Owner credibility
The Little Lake House is a quiet mountain-modern cabin on a private wooded acre near Center Hill Lake, designed for sunrise mornings, easy lake access, and peaceful time away, located along the Tennessee Scenic Byway. Whether you are flying into Nashville International (BNA) or driving over from downtown, both just a 60-minute trip. This 1,175 sq. ft. sanctuary is the ultimate destination for design enthusiasts, remote professionals, and families.
The Direct Value Advantage
The price you see is the price you pay—no "checkout shock," just pure value for a high-end stay.
The Sunrise Treehouse Experience
Life in the Canopy: Wake up above the trees. Our high roofline and expansive vaulted windows are precision-aligned to frame the sunrise over the water every morning.
Total Privacy: You have an entire wooded acre to yourself. It’s a quiet, secluded setting that blurs the line between a designer interior and the surrounding forest.
The Golden Hour Deck: A massive wraparound space tailored for morning coffee and evening silence, complete with a hammock for slow afternoons and a private fire pit (we provide the firewood).
High-Performance Living
Executive-Grade Wi-Fi: 576 Mbps Fiber (Airbnb Verified). High-stakes video calls and 4K streaming are seamless in the canopy.
Single-Level Luxury: The layout is entirely one floor with zero interior stairs. It’s an effortless, open-concept space that offers total peace of mind for families.
Full Chef’s Kitchen: This is a proper kitchen for real cooking, featuring a full-sized stove and oven, dishwasher, microwave, and a dedicated coffee station.
Family Ready: We’ve lightened your load—a Pack ‘n Play is available on-site for the younger guests.
Location & Logistics
Effortless Water Access: You are just 400 yards (a 1-minute drive) from the public boat launch. Skip the marina crowds and be on the water in minutes.
Trailer-Friendly: Our extra-long driveway easily accommodates multiple vehicles and boat trailers up to 16ft.
The Gateway: You’re minutes from the area’s premier waterfalls, hiking trails, and local breweries, with the Appalachian Center for Crafts just down the road.
The Details
For rainy days or quiet nights, enjoy the arcade cabinet, smart projector, and curated board game library. The home is equipped with central HVAC, an indoor fireplace, and a full laundry suite with detergent provided. Check-in is seamless via smart lock, and your privacy is paramount—we only use exterior security cameras to monitor the entry and driveway.
