A PIECE OF PARADISE, WATERFRONT HOME

New gravel pad with large firepit everyone loves and new pad with table near the dock to have lunch while enjoying the water. Covered dock , LOOP driveway to accommodate boats. Love this location and home. Located in a peaceful cove along Lake Chickamauga, you'll find views of the water, mountains and sunsets. Easy access to boat launch in Cotton Port Marina across the cove. Fuel and restaurant available at marina. Dock is typically dry from Oct 1 until mid to late April.

Amazing views from the Kitchen, Great Room and full wrap around porch! Just a few steps out the back door and you're at the water. The private dock provides exceptional access to fishing and other water sports seasonally.

Arrive by boat late April to end of September. While lake levels vary Oct to April affecting use of the dock seasonally, the boat launches and lake use are available year around. Download TVA’s app for information on lake levels and other helpful information.

There is plenty of parking in the loop driveway for 3 vehicles with boat trailers , (OK to park trailers on the grass inside the loop). A deck for sunning, snacking or watching the kids play overlooks the boat dock with chairs and umbrellas. Outdoor ceiling fans offer cool comfort on the porches.

The new kitchen is convenient and fully equipped, and the great room design ensures even the chef is included in the conversation and fun. Very neat 2 story spiral staircase takes you to entertainment room downstairs, bedroom, bath. Midfloor consist of kitchen, dining, master bedroom and bathroom. Top floor has bedroom with twin beds and balcony. Table with seating for 6 along with 3 bar stools at the breakfast bar. Access the lake from the lower or mid floor. Comfortable seating in the entertainment room for watching tv includes a couch and high-top table with chairs. This home feels expansive and comfortable with vaulted ceilings and wonderful natural light.

Two bedrooms have queen sized beds and upstairs bedroom has twins.

A large lawn area out front gives plenty of space for yard activities. Full wrap around porch is great places for sunning, relaxing and/or BBQ. Enjoy your hot cocoa, s'mores or a glass of wine with friends and family on the rear porch. Use the kayaks to cross the cove and get a snack at the camp ground or explore the neighboring cove.

We commonly do the trip across the lake to Chattanooga and enjoy all it has to offer.

Dayton, Athens, Decatur, Cleveland are close by with restaurants, shopping, groceries and fuel, and Chattanooga and Knoxville are each an hours drive for attractions, concerts, historical locations, live music, etc.

I have installed one security camera covering the driveway. This helps me to sleep at night when the house is unoccupied.

Hope you enjoy our home as much as we do.

Last week's stay
Nice property great location on the lake Very quiet. Owner was great to work with. Only issue was the microwave did not work. We were not at the house much so it did not matter and they did have a toaster oven that got us by. I never reached out about the microwave, again it was not a big deal to us. I am confident they would have addressed and hopefully they can before the next guests. Would book again Thanks for the hospitality

We enjoyed our stay! The house was clean and furnished well. The dock was great. We took our boat and enjoyed fishing. It was very quiet and peaceful. The only issue was the WiFi was very slow. We plan on returning.

Great vacation spot
We visited from Florida for a family vacation. We really enjoyed our stay and the house was mostly accommodating of our needs. We loved having access to the water for kayaking and fishing, and we visited the Mayfield creamery during our stay. There are a few small accommodations that would ha e made our stay easier such as paper towels in the kitchen. We did struggle a bit with the spiral staircase and didn’t feel the upstairs railing was safe due to a gap in the rails (our 6 year old definitely could have fit through it). Overall, we had a great trip and we are pleased with our stay. Thank you!

Beautiful home ight on the lake
This was our second year in a row staying in this home! We own a boat, and it is fantastic to be able to leave your boat docked in the private, covered dock! We were able to leave all fishing gear on the boat without fear of someone tampering with it. The boat launch is conveniently locate, right across the cove. You can boat back to the house faster than you can drive back from the launch. The house is gorgeous and has a great view of the cove! There is plenty of cookware if you wish to eat in. Keith has several kayaks for use, and there are plenty of places you can fish from the kayak! I caught my pb from the kayak! Keith responds to any questions or concerns you have within minutes! I could tell he really wanted us to enjoy our stay! I would highly recommend this house to anyone who wants a nice house with beautiful scenery, especially if you like to fish and/or boat! Thanks Keith for being the perfect host to the perfect for us house!

Bachelor party boat weekend
That was an awesome house. I planned a bachelor party for my brother and we wanted a lake house with a dock and this was golden. It was a very cute house, and nice layout. We brought a boat and put in at one of the boat ramps that’s less than 5 mins from the house, then were able to park the trailer at the house. It is a little tight turning into and getting in the driveway as I had a 24’ trailer, but once in there is enough space to turn around and park. The cove is very shallow all the way in, my depth reeder was saying 5’-2’, so be careful, but the bottom is just mud and silt so it shouldn’t ruin a prop. Overall very good property and had everything we needed. Easy to communicate with hosts and they are very accommodating. Easy to find house.

Cute house on the river
We loved our stay. There was plenty of room for all of us to spread out & have our own space. We enjoyed the dock & took out some kayaks & paddled around. Unfortunately it rained at night so we were unable to have a fire pit. The place was spotless & the kitchen was fully stocked with all kinds of pots, pans , plates , etc. We hosted a dinner at night & we loved the indoor - outdoor kitchen / dining room combo right out to the deck. Out only " warning " is the staircase is a spiral so not really good for uner age 3 friendly. We were all adults so it was perfectly fine for us. If we came back to this area we would definitely rent from here again

Wonderful trip to Decatur, TN. My family and I had a great time at "A Piece of Paradise". The house was clean and had everything we needed.

Very small, weird layout
Pictures makes this property and home look way bigger than it really is. Ok stay if you’re planning on staying out side your whole trip. No place to get comfortable in the house. Comfort was not thought of when getting this vacation rental put together. From the beds and sheets to the tiny bathroom downstairs. Not accommodating for more than two people.

Dayton vacation
Our stay was nice, the volume on the tv would not turn up or down, at first. So we unplugged the tv and plugged it back in and it worked fine after that. The beds are comfy, but each bedroom is on a different floor, and there are 3 floors. We felt safe and no one bothered us. The lake was dry, but we didn't go there for that. Lovely home, would stay again. Tons of ladybugs inside he house.
