Great escape
We enjoyed our stay so much. It was perfect for our group. The home is clean, roomy, cozy and well-appointed. The beds are all very comfortable. It's on a beautiful, quiet part of the lake with so many herons, eagles and osprey to watch. We spent much of our time on the back deck just looking out at the water. My children enjoyed swimming, kayaking and paddleboarding and they even caught a few fish. My only suggestion would be to put a "No Diving" sign down at the pier as it's much more shallow than it looks.

What an awesome place for our family.
This was an ideal place for our family to be together. There was lots of spaces we could use to play games. Plenty of space we could find sanctuary to be alone when we needed to be. We would stay there again in a moment.

Very comfortable and welcoming home. We found everything we needed and more. It was a great location for family from Nashville, Chattanooga and Atlanta to join our part of the family that live in Calera AL which is only a half hour away. Love it and glad we choose this house!

Beautiful spot for a small wedding or gathering!
Chip’s place is a beautiful, peaceful lake front property with SO much space. We held rehearsal and a small wedding/reception here with about 50-60 people and the wedding party was able to stay here for the weekend (about 20 people) and it slept everyone comfortably! The kitchen is beautiful and huge and has everything you would need and there was a large, beautiful dining room table. It has several bathrooms and is equipped with a washer and dryer (and plenty of towels/wash rags/etc). The check in and checkout process was super simple. Chip was very responsive and overly accommodating and we could not have asked for a better host. The fire pit was a big hit on the chilly nights. The patio was everyone’s favorite place because of the beautiful views of the lake and the serene setting. The living room was very cozy and the guys enjoyed the setting to kick back and watch football. We will never forgot the memories made here, and I would highly recommend this gem to anyone!!

Top Notch Getaway
During our 6 day stay, we had such a fun and memorable time. The house has EVERYTHING! There are coffee pots, a French press and a coffee grinder. Also, any appliance you might need and several sets of dishes. The huge kitchen grill/griddle we used more than the stove for preparing food for 7-15 people. We brought jet skis and used the dock to launch. We used the paddle board and kayaks and fished every day. Truly a great place to gather.
