Perfect Fishermen’s Retreat on the Tennessee River or a Relaxing Family Getaway.

Rustic home nestled in the tree tops overlooking the Tennessee River. Year-round water is perfect for fishermen to enjoy freshwater fishing. The outdoor living spaces include a dock on the river, a pavilion that overlooks the river, a screened porch outside the ground level, & a wrap-around deck outside the den and master bedroom. The back of home faces the river & the sunset view is breathtaking. Property sits at Buoy Mile Marker 495 on the Tennessee River with easy access to the Grasshopper Creek boat ramp.

Paradise found!!!

We hosted a family reunion! It was everything we hoped for! Kids loved the lake, boating and fishing! The accommodations were perfect! There was more than enough space for our large group cookouts, gathering on the decks to watch the sunsets, and storytelling in the living room space. Beverly is a great host! Communication A!!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us! It was our second reunion there and would highly recommend!!!

Gorgeous views

We stayed here for a long weekend to attend a family wedding at Howe Farms. Upon check in, we found an amazing welcome basket that both the adults and kids enthusiastically enjoyed! We actually had really nice weather for March and the older teens were able to take the 2 kayaks out and paddled across the river and back! There are a lot of steps down to the dock and river, but it was fun to enjoy the deck and all its space. The sunsets were beautiful along the river.

Fisherman’s Retreat was a TREAT!!!!!

We hosted an early Thanksgiving family reunion. It was a perfect place…the parking ample, amenities excellent, kitchen fully equipped, beds cozy, fireplace warm and inviting, wonderful welcome basket, and the host was quick to answer our few texts. We plan to return to this spacious home!!!!
