The Grande @ Tuscany Inn Tennessee-Private Hot Tub
We had a very relaxing few days with our pups at Esther and Tamara's place recently. The property is just beautiful and these ladies are the most incredibly gracious hosts. They are super friendly and easy to communicate with. We enjoyed walks around the property, soaks in the private hot tub, and reading our books out on the patio overlooking the pretty surroundings. We ate in our room a few times using room service, as well as dining in the Inn, and let me tell you, Esther is an amazing chef! We enjoyed everything she made for us! They really do try to create an experience for their guests here, and that makes them a unique and wonderful place to stay. We will definitely be back. Thanks again!

Lake Top Cabin #10
Great place to stay when visiting Lake Cumberland Marina and area.

Cabin on the Farm
This was our second time staying at Lisa and Larry's cabin and it was just as amazing as the first time! It is the most peaceful, serene location and the cabin feels just like staying with family. Clean, beautifully decorated and filled with little personal touches, like everything you need to make a farm fresh breakfast on your first morning! Lisa and Larry both are incredibly kind and hospitable. My only complaint is they're not closer to us so we can visit more often :)

Brand new memory making rental
Nice, spacious, and clean place close to Dale Hollow Reservoir. Everything is new and shiny. There is nothing special at this immediate location but a lot of fun places to go nearby, including Dale Hollow. The highway can be a bit noisy, but the house is set back enough to avoid most of it. Ask the host for GPS coordinates ahead of your visit, otherwise Google Maps may get confused. Highly recommended.

Cozy home - Newly remodeled
I think this was my fourth time staying at Tracy’s Beason house. It won’t be my last. It’s perfect for a couple bass boats and four people if you’re planning a fishing trip. It’s a very quiet area. My friends and I love it. Highly recommend.

Spacious Cottage: King Suite, Dog OK, Ten to Town
The Tin Cottage was the perfect place for us to stay with our dog. It’s just the right size for a couple (and a dog) with plenty of room and pretty much every amenity, appliance, and linen you could ever need (including food and water bowls for your canine friend). The cottage itself is quite charming, but the landscaping and decor outside was amazing- it’s only a pity that the weather while we were there was such that we couldn’t enjoy it as much as we could have if it hadn’t been raining so much. We especially loved the hike down to the waterfall which was probably the only advantage to it having rained so much in that it was really running and very beautiful. The location was a bit out of town, but it put us in a good spot to head out to the different parks and hiking trails while being close enough to easily get food from in town. If you’re looking for a place for two people to stay near Cookeville, you can’t go wrong here!

The Beaver Creek Getaway
Very homey feeling place. Heather had everything we needed and great local recommendations in the guestbook. Beautiful property. We would definitely book again!

Home in Byrdstown
Great place for a getaway. Country setting nice and cozy.

Bluegrass Gables: Lake Cumberland Cottage
This is hands town one of the best locations I have stayed at. Every question I had was answered immediately. The home was so peaceful. Also, I am the type of person that tries to pack everything but it never fails when planning a trip for a group something is bound to be forgotten and there were so many things provided just in case someone forgot an item to bring, I was floored. There's also the special surprises and I don't want to give anything away, but it's just nice to walk in and see a special little something for the visitors. I would love to rebook and have a women's retreat at this location. I took a group of teenage boys and I was so impressed because they bought electronics with them, but they did not want to use them. They had such a great time enjoying the surroundings and spending time around the fire pit and in the hot tub. I can't wait to rebook.

New Rustic home near State Dock!
This was our second stay at Heather’s place and we absolutely loved it again! Spent a week there with my parents. We turkey hunted, fished, grilled lots of great meals and just relaxed! Our dogs also enjoyed themselves! The little neighborhood was perfect for taking them for walks in the morning and afternoons.

Spectacular Cabin on Lake Cumberland- Amazing View
Amazing place, it’s a knotty pine sanctuary.

4 bed 2 bath by Jamestown Marina
This is a perfect space for my family of 5. Hosts were great and responded when I had questions. Love the patio and black-stone grill for group meals. We’ve stayed here twice now and will definitely be back!

But' It's Easy!
This place was absolutely beautiful and made our trip perfect after a long week

country house with lake view, casa de campo
Great place to stay and very private this was my second time staying and never disappointed we love it

Quiet Retreat, Great Location
This location is a great deal for the money. it's not one of those grey homes, where everything is just blandly decorated. this house has history, you can tell by staying there. it's an older house that feels more like home. the chapel and outdoor surroundings are so gorgeous. there were plenty of clean towels, dishes to use, snacks and coffee. thank you for letting us stay.

Unique lakeside vacation home in Tompkinsville
We enjoyed our stay and spending time with our family in the area. Actually the home was only a mile or so away from our family which was very convenient. Ronda was very friendly and the home was perfect for what we needed.
Your guide to Dale Hollow Lake
Welcome to Dale Hollow Lake
Straddling the Kentucky-Tennessee state line, Dale Hollow Lake is as picturesque as they come, its steep bluffs and limestone outcroppings circling thick green forests, fingers stretching into secret coves. And with 620 miles of shoreline and 48 square miles of water surface, it’s a true boater’s paradise. The lake’s many marinas offer equipment to rent, including double-decker boats and non-motorized vehicles such as kayaks and paddleboards. If you’re more of a floater, Dale Hollow Lake was created when the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers dammed the Obey River, and the river is very popular with those seeking all-day floats. There are put-in spots all along this section of waterway.
While Dale Hollow Lake is best known for its championship smallmouth bass fishing — it holds the record for the world’s largest smallmouth — it’s also home to crappie, bream, muskie, walleye, trout, catfish, and other species of bass.
If you’re looking for things to do on land, the trails crisscrossing the lake’s perimeter are prime ground for hiking, biking, and horseback riding. You can also explore life in the towns surrounding the lake. The area is anchored by Celina, Tennessee — a small community with a large Amish influence and antique shopping galore — to the west and Byrdstown, home to the 55-acre historic Cordell Hull Birthplace and Museum park, to the east.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Dale Hollow Lake
If you want to beat the crowds, go to Dale Hollow Lake in the spring months when it’s just starting to warm up; Tennessee and Kentucky springs can start as early as March or as late as mid-April, and while the water may be chilly, you can expect the wildflowers and other blooms to show off. Summer between Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends is the busiest time on Dale Hollow Lake, with out-of-state visitors and Tennessee and Kentucky residents flocking here to cool off in the intense Southern humidity. While some facilities and attractions may be open only in the summer months, fall is also a time to consider visiting Dale Hollow Lake as the leaves begin to turn shades of gold and the crowds head home for the season.
Top things to do in Dale Hollow Lake
Dale Hollow Lake State Park
Spanning 3,400 acres, Dale Hollow Lake State Park is a popular spot for active pursuits such as mountain biking, but it’s also well known for more low-key solitary activities such as birding. In the wintertime, the park is home to the state’s second-largest population of nesting bald eagles after Reelfoot Lake; it also houses plenty of waterfowl and other migrating bird species within its lush forests.
Cindy Cave
Go underground and see the cavernous landscape upon which Tennessee and Kentucky are built via an adventurous wander through Cindy Cave. The cave is open each summer from Memorial Day through Labor Day by guided tour only. Note that touring this primitive space requires comfort with moving, bending, and crawling through small spaces. You may be joined in your journey by cave-dwelling crickets, salamanders, and bats.
Standing Stone State Park
A 12-foot-tall rock on a sandstone ledge once served as the boundary between two Native American nations. Today, it’s a family-friendly state park in Tennessee with an artificial lake and plenty of hiking trails.
