About this property

Center Hill ~ Best View On Lake ~ 3 Decks & Hot Tub

Privately set on a ridge with an unobstructed year round view of Center Hill Lake, 'Due West' is a custom three level cabin. This spacious cabin is a perfect getaway for several couples or multiple families. The main living area has wooden beams throughout with stunning lake views from all rooms.

'Due West', is located on Center Hill Lake, 72 miles from Nashville, Tennessee and 15 miles from shopping and numerous restaurants in near by Cookeville, Tennessee. The cabin is within minutes of Cookeville boat dock marina which offers overnight slip rentals by the day, boat rentals, and a wonderful restaurant well known for their delicious food and homemade pies.

This rustic cabin is wonderfully decorated, boasting numerous antiques and furnishings constructed out of reclaimed timber, some from the old Jim Beam distillery in nearby Kentucky. All bedrooms feature luxury linens including 300+ thread count sheets, down comforters and pillows. Comfortably from any one of the three decks you can sun, grill, dine, enjoy music, soak in the hot tub while watching the sunset and stargazing. The (provided) telescope will give you a guided tour of the universe. The main living room has a 55" LCD TV with satellite TV, DVD player and a cozy fireplace. In the bonus room we have an additional 40" flat panel TV with DVD, wet bar and wifi internet. Just outside the bonus room is a free standing hand chiseled stone fire pit with wooden benches.

The master bedroom has a wall of windows including a large picture window which looks out over the lake. Imagine waking up in the 'Big Boss Man' king-size bed hand-crafted from Cypress timber obtained from a 150 year old Mississippi barn. Then enjoying breakfast from your own private deck while soaking in the tranquility of the lake.

There are two bedrooms located on the third level, both having large picture windows overlooking the lake. (king bedroom and bunk bedroom) The third bedroom is located on the first level ( queen bedroom) adjacent to the bonus room, bar and bathroom.

Center Hill Lake offers excellent fishing, swimming, waterfalls, hiking, and water skiing. Bring hiking boots and enjoy dozens of trails and fun. A pair of bald eagles have nested directly across from the cabin on Davies Island. The eagles can regularly be seen catching fish and flying in the area. The nest is visible from the balcony off the master bedroom through the provided telescope.

Your search is over....you have found the perfect cabin on Center Hill lake!!

NOTE: The exterior of the home is monitored by a Blink security system. The cameras are located on the exterior doors of the home.

Lovely Cabin Style Home

The house is cozy and lots of room. The living room needs more couches for everyone to sit on (we had to use table chairs). Kitchen had everything we needed. The bathrooms are bare and I recommend you bring your own toiletries and shampoos. Overall we really enjoyed it. The neighborhood that we had to pass thru to get to the house is pretty shady, but we just drove through to get to town. Overall, it was very cabin like and we enjoyed it. Don’t expect any upgrades.

Gorgeous cabin and view of lake!

This cabin has it all. It has plenty of sleeping areas including extra beds. The main bedroom is beautiful with it's own balcony looking over the lake. There are 3 full bathrooms which is nice with multiple families. The downstairs "basement" is more like it's own apartment, with a living room, full bathroom and bedroom. The firepit has the best location with the best view. It's not as secluded as I thought it would be or liked, but the neighbors were nice and quiet. I loved how the host included everything, including shampoo and soap. I would definitely recommend.

Very Dirty and Stinky. Not at all like the pictures.

This cabin used to be nice many years ago. We had to spend the first day of vacation cleaning and buying new bed sheets and towels as theirs were nasty and not clean. Infested with bugs as well. The owners answer was to send a cleaning lady and exterminator when we were staying there. Not a solution at all. Our stay was awful and not worth the high price at all.

Perfect getaway with gorgeous views

The photos don’t do this place justice—sweeping views of the water you have to see to appreciate and lots of space! With two couples, we had tons of space to spread out. Easy to get to, and yet feels away from it all. The host was communicative, and the directions were clear. We also appreciated the reliable Internet.

No wood on premises for fireplace or fire pit. The owners HVAC tech came bc we reported a leak & he had access to the property hidden key..walked right in the front locked door! Not cool!! owners left a spare key unbeknownst to us. Everything in the area was closed for the season, which was the last week of September. Great porch views. Drive in is tricky one lane gravel 1.5 miles. Rustic home

We’ll be back!!

Had a wonderfuuuul week at this stunning lake house. Of course first off that view! Enjoyed the fire pit which also overlooks the lake. We went boating one day. Fishing at the local dock with the kids and saw some gorgeous water falls. Home was comfy, kitchen had everything we needed and the deck was our favorite gathering place. We will return, God willing.

Our family traveled for a weekend wedding in Baxter. The views from the decks are amazing and such a great place to gather and relax. Plenty of space for our family, no main floor bedroom so difficult for those who may have trouble with stairs.

Indifferent

The host is lovely. He is very responsive and helpful. I was allowed to check in early after that. I’m most appreciative. Thank you. Upon arriving, the outside camera was lying face down on the bench. The house itself is beautiful and large and very spacious. We could have easily slept more than the five people that we did. This allowed us to spread out and have our own privacy and just enjoy room! I went in and opened up all of the blinds before my guests arrived because it was quite dark in the house and wasn’t very inviting. The shelf in the refrigerator was broken. Basically, there was no shelf. Also the bottom shelf on the door was just nonexistent. An average size refrigerator is too small for a group of people. We had to go out and purchase duct tape and put the shelf together because we absolutely needed to have it. The kitchen area has a beautiful view, but I do wish that housekeeping would have paid more attention to wiping things down. Every cabinet and drawer that was opened, you could feel crud. There was also food left in the freezer from the previous tenants. The view is outstanding. It would be very easy to ditch plans and just hang out on the porch all day. The hot tub was oily and sandy on the bottom, was gross. The washing machine was terribly challenging to figure out. We washed our sheets, but I’m just hoping that they were able to dry in time. After several attempts at the AC, it never got below 74 overnight, not sure I would stay here again.

As advertised.

What a great cabin that was very much as advertised. The view of the lake was just as beautiful as the pictures. The cabin has a very consistent rustic theme throughout the house. And there are plenty of different areas (Inside and out) to sit and relax comfortably. The weather was great for us so we ate all our meals at the table on the big porch. The only slight disappointments 1. The kayaks have to be transported somewhere to put in the lake. We assumed lake access but this lake itself is not set up for that (the benefit is a beautiful coastline). 2. The refrigerator only has two shelves, but is newer and very clean. Overall we were very happy and would recommend this place.

Why they chose this property

We walked in the home and the view blew us away. My wife and I literally bought 'Due West' during our first visit to the home! We looked at Center Hill properties for over a year and knew immediately that this home had everything we dreamed of in a lake house. It is our pleasure to share it with you!

What makes this property unique

Our cabin, is the very tastefully decorated. We are confident that you won't find a better view of the lake on Center Hill!!
