Lakefront Escape / New Boat Dock/Bring Your Boat

Just show up and relax in this 4BR 2.5BATH fully remodeled home with a separate kids retreat (bring their game station and hook it up to our TV). The view is incredible and as you walk down the gentle sloped yard to enter beautiful Lake Cherokee (59 miles long). We have just installed a brand-new boat dock that is 32' X 32' with a 27' X 11' boat slip. (Since Lake Cherokee is a reservoir water levels vary- best time May-August) You can kayak on one of our 5 available kayaks or 2 paddle boards. There is also a fire pit that you can roast marshmallows by the fire and enjoy the sunset. If you like you can even fish off the shoreline. Panther Creek State Park is only 15 minutes away where you can enjoy hiking multiple hiking trails. The Smoky Mountains and Pigeon Forge is approximately 1 hour away. You can rent a pontoon boat from the marina that is 7 minutes away. After relaxing at the house, you may not want to leave.

75 year-old mom said one of her best trips

The house was beautiful… extremely clean and very well laid out. Owner made the check in process very easy and was great to communicate with. The amenities in the house were just as stated, plenty of plates and dishes, pots and pans to do all the cooking and eating that our family loves to do. The kayaks and tubes available were well- loved by our teenage boys. The dock was fantastic for our boats and late evening swimming. The gentle sloping hill allowed my 75 year old mom get to the boats easily, have her privacy and go out on the lake with us. She loved watching her grandkids play around at the dock and fish. The deck was fantastic for gathering of the family and just enjoying the view. There was plenty of parking in the driveway for our two trucks and trailers. Boat dock was easy to launch. Thanks for sharing your house with our family. We absolutely loved our trip!

Awesome family house

We all enjoyed our stay at the lake house. From grandparents to teenagers. A big plus for us was that everything was on 1 level and we were able to bring our dogs. The boat dock is a great addition that allowed us to rent a boat for a few days and enjoy exploring the lake. Kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. Would definitely return for another lake vacation.

Vacation

We had a great stay! We had our family and another. All teenagers. The place had all the amenities and a step above. We ran out of coffee and the house had us backed up. We always bring our own spices and towels as well and the place had that too. The kayaks were great and the cove by the house was great for fishing and exploring. The new dock was easy to use with our boat. The cove was quiet and peaceful. The covered porch was great when we had rain and just played games. We really enjoyed our stay and the host was easy to communicate with and responded quickly.

Beautiful and spacious retreat!!

We absolutely enjoyed our time at this lake house!!! The house is close to a boat ramp. So, it was extremely easy to get our boats into the water and around the cove to the house. The dock had plenty of space to secure two boats, store our stand up paddle boards, small floating island and still had plenty of space to cannonball into the lake. There was an abundance of indoor and outdoor space to relax and enjoy family activities together. The sunset views were gorgeous and the lake wasn’t busy, even on the weekend! Michelle was very prompt and thorough in all of her communication with us. Will definitely keep this house on our list of vacation spots!

Lake House

We had a fantastic time with family from Ohio, Texas and Massachusetts, ages 7 to 96. There was lots of room for the 11 of us. The 4 kids loved the bunk bed room and everyone enjoyed the kayaks. It was a short drive to the marina, where we rented a pontoon boat for a day, and the grocery store. Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg were not far away. Michelle was very prompt in answering any questions we had. If we are ever going to that area, I wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again.

Great Lake

Lake was amazing. House was older but had many updates making it comfortable and enjoyable. The back porch and kayaks/paddle boards were used daily. We had a rough start due to prior guest activity but the owner worked hard to get us comfortable and enjoying our stay as quickly as possible,which we did. Thank you!

Summer getaway

Our family of 4 enjoyed this property. The home was really clean and well maintained. All the amenities of home. The 4 bedrooms were great and our nieces came to visit for a night and the bedroom with the bunk beds worked out perfectly. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t cooperate, so we didn’t get to enjoy the kayaks and paddle boards much. We did find hiking in Panther Creek State Park which was very close by. We did have some sunshine on the last day and rented a pontoon boat and went tubing. The lake was quiet and not crowded. We also spent some time driving a little over an hour to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. We had a great time and thank you for sharing your property with us.

