Very Accommodating
The cabin was wonderfully equipped with everything our family needed for our weeks stay at the lake. Communication from the host was great and we really enjoyed our time there! If you are bringing a boat/trailer, just be mindful that the road in and out is a steep and narrow gravel, mountain road. If you don’t have experience maneuvering on roads like that, you may want to leave the boat at home and rent one from the marina.

Outstanding
The home was very well appointed from beginning to end and communication with the host spot on. What I appreciated most was the simplified check out process. I've booked many short term rentals in the past and none were this streamlined. I wouldn't hesitate to stay at this home again in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Jeremy Quarles

Host profile image
Hi! We are the Quarles. We love to spend time as a family, explore the outdoors, travel, and experience other cultures. We are both big readers and love history, which adds to our love of travel. We are also passionate about creating spaces that invite togetherness, rest, rejuvenation, and a sense of peace. We hope if you stay in one of our properties you will find this to be true!

Why they chose this property

We love visiting Center Hill Lake and the surrounding state parks! With so much to offer, you could explore this area for weeks at a time! Or if you don't have quite that much time, the close proximity to Nashville (right around an hour) makes this the perfect place for a quick getaway. The lake itself is nestled beautifully among the rolling hills of Tennessee. The water is clear and inviting, perfect for swimming, boating, fishing, or just lounging by the water.

The surrounding state parks are where the real adventure begins. Edgar Evins State Park is located just down the lake from the cottage. It's like stepping into a postcard with its lush forests, towering bluffs, and miles of hiking trails. Plus, there are plenty of spots for a picnic or a stroll along the lake shore.

If you're up for a short drive, don't miss out on Burgess Falls State Park. Here, you'll find some of the most breathtaking waterfalls in the state. The main attraction is Burgess Falls itself, a 136-foot cascade that will leave you speechless. There are also smaller falls and cascades scattered throughout the park, each one more beautiful than the last.

And let's not forget about Rock Island State Park. This place is a true hidden gem with its rugged terrain, scenic overlooks, and fascinating history. Be sure to check out the Great Falls, where you can watch the mighty Caney Fork River plunge 30 feet into the gorge below. It's a sight you won't soon forget.

Perhaps the best thing about Center Hill Lake and the surrounding state parks is the sense of peace they offer. There's something truly special about being surrounded by nature, far away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. So whether you're seeking adventure or simply a place to unwind, you'll find it all right here in this little corner of Tennessee. Welcome to paradise!
