1. The Point Above Center Hill Lake

13mi from Cookeville · 1 site · Lodging

A blend of woods and grassy spaces along the slope toward Center Hill Lake, this 2.3 acre property sits about 400 ft above the lake surface. The land between this property and the lake is privately owned and the shore is managed by the Army Corps of Engineers. The lakeshore is mostly rocky and governed by the wildlife which make it their home. There is, however, a small boat launch just minutes away on another point into the lake. Dogs are welcome to frolic there as well. This property also offers lodging in a cottage called The Charming Tiny House Cottage (video: https://youtu.be/fbXngtMQj8s). Currently, this property does not have tent or RV camp sites.

Breanna's art studio is a must stay if you are a fan of all things crafty, and was the perfect retreat! We loved the quiet, wooded setting and it was exactly what we needed to recharge. The town of Cookeville is a mere 20 minutes away which has a wonderful assortment of restaurants, plus there are a number of parks and hiking trails nearby for the nature enthusiast. If you're looking for peace, creativity, and convenient access to urban life, book this place now. We can't wait to return!

Loved staying at the A-Frame! Bring your rechargeable or don’t! This was the perfect base camp for my weekend of hiking. I will definitely book again when in the area.

Weekend Trip to Caney Fork Hunter Fisher Paradise

We really enjoyed our stay here. It is such a peaceful spot. The cabin was well stocked for an off grid camp. Coffee, plates and cups were all provided. It is a bit of a hike from the parking lot but nothing too intense.

Weekend Trip to Caney Fork Hunter Fisher Paradise

My pup and I had a wonderful stay on Ashley’s land. The A-frame was perfectly placed in the woods and after a mini hike to it, we settled in and enjoyed nature’s sounds and peace. Would definitely recommend a visit. Do pack light though as its a small hike up to camp. I had a small bag, pup pack and a cooler and broke a good sweat to get to it. Will for sure return next time I’m in town!
