About this house rental

This family cabin is nestled among almost 2 acres of old growth hardwood trees on the main channel of Cherokee Lake. Sitting on the deck, you feel like you are uplifted in the treetops. You can see the beauty of the Cumberland Mountains on the horizon, just beyond the Cherokee Dam. The vivid sunset colors in the summer seem to change by the minute, enjoying theat view is a great way to finish the day. With that being said, it is a perfect getaway for nearly every season. The cabin offers the opportunity to disconnect from your everyday demands and reconnect with family. The cabin is located on a windy country road with large wooded lots. Deer, turkey, and other wildlife are commonly seen when driving through the area. During the summer months, you can relax on the deck, explore nature on the property, and catch fireflies at night. The summer days also provide an opportunity to spend the day on Cherokee Lake which is a TVA reservoir. Swimming in the lake is part of our daily routine. We sometimes take a night swim under the stars. Kayaks are provided as a free activity and pontoon boats can be rented from the marina across the cove or Cedar Hill Boat Dock. Cedar Hill has great customer service and great prices. Nearby Panther Creek State Park is a great place to take a hike or swim in the water surrounded by the wooded hills. It is a great destination if you rent a pontoon boat. Highly recommended. Depending on the time of year the water level may be down, fishing & boating off the dock will not be available. The beautiful large deck overlooking the lake makes a great place to enjoy your morning coffee or some casual outdoor dining. The property is mostly secluded with no neighbors on either side. There are frequently deer roaming in the early morning and evening. The large trees are beautiful and keep things fairly cool in the summer with abundant shade. Just spending the day playing on the lake, taking a nap, reading a book, or playing games

The cabin's interior is comfortable and cozy. The home is more of an experience to disconnect and enjoy nature. There is lots of privacy here. The home features 3 bedrooms and one bathroom. The home is appropriately 900sq feet. There is also an amazing outdoor shower with hot and cold water overlooking the lake. The outdoor shower has full privacy with large walls and elevation. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to make cooking simple. There is no interior dining table, we do have tray tables & fold out tables available. There is lots of outdoor seating & place to eat. There is no dishwasher and we keep the refrigerator on the covered porch to maximize the view and space the inside the house. There is a new washer and dryer for your convenience. We also have fiber optic internet with WiFi and a smart TV. We have a gradual slope to the lake to enjoy kayaking, fishing, and swimming. We have 4 adult and 1 child kayak available for use. Enjoy our cabin for a fun family vacation, a fishing week with the boys, or a relaxing weekend away with the girls.

The Great Smoky Mountains National Park, most visited park in the United States is only 45 minutes away from our cabin. We highly recommend spending part of a day by the Little Pigeon mountain stream in the Chimneys Picnic area. Grills are available for every picnic table.

Traveling with our dog and to have direct access to the lake so she could swim was our goal. The owner is very responsive and resolved a problem with our check-in immediately. This is a very private cottage on the lake with woods on both sides of the property. It is modest, but wow what a sunset view from the back deck overlooking the water. Fun fact, the TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority) releases Cherokee lake water levels to manage the mosquito population. I think we had witnessed 1 mosquito the whole visit. Water craft travelers should check in with owner about the lake level to be sure the new dock is floating. The house was clean but the outside deck is due for a scrub, but no big deal. What I liked was the relaxed feel of the host allowing our dog to stay without the endless list of dos & don'ts that many other owners demand. It really allows for a relaxing stay.

Great little cottage on a very private lot. Communications with the owner was top notch, the cottage was super clean and comfy. The lake was not at full capacity, even on Memorial Day, and the private dock was fully beached. My main reason for renting was to fish as many hours per day as possible, but I had to do so from the bank. Not the owner's fault that the water was not up, but I made the most of it. Loved the quiet seclusion and the overall experience.
