"My buddies and I had a great time on our annual get together. Plenty of room and a comfortable place for Our weekend. Very close to Harrison Bay State Park." -Joe, Oct 2024

"Absolutely dream of a place if fishing Lake Chickamauga or golfing at Bear Trace!! Room for everyone living and parking. Very accommodating hosts. I was here for a fishing tournament and we were able to accommodate 4 trucks and boats without parking on grass. This was without using the driveway. So plenty of room for more." -David, Jul 2024

"We came into town for the BASS High School National Championship. It was perfect for us! It was so close to the Harrison Bay State Park it made things easy. It's a perfect house for a fishing group." -Pete, Jul 2024

"I can’t say enough wonderful things about this beautiful home! We stayed here for five days with our grown children, and four grandchildren. Everything in the home was well laid out, and every amenity was thought of. We cooked every night in the well equipped kitchen. We played games that were provided for both children and adults. Plenty of room for sleeping and privacy, and lots of space to spend time together as well. The fire pit was great with enough chairs for all of us, and we all loved the pond, and even caught some fish! In the evening we sat out on the porch and watched all the deer in the backyard. The grandkids loved that! Highly recommend this property! The hosts were amazing and responded immediately to a couple of questions. We will definitely be back!" -Melody, Mar 2024
