Lake Life!

The thing I love most about our home is our amazing sunrises. It’ll feel like you’re 1,000,000 miles from civilization when you’re just tucked away on a semi-private lake. Enjoy fishing, swimming, boating, floating, sun bathing, or just simply relaxing. We are only 10 minutes from shopping, restaurants, golf courses, parks and hiking, and several major wedding venues. We are 20 minutes from downtown chattanooga and major city attractions including Rock City, Ruby Falls, Chattanooga Aquarium, Chattanooga Zoo, Cherokee National Forest, the Ocoee River, and much more. Our lake season is limited to six months. April through October. You will always have amazing water views and sunrises, but water activities may be limited during the off-season.

We are pet friendly for smaller, house broken, cage trained pets, but please ask about our pet fee.

Come see why we love Chattanooga and choose to call Ooltewah our home. This is a private access, basement apartment in my home. We live upstairs. But you'll have all the privacy you want and need for a great vacation with your own private driveway, private entrance, and private hot tub, and fire pit. The pool is heated during spring and fall, and the kayak and paddle board are free to use. There is a wave runner for rent at an additional fee if you choose. The bed swing makes for great afternoon naps, and the lounge chairs are the perfect setting for a sun tan.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned apartment, which features a fireplace. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator and a microwave. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected.
Enjoy recreational amenities such as an outdoor pool and a hot tub.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

“Our stay at this lakeside VRBO was absolutely wonderful. The space was clean, comfortable, and very private, making it the perfect spot to relax and recharge. The amenities were top-notch — we loved having access to the pool, hot tub, paddle board, and kayak. The option to rent a jet ski was an added bonus. Waking up to the sunrises and lake view each morning was a highlight, and everything about the property felt well thought out and welcoming. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful and fun getaway”

My experience: Terrible. The property: As advertised. We arrived on our check in date around 8 pm after a long drive only to find that the host was hosting guests upstairs for a party and had completely forgotten that we were checking in. The bed was not made, trash cans were overflowing and personal items from a previous guests were left in the bathroom. We messaged the host several times to avoid having to go knock on the door but received no response. Once we went up and knocked on the door, we realized that both hosts were very intoxicated. Amidst their intoxication, they promised to give us a full refund and to pay for the hotel that we had to get that night. While they did refund us part of the stay, the taxes and cleaning fees were not refunded and they refused to pay for the hotel like they promised. The worst part about the stay was not the mistake that was made but the way we were attacked when trying to collect what they promised. Things ended with me being accused of black mail...We did nothing wrong... We will not be coming back. People show their true colors when mistakes happen, the hosts handled the situation very poorly.

Great place

A lovely place, closer to the places we wanted to visit like Chattanooga etc but not directly in town. The place was neat, access to pool and paddle board was nice, definitely a nice place for someone who likes to fish as well.

Nice weekend getaway

We had a wonderful time! The location is stunning! We particularly enjoyed having breakfast down by the lake and relaxing in the hot tub! One suggestion we have is to make the entrance more visible or direct us toward the back of the house on check in instructions. Also, the fire pit would lite but would not stay lit. Thanks for the nice stay!
