Our Soothing Sunsets Lake House is available for your retreats or vacations!

Year-round, the Soothing Sunset Lake House is a wonderful place to relax and spend time with family and friends. Now that winter is here, my Soothing Sunsets Lakehouse could be the perfect spot for your friends and family to gather together to enjoy a time of relaxation, game playing, playing pool, or just having a good time together. We have installed a new gas stove and double oven In the kitchen, a new gas fireplace in the living room, and a new AC/Heater unit in the sunroom to keep your stay as comfortable as possible this winter when the snow falls. The Lakehouse is a great place to be to hang out or just to enjoy the serenity of the lake. We have also just installed a Generac generator. This past April , we removed our old dock and replaced it with a larger 2 slip dock with a Trex composite deck. And finally, we enlarged our front porch to give more sitting room!

Our beautiful lakefront home has a sunroom, recreation room, living room, fully equipped kitchen, large counter high dining table, 3 large bedrooms, and 2 1/2 baths. The primary bedroom has a King sized bed and a twin bed. The “Bunk Room “ has a Queen sized, Full sized, and Twin size bed, plus a twin child sized sleeping chair/bed! The third bedroom has a comfortable Queen sized bed and a twin child sized sleeping chair/bed! There’s a wonderfully comfortable sleeping chair in the living room for someone who stays awake longer than the rest, or who just likes to wake up with the sunshine.

Step out from the sun room to a large deck overlooking another smaller deck with hot tub. The air is so clean and there is only the sounds of birds singing to make your visit so enjoyable. You might even see a wild deer or two.

Our recreation room has a pool table, dart board, and media center with a 65" television with Satellite TV, a 3-seat sofa, a 2- seater recliner rocker, a swivel rocker with rocking footstool, a large bar equipped with stemware and beer glasses with two bar stools; and a pub table with three stools. There’s a mini fridge and a chest freezer in the recreation room to hold your food and drinks whenever you need them.

If you need to do work, there is a desk that is available in the house. Internet and Wifi is available as well.

Our home has a private dock to fish from. Our new dock has two slips and a deck to enjoy fishing or swimming in the lake. It has lights, power, WiFi, and fans! In the fall and winter, the water is lower; but sitting on the dock can still be enjoyable.

Weather can be a challenge in the fall and winter, so sitting in the sunroom with a hot cup of coffee/tea/cocoa while reading one of the many books available to our guests is a great way to relax and still enjoy the serenity of the lake. We have games for the family to play, DVD's of movies to watch, a pool table and dart board to keep you entertained. With three separate living areas, you should never feel crowded in the house.

If you want to get away and see some of the local sites, I have put together a large notebook of useful information to include where to go golfing; shopping; wine tasting; dining; antiquing; hiking; and gambling. I've done all the research for you. These places and things to do include the surrounding area and Nashville. All the information is located in my notebook in the foyer when you walk in!

If staying indoors and just chilling, my kitchen is perfect for your needs. My kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, cookware, coffee maker, ice-tea maker and water kettle. I supply the coffee pods and teas for my guests.

There is no limit to your vacation entertainment. If you have questions about what to do, where to go, what to bring - I am just a phone call away! My guests are treated with a brief explanation of important details, and then you are left to enjoy your memorable vacation!

Do not miss out on an amazing opportunity to rest, relax, and recharge. Our friends and family have all said this place is amazing. I hope you find it amazing as well. I will gladly answer any questions you may have about my property and the fun to have there!

Great Lake House
Fabulous lake house. Fantastic fishing off dock, fire pit, hot tub, pool table and plenty of room for all. Great value for all the activities and room! Owners were so responsive and helpful- even called a neighbor to help start my car. Couldn’t ask for a better experience. Will definitely be back!

We loved the dock, the water, the porch all of it.
It was a great week on the water. The area is very country, just a small town with one little grocery store. The place was lacking a ladder to get onto the dock after swimming so you had to get help in order to get up. Not everyone would be able to do that. The house was very nice and comfortable.

Family Down Time
We wanted to get away with our kids and my sister and just unplug for a while. This was the perfect place to do just that. There was plenty of room to spread out and plenty for the kids to do. We played darts, pool, and watched a movie every night. The town nearby has anything you would need. We went hiking at a nearby state park and rented a boat for the day nearby. Margaret has a great set up!! I would definitely recommend.

Big Sandy
Well we loved the property. Margaret is wonderful to work with. She’s very upbeat and what hospitality! The home itself had a relaxed vibe. Loved the view from the sun room facing the lake. The little town of Big Sandy has a nice grocery store-Cash Saver. Great prices and owners. Mom and Pops Pizza was delicious. Need ice cream? Homemade baked goods? Go to Adens! Loved that place. And the wildlife refuge you’ve got to stop in and see! Hummingbirds, Bald Eagles we saw sipping coffee on back porch. Wonderful!

