Perfect lake front cottage! Now with stairs to the water!

Nestled on a private mountain top overlooking Pickwick lake. This cottage was recently completely remodeled and offers the most relaxing stay. This property has beautiful lake views and its secluded spot on the lake, right across from bear creek, will be the perfect lake getaway for a couple or a small family. We have just added stairs down to the water! We also added a dock and a gazebo with amazing views.
There are two public boat ramps conveniently located 5 minutes ( less than a mile ) from property.

Gorgeous water views. Perfect weekend getaway.

My husband and I had the most amazing weekend here! The view from the house was so beautiful. We also brought our boat. The launch was a 3 minute drive away from the house. Launching the boat and keeping it at the house was easy and convenient. It is the perfect weekend getaway.

Perfect little A Frame for a weekend getaway. The host was extremely helpful and the view was amazing. We would definitely stay again! Some reviews mentioned that there was no where close to buy items you might have forgotten but I thought I noticed a little market a mile or two into town.

Perfect lake cottage

We loved the cottage, it was perfect! We loved watching the sunset and the moonlight at night was beautiful on the water. The stairs leading down to the water was so nice the 2 different levels to enjoy! We plan on coming back in the summertime. Thank you to our hosts, they both were so kind!

Heaven on Earth

We had the most wonderful and very special stay at the cabin. The hosts were extremely helpful before we arrived, they answered questions swiftly and gave great recommendations. The view takes your breath away and I got up every morning to watch the sunrise and listen to the wildlife, it was very special and made leaving today very difficult. The cabin is lovely and well kitted out, it had everything we needed. I really could not recommend this place and the hosts enough, amazing, thank you.

Beautiful Views

The view of Pickwick Lake is absolute perfection, especially sunrise. The rental was exactly as described. Clean. We had an issue checking in with the code box. I contacted the owner and she sent someone over immediately. We were in within 20 minutes. Very pleased with our stay! We will stay here again in the future.

Great views

Rented this for a couple nights on our anniversary trip down the Natchez Trace. What a super cute little cottage. Perfect for the two of us but there would have been room for the kids too. We wanted something quiet - and it was. Gorgeous sunrises and sunsets. A little sketch getting down that gravel drive on the motorcycle is my only thing negative that I can say. Would def recommend. Comfy bed, clean and the AC was crankin when we arrived after a long hot day on the bike.

Waterloo cabin

This was our first experience with VRBO, and we were very pleased. The cabin was perfect for us two, and our small family gathering. The stairs to the water were a bit more than we expected, but there is a small deck halfway up perfect for a quick rest. The website gave us the wrong address initially, which set us back a bit, but with some prompt communication with the host, it was remedied and we were on our way. Definitely worth it!!

Our stay was fanatastic! We enjoyed the serene small town and enjoyed visiting Florence near by. Waterloo is a small quiet town, so be prepared to entertain yourself with movies and games as well as evening talks as you gaze out across the moonlit Tennessee River. Enjoy coffee to a beautiful sunrise! Lots of nature trails near by. Be prepared with groceries because stores are nearly 30 minutes one way. The host makes checking in easy and responds if you message. The cottage is clean and exceeded my expectations.

Wonderful Experience

The accommodations were wonderful. The property was clean and extremely nice with very thoughtful amenities. The view is spectacular, especially at sunset and the whole place is such a peaceful setting. Cell service is great, but WiFi is also available. There are plenty of places to sit and enjoy the deck by the water. Would highly recommend.
