I’ve been on several trips to Lake Chickamauga and this is by far the best accommodations I’ve stayed in. Great location just minutes from Chester Frost ramp. Staff is very friendly and provide advice on lake and fishing conditions. I will definitely be going back.

Talkin Tackle is a gem. Perfect location for a weekend on the lake. Clean, comfy, and effortless check-in and checkout. We walked to the nearby diner for breakfast. We’ll definitely return!

The location was perfect for us. It is close to homes of our family. A very dog friendly location! Coffee was ready every morning. It is important to keep in mind that this is fishing lodge. So if you are not morning person the extra movement in the morning might not go over well. We enjoyed the friendly staff and prompt response to any questions or needs. We will definitely be back!!

Hi Jereme, I am sorry to hear our Nectar mattresses were not comfortable for you. I hope you are able to find accommodations that fit your expectations the next time you visit Hixson. Thank you for giving us a try.

Needed a place to stay for a few days while working in town. This place is fantastic, super friendly & clean. High end mattress was amazing and the mini split a/c was better than any hotel I've stayed in. Do yourself a favor and try this place out. I can't recommend it enough! Has a nice community area to eat at and the tackle shop is loaded.

Game changer!
Fisherman's lodge done right. Game changer to have closed parking, hang-out lobby, and even a tackle shop!!!

Had a great time. We weren't there for fishing, but for a baseball tournament near by and this beat staying in a hotel in every way. It sure did make me want to be fishing though! Store next door is real nice and I might just have to come back for a fishing trip next time!

Great little place, especially if you are a fisherman. It is attached to a bait and tackle shop and guide service. The room was clean and adequate. There is a downstairs common area for use as well

Perfect Stay for Lake Chickamauga
Had a great stay with the folks at Talkin Tackle. Staff was wonderful and facilities were perfect for a Lake Chickamauga fishing trip. Rooms were spacious and very clean. The tackle shop guys were super friendly and will provide tips and places to go to ensure you catch fish. Loved the garage parking for an extra 25 dollars especially in late June. Awesome trip and highly recommend.

Leidet liegt die Unterkunft an der Strasse (sehr Laut) Als wir ins Zimmer kamen lagen da immer noch Putzlappen. Kein Frühstück. Am Schluss kamen noch Gebühren dazu, Preis Leistung stimmt überhaupt nicht.

Hello, I apologize sincerely that cleaning supplies were left in your room at check in. There is no excuse for that over-sight and should have never happened. Yes, we a located right off Hixson Pike and you are able to hear cars drive by; we unfortunately do not have sound proof walls in our hotel. As for the fees associated with your stay, only state tax and lodge tax was added to the base amount per night. These are two taxes that are charged in all hotels. We do not charge city tax since we are located in the county, not within the city limits. Lastly, we do not serve breakfast at this time and we advertise as such in our description. There is however a breakfast restaurant in walking distance from our location. I am sorry that your stay with us did not meet your expectations.
