Quaint cottage by the Lake

Enjoy this quaint cottage within walking distance of beautiful Dale Hollow Lake.

Although the cottage doesn’t offer a lake view, you’ll be extremely pleased with the convenient proximity to the Dale Hollow marina (at Cedar Hill) and its amenities. While here, take a trip back in time to 1955 and imagine the excitement within the fishing community when the Worlds Largest Smallmouth Bass was weighed in at the Cedar Hill marina.
The historical swinging bridge at Dale Hollow is within a 15 minute walking distance from the cottage. Here, you’ll find a swimming area along with picnic tables and grills. The Dale Hollow dam and Cedar Hill Marina are both within view of the swinging bridge which make the location a nice place to relax and “boat watch”!

Thinking about setting a new world record but forgot the boat? It’s not a problem. Several marinas are close by and are happy to accommodate you with one of their pontoon boat rentals. Feel free to contact me for details. We do recommend that you arrange the boat rental in advance of your arrival to secure availability.
If you’re looking for an awesome fishing experience, don’t hesitate to ask us about guide service. We work with a local guide who has years of experience on Dale Hollow and will be sure to make your trip unforgettable.

This house is great for a fishing trip! Older home but clean. I would recommend bringing whatever you like to cook in as there were very few pots and pans in the kitchen. Super close to marinas, dollar store, grocery store, and the best pizza from Dale Hollow Pizza! The owner was very friendly and super accommodating. Thank you so much!
