Wake to the sun lifting over Center Hill Lake, coffee in hand, from your own modern tree-house on a private, wooded acre. The Little Lake House pairs designer interiors with honest-to-goodness nature—then sweetens the deal by covering the Airbnb guest service fee so the nightly rate you see is the rate you pay.

Effortless Water Access: You are 5 minute walk (400 yards) or a 1-minute drive from the public boat launch, as well as from swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding and fishing - or finding a quiet spot to swim along the shoreline. Skip the marina crowds and be on the water in minutes.

The Space
• 1,175 sq. ft. single-level home—no interior stairs
• Floor-to-ceiling windows tuned to the sunrise and lake horizon
• Wraparound deck with hammock, sun loungers, grill, and fire pit (firewood provided)
• Central heat & A/C plus an indoor fireplace for all-season comfort
• 576 Mbps fiber Wi-Fi (Airbnb-verified) keeps work calls and 4K streaming glitch-free

Amenities
– Arcade cabinet, smart projector, board-game library, and books for rainy-day fun
– Full laundry suite with detergent
– Free parking on premises; driveway long enough for two vehicles plus a boat trailer (up to 16 ft.)
– Smart-lock self-check-in; exterior security cameras monitor only the driveway and entry

Bedrooms & Bathrooms
Bedroom 1: Queen bed, vaulted ceiling, sunrise view
Bedroom 2: Queen bed, forest view
Bathrooms: Two full baths stocked with plush towels and essentials, so no waiting in line after a swim
Pack ’n Play provided for little travelers

Kitchen & Dining
A chef-friendly kitchen—not a kitchenette. You’ll find a full-size stove, oven, dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator, cooking basics, sharp knives, plenty of cookware, and a dedicated coffee and tea station. Serve your creations at the dining table or take them outside to the deck’s outdoor dining set under the trees.

Neighborhood
We’re tucked just off the Tennessee Scenic Byway, giving you that away-from-it-all feeling without isolation. BNA Airport and downtown Nashville are an easy 60-minute drive, making weekend escapes simple.

Nearby Attractions
• 0.2-mile stroll (or 1-minute drive) to the public boat ramp and swim area—skip the marina crowds
• Minutes to famed waterfalls, hiking trails, and the Appalachian Center for Crafts
• Local breweries and small-town eateries within a short drive—ask us for our favorites

Why You’ll Love It
1. True value: we absorb the Airbnb guest service fee—no checkout shock.
2. Complete privacy: a full acre of wooded land is yours alone.
3. Work-from-anywhere ready: executive-grade Wi-Fi and a dedicated workspace.
4. Designed for families and couples alike: single-level layout, Pack ’n Play, and no party policy ensure peace and quiet.
5. Superhost, Guest Favorite, and a perfect 5-star track record after every stay.

Getting on the Water
You have two great options right at your fingertips.
1. The Local Launch: Puckett Point
Just a 5-minute walk/1 minute drive from the house!
Directions: Take a right out of the driveway and head to the end of the road. Well maintained paved ramp with free paved parking.
The Vibe: This is the perfect spot to launch your boat, kayak, or paddleboard. It’s also a great local "hidden gem" for a quick swim or an afternoon of fishing.
Note: This is a public "put in" point with no dock, so it's best for those who prefer a quick, natural entry to the water.

2. The Full-Service Spot: Hurricane Marina
A short 10 minute drive from the house.
Amenities: This is a premier marina on the lake. It's home to a great restaurant, a ship store for snacks and supplies, and full restroom facilities.
Rentals: If you didn't bring your own boat, this is where you can rent premium pontoons and water toys to make the most of your stay.

Good to Know
• One dog up to 30 lbs—or two totaling 50 lbs—welcome with a $60/pet fee. Larger pets considered with prior approval. Crate required if unattended; pet fee doesn’t cover damage.
• No parties, large gatherings, or unregistered guests; quiet hours 10 p.m.–8 a.m.
• Rural lake life means seasonal changes in water levels, wildlife, insects, and utilities; these are outside our control.
• We strongly recommend travel insurance for weather, illness, or other unexpected events.
