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.

Pleasant Thanksgiving Get-Away
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.

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!

Overall nice place - needs some updates
We enjoyed our stay here for the most part. Pros: It was clean and orderly; living area was comfortable area to hang out in; wifi worked; kitchen was not bare and had basics; A/C worked good. Cons: It's not a lakeside or lakeview - it's uphill and behind trees from the lake - according to a local marina the lake level can rise or fall 30' - so if it was up maybe we could've seen the water; very limited outdoor funiture; mattresses need updating; never got TV in basement to work; no screens on doors or windows so had to keep everything closed up.

Great Location on Center Hill Lake
The house is awesome for a large family and then some. Center hill lake ROCKS and it’s an amazing destination for us who wanted to boat and water ski. The boat ramp and roads in the neighborhood were a bit rutted up and narrow for our 22 foot boats to feel comfortable launching there. We chose to launch at Cookeville boat dock instead. Plenty of other folks in the neighborhood launched at this place. Overall a great place and a great location. Will definitely be back to Center Hill Lake!

Great getaway!
My group ended up having 8 people stay here and there was more than enough room. The kitchen, living room, all beds, one bathroom, and lots of porch space are on the main floor; the second living space with the pool + ping pong tables, the laundry room, and another bathroom are downstairs. Everything was clean and well maintained and the host was kind and responsive. It is fairly easy to navigate to from the I-40, but the last mile or so of the drive is a somewhat steep and curvy one lane road and the driveway is gravel. None of our cars had any issues getting there (including a FWD sedan), but we also didn't have any rain/snow/ice during our stay. There is plenty of space for parking.

ROUGH NIGHT SLEEP
I have severe scoliosis and have had a spinal fusion. Also have arthritis and degenerative disc disease. With that being said, this was by far the worst bed I've ever slept on! I have been in constant pain since the first night of constant tossing and turning. I checked the other bed as well and none seemed very comfortable but the master could definitely use a new mattress. Overall, the house was great but i would not recommend in the winter because it could be difficult to access. The teens loved the pool table and ping pong table. The lake access was mostly just for boat ramp use and not much room for fishing or swimming.
