We stayed for 2 nights over a long weekend. It was about a half an hour from Nashville. The place was clean and comfy. We need to come again and stay longer to enjoy the lake.

Clean, comfortable and thoughtfully stocked with everything you need. Lots of outdoor space and seating. Fun to watch the birds and deer on the property. Close enough to Nashville. Many other small towns to visit close by. Great communication with the hosts. We booked an additional night.

We enjoyed sitting on the dock in the morning watching the ducks, sitting by the fire pit at night watching the deer and making s'mores, and everything in between. They had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The phone service isn't the best inside the house, but we could text and the wifi worked. The host was responsive to any questions. We would stay here again.

This was a great stay. The place was very clean, easy to access, easy parking, close to restaurants/groceries/gas, easy drive to the City, great communication with the owners. It was peaceful, comfortable, and we were already trying to figure out when we could get back! My dog loved the deer, geese, ducks, birds, and all of the nature around!

The Cozy Cottage is absolutely gorgeous. Great location, great neighbors and I can't say enough about the owners. Don and Dora are some of the best hosts I've had the pleasure of interacting with. Simply incredible!! Many thanks, Robyn

Property was nice and hosts were very easy to communicate with. Loved sitting on the back deck while working. Ton of deer in the area! Even caught a couple of fish off the dock.

The house is exactly as described, and then some! Very clean and plenty of room. Don and Dora spoiled us with lots of unexpected treats, which made us feel like family instead of strangers! One of the best VRBO rentals we have ever stayed at.

My husband and I stayed at the Cozy Cottage for our honeymoon in August-September. We had a wonderful stay and felt right at home. The cottage had everything we needed and is in a great location. We brought our boat and kept it at the dock which was super convenient and we had a great time exploring Old Hickory Lake! We have been talking about staying here again. Definitely recommend!

The owners hold nothing back. We have stayed at alot of different places in the past. None compared to how well this one was stocked with everything you need to feel at home. Was a great stay. We didn't want to leave.

Great location on the lake. Very cozy with beautiful surroundings. Enjoyed watching the deer, fox and ducks every day. Very dog friendly. Owners of the property went the extra mile to make available little treats and supplies for our dog and many other items needed for our stay. Easy trip into Nashville. I would so recommend this place and I am hoping we can stay there again, the next time we visit Nashville.

Beautiful house, peaceful location, deer running around, kayak available, hammock was very relaxing, able to sit outside during the one day of rain, and was able to bring our dog. 🤗 oh and direct contact with owners was a plus.

Loved staying at this tranquil lake house. Our hosts were so helpful and informative. They really went over the top to ensure everything went perfectly. The house was fully equipped - I mean, they really thought of every little detail. Would definitely recommend.

Do not miss out on this location for your trip to Old Hickory Lake! Home is right on the lake with a huge backyard and private dock. There are deer and fireflies everywhere. The neighborhood is so quiet and peaceful and full of southern charm. The hosts are amazing… they were so quick to respond to any questions we had. The house is immaculate and full of the best hotel type bathroom toiletries and extras! It is so close to everything downtown and an easy drive to the airport!

We had to move out of our home for a week to have our floors redone, and this home is just down the street. So it was obviously conveniently located. :) The home is very comfortable and was nice & clean.

Our Christmas vacation was so enjoyable at this well equipped and maintained lake house. The view and the wildlife was awesome, close proximity to restaurants, grocery, and liquor stores, with Nashville being a short thirty minute drive, and the plus side is the owner is very responsive and available to any questions or inquires you may have. We enjoyed the quietness and the friendly neighbors. We look forward to returning in 2019!

My husband and I stayed at this cozy cottage for our honeymoon. The hosts were extremely helpful and was always a phone call away if we needed something. The cottage was very clean and the neighborhood was very quiet. My husbands favorite spot in the house was the table on the porch and my favorite spot was the hammock. We thoroughly enjoyed our relaxation time and this was the perfect place to do that. 10/10 would rent again. The Hughes’

I took my wife to Nashville for a surprise anniversary get away. Searching through different places to stay, I came across this lake house. The pictures do not do it justice. Also what can't be seen or found online is the extra effort the owner puts into making the stay special. It's a little bit of a drive to Nashville from the house but well worth it to have a peaceful get away. I along with my wife was highly impressed in every aspect of our stay here. If we go back to Nashville this will definitely be at the top of our list on places to stay.
