About this property
Hollerback Hunt & Yacht Club, peaceful lakefront with private dock on 6 Acres
Welcome to Hollerback Hunt and Yacht Club! Just kidding, there is no Hollerin', Huntin' or Yachtin', but if peace and quiet is what you're after then this is the perfect place to relax and unwind. We welcome those who enjoy nature and can appreciate and maintain the peaceful atmosphere that we and our neighbors cherish.
We are located in Altamont, TN which is an hour and a half from both Nashville and Chattanooga, and 45 minutes from Sewanee, Monteagle, The Caverns, Manchester and McMinnville. Altamont is approximately 2000 ft. elevation and temperatures are 10-15 degrees cooler up on the mountain than in the cities.
We are a family friendly retro cottage/cabin nestled in the trees on our 6 wooded acres next to a 10 acre spring fed lake, which keeps it full pool year round, and our own private dock and sun deck for swimming, sunning, floating, catch and release fishing and paddle boating.
Well behaved pets are welcome for a small fee but must be on a leash when off the property. They are also allowed at most local hiking spots.
Bring whatever you have that floats or use our 10 ft John Boat. (sorry no outboard motors allowed, but battery powered trolling and old school paddling are ok, paddles provided.
1.5 hours from both Nashville and Chattanooga and 45 minutes from Monteagle, Sewanee, The Caverns, Bonaroo, Manchester, McMinnville.

OTHER THINGS WE HAVE:
FIREFLIES, lots of them around sunset. Just like stars in the trees.
HUMMINGBIRDS, if the feeders are out you are welcome to add nectar to them. (1/4 cup sugar, to 1 cup boiling water, let cool, fill feeders) They put on a great show all day long near the front porch. There is usually a jug of it in the refrigerator.
DEER, they love to graze in the back pasture. Absolutely no hunting, but feel free to shoot them with a camera if you are lucky enough to see them.
RACOONS, so BAG and TIE and lock all trash in the cans on the back porch and don't forget to use the strap to keep them from getting into it, they are very clever. Garbage pick up is Monday.
BATS, yes, bats nest along the bluff and appear every night to eat Mosquitos, so we don't have many! but bring bug spray just in case.
BEARS, we have NO bears! Go to Gatlinburg if you want bears.
NEIGHBORS , we love them and ask that you not trespass on their property, not allow pets to roam the neighborhood, and keep music and loud noise to a minimum.

This was our 2nd stay at the lake house. Needless to say it didn't disappoint. Beautiful weather made it an absolute perfect stay. Kids enjoyed fishing, kayaking and playing volleyball. The quiet peaceful setting is what was needed for all of us. We look forward to our next stay!
Enjoyed the families fall vacation. The cabin have everything you can think of. Great location in a quiet, relaxing place. Caught some small fish. We'll definitely be back again. Owner is so nice and very responsive.
We had a fantastic time. We loved getting up and having coffee on the front porch swing, and or dock. Kids had a great time fishing and swimming. The place was very clean and well equiped. Its out of the way which is perfect for us. Very pet friendly as well. Would love to stay again.
Our stay was exactly what we wanted! Secluded and peaceful. The property is beautiful. Caught lots of fish, had a lot of laughs. The home had everything we needed to be comfortable. Thanks for sharing your property with us. We had a blast!!!
Wanted a quiet getaway on a lake. This property delivered. Very beautiful location. House was very nice. Lake was gorgeous and fishing was so good. We had our dog with us and she didnt want to leave! Was the perfect place for our family and close to home. Highly recommend this property. Thank you to the owners for making it a great weekend
Absolutely loved this home. Had everything you needed for a great little get together with family or friends. We fished the entire trip. We caught Bluegill, bass, and crappie. We enjoyed the deer that grazed in the yard. Highly recommend!
We spent Labor Day weekend at the Hollerback Hunt and Yacht Club - we had a great trip. Our three school aged kids and dog enjoyed playing in the water, riding in the boat, playing in the yard. When we weren't at the house, we were hiking on great trails and taking in amazing views. House is setup well - kids all slept easily upstairs, while we stayed downstairs. Location is wonderfully private and quiet - deer in the yard every morning. Great getaway for the long weekend!
I wish the listing was more up front about being 3 bedrooms the whole upstairs is one bedroom the pictures makes it look like there's 3 seperate bedrooms. One of our couples declined to come because of no privacy. Other than that beautiful scenery.
The property and cabin were fantastic!! The cabin is the perfect size for a family to relax and rest very easily and the beds are more than comfortable, the kitchen is equipped with everything you need to cook every meal with ease, the living room is perfectly sized and organized to either watch television or play the provided board games, and the covered porch is a wonderful place to have your morning coffee while enjoying the beautiful view of the lake. Speaking of the lake, there is an ample sized dock for relaxing or fishing; my husband literally fished all day, every day, and he caught his biggest bream ever.
If you forget something or need to buy groceries and whatnot there are both convenience and grocery stores within a short drive where the people are extremely friendly and helpful.
And lastly, the host is very easy to communicate with, and wants nothing more than to provide the guests with anything and everything to make for a fantastic stay.
All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be returning as soon as we are able. 😊😊
Always so relaxing and quiet. We enjoyed feeding the fish, swimming, crafting, and movie nights. Coffee on the porch swing started each day off perfectly.
We had a very nice time. Only issues were the boat had a "repaired" crack in the bottom which leaked immediately making it unusable, and only about half the string lights worked outside. No major problems, we still had a great time...
Perfect weekend getaway. Fished and swam and watched movies. Downstairs bed is amazing. Weather was a bummer but obviously nobody’s fault. Loved the porch sitting with my dog.
