I recently had the pleasure of staying at this property near Shiloh National Park for a family reunion, and it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the charming surroundings and the plethora of activities available on-site.
The property was perfect for our large group, with plenty of space for everyone to spread out and relax. The kids had a blast on the swing set, while the adults enjoyed the peacefulness of the nearby fishing spot. We spent our days fishing, laughing, and enjoying the beautiful outdoors.
One of the highlights of our stay was the evening bonfire. Gathered around the fire, we roasted marshmallows, shared stories, and created lasting memories under the starlit sky. The grill was another fantastic feature, allowing us to cook up delicious meals and dine al fresco.
The proximity to Shiloh National Park was a huge bonus. We took a day trip to explore the historic battlefield, which added an educational and enriching dimension to our reunion.
Overall, this VRBO property was the perfect setting for our family reunion. The amenities, location, and overall ambiance made for a truly special and enjoyable stay. We can't wait to return!

Our trip consisted of my granddad 91, husband, daughter and brother's family. There was 8 of us altogether. The house was the best stocked I've ever rented. Seriously hands down the best. They had everything from dish soap to toilet paper. Aluminum foil, paper towels, seasonings, and all of it was included in the cost. Even the gas grill. I rented one place where the grill was an extra $80 a night. So, we where extremely happy about that. The bedding was super soft we actually took pictures of the labels so we could buy some for our own house. There was more than enough room for everyone. Some places say they sleep a certain number but then you get there and you're like how or where will they sleep or sit. Also, there was plenty of seating around the house we all had room to hang out or eat together. Next, the hot water was great they have tankless water heaters. The water takes a minute to heat up but once it does you're set. I really enjoyed that as my daughter likes to use all the hot water. The house and property are beautiful. About have the beds are super hard. Hard enough that a coupl of us switched beds or slept on the couches. This property is not a good fit for anyone with mobility issues. None of the entrances are handicap accessible. The floor in the house is uneven and would be a safety hazard for people with severe mobility issues. In our group we had 3 ppl with issues. Overall, I recommend this property its beautiful, a great place to relax and hang out.

This property is very clean and a great layout with plenty of bedrooms and living areas. The kids loved the pool table and the big deck is a great spot to relax after a long day on the lake. The covered boat slip is perfect for your fishing boat and pontoon.

This home was perfect for our family, multigenerational, to meet up and enjoy the weekend together. The ages ranged from 4 to 65 and all in between. We brought 2 fishing boats and utilized the boat house. We have plenty of room to gather, play games, eat, and just visit and make memories.

This was our 3rd stay at Yellow Creek Lodge. I will always choose this home whenever we visit Pickwick Lake. It is equipped with everything you would find in your own home and the spacious layout is all on one level. It is not a new, modern home; however, the kitchen and one of the bathrooms has been very tastefully remodeled. Lots of large windows provide beautiful views of the secluded, wooded property. The appeal of this home is its rustic features, spaciousness, and location. It also has a large deck which accommodates a large group and a fire pit below with adirondack chairs surrounding it!
5.0
Beautiful property inside and out. Spacious and tucked away boathouse at the back of cove keeps rough waters from rocking stored boats. For fishing boats when stored in boathouse the electrical outlets are on a 60 minute timer so if out for a full day and batteries need a good charge you will have to go back down once or twice to activate but not a crazy hassle. Paved road down from house to the boathouse was very nice especially with any rainy days. Inside is spacious and very well laid out. I would recommend this place for anyone coming to fish or boat on Pickwick Lake.

We had another great time at YCL with family and friends. Stayed for 4 nights and had everything we needed for adults and young kids. House is set up well for multiple families and the large yard, fire pit, swing set, parking area, etc. worked out perfect. Sherrie was a great host and helped us out a ton. Highly recommend!!!

This lake house is very nice. The kitchen is well stocked with about anything you might need to prepare a meal. The boat house accommodated both our boats with room to spare. Nice paved driveway going down to the boat dock for loading and unloading. We enjoyed the firepit and the wood is provided! There were 10 of us in our group and the cabin accommodated all of us very nicely. The owners were great to work with and answer you very quickly with any questions you might have. The location is great. Close to the boat ramp and close to the store for any last minute items you might need.

December 25-Jan1st.
The host, Sherrie was absolutely wonderful. She was so quick to respond to any questions I had. So easy to work with. This was a planned 4-5 family vacation, unfortunately/fortunately it was a solo trip for me. In all 4 of my different families someone had a medial emergency or hospital stay that kept them from coming. I had a new grandson born but not in time for his 2 week shots. 🥰 Anywho, getting to the solo part. I arrived Christmas evening to a beautiful spacious living room. Oh the wood walls and ceilings just beautiful. The kitchen was amazing. You need not bring anything because it is so well supplied with everything unless you love cast iron like I do. Sherrie has thought of everything you could possibly need. Dec 26th 2023 I had a beautiful snowfall. The fireplace was wonderful. Plenty of wood is provided for outside fire pit and the home. The bed was so comfortable. I looked for the brand that’s how comfortable. The outside property and boathouse was so nice. Just as described. I look forward to a summer stay to use those outside amenities. You can not go wrong with Yellow Creek!! Thanks Sherrie for making my stay so easy and comfortable. Happy New Year!

