Had a great time…..House is beautiful!!!! driveway was a major dislike as manager had mentioned to us before we got there…..need a 4 wheel Drive …way to steep! Trash disposal address is closed on Sunday’s. Took our trash with us. Take your own bar soap and shampoo.
Had all the utensils in kitchen to cook home cooked meals. Very nice kitchen! Beds are very nice and comfortable. Love the view of the Cedar Hill Lake from the deck and house. Enjoyed sitting on the deck watching the hummingbirds at the feeder. Got to see red ear turtles on the trail. Not Handicap accessible.

The property is in a nice secluded area, by the lake, full of peace, quiet, and nature. Amazing time with the family.

The house provided our family with what we needed. The back deck is where we spent our time. The house next door was under construction and the workers spent a lot of time in the driveway. That made the lack of covering in the bathroom window a bit interesting. The drive is very steep but we didn’t have any trouble going down or up. The extra parking lot is a good thing as we had several cars.

We had a relaxing week. The driveway is crazy steep and the walk to the lake was further than hoped but overall a nice time.

The driveway was way more than we expected from the pictures. So none of us (large trucks) attempted it. We did trek through the path, which would have been easier if graded better, especially tugging cart filled with supplies. Son in-law disappointed because read lake access from trail, so wanted to do some fishing, but once down there, no access due to overgrowth.
The house was beautiful, we all (6) of us, were very comfortable!! And overall, it was a wonderful weekend!!!!

My family had our second great stay at this property. The house is nicely equipped, very clean and has great views of the lake. We have a large wakesurf boat and the parking pad handles the truck and boat with ease. Recommend this house for anyone looking for a great rental on Center Hill!

We absolutely adored this property. We had a mix of adults and kids and we couldn’t get the kids to leave the game room. The house was beautiful and immaculately decorated. Bed were comfortable, everything was clean and the kitchen was very well stocked. I would definitely recommend.

It was a winter storm- was helpful at first but iseemed to not be something in place for mechanical failures in the home - need to address this by something other than unfortunate- luckily things began to reset and began to work - other than that - beautiful place - clean- views were great- it held up well considering it was a winter storm - - manager was nice

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Easy Living Lodge! The view of the lake was amazing, the house was gorgeous and comfortable, with plenty of space for the 10 of us (two families of 5 staying for "Friendsgiving"). The kids loved the basement, but also had a blast walking down to the lake and playing on the rocks. The surrounding area was so beautiful and peaceful. We would stand out on the deck and just listen to the peace and quiet...not a noise to be heard besides the birds and an occasional boat out on the lake. Elizabeth was great to communicate with and answered all of our questions! Thanks for an amazing stay, and we hope to come back, maybe in the summer, so we can enjoy the lake more!

House was as promised. No problems and really appreciated having a gas line to grill instead of propane tanks. We watched the hummingbirds on feeders all weekend.

Great Family Getaway
This was a beautiful location for an extended family getaway. As others have stated, we did have a hard time with the driveway, but we parked in the parking lot down the street and walked the trail to the house. We’d highly recommend this location.

Perfect accommodation
We celebrated my son 18th birthday and high school graduation here. He invited two friends and we couldn’t have asked for a better place. The boys stayed in the game room, complete with two sets of bunk beds, their own full bath, refrigerator and microwave. This place has two master bedroom with attached bathrooms. The third bedroom had it’s own bathroom as well right next door. Very nice place and an awesome view of lake!

Gorgeous place and view! Great Xmas!
Host was so welcoming and accommodating! The house is gorgeous and big enough for the whole family! The view is so beautiful! It was worth the drive! The driveway at times didn’t seem as intimidating, but after a couple of people trying to get my car out, it was successful! we loved spending my birth and Christmas together! So glad we did it!

Beautiful Property
Beautiful property!! Thank you to the host for having the Christmas decorations up. They were beautiful and was a good fit for our trip. If you are not in pretty good shape and
are female bring some men with you to help get everything from the parking area to the house.

Expectations of this property is beyond ridiculous
The parking is Horrible, you can’t park in the driveway because of the very steep hill,you have to park at a different location and walk back..You pay a cleaning fee but have to clean everything even take all the trash to a different location at a dumpster site,you have to completely strip the beds down.. She complain if you move a nightstand over a little bit to plug your phone up if anything is moved out place it’s a problem.. I was told that the Toilet was move…Just ridiculous stuff not to give me my deposit back…it’s been almost two weeks and i still haven’t got it back and was told it maybe up to 15 more days, 30 days to receive your security deposit back beyond ridiculous it shouldn’t be this hard to get your security deposit back,i also payed for insurance and she still found a way to deduct money out of my security deposit and she didn’t even use the insurance which I had a $1500 coverage..The house was completely clean the trash was took out but I am being charge for stuff being moved over a little bit and was told that a piece of wood was missing out of the pool table when we never even used it. I also was told they had to spot clean one of the comforters which doesn’t make sense to me because every comforter should be washed after each stay I feel like that is very unsanitary to not wash the Comforters after each stay.. Overall the house is beautiful..But you just have to do to much to stay here

Perfect family spot
This was our 2nd visit and it was just as great as the first time. So much space for everyone to spread out; a game room to keep kids entertained and beautiful vistas of the lake. We’ll be back!

