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 ramp available for guest use.

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.

Why they chose this property
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!
