About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Between the Waters Rustic Retreat

About this space
Want to get away from it all? Decompress? Between the Waters is the place to come! We're steps away from State Forest hiking trails, Standing Stone State Park, Dale Hollow Lake & Cumberland River. Make long-lasting memories with a day on the lake, hike in the park, a campfire at night or board games for some fun! Enjoy our new Amish-built cabin with all the amenities of home, yet all the peace & quiet you want. We're still close to all that's popular in this area, including festivals & fairs.
The space
You have complete privacy with beautiful scenery when you stay with us. You won't see another "guest" for miles and miles. Enjoy listening to the Whippoorwill's in the morning and evening, and the owls talking to each other at night while gazing at the awesome array of stars. Watch the deer or turkeys graze on the property or hear the bluebirds, cranes, crows and hawks chatter away. Firepit with free firewood for roasting hotdogs or marshmallows while the kids try to catch the lightening bugs! The cabin's bedroom has a brand new queen bed, and the living room area can accommodate another 2 more. Plenty of room for an air mattress if your party is larger than four. Full size kitchen and bathroom provide more than enough space to move around.
Guest access
Plenty of space to park and if you bring your boat-plenty of space to turn around and plug in to recharge your trolling motor. You're welcome to explore our 20 acres with our 2 creeks (hence the name Between the Waters) and our garden and hen house. You have no other "neighbors" so feel free to explore.

Other things to note
Even though you have complete privacy, we live at the back of the 20 acres so we can assist with anything you may need at a moment's notice. The nearest Dale Hollow boat ramp is just a few miles away, and state forest is all around us for hunting. Access to the Cumberland river and it's famous Striper Bass fishing is fairly close by as well. If you don't have a boat, but like to swim, the lake has a few beaches and Standing Stone State Park has a public swimming pool for $6.00/person (Mem'l Day through Labor Day).

We are new to VRBO but not new to hosting. Check out our reviews on the other popular website to feel assured you've picked the perfect place to stay!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker and a dining table.

Wonderful, peaceful, cozy little getaway

We stayed here 1/18-20 as we were far from home looking to purchase in the area. Our host, Jodi, was so warm and welcoming from our initial messaging through the end of our stay. She was so helpful and gave us a lot to think about moving there. We even got a little snow which being from FL are not accustomed to, but it looked like an idyllic winter wonderland, and she made sure we were prepared for the cooler temps and even gave us an update on the roads as she knew we planned to venture out to the surrounding towns.The place was perfect inside and out (looks brand new), very clean and had everything you would need to cook several meals. Above all, it was so relaxing and a nice place to get away from it all. I highly recommend and would love to stay again before we have our home there.

Memorial

I was there for a family memorial service. It was a very nice little cabin for 2 adults. Very clean & nice amenities. I do have just a couple of small recommendations. Maybe consider adding some over the door hangers to hang towels or clothes on & a couple of clothes hangers. It was very happy to discover the clothing steamer under the bathroom sink. It would be nice if there was a hanger to hange a shirt on while you steam it & after so it doesn’t wrinkle again. Also a full length mirror would be nice so you can see your finished outfit. 😊. Thank you for the nice water & snacks you provided as well. Amy

Amazing trip!

We went to visit family in the area and this place was so perfectly located. The cabin was spotless when we got there and very cozy to come back at the end of the day and relax. The owners are very nice wonderful people, communicated often with us to make sure the stay was going well and even gave us some veggies from their garden.

Fantastic country getaway

Great comfortable clean cabin with everything for a great stay! Close to several great lake spots, and included everything needed for cooking meals. Hosts were very friendly. Lovely nightly chorus of frogs, owls, whiporwills, and more to sing you into a restful sleep after a day of sun and swimming.
