For those of you who would rather enjoy the Recreational activities in the Sardis Dam area, there are walking trails, children’s playgrounds, and volleyball courts in the John W. Kyle State Park, you might find yourself fishing at the spillway. No fishing from the dock. Bring your boat and enjoy tubing and skiing on the lower lake where most of the time, the water is as “smooth as glass”! Catch the rays on the beaches, too! The Sardis Lake Marina is 3-4 minutes from the cabin; the public boat ramp is about 3 minutes from the cabin. During crappie season, the cabin has had the privilege of hosting fishermen from MI, KS, KY, NY, AR, LA, IL, MO, OK, TX, MI, MS, SD, ND, NJ, OH, GA and AL just to name a few.

The Aycocks' have been renting their “home away from home” for many years and consistently have happy guests who return year after year. Within the ambiance of the lake house and the area attractions, your time with your family and loved ones will go down as one of your friend’s and family’s favorite memories.
Please NOTE: If you would like to fish, the spillway is about 3 minutes away. The dock at the cabin is off limits due to damage caused by high water over the last couple of years. We are waiting on the Core of Engineers to approve a new retaining wall and dock. There is a fence and gate blocking the area to be repaired.
