As stated further in the "amenities" section, we have a Smart TV but due to being in such a remote location, the internet here has severe outage problems and at best is very spotty, thus we have opted not to have it any longer. We have found that using the hotspots on our phones to be more reliable and have had greater success with Netflix or standard TV stations this way. We hate this as much as you do because it has taken a lot of our time to try to find a solution and the correct fit. Please use this as our official fine print that the service is unreliable and there will be NO compensation for no internet or mobile connectivity issues. We do research periodically if there are any better provider options that we can try to improve this. Thanks for understanding!!**

Great Lake Location
Beautiful lake view in quiet cove. Nice house with plenty of indoor and outdoor space. Beds were comfy and kitchen was well stocked. Quick 15 minute drive to Clarksville town center. Only complaint are the large rocks at the very end of path to the lake. Truly enjoyed our family time at the lake cottage!

About the host

Hosted by Traci Gibbs

Host profile image
We are northerners who moved south and love the water. Our dear friend Mary Ellen had a vacation home that she shared with folks and we vowed to carry her tradition & share this home with others. Sadly, she passed in 2012 before we bought this but we named it her favorite phrase.

What makes this property unique

OBJ is a very private home at the end of the road on a private cove only minutes from the open water and a short drive into Clarksville, proper. We have room for 10 people. Our property is beautifully set back on the lake with a lovely water view but has water access via a stone path. We offer use of kayaks and paddle board. Or just kick back in the hammock, , have a nap in the screened porch or hang around the fire pit or on the deck overlooking the water and chat with family and friends.
