Renovated Cottage! Overlooks Dale Hollow!

When you arrive at Happy Hollow Cottage, the teal exterior with the rosy cheeks front door gives you a hint of what’s waiting inside. A bright, simple, cheerfully renovated 900 sq ft cottage (spring 2021) with a wall of windows at the large lakeside deck provides a close-up view of beautiful Dale Hollow Lake from the inside and the outside. You have found your happy place!
A king bedroom and bath are on one side of the vaulted open plan living/dining/kitchen; on the other side are two more bedrooms and another bath. The kitchen is all new with a state-of-the-art induction range and peninsula seating lets guests chat with the cook. You can also cook outside on a large gas grill and lounge on the deck while enjoying the view and the privacy. This cottage is small and welcoming and has been designed as a comfortable place to kick back, relax and immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of nature on a quiet dead end road in Sherwood Shores. If you listen closely, you will hear a variety of owls hooting in evenings and early mornings and the birds sing all day from the heavy woods just off the deck. The bird, owl and animal decor inside reflects the world of nature found just outside. Up to a dozen squirrels and two dozen cardinals will often gather on the deck rails for an early morning breakfast if you put out some sunflower seeds. Enjoy the show!
Dale Hollow Lake is considered the most beautiful lake in the state of Tennessee. It holds the world record for small mouth bass, 11 lbs 15 oz, and was voted the number one houseboating lake in North America by a leading publication. If being on the water is what you enjoy, come take advantage of the 27,700 acres of water and 620 miles of heavily wooded shoreline where development is restricted to marinas and day-use areas. Happy Hollow Cottage is conveniently located just minutes from several marinas. The closest one (7 minutes away) is Sunset Marina. They rent pontoons, houseboats, other watercraft and dock space. Sunset has also recently opened a new restaurant. There is a separate off-road parking space at the cottage for your boat trailer/RV or check with the marina about parking space if you rent a dock slip.

Beautiful lake view!
The house was great and had everything we needed. The host was very responsive. The view is beautiful and faces west so you get to watch the sun set each evening. Loved the bird feeders and watching the birds each day. The new fire pit table is a great addition, especially on chilly mornings and evenings. We would love to come back again!

Awesome lake getaway
Great locaton. Beautiful and peaceful view on the deck. Wonderful grill and fire pit table. We didnt make a real fire in the other fire pit, it was too warm. Lots of birds visit the bird feeders, squarrels are a little troublesome. Saw a ton of deer. Definitely a great place for a lake getaway. .a lake getaway.

Beautiful Little Lake House!!!
My family enjoyed our stay thoroughly. The view was beautiful and the house was very well stocked with any and everything you could need. The owner was always quick to respond, and even checked on us after a storm knocked out the power. He also allowed us to check in a few hours early. The only minor complaint I would have is that it could have been a little cleaner, lots of cob webs and the dishes and counters were a little dirty and sticky. But other than that, the house was wonderful and we would definitely book again!

Excellent location and well-stocked
Overall, this house fit our family and was well stocked. Location is excellent. The house was a little on the small side but we knew that ahead of time. Kitchen floors and dishes were not as clean as we would have liked but that could be due to us wanting to check jn early (which we greatly appreciated). Also might want to invest in a new coffee maker. Thanks

Very quaint cabin with lake view
The cabin was very cute and perfect for a weekend stay. Unfortunately 30 mins after we arrived we found out the local marina had an explosion so we were not able to get the boat we had reserved. No one’s fault and we feel so bad for those impacted. But not being able to boat we left after just staying one night and did not use many of the cabin’s amenities. I hope the marina recovers and we can come back some other time because we have heard great things about the lake.

Nice Cottage
We really enjoyed our stay. The cottage has a large deck with a nice view of the lake. The kitchen has all of the cooking supplies we needed and plenty of spices. We parked our boat trailer in one driveway and two cars in the other. It is about 10 mins to Sunset Marina. The cottage pictures are accurate and communication with Jon was easy. I would stay here again when we visit Dale Hollow.

Amazing Dale Hollow View!!
It’s has some really nice beach house color and decor. We have stayed in several VRBO’s in this price range since Covid hit but this one was by far the best bang for the buck of any since it started! Owner was extremely responsive and even dropped off new bulbs for the porch within a few hours of the storm taking a couple porch lights out! 10 out of 10 must try again!