Our large group comes down for training every year and have found the perfect place for our stay. From the extremely friendly owner to the abundant amount of beds and space, it fit exactly what we needed. The grounds are fantastic and we used just about everything from the fire pit and bbqs to the pool table and fishing. The inside of the house looks to have been redone recently, the kitchen is perfect for making quite the spread and the cabin like interior adds the perfect touch. I highly recommend this place if you have 6 or more people as space is one thing you will not complain about. Also, having all those full bathrooms with a large group helps out a ton! We have definitely found our place to go for years to come. Thanks for being a great host!

Excellent Place to Stay
We were a group of 5 couples on a weekend getaway. Everything was spectacular! The place and lot were beautiful. We had plenty of room both inside and outside. Even though we did not bring children with us, Yellow Creek Lodge was well suited for families also. We will definitely look at booking YCL again!

Went for a weekend trip with the guys and we had a great time. Early morning fishing and late nights hanging out by the fire as well as a great grill area. Would recommend to anyone. Also Sherri was very helpful from start to finish and went the extra mile to ensure our comfort!

Most Horrible Experience
We arrived at the property only to immediately to smell a horrific odor like sewer. After exp breathing difficulties 4 of us had to leave and drive 69 miles back to Florence for accommodations. The ones who stayed had to sleep with windows open and fans. The owner came the next morning and because they were kind and could sleep in the house didn’t think it was a real issue. Really? What about the Feces is found in the bed in the pic I sent. House was NOT clean. First bad exp with VRBO in over 10 yrs. Owner refunded half the room rate but enjoyed the cleaning fees and the remainder of the monies to clean up THEIR mess. When provided pics no response. Sad we were looking for a property in the area to use for abet away to fish and be around the water. Would NOT recommend.

Awesome Lake Property
This is the 2nd year that we have rented this house. We love the size of the house is perfect for large groups — family & friends. There are 5 bedrooms — we gave the kids the 3 bedrooms at the front of the house. It was nice to have the kitchen & large area to eat & watch TV (we used this area for the adults) and the kids took over the den area that had a TV area and pool table. The yard was big and it had a nice fire pit area & an awesome enclosed area for grilling. Another awesome thing is being able and to drive down to the boathouse and unload everything. The marina is very close too. Great experience

Friends Weekend
My college girlfriends, their husbands, and children spent the weekend at Yellow Creek Lodge. It was the perfect location and house for the weekend. We rented two pontoons from Pickwick Pontoon Rentals. We used the grill house one night to cook hotdogs and hamburgers for the crew.
There was plenty of space inside for the group. The kids loved the swing set outside and yard to run around in. We would definitely stay there again!

Excellent Lodging for group with boats
Our stay was great. We had everything we needed. House is supplied well with cooking utensils and grill. I don’t think we could have found a better place for 12 people. Fathers and sons with 4 boats. We really enjoyed it.

Wonderful lake house
This house is great. It’s very clean and roomy and there are multiple places to gather and have fun. We spent a lot of time in the backyard around the fire and on the deck and having direct access to the lake is such a great feature. We kept our boat in the boathouse all weekend and were able to go out on the water anytime we wanted. I will definitely book this house again and stay longer next time. Perfect for families or weekend getaways with friends.

Incredible place and service
The property was perfect. The host was perfect. The weather was perfect. Sherri was easy to deal with even though I’m not and her property blew us away. The only regret here was leaving.

Perfect family retreat!
We recently had to "go home" to Counce TN & Corinth MS for my mom's funeral. Though we could have easily stayed in separate family homes, my brothers, nephews, and spouses wanted to be together (we come from 3 different states). YCL was a perfect fit! Everyone had a very comfortable bedroom with enough bathrooms to share as needed. We had ample space to either be in one room visiting or separate areas as some people telecommuted (wifi was a great asset!). I have never been to a rental property with a kitchen stocked as well as this one! I have a bit of kitchen envy....the double ovens and drink station are dreamy. The property is beautiful and is perfect "vintage Pickwick "! There are lots of hammock trees - bring your ENO. We even took advantage of the swing set, built sturdy enough for adults! The property owner and I had multiple communications before, during, and after our stay. She is very accommodating and easy to work with. We all highly recommend YCL, even in the winter!
