** 9.8-Star Lakefront Retreat: Private Dock, Pro-Angler Ready, Kayaks Included!

****Over 100 glowing 10/10-star reviews can't be wrong! ****
Escape to our peaceful, three-story, 3-bedroom, 2-bath lake house on a quiet cove of Lake Chickamauga. This is the perfect getaway for serious anglers, families seeking relaxation, and nature lovers alike.

**Angler’s & Boater's Paradise**
We cater to the fishing enthusiast! You'll appreciate the convenience that keeps guests returning year after year:

*Private Covered Dock: Tie up your boat steps from the door. Power is available right on the dock for charging batteries overnight.

*Pro-Angler Driveway: Our large, loop-around driveway allows for easy pull-through access. We have hosted up to six boats simultaneously, with ample grass parking for trailers and power hookups at the carport and garage exterior.

*Convenient Access: Just a 2-minute drive to Cotton Port Marina (fuel/restaurant/ramp) and 20-25 minutes to the main Dayton Boat Ramp.

**Unbeatable Views & Outdoor Living**

*Enjoy quiet mornings and spectacular sunsets from our multiple outdoor spaces:

*Huge Side Porch: A perfect private spot for grilling and sun tanning, equipped with a gas grill.

*Covered Rear Porch: Relax with a view of the water, mountains, and incredible sunsets. Outdoor ceiling fans keep you comfortable all day.

*Waterside Pad Table: Enjoy lunch by the water while watching the kids swim in the safe, peaceful cove.

*New Firepit Area: Gather around the large gravel pad with a firepit (cook on it!) for s'mores, hot cocoa, or a glass of wine under the stars.

**Comfortable Indoor Living & Amenities**

Our home is designed for comfort and connection, blending indoor and outdoor living seamlessly:

*Open Concept Design: The great room, kitchen island (seats 4), and dining area (table seats 6) ensures everyone is part of the conversation.

*Fully Equipped Kitchen: Brand-new, convenient, and ready for your catch of the day.

*High-Speed Connectivity: Stay connected (or stream your favorite shows) with high-speed fiber optic internet/WiFi.

*Unique Layout: A charming spiral staircase connects the three levels of living space, offering privacy and distinct gathering areas.

*Top Floor: Bedroom with 2 XL Twin Beds (new mattresses) and a balcony.

*Main Floor: Master bedroom and master bathroom with a large shower.

*Bottom Floor: Second living area/den with a big-screen TV, a Queen bedroom, and a full bathroom/laundry room combo.

**Explore the Lake**
Nature is at your doorstep. We provide complimentary kayaks for you to explore the cove, bird watch (including frequent eagle and osprey sightings), or paddle across to the nearby campground for a snack.
Want a unique adventure? Boat 20 minutes upriver to experience the lock system up to Watts Bar Lake (it's free!).

**Location & Local Attractions**
Though the area is peaceful, you are never far from conveniences. The towns of Dayton, Athens, Decatur, and Cleveland are nearby for groceries, dining, and shopping. For a bigger day trip, Chattanooga and Knoxville are both just an hour's drive away.

**Book your 5-star Lake Chickamauga experience today!

*******A Note on Water Levels & Security *******
The dock is typically dry from Oct 1 until mid-to-late April due to TVA seasonal water level adjustments (check historic levels online). For peace of mind, we have security cameras covering the driveway and rear yard when the house is unoccupied.
