Dog Friendly Lake Chickamauga Bungalow with Private Boat Dock

This beautiful 2 bedroom/1 bath bungalow was smartly remodeled in 2020 and is ready to welcome you with great views! A large private boat dock is ready for your boat seasonally, and adjoining sun deck area with bed swing offers relaxing space at the end of the day with access to Lake Chickamauga! Work or go to school remotely? You're in luck with high speed fiber optic internet at this home! Located in a quiet neighborhood between two boat launches (approx. 1 mile each direction) the home is welcoming, stylishly comfortable and surprisingly spacious. Sitting well to the back of the property on over a 1/2 acre the home feels private, situated among mature trees. Want to bring your friendly family dog along? We welcome the family dog who is house trained, not allowed on furniture and not left alone inside the house unsecured. Walking in the front door, the entry opens to large great room area overlooking Lake Chickamauga/TN river with a wall of windows to enjoy the wonderful water and mountain views. In fact, every room in the house provides a view of the water! You'll also enjoy a 10 x 16 deck with dining table for 6 off the back of the Great Room to enjoy the scenery with a glass of wine or that morning cup of Joe.

Two cozy bedrooms have queen sized beds for a good night’s sleep, and generous closet space for all your necessities. 2 twin sized pop up beds are also available, if needed. Full bathroom has a tub/shower combo. Lots of comfortable seating in the expansive great room with a 65" Smart TV with DirecTV and high speed internet, along with a 43” TV in one bedroom. Seating for 6 at the dining table, or enjoy a meal on the back deck overlooking the dock, water and an awesome mountain view. A fireplace with wood burning insert and plenty of firewood means cool weather trips are cozy and inviting.

A short walk down the concrete path takes you to the new private covered boat dock with electricity and lighting, and shoreline seating complete with a new firepit area for enjoyable evenings. Or enjoy a quiet cup of coffee on the bench swing before the day’s activities begin. 2 kayaks, 2 paddle boards and life jackets are available for complementary use during your stay. Fully equipped kitchen provides everything you'll need for preparing meals while here (and yes, we do mean fully equipped!). The gas grill (propane provided) is ready for your favorite steak! Plenty of parking for vehicles and boat trailers in the U-shapeded driveway means easy in/out with boat trailers.

The home is a 10 minute drive to the small town of Decatur with several fast food locations, 3 family restaurants, a Mexican/Italian restaurant and a grocery store. 2 local boat launches, one mile upriver and downriver, mean you can arrive by boat mid April to early October. Average water level April to Oct is approximately 2 ft at the shoreline to 5 1/2 ft at the end of the dock providing plenty of boat docking access. While lake levels drop Oct to April affecting use of the dock, the boat launches and lake use are available year around.
