Dog-friendly, lake-view, and about a two-minute walk to the water on Dale Hollow Lake in Celina, Tennessee. Sleeps 4.
Why guests love it
Your home base for days on the water
Bristow & Brooks isn’t a sprawling luxury retreat. It’s a simple, comfortable home base for people who’d rather spend their time on the water: casting for Dale Hollow’s legendary smallmouth, cruising its deep, clear coves, or floating off the back of a houseboat.
~2 min to the dock
Walk down to the water at Horse Creek Marina. Boat and trailer parking available at the marina.
Dogs welcome
Bring up to two dogs. Many nearby lake cabins don’t allow pets at all.
Covered deck with a view
Grill, outdoor dining for four, and marina and lake views with your morning coffee.
500+ Mbps Wi-Fi
Fast enough to stream or work remotely. Roku smart TV for movie nights.
