Sunset Marina and Resort on Dale Hollow Lake Offers Late Summer and Fall-Spectacular Vacations

Byrdstown, TN (PRWEB) August 12, 2010

For those who love the water, Sunset Marina and Resort on Dale Hollow Lake has late summer and early fall vacation opportunities at prices which are greatly reduced from the peak summer rates. Labor Day ?last weekend of the summer? houseboats and cabins are still available, but filling up fast. With the continued hot weather, there is nothing better than a weekend on the crystal clear waters of Dale Hollow Lake. And no marina has more to offer than Sunset Marina and Resort.

?Many of our fall guests come back annually to experience Dale Hollow Lake at what they consider to be the best time of the year. For those seeking a relaxing and quiet vacation, there is no better place than the lake in the fall,? said Sunset Marina owner, Tom Allen.

Breakfast on the water at the Sunset Restaurant followed by a day of pontooning, boating, swimming, hiking and exploring, or jet skiing, make for an incredible, memory-making weekend. Cabins for families or groups of friends, accommodating up to 12, provide the comforts of home. A vacation on a luxury houseboat is incredible any time of the year, but enjoying the less-crowded waters at the end of summer, makes it even more special.

And then comes the fall?some say it is the best time of the year on the water. September?s cool nights and warm days are ideal on Tennessee?s premier houseboat lake. The lower levels of the water allow access to more hiking and exploring the shore lines than when the water is higher earlier in the year. While mid-summer brings families and crowded coves, the fall brings peace and quiet, clear nights, and incredible star gazing.

Water temperatures remain in the 80s for most of September, and even into October, so swimmers will enjoy the calm, clear waters. Fish begin to nibble again and anglers can drop a line as they dream of catching the next world record smallmouth bass. Crappies, Largemouth bass, Kentucky bass, catfish, walleye and Brim are plentiful. For water-craft owners, boat slips are available to rent at Sunset Marina and Resort, and water-side or water-view cabins are also an excellent way to experience the lake.

Mid-to-late October brings the colorful fall foliage, a photographer?s paradise. Trees reflect in the pristine, mirror-like water providing breathtaking views. Wildlife can be seen early morning or at dusk, drinking or playing in the water. Dale Hollow Lake?s variety of wildlife and birds is as varied as the coves and fingers of the lake. Fall?s quiet brings them out of their hiding.

For adults who want to enjoy a relaxing and refreshing vacation on or near the water, Sunset Marina and Resort on Dale Hollow Lake is the perfect place. Fall?s less-crowded waters are the ideal ?private-lake? experience.

Families Aren't Allowing The Struggling Economy To Stop Them From Enjoying Affordable House Boating Vacations at Sunset Marina and Resort on Dale Hollow Lake

Byrdstown, TN (PRWEB) July 21, 2011

When comparing dollar-for-dollar in this tight economy, many large families are finding that affordable, and fun, vacations are as close as a trip to Sunset Marina and Resort on Dale Hollow Lake. While the economy tends to influence most families while planning their vacation destinations, many realize the value and memorable activities associated with a trip to the lake. Dale Hollow Lake, in North-Central Tennessee, overlapping into South-Central Kentucky, is within a day?s drive of more than 50% of the nation?s travelers. And the variety of activities while on the lake is extensive.

?Every year we listen to our customers as to what they are looking for when visiting the lake,? said Sunset Marina and Resort General Manager, Tom Allen. ?If there is something we need to add, we do it. Our object is to make their vacations fun! This year we added Paddle Boards to our rentals. They are becoming very popular with all ages.?

Jet skis, ski boats, paddle boats and the new paddle boards can be rented by the hour or day at Sunset Marina and Resort. But with the amenities on the houseboats, like VCRs, a swim platform, slide, and on some, even a hot tub, families find that grabbing some floats or a noodle for the water is a great way to spend the afternoon. Water games during the day, and board games or star-gazing at night brings families together creating memories that last a lifetime.

When staying on a house boat from Sunset Marina during a typical summer vacation, the price per person, per day, is generally less than most destination vacations around the country. For example, the 65? x 16? mid-size cruiser sleeps up to 10 guests. For two families of five who want to share expenses, the cost equates to less than $ 50 per person per day in peak summer months, less in late summer, or spring and fall. Even when you add in the cost of gas for the houseboat, the cost is still more affordable than many other destinations. Another huge advantage of house boating is that you bring your own food, so you eliminate the high cost of dining out ?on the road.? You have complete control over the expenses associated with your vacation. And of the type of food you eat!

Dale Hollow Lake has 625 miles of shoreline, so finding different locations and visiting different coves brings a new adventure daily. There are plenty of hills to hike, lots of places to pull into the shore and explore, public beaches and camping sites and of course a whole lake for those who enjoy fishing. Swimming, skiing, and even snorkeling and scuba diving are popular on this crystal-clear, shale-bottom lake. A week on the lake is unlike any other vacation.

Sunset Marina and Resort on Dale Hollow Lake offers three sizes of house boats, ranging from the 50? x 17? Family Cruiser, which sleeps up to eight, to the elegant, 74? x 20? Flagship, which sleeps up to 12. All three floor plans have queen size beds, full kitchens with all necessary cooking and serving utensils, and one or two full baths. Plus each houseboat has flat screen TVs, DVD players, Satellite Radio, blankets and pillows (bring your own sheets and towels), and a gas grill on the deck. Each houseboat features a top sundeck with a canopy to get away from the sun or enjoy the cooler nights on the water. Star-gazing is optional, but suggested by most lake visitors.
