Come enjoy life on “The River”!

Paradise on the Cumberland River! Fish, Hike, Birdwatch, RELAX! 1,300 sq ft of awesome home perched above the trout filled Cumberland River. Watch the Otters, soring Eagles and listen to the owls, tree frogs and coyotes at night. We are about 5 miles down river from Burkesville and 38 miles downstream from Cumberland Lake. Twenty minutes from Sulphur Springs-Dale Hollow, forty minutes from Wolf Creek Dam and Hatchery Creek. The house is Victorian on the outside and cabin on the inside. The upstairs has a loft with a futon, upstairs bedroom has a queen bed and a pullout couch, shower and laundry. Downstairs Bedroom is a double bed, pullout couch and Full bath. The living room has a pullout couch and two oversized chairs surrounding the fireplace. My wife decorated this and I will tell you, you will love this place. There is a front porch with a swing, back deck has been replaced with a stunning concrete patio overlooking the river. There is also a small herb and vegetable garden to use.

Relax by the fire, pitch horseshoes or nap in the Hammock down by the river. Cards, cribbage, corn hole, crokinole and a dartboard if you like games. AC, Heat, Galley Kitchen, indoor fireplace, washer/dryer, sheets, pillows and towels. There is also wifi, Internet TV ROKU and plenty of DVD movies.

You can use the boat ramp that adjoins the property it is a community ramp that we maintain. You won't see the boat activity down here that you see in the first 15 miles down from Wolf Creek Dam, six boats a day is a lot. This a great base camp for large trout, striper and walleye. We love to fish and occasionally we keep one for the pan. The river is coming back from the construction project and the fishing is getting better and better.

We are pet lovers. If you want to bring your animals its ok with us. There is cat box in the upstairs bathroom closet. Food and water bowls inside and outside. Just bring food. If the dogs are going to be left behind and may ruin something please crate them.

There is no smoking or vaping in the house. If you need to smoke do it outside and please don't leave butts in the grass or fire pit. If you have questions call me.

The house had everything we needed , the ac was amazing and the location amazing. I only wish I had more time to enjoy the quiet and read more books. Thank you for amazing time and packer came by and my pup who usually isn’t social did not have any issue with him. Thank you again.

A tucked away getaway
This little house tucked way back off the road was a quiet retreat. The views from the desk were great. Wished we could have more direct access to the water from the property but my husband still fished from the bank.

Privacy and Comfort
This large house is Victorian on the outside and cabin themed on the inside. Plenty of space to accommodate several people. The owners welcome your pets! Tall windows bring in light throughout the house. The backyard was my favorite place. Cumberland River can be seen from several vantage points. A large gas grill and a clay oven can be accessed off the back deck. I loved sitting at the table in the morning drinking my coffee and taking in nature. Plenty of wildlife. We saw hummingbirds, as well as other birds. We saw two baby rabbits and dragonflies. There is a Horseshoe pit, a two- person hammock and a picnick table on the lower level of the back yard. The owner carved a large fish out of a broken tree on the lower level. Very relaxing atmosphere, but a family retreat or a group of fishermen/women would find this a perfect place. Although you are close to the river, it is too steep to fish from the property. However, the boat ramp is a very short drive from the house. The owners are very friendly and accommodating. This is a private home so if peace and quiet is what you're looking for, I would recommend this home. You are close to the town of Burkesville and just a short drive to SulfurCreek Resort with access to Dale Hollow.

Great Stay on the Cumberland!
My wife and I and our two dogs stayed at the house from July 7th-12th and all I can say is AMAZING. The property is just so beautiful and peaceful. The owners, Gregg and Gaylene, could not have been more friendly and accommodating. Gregg coached me on how to use the pizza oven (which was a blast) and we used the fire pit to cook over an open fire another night. He also took me out fly fishing and put me on the trout all day, which was a great experience for my first time fishing the Cumberland. I mentioned to him that my wife has an obsession with plants and he dug up a few for her to take home and delivered them in pots the day we left. 100% 5-star experience and we will be back!
