Lakeside: King Bed, Firepit, Kayaks & Fishing Gear | Cottage in Gallatin

There is no better feeling than hearing, seeing and smelling the lake while relaxing under the shade of your own private covered deck…knowing that at any moment you can step out of your chair and take a stroll of 56-steps down to the water's edge.
It's the cozy & rustic interior and quiet wildlife views that give this lake-front home its name Cozy Cottage, but it's the freedom of being in constant serenity that gives it its spirit.
Outdoor Games, fishing gear and 3 kayaks are included.
The experience of spending time here wouldn’t be complete without sharing it with your loved ones, including your furry companions.
Nestled in the serene Sunset Bay Resort of Gallatin, The Cozy Cottage on Old Hickory Lake, spanning 988 sq ft, offers a spacious retreat for up to 2 guests. Featuring a pristine primary bedroom with ensuite on the main level leading out to the living areas with expansive lake views from the wall of windows, this lakefront haven fulfills every dream of an idyllic lakeside home.
This perfect oasis to escape the stress of your everyday-life wouldn’t be complete without a full-size kitchen, finished with nice appliances, granite and everything you need, including spices. There is no meal that can’t be prepared here and enjoyed al fresco on the shaded deck including grilled steaks.
The Cozy Cottage is located just minutes outside of Gallatin, 30 minutes from downtown Nashville and 35 minutes from Nashville Airport. The neighborhood is walking & biking friendly.

**COVE INFORMATION**
Please keep in mind that due to the location of the shoreline in the cove, the current may occasionally bring in debris, including wood, trash, and often entire trees. Moss and algae are part of living on the water, and we have very little control over what the current brings in on a daily basis. We try to keep the area cleaned out; however, we are not on-site daily. If you encounter any issues during your stay, don't hesitate to reach out to us; we're here to make your experience unforgettable.
