The Hideaway Cottage is a peaceful, beautifully designed mountain retreat nestled on the shores of Center Hill Lake. Intentionally designed with the family in mind!
This charming cottage offers the perfect blend of vintage charm, beautiful details, and all the comforts of a truly restful getaway. Step inside to discover a cozy retreat adorned with tasteful decor and inviting furnishings, creating an ambiance of relaxation from the moment you arrive. Intentionally designed with the family in mind.
The Hideaway Cottage was renovated in 2024 and features three beautifully appointed bedrooms, a cozy loft with two twin beds, and a bunk space. The house is ideal for accommodating up to ten guests. Every bed is outfitted with luxury linens which give the feeling of a hotel but with all of the warmth and coziness of a cabin in the woods. Every sleeping space is designed to be a restful sanctuary after a day exploring the surrounding natural wonders.
For those seeking outdoor adventure, The Hideaway Cottage provides easy access to recreational activities. From hiking and fishing to boating and swimming, Center Hill Lake and the surrounding area offers something for everyone to enjoy. After a day of exploration, return to the cottage and unwind on the porch, or gather around the fire pit for an evening of storytelling and s'mores. The neighborhood even has a private boat slip available for guest use.
The Space:
Each space at the Hideaway Cottage has been tastefully appointed and thoughtfully designed to create comfort and foster togetherness. The entire family can experience this beautiful lake/mountain setting while enjoying all the modern comforts and conveniences of home. You and your family won't want to leave this peaceful retreat.
Amenities:
- Board Games, Puzzles, Cards, and Dominos - this is how we love to wind down our days as a family. The cabin offers the perfect setting for family game night.
- Cornhole - enjoy a few games of cornhole on our side porch; perfectly flat and enough space for a regulation distance game (for those of you who are purists)
- Outdoor Living - our spacious screened porch offers an outdoor dining area and sitting area, plenty of room for the entire family to enjoy the mountain views. The side porch offers an additional seating area, a fire table, grill, and the aforementioned cornhole setup (yes, I said aforementioned)
- Luxury Bedding - each bedroom comes with bedding from Peacock Alley, bringing the feel of a luxury hotel to a cottage setting. After a long day of enjoying the outdoors, rest assured you will feel clean, refreshed, and completely comfortable when you lie down for the night.
- Lake Access and Outdoor Adventure - the neighborhood offers access to a private boat slip and lake access just a 3-minute drive from the cabin. Boat rentals and boat storage are also offered at Hurricane Marina nearby. If hiking is more your thing, enjoy miles and miles of trails, rivers, and waterfalls at the 3 state parks nearby
- Entertainment - Smart TVs in the main living space and the basement guest suite allow guests to stream Netflix, Hulu, and more for a movie night or binge-watching favorite shows.
- Working? Our super-fast fiber internet and desk setup makes this the perfect place to get away while staying connected
Conveniently located:
- 10 min from Hurricane Marina
- 10 min from Downtown Smithville
- 30 min from Edgar Evins State Park

Accessibility:

Other things to note
Please treat the space with respect. If any problems arise, we will do our best to take action ASAP, but there is no one living on site 24/7.
The lake and surrounding woods are home to critters such as, but not limited to, deer, squirrels, rodents, insects, and reptiles. Our cabin is treated with regular pest control and the company we use does an excellent job; however, we cannot guarantee that any such critters will not be visible around the property. The presence of any such critters does not entitle the guest to a refund. When traveling to the state of Tennessee be sure to familiarize yourself/group on what reptiles & animals will be present in the area you’re visiting.

Parking is only available and allowed for up to 4 vehicles.
Please respect and do not disturb our neighbors.

About the host
Hosted by Jeremy Quarles
Hi! We are the Quarles. We love to spend time as a family, explore the outdoors, travel, and experience other cultures. We are both big readers and love history, which adds to our love of travel. We are also passionate about creating spaces that invite togetherness, rest, rejuvenation, and a sense of peace. We hope if you stay in one of our properties you will find this to be true!
Why they chose this property
We love visiting Center Hill Lake and the surrounding state parks! With so much to offer, you could explore this area for weeks at a time! Or if you don't have quite that much time, the close proximity to Nashville (right around an hour) makes this the perfect place for a quick getaway. The lake itself is nestled beautifully among the rolling hills of Tennessee. The water is clear and inviting, perfect for swimming, boating, fishing, or just lounging by the water.
The surrounding state parks are where the real adventure begins. Edgar Evins State Park is located just down the lake from the cottage. It's like stepping into a postcard with its lush forests, towering bluffs, and miles of hiking trails. Plus, there are plenty of spots for a picnic or a stroll along the lake shore.
If you're up for a short drive, don't miss out on Burgess Falls State Park. Here, you'll find some of the most breathtaking waterfalls in the state. The main attraction is Burgess Falls itself, a 136-foot cascade that will leave you speechless. There are also smaller falls and cascades scattered throughout the park, each one more beautiful than the last.
And let's not forget about Rock Island State Park. This place is a true hidden gem with its rugged terrain, scenic overlooks, and fascinating history. Be sure to check out the Great Falls, where you can watch the mighty Caney Fork River plunge 30 feet into the gorge below. It's a sight you won't soon forget.
Perhaps the best thing about Center Hill Lake and the surrounding state parks is the sense of peace they offer. There's something truly special about being surrounded by nature, far away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. So whether you're seeking adventure or simply a place to unwind, you'll find it all right here in this little corner of Tennessee. Welcome to paradise!
