Stunning Mountain Lake, Private Forest, Beautiful 4 BR & 4 BA

Montlake is a unique mountain lake formed millions of years ago. It is one of the very few natural lakes in Tennessee. Our Montlake Retreat is a very spacious home with about 20 acres of wooded grounds. There are trails around the lake, and there is a waterfall directly across the lake from the terrace. We are family-oriented, but also welcome special interest groups, such as rock climbers, sports teams, fishermen (up to three boats), weddings, reunions. etc.

Montlake has four bedrooms, four baths, living room, library, great room/dining room, kitchen, and laundry room. There are two fireplaces (library and great room) and a large deck above the terrace. It is a long, rambling house, so there is plenty of privacy for everyone. The master bath has a jetted tub and separate shower, as well as a large walk-in closet and bidet. The other three baths have toilets, sinks, and tub-showers. The laundry room has large capacity (front-loading) washer and dryer. The terrace overlooks the lake and is a pleasant place to bask in the sun or gather around a campfire. Added bonus for the kids: If you hike all the way around the lake, you are entitled to ring the antique bell!

The views at Montlake are beautiful.

Here's what our guests have to say:

'Our stay at Montlake was GREAT!!! Your home was so beautiful and comfortable. There was plenty of room for everyone (we had 9 in our group) to relax and do their own thing. The lake was breathtaking, we hiked around the lake, grilled, and enjoyed the sites. The waterfall was beautiful, it had just rained and it was falling very heavily. The location of your home was also great we were just about 20-25 minutes to all attractions, Rock City, Ruby Falls and Chattanooga Railroad Station. Thank you for letting us come to your lovely home. I highly recommend this home to anyone. Hope to stay again next year.' --Carol I.

'We have been recommending your house to friends and family!' --Fabienne V.

'Thank you for the use of your lovely home! We had a relaxed, companiable weekend with our friends. Oh--and the view of the lake is breathtaking! Thank you again; you have a lovely, lovely home.
--Linda and John D.

Montlake is a complete home and we rent to one family or group at a time. We absolutely do not permit subleasing or unscheduled events.

Had a beautiful trip here at Montlake...what a gorgeous view for coffee every morning! The home is spacious and well appointed (including spices if you cook), with a bathroom adjacent to each room. We enjoyed the artwork, fireplace and library. We also loved the trails around beautiful, blue Montlake and the basketball goal. We were pleased to find wood ready there stacked for the firepit and fireplaces! Please note: without vigilant, constant supervision, this is not a place for small kids as described already in the listing. If you require filterered water, you will have to bring it with you! Hostess was super kind, responsive and thoughtful. Would definitely come back!

Our family enjoys vacationing together And this home provided a great home base for us. Plenty of room for us to be together yet have our own space when needed. Brought a kayak with us and some of our family went down and enjoyed the lake as well. We also were able to travel to several waterfalls and enjoy the hike.

A Memorable Experience

After not being able to visit Montlake for decades, this was a very special experience for my wife and me. It is a beautiful location with easy access to a trail leading to the water or around the lake. It would be very comfortable for eight (four couples). I would prefer a king bed in the Master suite vs. two doubles. Some updating would be nice but it was comfortable and extremely clean. The host is very accommodating abd communication was timely. It

Beautiful and privet

If you are looking for modern and new this is not the place for you. If you are looking for a spacious well loved home, you have found it. Everything was very clean! 4 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, 2 living rooms, a study, large dinning and furnish kitchen. The art decorating the home is beautiful and the view is stunning. Can you imagine having a private lake with your very own waterfall and path thur the woods. I highly recommend Montlake Retreat.

Mountain Retreat

My family and I had a great time on vacation from Minnesota. We were blown away by the secluded lake and waterfall. We spent lots of time outside on the giant patio. My 2,4, and 6 year old spent time collecting snails and doing laps around the lake. This house was huge with all the amenities needed.

Great place for group

We had a big group of adults with cars on a climbing trip - this property was big enough to be comfy for all of us, plenty of space and 4 bathrooms so no fighting over showers, lots of parking. There's only 1 key so we had to do a bit of negotiation when we went separate ways during the day, but that was minor. Overall we loved this spot and would stay again.
