Thank you so much for staying with us Joe. I am glad you enjoyed the tournament and our little slice of Heaven. Please come and stay again soon.
Very nice property, lots of room for a large group/family. My only thought is there need to be a couple more baking sheets. Otherwise about anything you might need is in the kitchen.

We stayed for a family fishing trip and the place had all the amenities we needed. Convenient to the nearest lake boat ramp Traci was very accommodating and quick to respond with any needs we had. So much so we’re going to go back in the fall.

We loved this lake home! It had beautiful lake views and a couple of porches that were great to sit and enjoy your morning cup of coffee. We were here for our son's College Bassmaster's Tournament held on Bugg's Island. It was about a 15 minute drive to the boat ramp. Would definitely stay here again.

About the host
Hosted by Traci Gibbs
We are northerners who moved south and love the water. Our dear friend Mary Ellen had a vacation home that she shared with folks and we vowed to carry her tradition & share this home with others. Sadly, she passed in 2012 before we bought this, but we named it her favorite phrase.
What makes this property unique
OBJ is a private home at the end of the road on a private cove only minutes from the open water and a short drive into Clarksville, proper. We have room for 12 people. Our property is beautifully set back on the lake with a lovely water view but has water access via a stone path. We offer use of kayaks and paddle board. Or just kick back in the hammock, have a nap in the screened porch or hang around the fire pit or on the deck overlooking the water and chat with family and friends.