Gathering of Old Friends
We were six "seniors", with communal history of more than 47 years. Were looking for a comfortable, spacious and well appointed house. A view of the lake was a necessity. This house met all our needs. The walk down the hill to the lake was a challenge for some, but we all made it ! Sitting around the fireplace or dining on the deck were some of our favorite gathering places. The games in the basement and a found puzzle provided some additional activities. Thank you Elizabeth, we had a wonderful and cozy stay.

Beautiful house, incredible view!
We loved this house! It's spacious with plenty of room for everyone to spread out comfortably. Everything was clean, and the kitchen especially is filled with everything you could possibly need for your stay.
The only drawback is the walk to the house from the parking area beside the house can be wet from the rain, and the driveway is not for the faint of heart! Both of these things are to be expected when you're on the side of a mountain, however, and definitely worth the effort for the view from the back deck!

Just As Described!
We had a great week stay here! The house was beautiful with an awesome view of the lake. Everything is as described… including the drive way lol we used the parking at the corner and took the trail in to the house. Elizabeth was quick to respond and had great communication when we needed her. House is well stocked and great for large get togethers. Our kids loved the down stairs area and had tons to do. Would definitely recommend this place!

Amazing house and gorgeous views! Highly recommend!
If you are considering booking this house for your next vacation, do it! The house is large with two masters, a queen, and a great rec room with 2 full sized bunk beds. The kitchen is stocked with all the essentials and she even gives you free coozies and homemade soap! We rented a pontoon boat from Hurricane Marina which is only a 20-25 min car ride. Many people mention the steep driveway but it’s not a big deal if you have 4WD and if you don’t there’s a convenient parking pad on the property. Highly recommend this home and are hoping to come back some day!

60th anniversary celebration
We had a family come from four states to celebrate a 60th anniversary. The house was a perfect setup for us and wonderfully decorated. We had a family in the basement with two teenage boys who very much enjoyed the game room and 3 couples with their own room and bathroom. The combined kitchen and living room area was very spacious with plenty of seating for the whole group. The kitchen was well stocked with necessities, plenty of spices and had enough room for multiple cooks. The grill on the patio was great. Many outdoor patios with ample seating and beautiful views of the lake and/or woods. We very much enjoyed watching the hummingbirds on the feeder on the back patio.
It was great to have a trail down the the lake. But do heed, it is very steep and rocky. We were able to take kayaks down, with two people carrying each, but it was quite a challenge carrying them back up the trail. We did have a difficult time finding the launch site when we came back. A flag, sign or something would be great down there.
I would strongly suggest that you use the parking pad past the driveway, as it is very, very steep driveway. I would recommend 4 wheel drive only, especially if wet.
We enjoyed a kayak trip to beautiful Burgess Falls, about a 40 minute drive to put in. We also rented a pontoon with a tube at Edgar Evins State Park Marina. Very fun time and easy check in and out.
We went into Nashville for a day. Drove an hour and 15 to the Donelson Station and then took the bus from there. About another 30 minutes.
It was a little annoying to take the garbage to a county site instead of having containers on site. However the drive was not far.
It was a wonderful trip!! I would recommend it!

Gorgeous Views
The house was beautiful and very clean! The views from the porches on the back of the house are amazing!! The kitchen was large and well stocked with items needed to cook meals. The driveway was too steep for me to attempt, so I parked at the pad, but a relatively easy walk to the house.

Luxury in the mountains
We LOVED our stay! The house was beautiful! Sometimes rentals look better in pictures than in person, but not this one! It was gorgeous with awesome views. The kids loved the basement! So much room to spread out. I’ve never rented a place before that was so well stocked (trash bags, dishwasher detergent, laundry detergent, toilet paper, tissues, paper towels, etc). Usually you have to run out right away to purchase these items. The roads are steep and winding, but made for some great power walks! We didn’t attempt the driveway, but the pad at street level was very convenient. The lake was not crowded at all when we went boating. The best restaurants were 40 minutes away in Cookeville. There was a fun distillery there, too where you can do tastings. Elizabeth was super helpful and responsive when I reached out to her. I highly recommend this property.

Easy Livin" Lodge
Easy Livin’ Lodge came as advertised. The view of the lake was great from the deck. There was plenty of room for everyone to get their own space. The kitchen is equipped well enough if you want to do your own cooking. The internet worked flawlessly the entire time we were there. That was important as it rained much of the time we were there, so at times we were inside. Overall it was a very nice stay in this lake view home.

Comfortable home. Everyone enjoyed.
Kids enjoyed having their own floor with TV, fridge, microwave, games. Good views of lake from decks. Secluded area but not hidden. Parking at the lot near the house is ok but may be difficult for some people as it is a sloped gravel trail. There is a cart to haul your stuff to and from house. Tried walking to the lake but was rainy and not at all easy. Was nice they supply a grill and propane. You will need to haul your own trash to the dump. Internet is good.
