“Great place for a fishing trip, covered slip 50 yards from your room. It is a fishing trip !”
“This is my go to spot for fishing adventures. It is located on Watts Barr, but also a short drive to Melton Hill, Louden, Chickamauga, and Nickajack. Basically, it a trophy catfish, striper, and muskie paradise. The rooms are awesome, clean, and affordable. The boat docks are amazing. The location in the cove is also ideal for kayaking.”
“My wife and I stayed here several times this past year. We absolutely love it here ! While it may not be a five star hotel, it is clean and adequate. We come here to stay on the water all day in our boat and just having a place to shower and crash is perfect for us. You can't beat the price and it is very safe. The covered docks are in great shape and have power to recharge your batteries. As for the fishing, it can't be beat !!! Watts Barr lake is our favorite place to go and this place makes it possible for us to enjoy it multiple times a season. Hope to be coming back several times next year.”
“My friends and I have traveled there for several years now .Great accommodations, good fishing, very quiet and friendly atmosphere. I get the feeling I'm home while I'm there. Highly recommend you book a stay .”
