What an awesome place for our family.
This was an ideal place for our family to be together. There was lots of spaces we could use to play games. Plenty of space we could find sanctuary to be alone when we needed to be. We would stay there again in a moment.

Family Christmas celebration
Very comfortable and welcoming home. We found everything we needed and more. It was a great location for family from Nashville, Chattanooga and Atlanta to join our part of the family that live in Calera AL which is only a half hour away. Love it and glad we choose this house!

Great family place.
Plenty of room and comfortable accommodations for extended families. Options for each person to just chill on one of the decks or fish or paddle board or kayak or just watch TV.

Beautiful spot for a small wedding or gathering!
Chip’s place is a beautiful, peaceful lake front property with SO much space. We held rehearsal and a small wedding/reception here with about 50-60 people and the wedding party was able to stay here for the weekend (about 20 people) and it slept everyone comfortably! The kitchen is beautiful and huge and has everything you would need and there was a large, beautiful dining room table. It has several bathrooms and is equipped with a washer and dryer (and plenty of towels/wash rags/etc). The check in and checkout process was super simple. Chip was very responsive and overly accommodating and we could not have asked for a better host. The fire pit was a big hit on the chilly nights. The patio was everyone’s favorite place because of the beautiful views of the lake and the serene setting. The living room was very cozy and the guys enjoyed the setting to kick back and watch football. We will never forgot the memories made here, and I would highly recommend this gem to anyone!!

This house is amazing!
We truly enjoyed our stay at this property. There were plenty of beds for us to spread out and the deck and lake view was wonderful. We look forward to booking this property again next year for our Board's retreat and meeting.

Weekend Getaway
We had a wonderful time. The house was clean and well stocked. The children loved the dock and lake area and the adults loved all of the areas to gather and enjoy the company. We decided we would love to stay again next summer.
