Stunning Mountain Lake, Private Forest, Beautiful 4 BR & 4 BA

Montlake is a unique mountain lake formed millions of years ago. It is one of the very few natural lakes in Tennessee. Our Montlake Retreat is a very spacious home with about 20 acres of wooded grounds. There are trails around the lake, and there is a waterfall directly across the lake from the terrace. We are family-oriented, but also welcome special interest groups, such as rock climbers, sports teams, fishermen (up to three boats), weddings, reunions. etc.

Montlake has four bedrooms, four baths, living room, library, great room/dining room, kitchen, and laundry room. There are two fireplaces (library and great room) and a large deck above the terrace. It is a long, rambling house, so there is plenty of privacy for everyone. The master bath has a jetted tub and separate shower, as well as a large walk-in closet and bidet. The other three baths have toilets, sinks, and tub-showers. The laundry room has large capacity (front-loading) washer and dryer. The terrace overlooks the lake and is a pleasant place to bask in the sun or gather around a campfire. Added bonus for the kids: If you hike all the way around the lake, you are entitled to ring the antique bell!

The views at Montlake are beautiful.

Here's what our guests have to say:

'Our stay at Montlake was GREAT!!! Your home was so beautiful and comfortable. There was plenty of room for everyone (we had 9 in our group) to relax and do their own thing. The lake was breathtaking, we hiked around the lake, grilled, and enjoyed the sites. The waterfall was beautiful, it had just rained and it was falling very heavily. The location of your home was also great we were just about 20-25 minutes to all attractions, Rock City, Ruby Falls and Chattanooga Railroad Station. Thank you for letting us come to your lovely home. I highly recommend this home to anyone. Hope to stay again next year.' --Carol I.

'We have been recommending your house to friends and family!' --Fabienne V.

'Thank you for the use of your lovely home! We had a relaxed, companiable weekend with our friends. Oh--and the view of the lake is breathtaking! Thank you again; you have a lovely, lovely home.
--Linda and John D.

Montlake is a complete home and we rent to one family or group at a time. We absolutely do not permit subleasing or unscheduled events.

Great place for group
We had a big group of adults with cars on a climbing trip - this property was big enough to be comfy for all of us, plenty of space and 4 bathrooms so no fighting over showers, lots of parking. There's only 1 key so we had to do a bit of negotiation when we went separate ways during the day, but that was minor. Overall we loved this spot and would stay again.

Interesting and cute
It’s an older house with older decor. The bed comfort was not great but it was very spacious with a lot of bathrooms and plenty of sleeping options. The outside was amazing with a neat trail and excellent views. Overall, pretty good place to stay for the area.

Family Weekend
The property is very scenic. The home is quite large with 2 bedrooms and baths on separate ends of the house. Plenty of room to gather in the kitchen , den, living room and music room. The property is dated but very well appointed. 8 adults 4 children 9-12 everyone had room to spread out and do their thing. We enjoyed it !!!!

Brief But Pleasant Stay
Nice home, spacious with all the essentials. Patios are very nice overlooking giant sink-hole. Relatively convenient for Chattanooga sight-seeing... Although the road up the mountain to the house was a bit of an adventure. Convenient parking. Accessible through most of the home, but toilets were not the nicer raised kind. Overall we had a good time.
