The Waterfront Home Directly on Dale Hollow Lake

Experience Dale Hollow Lake like nowhere else. The Lake House on Dale Hollow is the only privately owned home available to rent directly on the shoreline—separate from marina or resort accommodations.

This is lake life without the schedule. Come and go from the water throughout the day—pull in for lunch, head back out, or stay on the lake until sunset without the hassle of trailering your boat or returning to a marina.

Explore Dale Hollow — Beyond the Obvious

This isn’t a list of typical stops or obvious attractions. Each article here highlights a specific place, experience, or moment that adds something unexpected to a stay at Dale Hollow Lake—on the water and beyond it.

These are the kinds of discoveries you won’t find on generic “things to do” lists, helping you shape a stay that feels personal, unrushed, and your own.

Off The Lake
Take time to explore beyond the shoreline—scenic overlooks, back roads, small towns, and local spots that give you a better sense of the area. These are simple outings best enjoyed when you’re not rushing back to the water or following a packed itinerary.

On The Lake
Spend your time on the water exploring places that aren’t obvious from the main channels—interesting shoreline discoveries, rope swings, and underwater features you only notice when you slow down and know where to look. 

Whether you’re craving quiet mornings on the water or epic days filled with exploring, these are the kinds of moments that come from being able to stay on the lake all day, and not rush back to get your boat out before dark.

LEARN MORE ABOUT US

The Lake House on Dale Hollow has been a family vacation home for over 40 years. In fact, my sister and I grew up coming to the lake every summer, and the time we spent on Dale Hollow remains some of my fondest childhood memories.

Then, in 2020, I moved full-time to Dale Hollow Lake with my wife and two boys. Since then, I’ve been incredibly fortunate to watch my kids make their own memories at this magical place.