Nice house, nice host, ok Lake

The layout of the house was great for our family. Everything was on one floor with the bedrooms and living room on the opposite ends of the house was great for earlier kid bed times. The house had recently renovated finishes with nice, appliances. The bed in the master was very comfortable and the shower water pressure was fantastic. My main criticism is less with the house so much as the lake/town. The shore of the lake was a bit rocky and more dirt than sand. I think with older kids it would have been fine, but our kids are both younger. We ended up doing more day trips than hanging on the lake as a result. There wasn’t much to do in the immediate surrounding area but we ended up doing day trips to Pigeon forge (~45 mins) and Knoxville (~30 mins). There was a decent strip of restaurants/ice cream shops in Madisonville as well (~20 mins). Michelle was a great host and was able to get us into the house early.

Great lakefront house for larger group

Great layout for our larger group of 7. The separation of the kitchen area and bedrooms was nice. The house was very clean. A bit of slope to the water but manageable even for the grandparents. The kayaks and paddleboards got used daily. A boat ramp is close by and we kept our boat at the shoreline. Owners were very responsive and accommodating.

Lakeside getaway

Recently renovated house right on Cherokee Lake with nice amenities. The house was clean, the furniture and beds were very comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked with all of the gadgets and features we needed. We also enjoyed the kayaks, paddle boards, inner tubes, life vests, and corn hole set that was provided. The location is at the south end of Cherokee Lake (which is huge), and thus we did spend quite a bit of time in the car traveling to points of interest around the lake (state parks, marinas, shopping) however that also meant that the neighborhood the house is located is very quiet and relaxing. We barely saw anyone else around when we were at the house.

Great family vacation

We spent Thanksgiving here to give our 5 kids a shorter drive for the holiday. We had such a great time in spending time together in this beautiful house. The lake was very low, but we weren't expecting to spend time in the lake anyway. We played ping pong, played darts, took some lovely hikes around the neighborhood and nearby trails. We would come back for sure.

Rental smelled very old and not clean

I could tell remodeling was being done, but, the basement stairs was an issue, almost fell. No carpet in the house,wet kids slipping around the floor. It smelled like it had been closed up for awhile, didn't smell like any kind of sanitizer or bleach... The vents were disgusting. Dangerous back deck for kids. The ping pong table shouldn't have been that close to the basement, kids almost fell down the stairs. The only thing that was ok, was the kayaks and the lake. Spider webs and cob webs when you open the sliding doors in the living room. The doors were very outdated. Washer and dryer outdated. Sliding screens need replacement. We really didn't even stay in the house, I think I might as well of pitched a tent in the back yard. House was not ready by no means to be rented. Husband is very disappointed especially for the price. That was ridiculous.

Wonderful Time in Tennessee

We had a great time. The ping pong table and the kayaks they were a big hit with our grandkids. The marina is close and very reasonable to rent a pontoon for a day or two. The lake was clean and warm. Everything was as stated in the description, the kitchen is well equipped to help prepare meals and the fire pit was fun to sit around and roast marshmallows. It is close to Food City and Walmart if needed. We all agreed it was the most relaxing vacation we have had. We will definitely share our experience with family and friends how great it was hopefully we are able to come back some day.

Fun in the Sun

This lakeside house was perfect for our family vacation. We were a group of nine for three days and for most of the rest of the 8 days, we were a group of 8 plus two dogs. The house was beautiful, spacious, and comfortable - very uncluttered and clean. The backyard led to the lake where we all spent most of our time. We rented a pontoon boat for a few days and docked it right there on the shoreline. The house was equipped with everything we could want for having a good time and great meals. Our family enjoyed the kayaks (adult and children's), tubes, and noodles. We made good use of the grill and though we did not use the fire pit, it was nice that it was there. We thoroughly enjoyed the ping pong tables. And, though we avoided the darts to save their walls from our lack of skill, the board was there to enjoy. On comfort, we all rate the property as a 10/10. The bedrooms were spacious and beautiful. The beds including even the bunk beds had new foam-top mattresses with very soft and still new-seeming sheets and comfy pillows. The kitchen was spacious and well appointed. The outdoor porch space with the lake views was our preferred morning coffee gathering spot. And we really appreciated that the owners/managers allowed us to bring our two furry family members. We all loved this property and this vacation week! Thank you, Michelle!

Wonderful stay! We were a family reunion of 3 brothers, 2 sister-in-laws, niece from IN and afternoon/dinner visits from our daughter, her husband and their 2month old daughter. Michelle’s home was Perfect for us! We ended up having all 7 days of meals in-house because of the usefulness of the great remodeled large kitchen. Played few ping pong games on their new table, all new balsa & paddles. Enjoyed their kayaks many days. We rented a pontoon boat & were able to dock right at the shore in front. Many hours floating included. Such a wonderful porch we rarely used the dining & living rooms. Overall, we absolutely enjoyed our visit & hope to return for a more extended future stays.
