Talk about beauty! This Southern Cottage sits on a double lot on Lake Kathy and is located just 30 mins south of Chattanooga off I-75. Super Easy to find.
*no swimming or motorized boats in the lake. This gorgeous cottage was just completely gutted and remodeled in October 2023 with gorgeous quartz countertops, custom tiled shower, new paint, shiplap wall and new split unit AC system.
The water pressure issue and some of the past reviews has been fixed! All new plumbing throughout.

The view from either inside or outside of the cottage is beautiful. It overlooks Lake Kathy and is PERFECT for a couples get away. Lake Kathy is not a fresh water lake it is a huge pond.

Listen to the birds and the geese sing while you sit on your rocking chair back porch! Want to fish? Literally open the door and walk straight out to your dock on the water without your feet ever touching grass!

The smell of the pine trees and quite peaceful days are calling!

This cottage was just the right size for a couple. Very clean. Nicely updated inside. Plenty of linen. Loved sitting on the porch and just relaxing without noise- except the geese!. Might consider adding a few items to the kitchen like a baking sheet and a few serving bowls. Would definitely stay again.
What a nice cabin. I felt like I was in On Golden Pond movie. I was so relaxed there watching the geese and ducks. The inside of the cabin was well stocked and nicely decorated. The neighborhood houses around it were run down somewhat but it looks like somebody was fixing up many of the properties. I did feel safe at the cabin and taking a walk. We’ll be back.
We spent 4 nights here and it was amazing. The cottage was spotless and had everything we needed. We went to Ft. Mountain state park to see the mountains and also drove to Chattanooga one day. We caught a few fish, too. The cottage is very private and we didn't see any of the neighbors. I would certainly stay here again. I suggest bug spray if you're on the dock at night.Thats not a property problem, that's the nature of being near water. Awesome trip!!!
My husband and I came here for a little babymoon before baby #4 arrives and this cottage was just perfect for us. We enjoyed the quiet atmosphere. The cabin was clean and had nice updates. It had pretty much everything we were looking for in our stay. I will say we had trouble with directions at first because the street sign is small and the neighborhood doesn’t match the same ambiance as the cabin. But we had no problems at all after we arrived! We got such a kick out of the geese:) Loved it! Will return.
What a wonderful little find! My husband and I had an amazing get away! This oasis is clean comfy and coooozy! We LOVED the setting and lake! We will definitely be back!!! Cassie the housekeeper and now a sweet friend was the BEST! She was sooo attentive to anything we needed… not to mention… a playlist of love songs playing on the tv when we arrived that her daughter helped pick out! GREAT little oasis! Looking for another weekend to go back now! Thank you guys for making it sooooo special!!!
We had a splendid time. The pond and geese were such a delight. The property was very nice with the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern accommodations. Will absolutely book again!

Nice stay
Enjoyed the property itself despite the surrounding area. Nicely decorated living area and cozy sofa. Nice dock area. Owner left feed for the ducks which was fun.
This was a beautiful cabin fit for our little family getaway! The private dock was wonderful and the fishing was great. Perfect lake to take little ones on kayaks for the first time. Communication with the owners was quick and easy.
