Cabane simple au bord du lac avec kayaks pour invités !

Reel Simple LAKEFRONT Cabin sits at the back of our property, right on the bank of Big Creek Lake, while offering mountain charm at its best. Tucked into a couple acres for you to explore, you will enjoy the peaceful calm of the area. You are invited to bring your fishing poles (with license), kayaks, boat (with electric motor only) and paddleboards to use on the lake. Big Creek Lake spans 74 acres for your enjoyment. I want to disclose that in the warm months of around May-September, there has been a large vegetation growth along the banks in the lake. Keep in mind that Big Creek Lake is a public water source so we cannot treat the vegetation with chemicals. If you plan to fish, kayak or swim in the lake, keep this in mind and plan accordingly.

The location of our cabin is perfect, it sits in the middle of Grundy County and is a short drive to the many trailheads of the three local State Parks, the Coalmont OHV Park, Miracle on the Mountain Play Outside Park (scheduled to open Summer 2026), The Caverns, Sewanee and University of the South. Nashville is 1.5 hours away; Chattanooga is an hour and McMinnville and Manchester are both 35-minute drives. If you don't feel like exploring the area, you will enjoy the peaceful serenity of the cabin. At night, the area is perfect for stargazing.

Reel Simple LAKEFRONT Cabin is a 500 sq. ft. getaway. Small, yes, but let's face it, you're here to enjoy the outside! We offer what many of the other local choices don't - true privacy. If you choose not to see anyone during your stay, that is possible.

The cabin features a kitchen with a full-size propane stove, kitchen sink, microwave and full-size refrigerator. The kitchen is complete with everything you will need to cook meals during your stay. There is a small barrel-style table with four stools. The cozy living area has a futon, a chair and a Roku television so you can sign in to your streaming channel. A private bathroom with a shower, toilet and a small sink vanity, complete the downstairs. Upstairs is an open loft bedroom with a queen size bed. Make sure you check out the stairs that lead to the loft. If you have mobility problems - this will not be ideal for you. The front porch offers a swing and two Adirondak chairs for your relaxation. This is the perfect place to begin and end your day.

Our cabin has city water, central heating/air conditioning, high-speed internet and privacy. Unlike a lot of other properties in the area, you will NOT be near another rental. This cabin is the only rental we offer on our property for our guests to enjoy their stay in peace.

We have a fire pit near the pavilion and have provided wood. The wind that comes off the lake can be very strong. Under no circumstances can the fire pit be used during dry weather or high winds. Please do not leave fire unattended and make sure it is out completely before you retire for the evening.

A couple extras on the property include a large pavilion where you will find two grills. One is propane with a tank on site that we fill up for your use and the other is charcoal (you will have to provide your own charcoal). Grill utensils are provided in the cabin. A picnic table for you to enjoy your meals is also under the pavilion. There are two fans that can help with air flow, if needed.

We have two kayaks that can be used by guests, upon signing a personal responsibility and release of liability agreement. You will find these at the cabin and once I have a copy, I will provide you with the lock code for the kayaks, oars and life vests. The kayaks are provided seasonally (April through September). Both are 10 ft. long and have a weight limit of 275 pounds. The Army green colored one is a fishing kayak and the blue one is general recreation.

We have a gravel turnaround near the cabin, so if you have a trailer to haul your offroad vehicle, you can easily maneuver around.

Pet Policy: Being dog lovers ourselves, we can't imagine taking a trip without our dogs. Feel free to bring yours to enjoy your visit to the cabin. We charge $20 per dog, per stay (sorry, limit of 2). PLEASE REACH OUT TO ME BEFORE BOOKING TO GET A QUOTE THAT INCLUDES THE PET FEE(S). If you add your pet to the search criteria when booking, it will automatically add $20 for your dog. If you are bringing an additional dog, reach out to me so I can update your quote before booking - thank you.

Check-in and Check-out: Arrival time is 3:00 p.m. central time and check-out is on or before 10:00 a.m.

Special Note: The pasture and woods around the cabin will give you and your guests over three acres to explore. The land near the cabin is shared between your family and the main home. We will do our best not to interfere with your stay, but property maintenance still needs to be done. We try to mow between bookings, but the weather does not always cooperate with that plan :)

If you have any questions prior to booking, please reach out to me. I do my best to answer promptly. I look forward to hosting you on your next trip to beautiful Grundy County, Tennessee!