Amazing Home
If you are looking for a spacious, clean, well stocked home with a gorgeous view… book this home! My family takes an annual trip for our dad to go fishing. This trip was the best one yet… The house is very clean, the outdoor area is spacious and the hot tub was great after a long day on the lake. The pool table and dart board were a great bonus. We brought our small fishing boat and were able to launch it right down the road (walking distance). The trek down the stairs to the dock from the home is a little long and the “trip” back up can be a little rough on the legs but it’s definitely worth it. Margaret is an amazing host. We hope to return next year!

If you're looking for a sunset view, this is it!
I can't say enough about how great our stay was! The layout of the house was amazing and the kitchen was better stocked and more organized than any rental house I have ever booked before. We enjoyed the hot tub, lake and fire pit and really enjoyed the quiet location and views from the decks. If I had to pick on one thing it would be that there was not a ladder to get up from the water onto the dock and we didn't think to look for this prior to jumping in... hahaha. We made it work, but folks older than us or younger may have issues so plan ahead for that. All in all we would 100% return and recommend this house for a nice getaway!

Fantastic Lakefront Getaway, Perfect for Family or Friends!!
This great property is very well kept with lots of options for all. If you want to relax and read, you can. If you want to go skiing and boating (boat not included) on the lake, you can, with a boat ramp right next door. The rec room is a great hangout with a pool table, darts and 65" tv with satellite. Kitchen is fully equipped with an open layout and everything you could want to prepare food, including a stand-up waffle maker! Three bedrooms sleep 7-8 comfortably. The master bath is a treat with a jacuzzi tub. The owner met us when we arrived and was very helpful, giving us all the details we needed - so helpful in fact that she gave us her cell phone number in case any questions came up. The town of Big Sandy is quiet, but has a grocery store and two dollar stores. If you're looking for super fancy food, you should bring it with you, but the staples are all available. Just a note that in that area, beer and wine are available at grocery stores, but liquor is not. There are towns in two directions about 20 minutes away that have all the big stores (including liquor) that you may want. This is a fantastic destination. We'd love to come here again and definitely recommend it to friends and family!

Bizarre experience
I have mixed emotions about this trip. The location was lovely. We had a wonderful time with our friends on the lake. There were many kid friendly and not so kid friendly aspects to the home. When we arrived, the owner, Margaret, met us there and walked us through the home for 45 minutes explaining how to do things. She had provided groceries and gifts for the kids. She was very kind on arrival but over the top. I have Never had this experience with rentals in the past. I was trying hard to be polite after driving 3 hours with 2 small children. She also returned to the home on our second day as she had forgotten her medications. The home was jam packed with stuff. The kitchen is a hoarders paradise for cooking family meals. There were many glass pieces/candles/extension outlets that I had to put up away from the kids. Many personal items of the owners were out in the open. There was an insulin vial left in a mini fridge and needle left on the bar counter. My husband and I did all that was asked and written down on multiple instruction sheets. She texted us during our stay to make sure we did things properly. We were asked to bag all our trash which everything under my control was done as asked. I just received a text accusing me of not doing so and stating she "wish(es) I could follow a simple direction". Not only am I offended by her abusive language. I regret spending any money staying in her home. Other than that the beds were horribly uncomfortable.

Great property! May not be for your kiddos, though.
Margaret and her husband were great and super communicative and friendly. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again. However, we have kids aged 15 and 10 who were not allowed to use the hot tub, so if you’re coming for the hot tub and have kids this property is not for you. Also, when we arrived we were asked not to allow our son to play pool on the pool table, so if you’re coming to allow the kids to use the pool table this property is not for you. Although these factors were a disappointment to us, in all fairness please read the property’s fine print because the host does say to contact her if you will be bringing kids. Excellent property for couples or groups without kids.

Excellent spot for a family vacation
The house dramatically exceeded expectations. Enough space for a large family and never feel cramped. A hot tub right outside to relax, a short walk down the stairs to swim in the lake, a rec room with a huge TV to watch movies at night. Beds were very comfortable and dining area fully stocked with kitchenware to make meals. Only a five minute drive into town if incidentals were needed. Would recommend highly for anyone looking for a private lake getaway!

Enchanting, Entertaining and Relaxing
You maybe looking at this listing wondering if it’s right for you.... stop looking. You’ve found the place for you and yours. Even if it’s slightly out of where you thought you wanted to be. It’s worth every second of every penny. From cleanliness, to communication there wasn’t anything about the stay at Margaret’s home which wasn’t perfect. The property is gorgeous. The home is comfortable and lets you feel like you belong there. Not like other rentals where you feel out of place. Never did any of me and my group of friends ask “what are we going to do today?” From pool, grilling, hot tub, swimming, boating and exploring we made the most of the home and wanted more. Margaret made sure we were left alone, we had everything we needed, and communicated up until the last minute. I am telling you, don’t pass up the opportunity and make sure you book extra days than you thought you needed. Because you will want them. At the time of writing this, it has been three days and I cannot stop thinking about my stay. I want to go back. Thank you Margaret.
