Lakefront Spa Retreat for Two | Sauna, King Suite, Near Nashville

A Private Spa-Inspired Escape on Old Hickory Lake

Cottage 310 is the private main level of The Cozy Cottage on Old Hickory Lake, offered as an exclusive lakefront retreat for two guests in Gallatin, Tennessee — just 35 minutes from downtown Nashville.

Designed as a quiet, couples-focused escape, the space blends spa comfort with relaxed lake living. Guests enjoy a king suite, infrared dry sauna with red-light therapy, towel warmer, Turkish cotton robes, spa slippers, private deck, firepit, kayaks, fishing access, and spacious driveway parking for vehicles and boat trailers.

The entire main living level is yours during your stay. The lower level remains closed, ensuring no shared interior spaces and complete privacy.

Access to the main level is via exterior stairs to the deck. Once inside, all living areas are on a single level.

Originally a modest fishing cabin, the home has been thoughtfully restored into a cedar-lined retreat where warm textures and lake views create a comfortable, refined atmosphere.

Inside You’ll Find

• King bedroom with ensuite bath
• Cedar-lined living room with electric fireplace and lake views
• Fully equipped kitchen with granite counters
• Curated coffee bar with pods, teas, and syrups
• Dining area for two
• Reliable Wi-Fi ideal for remote work or extended stays

Spa Features

• Infrared red-light therapy dry sauna
• Towel warmer
• Turkish cotton basket-weave robes
• Spa slippers

Outdoor Living

The upper deck overlooks a calm, protected shoreline near Sunset Island — ideal for morning coffee or quiet evening meals.

The lower patio offers comfortable seating and a fire table. From there, it’s just 57 easy steps across a gently sloped grassy yard to the water’s edge, where you can kayak, fish from the private dock, launch your boat, or simply enjoy the lake.

Wildlife is common in this natural setting. Deer frequently graze in the yard, turtles sun along the shoreline, geese pass at dawn, and fox sightings are occasional.

Evenings often end at the wood-burning firepit as stars reflect across the water.

Included Amenities

• Kayaks, life vests & basic fishing gear
• Wi-Fi & Smart TV
• Heating & air conditioning
• Indoor and lawn games
• Quality bath products
• Fully stocked kitchen essentials
• On-site private parking with ample space for vehicles and boat trailers

Laundry access may be arranged for longer stays upon request.

Location

Located in the quiet Sunset Bay community of Gallatin:

• 7 minutes to groceries, coffee, and restaurants
• 35 minutes to downtown Nashville & Broadway
• 40 minutes to Nashville International Airport

Close enough for music and nightlife — peacefully removed on the lake.

If you're visiting now as a couple but plan to return with friends or family, the full four-bedroom Cozy Cottage may be available during select seasons for a larger lakefront stay.

Peak weekends, fishing seasons, and fall dates tend to reserve early.

The Gold Standard

This cottage was impressive all the way around. The owners thought of everything and exceeded every other stay we have had prior in a VRBO rental. Their example should be the industry standard. The cottage was comfortable, quiet, clean, and perfectly located for our destination needs. The owners are excellent in their communication. We will stay there again the next time we are down that way.

Stay at cozy cottage

The property is beautiful. Perfect for a quiet weekend on the lake. My personal opinion is that it’s slightly overpriced for the size of the home. Especially if sharing the space with other renters-the basement space can be rented separately from the upstairs. But I suppose that’s the market rate so do with that what you will. The space was very clean and if you’re traveling with the dogs, this is a wonderful spot. The hosts have gone above expectations for making them welcome in the space. Would stay again

We enjoyed sitting on the dock in the morning watching the ducks, sitting by the fire pit at night watching the deer and making s'mores, and everything in between.

Unknown fees

The cottage is in a great location if you want to be on the lake. There is easy access to the nice dock on the property. We had easy communication with the host. However, entry walkway and the steps leading to the cottage deck are slick if wet due to algae growth. Note if you have pets, the gate on the deck does not latch without manually lifting latch for a secure catch. In addition, there are many rules and individual fees accessed if those rules are broken. One of which - you are responsible to pull garbage cans to the street on Thursdays for pickup on Friday. If you fail to do that, if I remember correctly, there is a $40. Fee accessed per can. I understand placing garbage in cans but pulling cans to the street for pickup does not merit a relaxing vacation along with other fees you need to be aware of. I did not find this information when booking - so be sure you check the rule book after arriving to avoid other various fees that you could be charged for.

Do not miss out on this location for your trip to Old Hickory Lake! Home is right on the lake with a huge backyard and private dock. There are deer and fireflies everywhere. The neighborhood is so quiet and peaceful and full of southern charm. The hosts are amazing… they were so quick to respond to any questions we had.
