Lakefront Seclusion! - UPDATED! Dock, Hot tub, fire pit, pet friendly with fee,

3 bedroom, 3 bath
High Speed Internet - 1000 MBPS

Welcome to Mullins Cove. Relax on the large back deck or private dock and enjoy the scenic views of your own personal river and mountain getaway. Bring your boat or other water craft or rent one at the nearby marina. If you plan on bringing a boat, please contact us. A boat that has a deep draft may not be accessible to Mullins Cove.

There are 3 bedrooms, each with their own bath. The master has a king bed and is located on the upper level in addition to a living area with a sleeper sofa. The lower level has the kitchen, dining, main living room, game area along with the other two bedrooms, one with a king and one with a queen. Both downstairs bedrooms have on-suite bathrooms. There are two twin air mattresses for additional sleeping. We have satellite TV and Wi-Fi. Some cell service is patchy due to location and surrounding mountains. The kitchen is fully stocked with appliances, utensils, spices and condiments. We’ve provided plenty to keep you busy: corn hole, dart board, board games, cards, and books. If getting off the grid and relaxing in a beautiful setting is what you are looking for, then Canyon Cove is the place for you. The nearest shopping is 15-20 min away, so come prepared with groceries and supplies.

Canyon Cove is just 20ft from the water’s edge on a gently sloping lot. A wet weather spring flows through the professionally landscaped property into the lake. The house comes with boat dock, gas grill, fire pit (firewood provided), hot tub, and a gas fireplace in the den. Mullins Cove is an excellent location for fishing. The swimming situation is limited. The water level at the end of our dock varies from 3-5 feet and is controlled by the TVA. Unfortunately, everyone located on any Tennessee River waterway downstream of Chattanooga and into Alabama are affected by a non native invasive plant called Eurasian Milfoil. By mid-late July it takes over the shorelines and shallow areas of the Tn river. We spend significant amounts of time and money each year to keep our dock area clear, but by summers end it is sometimes a losing battle.

Mullins Cove is a 200+ acre lake/cove is fed by 11 mountain springs and the fishing is world class. A bait shop is at the interstate exit, so bring your fishing poles. Mullins Cove is in the heart the Tennessee River Gorge, a scenic causeway surrounded by 1,800 ft. mountains and cliffs, highest on the 650 miles of The Tennessee River. The scenic terrain of the Tennessee River Gorge creates a unique diversity of land forms. The bird watching is incredible here, especially water fowl. Other attractions close by are: Prentice Cooper State Park, rock climbing at the T Wall, hang gliding, paddle the Sequatchie River, South Cumberland State Park, Foster Falls, Racoon Mountain Caverns, Ketners Mill.

Load up the family and visit downtown Chattanooga which offers such attractions as the Chattanooga Aquarium, Creative Discovery Museum, Chattanooga Lookouts, Historic Bluff View Art District, an array of restaurants, and many other attractions. Just a little further is where you will find Ruby Falls, Rock City, and the Incline Railway. All of which are just 40 minutes away!

Parking is limited to 3 cars.

A Very Peaceful 5-day Getaway!
This is a Very Nice home that is just steps away from a beautiful, serene cove, the perfect place for visiting with family as we did! The two boys (ages 10 and 11) spent most of their time either in the water or fishing with Mom closely watching over them, while the two of us (Nana and Papa) mostly watched from the house because it was a bit hotter than we had expected. However, all rooms (except for one bedroom and the bathrooms) took advantage of the lake view, so we could keep an eye on them from virtually anywhere! The only thing I would caution future guests about is that there is a fair stretch of rough road and gravel driveways, so if you have a low-clearance car or one without AWD or 4WD you might check with the owner to make sure you won't have any issues, particularly exiting the driveway. Otherwise, I would recommend this property to anyone!

I can’t describe how wonderful and peaceful this home is. We watched 2 bald eagles eat. We caught catfish. It is just the most beautiful spot I have ever seen. The home is so awesome!

Great for big group
This was a very clean home with enough towels and comfy bed. Not crazy about the drive from Chattanooga. It is a good ways and curvy roads. The driveway is steep and if more than two vehicles it will be very tight. We knew about the stairs but they are very steep too and you need to be very careful! If someone is not able to climb stairs or in a wheelchair, this would not be the house for you. The door lock needs to be replaced!!! We struggled the entire time with it because we had to use the key which was tricky and hard to take out. The door lock is old and needs to be replaced! Other than that it is a beautiful view and if you have a large group the three bathrooms are wonderful!

Choose Canyon Cove if You Can
Everything about our stay at Canyon Cove exceeded our expectations. Brad is an amazing host with a beautiful property that was perfect for our family. We had 5 adults and 2 teens in our group with a perfect amount of space to be comfortable and relax. The lake views are stunning and the pictures of the property don’t do it justice. It would be a mistake to skip out on the opportunity to stay here if you have the chance. Thank you Brad for an amazing weekend for our family! We couldn’t have asked for a better time!

Fabulous & Relaxing
Six adults stayed for 3 nights. The house was just wonderful! Very clean! 3 bedrooms each with en suite full baths. Well stocked with paper products and nice kitchenware, spices, cooking utensils, full sized fridge, nice oven and microwave. The outside deck was roomy and we put great use to the gas grill every day. Fun outdoor games and fire pit. We never did use the hot tub but it looked great. The view was amazing- morning, afternoon and evening. Nearby we visited Lookout Winery and Dam Distillery. Such a beautiful area! One day we drove into Chattanooga, and visited the River front (45 min drive) None of us wanted to leave, we enjoyed our stay so much! Brad was great to work with and very accommodating. Highly recommend and hope to visit again!!

Peaceful Waterfront Stay
Nice property to enjoy some relaxation. The house had everything you need and was super clean. It definitely takes a while to get to it from the interstate. Our only complaints are about the sofa bed mattress and the odor in the house. The mattress is too thin for any adult sized person to sleep on it, so my 17 year old had to sleep on the couch downstairs. The odor I'm referring to is the strong smell of old fireplace smoke in the downstairs area. My son and I both have asthma and it really affected both of us. Other than those things, the house is set up for a nice, relaxing (or fun) time.

Fantastic house with a fantastic location
Brad was great with communication leading up to the dates we'd be staying and throughout the stay as well if we had questions. The house was in great condition and very clean. It's a gorgeous property set on the lake with amazing views and a great deck as well covered boat slip you can relax on. Amenities in the house were all accurate as listed, WiFi worked great and sleeping arrangements were very comfortable. My friends and I had a great time and would highly recommend this property!

Loved it so much!!!!
We didn’t want to leave! The setting for this sweet lake house is absolutely breathtaking and so peaceful. The beds were so comfortable, the game room area and outside space absolutely perfect for us! We saw eagles and osprey and lots of ducks and geese. The dogs were worn out from all the new sights and sounds! We all loved our stay so much!

Business and personal getaway
We had an amazing stay, even with the bad weather and loss of power, we couldn’t have asked for a better place or host. Brad checked in on us constantly during the weather incident and continued to go above and beyond while we were without power. We will be back, beautiful views and an extremely warm and welcoming home.
