Quaint cottage by the Lake

Enjoy this quaint cottage within walking distance of beautiful Dale Hollow Lake.

Although the cottage doesn’t offer a lake view, you’ll be extremely pleased with the convenient proximity to the Dale Hollow marina (at Cedar Hill) and its amenities. While here, take a trip back in time to 1955 and imagine the excitement within the fishing community when the Worlds Largest Smallmouth Bass was weighed in at the Cedar Hill marina.
The historical swinging bridge at Dale Hollow is within a 15 minute walking distance from the cottage. Here, you’ll find a swimming area along with picnic tables and grills. The Dale Hollow dam and Cedar Hill Marina are both within view of the swinging bridge which make the location a nice place to relax and “boat watch”!

Thinking about setting a new world record but forgot the boat? It’s not a problem. Several marinas are close by and are happy to accommodate you with one of their pontoon boat rentals. Feel free to contact me for details. We do recommend that you arrange the boat rental in advance of your arrival to secure availability.
If you’re looking for an awesome fishing experience, don’t hesitate to ask us about guide service. We work with a local guide who has years of experience on Dale Hollow and will be sure to make your trip unforgettable.

Located in Celina, TN. between Dale Hollow Marina and Cedar Hill Marina, “Old Bass Cottage” has two bedrooms and 1.5 baths.
The first bedroom is furnished with (2) dbl beds and the second bedroom is furnished with (1) double bed and (2) twin beds.

Short weekend girls trip
The cabin has plenty of space and was very clean. Lots of things you need for the kitchen were available. I loved all the pillows on the beds. The property manager was super nice, allowed a late check out, and was very easy to contact. This is my second time staying here and I'm sure we will be back

Labor Day Weekend
The house was close to the road, but had plenty of parking room and a nice deck, but several nails need to be fixed. Cozy place that had everything you needed. It's in the woods, and we saw 1 mouse, but you're in nature, still a clean place.

Great fisherman’s camp
This was a great place to stay for a fishing trip. Parking can be a bit challenging with 2 (20’+) boats but doable. Also had outside electrical outlets for charging batteries. We had everything we needed and were very pleased with the accommodations .

Fishing Trip
The property is wonderful! Clean, very stylish & the beds are very comfortable! The porch is the best feature of the entire house! I’m a sunrise with coffee & and sunset with sweet tea! It was a beautiful view to relax in the rocking chairs! My husband was able to get his boat in & out easy with the wrap around drive & charged batteries easy with outside outlets. Plenty of room for multiple boat parking too & just a few miles from the boat ramp. As for me, while they are fishing you are only a few miles to Scottsboro to enjoy many shops! You can’t visit Scottsboro without stopping at 50 Taters, The Docks, Paynes, Varsity, etc. to grab delicious food! Highly recommend!

Rustic house
Not a bad place just older and has a smell that just needs airing out, bed are hard uncomfortable, had everything we needed great location near water. Needs a good cleaning and airing out, sheets and bedcovers smell like they have been in an old closet not fresh! Good place for a group of fisherman that don't care about comfort and smell. Overall it was ok. To close to the road that is very busy for small kids my husband was trying to grill off the deck since they don't want the grill done on it and almost got hit by a jeep that ran off the road! Please get a grill mat to place under the grill if you are worried about it messing up the deck! Owner was nice and offered early check in the night before and late check out the day of which was both to late to take advantage of since we were already gone. Overall not bad just wish people would sleep on their own beds so they could see how comfortable they were.

Perfect Cozy Cabin
4 of us fisherman had an amazing trip. We had 2 full size trucks with 20 foot Bass boats. Parking was snug but very doable. Outlets outside made it convenient for charging batteries. Cottage was well stocked and comfortable.,Nice and cold A/C. Property manager communicated extremely fast and always available. Locals were friendly and stopped to talk: A 5 star property and will definitely be back!
