so close to swinging bridge and swim area. I would definitely choose to stay at any of this hosts properties in the future.
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.
