Welcome to The Rockhouse – Your Dale Hollow Lake Getaway
Escape to The Rockhouse, a cozy studio-style cabin just up the hill from beautiful Dale Hollow Lake and East Port Marina. Whether you're planning a relaxing weekend or a full week of lake adventures, this peaceful retreat offers the perfect combination of comfort and convenience.

Inside, the cabin features an open living space with a fully equipped kitchen, a queen/XL twin bunk bed, a separate full bathroom, and a charming loft with two additional XL twin beds—ideal for families or small groups.

Step outside to enjoy the laid-back atmosphere and relax by one of two shared fire pits. Complimentary firewood is provided to make evenings under the stars even better. Planning a group trip? There are two similar cabins on the same property, available to rent separately for larger gatherings.

Located in the scenic Upper Cumberland region, The Rockhouse is a quiet and convenient home base—just a short walk or drive to East Port Marina, where you'll find boat rentals, a seasonal bar & grill, and a public boat launch. It’s also within day-trip distance of Nashville, Knoxville, Chattanooga, and Gatlinburg.

Guest Access
Guests have full access to the cabin, both communal fire pits, and private trailer parking located just behind the cabins.

Very impressed! The hosts are VERY nice. Beautiful and just up the hill from Eastport Marina. As soon as you walk in, you are gently greated by a wonderful scent which stayed there throughout our stay (I fell in love with). Unique staircase which was fun to go up and down when you got used to it. This cabin had everything we needed for our stay even had shampoo, conditioner and body wash (we needed a lighter for the firepit though). Such a pleasure to stay there, even gushed to my extended family of how wonderful this place is as well as the hosts! My family will definitely stay here again when we visit Dale Hollow next!
