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”!

    Thinking about setting a new world record but forgot the boat? It’s not a problem. Several marinas are close by and are happy to accommodate you with one of their pontoon boat rentals. Feel free to contact me for details. We do recommend that you arrange the boat rental in advance of your arrival to secure availability.
    If you’re looking for an awesome fishing experience, don’t hesitate to ask us about guide service. We work with a local guide who has years of experience on Dale Hollow and will be sure to make your trip unforgettable.

    The first bedroom is furnished with (2) dbl beds and the second bedroom is furnished with (1) double bed and (2) twin beds.
    The cottage does include all cooking utensils, bath towels and charcoal grill. Direct TV and RECENTLY UPGRADED WiFi provided.

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.

Great fisherman’s camp

This was a great place to stay for a fishing trip. Parking can be a bit challenging with 2 (20’+) boats but doable. Also had outside electrical outlets for charging batteries. We had everything we needed and were very pleased with the accommodations .

Short weekend girls trip

The cabin has plenty of space and was very clean. Lots of things you need for the kitchen were available. I loved all the pillows on the beds. The property manager was super nice, allowed a late check out, and was very easy to contact. This is my second time staying here and I'm sure we will be back

The house is exactly as described…a quaint cottage. Decorated tastefully with the fisherman in mind. Kitchen had cookware, 2 coffee makers and plenty of utensils. It was clean and very comfortable. The owners were very responsive to questions prior to checkin and during our stay. Parking in front of the house is tricky with a fishing boat but we made it work. The house is located close to cedar hill marina and made for a quick easy trip to launch the boat at Pleasant grove recreational area. The waters of Dale Hollow lake are so clear and beautiful. We hiked over the swinging bridge and found a cave with a picnic table! Everyone we encountered was friendly and the park restroom facilities were very clean. Definitely recommend for anyone who wants to be close to boat ramp and recreational area. Only recommendation is to be sure to bring food to cook for meals after long day in hot summer sun. Our stay did not include weekend days so the bbq place was closed. There are gas stations within 10-15min driving that sell drinks, food and bait. We’re not much into fast food, but there are several places approx 20-30min from house.

The house was close to the road, but had plenty of parking room and a nice deck, but several nails need to be fixed. Cozy place that had everything you needed. It's in the woods, and we saw 1 mouse, but you're in nature, still a clean place.

We had a wonderful time at this little cottage. The host was very communicative and generous. It was very close to the Pleasant Grove Recreation Area. We spent one day hiking, exploring, and swimming. We spent one day in the cottage playing board games and watching movies. It was the perfect place to bring our kids. We loved all the fish decor and comfy beds. There was plenty of seating outside on the porch for sitting with a cup of coffee and a book. The kitchen had everything we needed. There were so many pillows and blankets. It was the coziest little house! We hope to come back in the near future!
