Overlooks Dale Hollow! When you arrive at Happy Hollow Cottage, the teal exterior with the rosy cheeks front door gives you a hint of what’s waiting inside. A bright, simple, cheerfully renovated 900 sq ft cottage (winter 2025) with a wall of windows at the large lakeside deck provides a close-up view of beautiful Dale Hollow Lake from the inside and the outside. You have found your happy place! A king bedroom and bath are on one side of the vaulted open plan living/dining/kitchen; on the other side are two more bedrooms and another bath. The kitchen is all new with a state-of-the-art induction range and peninsula seating lets guests chat with the cook. You can also cook outside on a large gas grill and lounge on the deck while enjoying the view and the privacy. This cottage is small and welcoming and has been designed as a comfortable place to kick back, relax and immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of nature on a quiet dead end road in Sherwood Shores. If you listen closely, you will hear a variety of owls hooting in evenings and early mornings and the birds sing all day from the heavy woods just off the deck. The bird, owl and animal decor inside reflects the world of nature found just outside. Up to a dozen squirrels and two dozen cardinals will often gather on the deck rails for an early morning breakfast if you put out some sunflower seeds. Enjoy the show! Dale Hollow Lake is considered one of the most beautiful lake in the state of Tennessee. It holds the world record for small mouth bass, 11 lbs 15 oz, and was voted the number one houseboating lake in North America by a leading publication. If being on the water is what you enjoy, come take advantage of the 27,700 acres of water and 620 miles of heavily wooded shoreline where development is restricted to marinas and day-use areas. Happy Hollow Cottage is conveniently located just minutes from several marinas. The closest one (10 minutes away) is Sunset Marina. They rent pontoons, houseboats, other watercraft and dock space. Sunset has also recently opened a new restaurant. There is a separate off-road parking space at the cottage for your boat trailer/RV or check with the marina about parking space if you rent a dock slip.

Location is excellent. The house was a little on the small side but we knew that ahead of time. Kitchen floors and dishes were not as clean as we would have liked but that could be due to us wanting to check jn early (which we greatly appreciated). Also might want to invest in a new coffee maker. Thanks ##### Joanne D.

My family enjoyed our stay thoroughly. The view was beautiful and the house was very well stocked with any and everything you could need. The owner was always quick to respond, and even checked on us after a storm knocked out the power. He also allowed us to check in a few hours early. The only minor complaint I would have is that it could have been a little cleaner, lots of cob webs and the dishes and counters were a little dirty and sticky. But other than that, the house was wonderful and we would definitely book again! ##### Miranda W.

This cottage is for the birds—and that's a beautiful thing! It's "Home Sweet Home" for all sorts of colorful, happy birds, and it was a lovely treehouse retreat for our family of six. We enjoyed dinner and breakfast on the back porch deck, which gave us a birds-eye view of Dale Hollow Lake. (Bring your binoculars for an extra visual treat!) The large round table is perfect for family togetherness. The cottage's well-designed interior has shabby chic touches and super-comfy seating. We played like water sprites on a boat rented at nearby Sunset Marina and enjoyed fresh catfish at the restaurant there. The boys loved feeding the turtles that were paddling by the boat dock! Happy Hollow Cottage is the perfect place to chill and chat, tucked away from everyday noise and shrillness. Yes, this place is for the birds—and we know why they are so happy there. We were, too! ##### Ivey B. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jerri G. 13 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Beautiful view, spent hours on the deck by the fire pit.

It’s very close to the marina and has beautiful views. The host was very communicative and helpful. Would definitely recommend for a lake trip! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### DeeAnn P. 30 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful We were extremely pleased with this cabin!
