We do have DirectTV.*** ****Water levels begin to decrease during October and begin to rise during April. There might not be sufficient water levels to boat from October-May. Guests should still be able to fish from the dock! ****
Guest Access: The house has a lockbox with key at the front door which will provide you access to the house. The code will be provided upon check-in. You will have full and private access to the home.
The Neighborhood: Lovely spot on the Chickamauga Lake portion of the Tennessee River with great fishing. House is located in a quiet spot at the end of a no outlet street.
Getting Around: A vehicle is definitely needed as we are located in a rural area.
Other Things to Note: Please note that there is currently no internet at the home. We love being able to disconnect and make the most of our time on the river; however, when needed, a cellphone will work for basic services. Disposal is turned on by the countertop button. The light switch next to the sink must be flipped on for it to work. The path down to the water is paved but very steep; therefore, it is not an option for everyone.
We kindly ask guests to treat all towels and linens with care. If any items are stained or damaged beyond repair, a replacement fee will be charged to cover the cost of new linens. This helps us maintain a high standard of cleanliness and comfort for all future guests. Thank you for your understanding!
We require a signed rental agreement, and for guests to be 21 years of age to book. If you notify us of your intent to cancel prior to the lapse of the free cancellation period, we will return 97% of your payment. The other 3% will already have been collected by the credit card processing company, and we have no way to return that portion of the payment.
Interaction with Guests: We like to give our guests maximum privacy, so we offer contact-free check-in via a lockbox. Just know that we are only a phone call away if ever the need arises during your stay!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.
