About this property

Back Your Boat Into Center Hill Lake From Our Home! Swim, Fish, Hunt, Relax!

We would love to share our beautiful home on Center Hill Lake with you and your family! It is very unique in that it is one of only a few homes on the lake located on the water. You can, literally, back your boat from the house right into the water. While spending the day out boating you can drop off anyone who needs a rest at the house and then pick them back up with ease. It is a 50 yard paved walk to the boat launch!
The home is two levels. It has 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, but has beds for 10. The upstairs has a covered back porch for easy parking and handicap access. You can actually access both the upstairs of the home and the downstairs without using stairs if needed.
The kitchen has modern appliances and is fully stocked with dishes, utensils and amenities, including microwave, blender, coffer maker, crock pot and griddle. There is a large dining room table and smaller side table if you need more seating.
We now have internet with 250 Mbps WiFi if you need to connect remotely!
The upstairs family room has a 50 inch HD TV and DVD player with DISH cable, including ESPN. There is plenty of seating for large groups and a selection of DVDs and board games for the family.
There is spacious front porch that runs the length of the home and is accessed through two separate, beautiful sliding doors. There is a large amount of outdoor seating for watching all the wildlife and a large gas grill.
On the lower level you can play games on the ping pong table or separate pool table, or watch games on the 50 inch HD TV in the downstairs family room!
There is also a laundry room with washer and dryer.
Have fun in the large front yard playing ball or picking apples from one of the 3 apple trees that bear fruit in mid to late summer. You can also enjoy a fire out under the stars and roasting smores in the fire pit near the house. There is also a canoe to carry down to the water to quietly explore the lake!
We are located just 15 minutes from I-40 by car. It is just under an hour to Nashville International Airport and is a very easy drive. We are 15 minutes from the town of Cookeville, where Tennessee Tech is located. There is every restaurant you can imagine, along with movie theaters, bowling alley and roller skating in case you have a rainy day. We are less than 10 minutes by car from Cookeville Boat Dock Marina. By boat, we are less than 10 minutes from Hurricane Marina and are located right at the entrance to Mine Like Creek - famous for its wakeboarding and water skiing conditions.
Whether you are just wanting to have a large place for several families to meet, a place right on the water with easy access for boating, a mile of walkable shoreline for exploring and fishing, or thousands of acres of adjacent US Corp of Engineers property for hunting, we think you will have a great time at our home!

Great place to stay by the lake

We had a great time! Short walk to lake access or you can drive and park. Can launch a boat there as well. Great swimming area. We floated in the cove all day. House was great! Quiet neighborhood. It was a great getaway with friends. Would definitely stay here again.

This is a great place and close to the area to put the boat in if you have one. We have a Party barge pontoon and was able to get the boat in and out. 4 wheel drive was a help getting out. The locals in the small valley were very friendly and gave alot of great information and pointers.

Driving into the area was very apprehensive with some properties not very well taken care of however, when at the lake (which is a little walk) was beautiful. This house served our needs for a weekend.

Enjoyable lake visit

My family and I spent a week at the house, and we enjoyed our stay. There were seven of us, and there was plenty of room. Wifi and all necessities were available. We were thinking we would have a view of the lake, but that is not the case, so if you are looking for that, this is not the right location. That said, the lake is good and deep and you don't have to deal with the "lake muck" if you go swimming.

Oasis on the lake

The house was outstanding! Fishing on the lake, kayaking to burgess falls/fancher falls, then grilled out on the porch while kids played pool and ping pong. The house had everything we needed for the weekend. Will be back to continue our adventures in the cumberland gap.

Fall Break

Super clean house that was right by the lake . Perfect fire pit set up ! You can’t beat the front porch for some coffee time or just hang out time. The teens really enjoyed the downstairs. There were many waterfall trails close so we took full advantage of those.

Nice Lake House!

Nice lake house! Close to boat drop-in/ beach area to swim. House is clean and good size. Only complaints are very uncomfortable beds and musty smell throughout the house. I would completely recommend to any family for a lake stay retreat! Much fun!!

Great Weekend!

The house was very clean, had good sleeping facilities and we loved the porches! The kids enjoyed the pool table and pingpong table. We liked that it was an easy walk down to the lake for our fun boating time. The kitchen is a bit shy of eating utensils for our family of ten, but that's an easy fix. We highly recommend this house for fun times and relaxation. Compliments to the Myers family for creating a wonderful place for family-friendly fun!

About the host

Hosted by Tim Myers

Host profile image
We are a family from middle Tennessee who fell in love with Center Hill Lake when we moved here in 2000.

Why they chose this property

We love how Center Hill Lake has such a pristine shoreline with no docks and it just feels like you are out on a "mountain lake", but we wanted the function of being able to just be able to put the boat right in the water from our place and not have to drive to a marina. It took years of looking, but this setup was worth it.

What makes this property unique

Nearby waterfalls with great hiking, location right on the water, two levels in the home to spread out and easy access to Cookeville and Nashville!
