LOCATED WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE TO CHEROKEE LAKE AND 8 MILES FROM DOUGLAS LAKE

Located 500 yards from the Cherokee TVA Dam Boat ramp, 15 minutes from Douglass Lake in Dandridge, and 30 minutes from Great Smoky Mountains. Ample parking for bass boats with circle drive. Great outdoor getaway for a weekend or whole week! Full bath upstairs. We have beautiful views of East Tennessee and minutes from Cherokee Lake. You and your family can enjoy days of swimming, fishing, jet skiing, water skiing, hiking, canoeing, and all within the comforts of home. Well known professional Bass fishermen stayed here during the 2017 Spring Bass Elite Series Tournament and were very pleased with the convenience and set-up of our family house. Attached screened in porch for outdoor use.

Beautiful home close to the lake!

This was a beautiful home just a minute drive from a great swimming hole, boat dock, and fishing spots. Jeannie was a doll to work with and responded quickly to all correspondence. We will be returning. Thanks also for the case of bottled water and bag of ice left in the fridge for us due to the high July temps for the week. This home was immaculate and well supplied with any thing you could ever need.

Great Christmas

We stayed in this house for Christmas while visiting family and I was so happy that Jeannie took the time to not only decorate the inside of the house but the outside also, and we even had a small tree we were able to use for Christmas morning! This really made being away from our own home during the holiday much better. The house was comfortable and had a lot of room and everything we needed. We have a 16 month old and although there are a lot of antiques in the home it was still very suitable and we did not worry about her breaking or damaging anything which took a lot of worry away. Overall we described the house to our friends as staying somewhere comfortable like your grandmother's home.

Great little getaway!

We stayed at Jeannie’s house for a long weekend. It was in a very quiet area which is exactly what we were looking for. Jeannie was very helpful and made sure we got there safe. We weren’t planning on spending a lot of time in the house because we had a lot of hiking and exploring to do in Gatlinburg, but the house was very cozy in the evenings when we came back! Definitely a must stay if you’re in the area or traveling around the area!

Wonderful house on Cherokee Reservoir

Jeannie is a wonderful hostess! The 2 bedroom cottage by Cherokee Lake is warm and inviting! Very cozy and totally equipped kitchen to include coffee, filters, creamer and bottled water. Bathroom very clean and she provided any supplies needed. We felt like we were staying with family. Striper fishing was awesome! Great diner 1/2 mile away and house is 1/2 mile from the dam. LOVED this house and East Tennessee! We will definitely be back!

Quiet retreat

I was pleased to no end with this beautiful house. It's far enough from the hustle and bustle of the city life to have total quiet but close enough if you had to you could. All the essentials are there. The lake is so close it calls to you. We were blessed to have such a beautiful location to enjoy our long weekend. Highly recommend to anyone. Loved it. :

Great stay

It is a very peaceful setting. Convenient to the lake access. Loved the house. It's clean, comfortable, and has plenty of room. I would stay here again. Owner is very easy to deal with. There's a dollar general just past the river and a gas station which made picking up forgotten items much easier than going back to town. Also a bait shop within eye sight of the house.

You can't see or hear any water from this place. It's just a house in the country

Tried to hold deposits because I didn't put sheets in a hamper I never saw. And food in the refrigerator. There was only one small trash can and no trash service. The house was full of antique furniture that was very brittle looking. I couldn't relax in this house. Paid for 4 adults but only 2 beds. She expected me to buy 2 air mattresses. But the dishonesty with the deposit was the topper.

Great home and great homeowner!

Last minute stay for a volleyball camp being held at nearby Carson-Newman University for our daughter. We decided to stay closer to the school rather than make the drive daily for her camp. Jeanne (homeowner) was amazing to work with and even had ice and bottled water for us at the home! Super close to the lake which was an added bonus! Home was beautiful with lots of antiques and charm. Will definitely stay here again as our daughter plans on attending CNU and I’m sure there will be more weekend trips up to the area!
