Gallatin, Tennessee
There is no better feeling than hearing, seeing and smelling the lake while relaxing under the shade of your own private covered deck…knowing that at any moment you can step out of your chair and take a stroll of 56-steps down to the water's edge.
It's the cozy & rustic interior and quiet wildlife views that give this lake-front home its name Cozy Cottage, but it's the freedom of being in constant serenity that gives it its spirit.
Outdoor Games, fishing gear and 3 kayaks are included.
The experience of spending time here wouldn’t be complete without sharing it with your loved ones, including your furry companions.
Nestled in the serene Sunset Bay Resort of Gallatin, The Cozy Cottage on Old Hickory Lake, spanning 988 sq ft, offers a spacious retreat for up to 2 guests. Featuring a pristine master bedroom with ensuite on the main level leading out to the living areas with expansive lake views from the wall of windows, this lakefront haven fulfills every dream of an idyllic lakeside home.
This perfect oasis to escape the stress of your everyday-life wouldn’t be complete without a full-size kitchen, finished with nice appliances, granite and everything you need, including spices.

**COVE INFORMATION**
Please keep in mind that due to the location of the shoreline in the cove, the current may occasionally bring in debris, including wood, trash, and often entire trees. Moss and algae are part of living on the water, and we have very little control over what the current brings in on a daily basis. We try to keep the area cleaned out; however, we are not on-site daily. If you encounter any issues during your stay, don't hesitate to reach out to us; we're here to make your experience unforgettable.
Property was nice and hosts were very easy to communicate with. Loved sitting on the back deck while working. Ton of deer in the area! Even caught a couple of fish off the dock.
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. The house is immaculate and full of the best hotel type bathroom toiletries and extras! It is so close to everything downtown and an easy drive to the airport!
We had to move out of our home for a week to have our floors redone, and this home is just down the street. So it was obviously conveniently located. :) The home is very comfortable and was nice & clean.
Cozy Cottage is a cozy place to stay. Very peaceful and quiet. Great place to get away from it all and enjoy nature!
This was a great place to stay if you want to experience staying at a lake house.
The house was as advertised and actually better than I was expecting. We spent one day doing nothing but watching the wildlife and enjoying the peacefulness.
My husband and I stayed at the Cozy Cottage for our honeymoon in August-September. We had a wonderful stay and felt right at home. The cottage had everything we needed and is in a great location. We brought our boat and kept it at the dock which was super convenient and we had a great time exploring Old Hickory Lake! We have been talking about staying here again. Definitely recommend!
Cozy cabin is a wonderfully Tranquil lake cottage. Delightful wildlife and beautiful views of the lake. Definitely enjoyed our stay.
The hosts made sure to provide you with everything they could think of. We originally rented just the upstairs but changed our mind at the last minute due to not having access to the laundry room and asked if we could rent the whole house so we could use the laundry room (keep that in mind if just renting the upstairs). The hosts were wonderful and allowed us to do so. They provided everything you could want/need including extra snacks, soaps & shampoos, and robes in each closet. The cupboards are full of pots, pans, utensils, spices. and coffee. There are also some food items such as oatmeal, peanut butter, etc. There are grocery stores fairly close by and we went before going to the house. The bedrooms are plenty (whole house) and the beds are comfy. There were 3 bathrooms if needed (1 upstairs and 2 down.) It was like a 5 star hotel only better because of the gorgeous views you had. Each day we saw several deer going through the property (I counted 21 in one passing). We also saw a fox each day and at one point he curled up in the open field next to the house; adorable! We saw lots of geese, ducks, cranes, etc. on the lake. It was all so beautiful that we didn't go anywhere else. I felt privileged to be able to stay in such a heavenly place and highly recommend!
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, great location and easy to travel to different parts of the Nashville area. The hosts were great to work with and followed up as needed. The home was clean, nice layout, and had everything I needed. Wonderful deck with comfortable seating, I also lucked out and had beautiful weather the entire time I was there! My only feedback was that the neighbors were bit closer (location wise) than I anticipated, so not as private, but it was a very quiet area and I had no problems. There is a dock but I didn't really use it because of the geese, not within the hosts control but it did prevent me from using that as a place to relax. But, geese go where geese want to go, just made it more wildlife friendly, which I definitely enjoyed. Would highly recommend and would consider staying there again! Thank you!
