Between the swing on the front porch and the beautiful back patio and river hammock you can choose your method of relaxation.

Sit by the fire, pitch horseshoes, fish and BBQ on one of the Wood, Charcoal or Gas grills over looking the river or get adventurous and try your hand at the Wood fired pizza oven!

    The property was everything we expected. The back deck overlooking the water was very relaxing. The decor in the house I’m hoping this was probably the most interesting accommodations I have ever come across.I additionally the host was so welcoming and we felt very at home.

    I truly enjoyed the property! I highly suggest it if you are looking for a peaceful getaway, and it there is some fabulous trout fishing. The kitchen amenities were great, which is all the more important when you are looking to get away from it all. I will definitely try to return with my Dad and nephew for a trout fishing excursion before the end of the summer.

    Absolutely amazing experience! Property exactly as described and portrayed (actually even better in person).Right on the Cumberland River. It's somewhat remote yet convenient for a peaceful retreat. Quiet. Sounds of nature surround the place. Very relaxing. It's at least 30 minutes from an Interstate, but easy to navigate. Paved roads up until the last few minutes, and that last bit of gravel road is well taken care of, so anyone in any type of vehicle can easily access.I came from NC, my brother from TN, and our dad from IL.Town of Burkesville is 15 minutes away, and it's small but has all the essentials for supply runs.The neighbors are far enough away that you have privacy, but they're also close enough & very welcoming if you need any guidance. Gregg is awesome! Exceptional communication beforehand and throughout. We were there to fish, and he's a guide, so he provided a lot of helpful suggestions. He even shared a dozen eggs & some salad mix from his garden with us.Pet friendly too, which was very beneficial for us, as my brother brought his dogs (who loved running around & got along with the neighbors dogs as well).HIGHLY recommend for a fishing retreat or a quiet relaxing riverside getaway! Especially if you're wanting to do some fishing, as there are several spots on site many more within 20 minutes Gregg provides a binder with precise mapping for access points. He also offers the option to guide you on the river on his fishing boat.Exceptional!

    Gregg was very responsive to messages and his directions to the house were spot on. When we arrived he came by, with his two friendly dogs, to greet us and make sure we had any special instructions for our stay. The house was great. Bathrooms looked recently updated, linens were comfortable, and the whole house was clean and inviting. The kitchen had all the items needed. We cooked all of our meals outside on one of the many outdoor cooking surfaces (propane grill, pizza oven, barrel cooker, and 3 fire pits). The house has a wondeful view of the river. They have kept a lot of the native plants so hummingbirds and butterflies are all over the place. We do not fish, but there was very easy access to launch a boat on the river. We, along with our dog, really enjoyed our stay and will keep this place in mind for future stays.

    Very relaxing stay. Clear star filled nights, tons of beautiful sounds from wildlife, and lots of space for the pets.. or your little ones... to run out that energy. Not hard to get back into town if you needed some bait or quick groceries. This place is extremely accommodating to pets. The owners make this place a great choice! They are very thoughtful and social, but they will give you your privacy. They even offered to share their catch for supper, and brought over farm fresh eggs when we arrived! It made us feel like more than just guests passing through. We highly recommend this place as a quiet respite.

    Beautiful property, love the river and the outside sitting area. The very nice owner brought us over a dozen fresh eggs as soon as we arrived. The house just needs a good deep cleaning. There were several partially used bars of soap stacked up at the sinks and in the tub and shower. The shower still had a dirty washcloth hanging in it, the tub was covered in body hairs, I pulled up the mat to find the bottom was completely covered in black mold/mildew. After sending a text to the owner his wife came over and wiped down the tub, took the old mat and later brought a new one back. The top of the fridge is covered in animal hair, as were the stairs and living room furniture (we have dogs of our own, so it’s not that we don’t like animals). The house is full of the owners personal stuff kind of like they just went across the road to stay while we were there. There are no curtains or blinds anywhere in the house, so it made us uncomfortable to turn on interior lights at night. Then as soon as the sun comes up you’re awakened by the sunlight, which wouldn’t be so bad if you were wanting to be up at the crack of dawn. We had booked the house for five nights, but left after three. We just didn’t feel clean in the house and weren’t sleeping well with no window covers.I really think the owner is a nice person, and the property is great, whoever cleans just does a terrible job preparing it for renters.

    In the words of our 16 and 19 year old sons, this was the best vacation ever! Starting with reading the laidback directions to get to the property, we knew it was going to be a great time. The home is beautiful and the setting majestic, especially when the fog rolls along the river. For your time at the property, my son said the trick to catching trout is to completely ignore your line. Keep an eye out for the unexpected as we had an armadillo wander up by the deck and were visited by the tiniest little frog. We spent the evenings playing euchre and trying different pizzas. The pizza oven was a huge hit! Get the fire going nice and hot, push the coals back and to the sides, and place the pizza in the center with the fire going around it. Keep the cover off while cooking and rotate frequently. The pizza is done within a few minutes! We used a self-rising flour for dough and rolled it thin. This was such a cool perk not available anywhere else we have stayed. There is plenty to keep you busy right at the property, but our 13 year old daughter also wanted to explore. A short drive allowed us to discover “76 Waterfall” which led us to renting a boat to explore Lake Cumberland. If you do this—go with State Park out of Jamestown for true, comfortable pontoons and great service from Kenzie! Dale Hollow Lake is also close with great restaurants and trails, with a beautiful overlook. I can’t recommend this property enough and have had family and friends ask for the details!

    My spouse and I along with our neice, enjoyed our stay on the river. We were in town to attend a family reunion and it was a welcome, peaceful retreat at the end of all the daily family events. The only downside we encountered was my husband being able to fit in the bed. He was a little longer than the bed, but we were able to make it work. The hosts were very friendly and the house was stocked with just about whatever you needed to pull off any meal without having to drive to a nearby store. We even got fresh eggs from the hosts' chickens that were absolutely delicious. Depending on whether or not we have more in our group next year, this spot will be at the top of our list!!

    Our group of three came in for a week of fishing at Dale Hollow. The location was close enough to the lake for easy access to a number of ramps. There was plenty of parking for the 3 trucks (one with a boat trailer). The house was clean and kitchen was well stocked for cooking and meals. The beds were comfortable, and the place was ideal for our needs.
