Perfect place for us to hang out between hunting. Enough space to spread out and the game room downstairs was perfect for pool tournaments and the card table was great for our family poker games.

Perfect family getaway
This was a perfect place with everything we needed for our family of seven. The downstairs space was a great area to hang out and play games and relax. This is an old property that has been fixed up nicely, but definitely has signs of wear and tear just from being a vacation rental and an older property. This was fine with me as it made me less nervous about being there with my young children. The beds were extremely comfortable, in fact, more comfortable than my own at home. If you’re looking for a spot to relax with plenty to do inside to keep busy, this is a perfect place. I highly recommend this and definitely will try to come back again.

Lots to do
Overall, the property is beautiful. Plenty of space with lots to do. There was 13 of us and we were never bored. Beautiful property on the river. Enjoued movies, poll table, cards, hot tub, kayaking, fishing, and smores. Only thing that couldve been better was the mattresses on the fold out couches. We loved it.

3 day weekend
Great place and sweet setup. Easy walk down to the water although it was very high. We brought our own smoker and pizza oven and just lounged around the house and played cornhole and pool. The cat from other reviews I read showed up and hung out all weekend as well. Utilized the hot tub which was clean and easy to operate. Only knock on it is the kitchen sink easily clogs but will drain if you run the dishwasher.

Blessed!
Wow, God is so good. We are traveling and have 5 grandkids 8-16 in Clarksville TN. We decided to rent this home as it seemed as though it would be a good fit. Plus it was right on the lake, with a screened porch!It was the perfect fit for all of us! Our host was working and blessed all of us. The kids loved the pool table, my husband and kids loved the kayak and lake. And of course, some of the kids and I loved the screened in porch. Thank you again for a wonderful time. We hope to be back one day.Smile, Janet

Perfect Family Retreat
Kayaking, floating, swimming, fire pit, hot tub, screened porch, upper open deck (with visits from a sweet heart of a cat Elijah), charcoal grill, poker table, pool table, bar, and other things for entertainment. However, this place is also set up for personal space and r&r if that’s what you are seeking. We loved it here.

This beautiful house had everything we needed! We literally could have shown up with only the clothes on our backs and would have had everything we needed! The house was immaculate and spacious. We also got lots of visits from Elijah, a neighborhood cat! He was the sweetest boy! We will definitely be staying here again!

The house is beautiful and comes with everything you need. Jason is very responsive to your needs and questions. As some have said in prior reviews, a third bathroom downstairs would be a nice addition. Overall it was a great experience and getaway for our family.

Pristine Lakeview Home
We loved this property and all the amenities it had to offer. It offered a gorgeous lake view from the deck. The property was well stocked. My only issue was that the kitchen sink kept clogging...no garbage disposal, so it would just remain clogged for up to several hours before it would all drain. Other then that....it was a joy!!!

Beautiful retreat
As many have said, internet is slow but who goes to northern TN for internet access? House was beautiful and we enjoyed exploring the area with what was open in these uncertain times. May want to do a deep cleaning, however. We noticed a lot of dust on the fans which makes me think their Housecleaner attention to disinfection may not be up to standards.

Nice family getaway!
Location and house met our needs. LOTS of sleeping arrangement options with multiple pullout couches, mattresses under beds, and trundle bed. Kitchen and laundry room were well stocked with plenty of cleaning supplies and trash bags. Coffee pods, sweetener packets, spices in kitchen. Gas grill was convenient. Bathrooms stocked with shampoo, conditioner, makeup wipes, and body wash. The listing stated the hot tub was out of order. I messaged the host/property manager upon booking asking if it would be in order during our dates and never received a response. The hot tub appeared to be working fine upon arrival, but we didn't use it without knowing if we were supposed to. House could use a deep clean, but overall it was clean. Just needs some attention to fans, cabinets, cobwebs, etc. The access to the water (lake) was not good. We did use the kayaks which was nice, but had to trek through mud to launch. Launching was not easy from the property. Fishing wasn't possible from the property due to the muddy bank. Swimming was also not possible for the same reason. We enjoyed the basement area the most, playing games and pool. The fire pit area was convenient and the screened in porch area off of the basement was nice to avoid mosquitoes. The deck was nice and big, but very limited view of the water. Would definitely stay here again, but our preference is for better access to the water for fishing, swimming, etc. Overall the house had plenty of space for everyone!

Perfect Family Getaway!
Words cannot express how beautiful this home is. I was pleasantly shocked that the listing was so accurate. The wrap around deck is to die for. The patio furniture is so nice. The view is beautiful and so peaceful. The kitchen comes fully stocked with literally everything you need. The laundry room is every woman's dream. The jacuzzi tub in the master bath was so relaxing. The decor was so beautiful. The den downstairs was a huge hit with the grown kids. They loved the pool table, the card table, the big screen tv. The comfy sectional was awesome! The hot tub was so nice! The downstairs screened in patio with the hanging lights was beautiful. There are big screen smart tvs throughout! I just cant describe how much we fell in love with the home. So a few things I think it could use....a chair for the master bedroom. A couple more kayaks because we had to take turns using them. With that being said my family loveddddd the kayaking. Some bigger bowls in the kitchen for cereal. So as you can see those are just a few little things I personally would like. But those things would never keep me from staying here again! I would recommend bringing bug spray. The mosquitos are awful but that's to be expected by water. If you wanna go swimming Paris Landing is about a 30 minute drive away and it's free public swimming at the Cumberland River and has a nice roped off spot that isn't too deep. Thank you for such a wonderful stay!

Not what we expected
Our stay was not the best. I had emailed the owner about a marina to rent a boat and never heard back from them. The spot for the trailer had a jet ski in it so we could not use it. The driveway is very steep. We were unable to use the deck due to the very large holes in it. The gas grill is rotted out and you could see the deck through it. There must be fish in an outside trash can because the smell was terrible and lots of flies. The downstairs stereo didn’t work so we were unable to watch tv. The gaps in the loft railing are very large and our 1.5 year olds could easily fit through them (giving me quite a terrifying experience). The upstairs master fan only had one setting so it was hot. Other things that are out of the owners control but, others should be aware of: there are cats who roam free, the neighbors dogs bark a lot in their outside cage, a large possum likes to hang out on the deck, and the power likes to go out. The kitchen was well stocked, the hot tub was nice, and it was mostly peaceful. The downstairs sun room was nice and we enjoyed the pool table. I would just highly not recommend if you have small children between the loft railings and the large deck holes.
