Girlfriend Trip
We appreciated that this property was located about 30 minutes from everywhere we went by Uber during our 4 day stay. The property has an older, more rundown side to it with 4 bedrooms in it. And it has a more up to date 2 bedroom suite. It suited us well. The big decks overlooking the lake were a big plus. And the deck furniture was plentiful and comfortable. There was some confusion at check in about how to access the second suite. As a result, we missed staying in it for 2 of the 4 nights. The bedding, towels, etc. are a bit on the worn side. The pictures definitely enhance the look of the property but capture the different spaces accurately. Overall, the property met our needs. If you’re not looking for fancy or modern, this property holds a big group well.

Siblings vacation
Overall, it’s was a fantastic vacation. The property manager & owners were great! We enjoyed working with them. There were a few minor problems. Light bulbs not working or missing inside & outside the house. Mold on the shower curtains. TV’s we’re available but no cable. It should be listed to bring your own Roku or something compatible. All in all, the house was well worth the price. We are happy to stay there & recommend it highly!

Over all the stay was wonderful..cleanliness could use some improvement. Did not care for the extra cost on the group having more than 12 people..$25 per person...per night. Even for 2,4 and 5 year olds. Everyone enjoyed the house on the lake ..perfect ..

Amazing family get away
Photos really don’t do this property justice. What an amazing place with plenty of space to accommodate our large family. We enjoyed spectacular sunrises and beautiful sunsets from the deck, Fished from the dock and motored around the lake. The kitchen had everything we needed. The house had plenty of room with a bed for everyone to comfortably sleep 14. The owner was very helpful and friendly. We rented a pontoon boat from Chip and would highly recommend you rent it as well. Can’t say enough about this vacation. Looking forward to staying there again.

Awesome for families
Great location on the water. Group of 12 of us had more than enough room to spread out. It’s a bit of a drive to get into downtown Nashville, 30-40 minutes depending on traffic. The deck overlooking the water is a great spot to enjoy morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening. Overall, a fantastic stay.

The property was amazing and we had a fantastic stay. We stayed at the property and had 12 adults. This enabled every couple to have their own space. We enjoyed the outdoor space, game room, and the overall space. It was about 1/2 drive to downtown Nashville. Would stay at this location again in the future!

Family Wedding Weekend Trip
I want to start with the communication with the owner and her quick response to correct issues was at a Perfection Level! She fixed every small issue I had quickly. On the property: it was very Clean, it just needs some TLC and time spent on some Maintenace areas-Shower's grout in downstairs bathroom, outside deck and furniture, wasp nest, fornt porch light or bulbs. Beds were nice clean and comfortable. Decor for downstairs playroom needs some Love--maybe a couple of chairs or love seat. I would suggest you leave a written direction for the light switches on the wall downstairs. Firepit was a good walk from the house-not in actual backyard-so the use is not convenient to run up and down to get drinks. We had planned on using the firepit after a long day at the wedding, just wanted to chill and relax with family but did not. I WOULD suggest that you put a permanent Roku or Amazon Firestick in both of the TV's. No one thinks about not having cable because you can stream but you have to have a device or built-in device on TV to stream...to say how upset we were to think we could not watch SEC Football-is an understatement! But I called the Owner, and they brought over a Roku and we were in business for 1 of the TV's. Again, her response time and willingness to correct was Top Notch. It was a 31 minute drive to The Glutch area of Nashville, on a normal Saturday. The scenery is peaceful, relaxing but we had to swat at yellow jackets and wasp so we came inside until we went and bought spray. We went around and sprayed the nest and left the spray for future guest. I would Recommend this VRBO for anyone looking for a quiet place to unwind, chill, relax, or enjoy a boat! Thank you Melissa for your prompt and willingness to correct the issues I call you about! You are a Spectacular Host! :)

Amazing Place!
We rented out the property for our friend's birthday, and everything from the amenties to the lake itself was beyond our expectations. Melissa was very kind and responsive to any inquiries we had. I would also highly suggest renting out Pontoons and/or Kayaks from Chip, as it is not only significantly cheaper than renting it from a marina, it also adds more to the trip experience. Chip was real friendly and gave us an informative tutorial on handling the Pontoon, as well as the Cumberland's history and notable landmarks. Overall, I would recommend this to anyone who are planning big gatherings, especially any bachelor/bachelorette parties, as it's only 30 minutes from Music Row and The Gulch in Nashville. It's also a great place for fishing enthusiasts, as the bass were jumping right off the dock. We would definitely rent this place out again

A great time!
We stayed a week with 6 adults, the house was a perfect set up for a big group! The lake view is a beautiful cove area of the lake, so peaceful! The pool room was a big hit with our group! We rented a pontoon one day and had a great time exploring the lake. The grill was awesome to have out on the deck as well! Would definitely recommend this place. One complaint might be to have some dark out curtains in the bottom bedroom for that morning sun! Great place. Great communication with the owners!

Great Property
Great property.....both Chip and Melissa were easy to work with and very accessible. We rented boats and kayaks and really enjoyed the lake and the cove! The lake is beautiful and the cove is quiet and perfect for kayaks and paddle board. The game room is a plus...enjoyed by all ages! Kitchen was well stocked and rooms were clean and just as described. Note: this property shares a deck with adjoining rental....BUT still offers complete privacy. I rented both properties for our family AND we were able to share the deck HOWEVER, had we not wanted to 'visit' with the other side...we would not have known anyone was there (except when using the boat dock). It was about a 40 minute ride into Nashville for a concert...but return trip was less than 30 minutes....

What a great find! Melissa’s place was perfect for our family of 8 adults. The beds were comfy, there were plenty of all of the things we needed (toilet paper, condiments, coffee filters, etc - things you typically have to go out and buy), and the living room space was a great space to hang out. We didn’t go out on the back deck as the weather wasn’t great, but it’s a massive deck and would be so fun to hang out there and look out over the lake. We look forward to coming back some day!

Girls Long Weekend Trip
We really liked the house. Lovely 4 bedroom home at the lake with a great gameroom. Nice Kitchen and living room space. Loved that the property was just 30 minutes from Nashville. Melissa (property manage/owner) was very quick to respond to questions. My only pet peeve was that the master bedroom doesn't have a door to the bathroom or at least a curtain up. Even though we were all women and all related I still like to have privacy in the bathroom. Also, wished there was a hot tub. Overall would recommend and come again. Tip: If you come prepare to leave earlier than you plan. Lots of contsruction and no quick, convenient places to park if you've never been to downtown Nashville.

We had never been to the Cumberland River before and really enjoyed it. We also had a lot of great family time in the game room. Being directly on the water, the deck and deck furniture was pretty well covered in bugs. I was disappointed it wasn’t hosed off before our arrival. But overall, we had a great time. Definitely recommend renting a pontoon and going to the sandbar. Fun for all ages.
