Perfect for a relaxing getaway. We enjoyed the home and fished from the deck. Caught quite a few and enjoyed watching the turtles. Very close to Chattanooga. We also highly recommend the Tunnel Hill tour.

Beautiful cabin on the water

The woodwork and decor were very well done. Everything was clean and ready for us. We were traveling and just stayed one night but it was a great location close to I75. The back deck goes right to the water so you could really fish off the deck. It was raining while we were there, but it was still beautiful. Thank you for your hospitality!

Beautiful home on the Lake

I’m not sure I ever heard from the actual owner or property manager as they seem to own many properties. I can say that Cassie, the housekeeper for the property, was wonderful! She let us know the home would be available for an early check-in and provided useful information throughout our stay. The cottage was absolutely beautiful and being on the small lake was heavenly! Just what my husband and I needed!In reference to negative reviews on the neighborhood, I found it to be exactly as the homeowners, property manager, Cassie, or whoever described this is a neighborhood of good, kind, country folks. It was refreshing!!!

Cottage on a geese reservoir

The cabin was renovated to an adorable cottage. The kitchen is equipped well enough to cook own meals. The main living room area is quite large. Couches are comfy. Meals are at the counter with wood bar stools. The king bed is hard as others mentioned. The front leads to the master bedroom. The back patio door is supposed to be the main entrance with a combo lock. The deck has a few missing rails and note to young families, the pic is real at end of open deck to water is about a 2 foot drop. The grill has weathered and rusted so I do not recommend using it. I never did get the instructions on entering the home and guidelines. Thankfully the property manager was near and responsive to help me enter! She was very helpful and kind. I did take a wonderful walk all the way around Kathy Lake and it was quite safe and peaceful.I could easily identify the other renovated cabins for rentals. Lower income homes are mixed in with a few places that are vacated. And a few newish nice homes too. The whole area is on small reservoir or pond. Now the geese are very happy living on their little island and visiting the grounds. It’s a wonder how they squawk all day into the evening! They will leave you alone if you don’t bug them. I am not a fan of these messy poopy birds but those that do can feed them their food in the jar provided.The water is not what I consider a swimming area with the geese and moss.

Beautifully updated lakeside cottage.

Less than 10miles from downtown Dalton on a private lake Kathy. The inside of the property is amazing and the back deck/dock makes fishing easy and super convenient. I wish there was a paddle boat or canoe available for the guest, that would icing on the cake.

Just what we needed

The cabin is adorable and so well decorated. Very homey feel and comfy. The added bonus to fish from the deck, the kids loved. You have all basic necessities needed and the kids were super excited to find an added sweet treat on there pillows when they arrived. Very sweet touch added. Thank you for letting us stay.
