By simple observation, firebreaks in the village have been an essential need. This especially true as more residents occupy their properties in a small heavily forested area with limited ways out. Roads have grown over the last 15 years and require attention. 90% of this effort is funded outside of POA monies, which is covered in Board Meetings. This process underway ensures safe passage in and out of the village during emergencies, a matter that has been neglected for years. Find out more by attending Board Meetings the first Saturday of each month at 10am! Be in the know!
Take note that the Village at Indian Rock Lake is private property, with the exception of the county road leading to it. This is per the choice of Cumberland County, who refused to adopt village roads as county roads. The office complex and village are private property and private roads until the county decides to adopt those roads. Until then, the POA is responsible to maintain these roads to the best degree possible for residents and members of the Retreat to respectfully use. This is our community responsibility as part of our list of priorities. Private property has different rules from public roads. Please observe the rules of the road and properly care for the facilities that we have.
Given time, the quality of the entire POA can be improved. You are a vital part of this transformation. Doing this on POA inexpensive yearly dues compounds the challenge. Your patience, cooperation and active involvement are appreciated. I’m sure you personally know about rising expenses to do anything. We are neighbors and depend on one another for support. Thanks for your understanding and community spirit. – JP
We know how it is in the spring! Time to knock the cobwebs out and go for a fun blast! But not so fast!
The POA has posted speed limits that all residents and outsiders are expected to observe at all times. The village has a maximum speed limit of 15mph, and is all private property of the Retreat or the residents. The rest of the community is private property with county roads, which are set at 25mph or 35mph as signs post.
No racing of vehicles or excessive speed of any kind are permitted in the POA. This includes racing of engines and motors to attract attention. Do your racing on the trails and properties outside of the POA as allowed by law. Anyone seen racing or damaging our roads is subject to prosecution. WE ARE SERIOUS. Save yourself the trouble and do your speeding and noise making outside the POA.
The POA is working to do a YARD JUNK PICKUP* in mid-May. The idea is to make the POA a cleaner, more orderly and safer place to be. The date is not currently set. If you have old tires, appliances, or scrap that can be safety managed and hauled on a trailer or small flatbed, please contact the office at
(931) 788-6040
to make arrangements. We cannot remove anything from inside your home. JP will call to confirm your request for assistance. We may make a specific arrangement for your situation as needed on a case-by-case basis.
* we cannot take refrigerators, old batteries or hazardous substances. Thanks!

New Burn Pile Mandate Effective April 1, 2025
For all those that have used the “public burn pile” for lot wood debris and project clearing, the Cumberland County Fire Marshal now mandates that you burn lot debris at your lot and obtain a burn permit subject to the rules of the State of Tennessee. NO EXCEPTIONS. The POA will use the current location adjacent to 151 Beach Loop for burning of POA WOOD DEBRIS ONLY from POA projects and cleanup.
DO NOT BRING YOUR MATERIALS TO THE LOCATION OF THE BURN PILE at 151 Beach Loop FOR DISPOSAL.
Thanks for following the rules set out by the county.
Per a POA Board Decision, signs are being posted at the entrances and at key locations at the lakes. Cameras are being used in sensitive areas to patrol for vandalism. Illegal users will be removed. Vandals and fishing thieves will be fined and legally removed from the POA on a permanent basis. Vandalism will result in legal charges and prosecution.
Any member that is not paying dues or late on dues for any reason is NOT entitled to fish or use our private lakes in any capacity. Legal action will be taken as appropriate.
Per a POA Board Decision, QUIET HOURS are in force for the community. Please be respectful of your neighbors and their right to quiet enjoyment of their home and property.

Natural gas service is being offered to the Retreat community-at-large by the local provider. We need 15 households with deposits paid in order to bring natural gas service to the Retreat. If there is interest, we have a “sign up sheet” posted on the announcement board at the Pavilion on the green by the CMRPOA office. If there is interest shown on the sheet, the office will contact those interested so that they can go in to the provider to establish service.
