The house had plenty of room for a large group or large family we had a great vacation but parking is a problem it really needs additional parking and a bigger dock

Hi Sadie, Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately we are land lock in the drive way. Since we are one of very few rentals we try to be respectful to our neighbors. Yes, we want to build a bigger dock. This is in Paul's plans once he retires. Thank you for staying with us. I will reinforce in the agreement that there is only parking for 4 cars so people will know.

Great House

The perfect house for our family of 10. We really enjoyed the deck and the dock and the open concept of the house. Plenty of room for us to spread out. The house has everything you could need for an enjoyable stay.

Every year our church finds a location to have our men's retreat that allows us to fellowship, have devotionals, play games, etc. This place had exactly what we need. Access to the lake, several nearby marinas, all around good time

Hi Lorri, We are so glad you had a good time. We love the Lake House and hope to retire there soon. I think someone in your party suggested a bench halfway to the lake. We have actually looked at that and once I can weather stain one of the benches inside I will definitely place it down the way. We hope you will consider coming back. Thank you, Liz

Great weekend stay

My bridal party stayed here for my wedding weekend. It had a great common area and plenty of beds for everyone to have their own space. We brought firewood and had a great bonfire by the lake. UberEats had a few options for delivery food that made evenings easy. It had a feel that reminded me of a place you visit over and over as a child. Thanks!

Miracle Family

We love staying here! It is close to home and this is the second year we have stayed here. Clean, comfy beds. Plenty of room for everyone. We enjoyed seeing geese taking a siesta on the bank. Swimming and fishing! Roasting hot dogs and marshmallows. We were able to do it all in one place! Love Love Love!

TERDS Reunion- Go Vols

8 guys that went to UT in the late 70’s and early 80’s drove from 5 states to the Bears Den on Cherokee Lake. Sleeping accommodations were great. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking with adequate refrigerator room when you included the downstairs refrigerators. The living room and dining area worked great for our group. Enjoyed the fire pit and the lake with our own canoes and kayaks. Lot’s to do in the area.

We loved the house and lake frontage. We were a bit surprised how challenging it was to back a boat trailer down tricky driveway—advise not bringing boat much longer than 20 ft. Much larger and there would be no room for other cars. We had to clean almost the entire house before leaving—never had to do this before elsewhere. Housekeeping? Overall, we had a great stay. Perfect place for a large group. All the water toys and nice fire circle. Owner and property manager were nice, helpful and responsive.

So glad you enjoyed the house. Sorry to hear the ramp was a challenge. As I mentioned the best place to launch a boat from October to May is Gilmore Dock. Thank you for staying with us. Liz and Paul

Plenty of space

There were 13 of us staying for the weekend celebrating our family Christmas. The home was beautiful and very spacious. Plenty of room for all of us to spread out. The kids had so much fun. We went down to the lake and skipped rocks and enjoyed sittng on the deck. Kitchen was very well equipped with everything we could possibly need for a dinner. Plenty of dishes and cups as well. All the beds were extremely comfortable and I'm in love with that sofa! We had a wonderful time!

We really enjoyed our stay here! The lake view from so many of the spaces in the house was so pleasant. The house was comfortable for our two families (4 adults and 7 kids/teens). The owners and host were easy to communicate with and quick to respond. The newly renovated and furnished kitchen/dining/living space was great and the kitchen very well stocked. The bedrooms and baths are dated, but very functional and the beds were comfortable. I know they plan for more updates and renovations in the next year, so this home will only get better! (Improved hot water heater and water pressure would be great, but we’d still return even if they aren’t updated.) Washing and drying our linens and cleaning before leaving were a little annoying but there are two sets of washers and dryers and plenty of vacuums, brooms, etc. Overall, we had a lovely Thanksgiving weekend at this home and would definitely consider returning!
Thanksgiving morning view!
We enjoyed the fire pit one evening.

pretty lake, house not so great

The host was great about communication, but to be honest, once we were in the property, i wondered how it got such good reviews. I feel misled. Not enough pictures should have been a clue. the living and kitchen area were nice, but the bedrooms are very small and right on top of each other. No bathroom in master, carpet is old and dirty, holes in walls in old outdated baths. the dock area is dangerous and difficult to get onto dock. If you are on a budget this house is ok, but not up to par for the price in my opinion.

Sandra, Thank you for your review. There are photos of each room on the site. They are no smaller than the photos. As you mentioned we have remodeled the main living area and kitchen. We have tried to do something every year. The glass railing was next. Our plans do include the bathrooms and carpet. TVA lowers the water beginning in July. It is a choice to still use the dock in July and August. In regards to the reviews we have several families that return who are happy to stay at the house. We are sorry you are dissatisfied with your stay. As I mentioned in our conversations we do have limited parking and work hard not to cause harm or disrupt our neighbors. We wish you and your family well in your travels.
