Map & Owner's Profile
Luxury Grand Lake Home
Year Purchased: 2000
Why the Owner Chose Grand Lake of the Cherokees
We actually bought the property back in 1992. There was originally an old 1950's house that had no curb appeal and we saw the potential. The fact that we have 600+ feet of shoreline and a protected cove for our boat dock made it the perfect location as well as the fact we are at the end of the road!
The Unique Benefits at this Lake House
There are actually five separate porches (three are covered) where you can sit out and enjoy the world or chat with your friends and family. It is intimate and yet everyone can easily have their own space. You can also sit down at the table on the dock and enjoy the sounds of nature or share a meal.
Another feature we offer is our wonderful home manager Helen. We could never rent the house without Helen's help. Helen coordinates our housekeeping crew and makes sure everything is in perfect order for your stay. She will meet you at the house and show you it's special features and answer any questions you may have. We have rented houses where no one meets you, the key is missing and the house was not cleaned properly so we know how important those details are to anyone choosing to rent a luxury home or apartment.
Owner's Map of Grand Lake of the Cherokees
We completed construction on our lake house in 2000. Since Bob retired from practicing medicine in 2006, we enjoy traveling and spending the summers in Wisconsin near Lake Michigan. Our favorite seasons at the lake are Fall and Spring. The lake has always been a great place to create warm memories for us as well as our friends and we hope you will feel the magic here as well.

"Your home has been a beautiful wonderful paradise for us. We could not have asked for a more special place to host our families as we joined each other in our marriage. Everyone felt at home and honored that you would allow us the use of your very special place on Grand Lake. I have been coming to and lived on this lake since 9175 and watched as your home was built. Never dreamed I would actually have the opportunity to call it home for a very special weekend in my life. Thank you again and please thank Helen for us. She was warm and gracious on our arrival and introducing us to your home. We hope to return again if you will allow us!" Meridith and Bill "M" family Wildwood, Missouri

"We all agreed that this was one of a kind vacation, extremely relaxing and of all the most comfortable one. It was like being home away from home. At first I didn't know what to expect, because the pictures over the internet do not do justice to what we experienced. Your home is breath taking. The amenities are incredible and the view is to die for. We will definitely consider staying there again and for sure recommending your home to family and friends. Helen was darling to us and we appreciate her very much."

"In the busy, fast paced lives that we all live, too often we forget to slow down and "smell the roses" but that is just what we did this week! Thank you for sharing your home with our family and friends this vacation week. We celebrated so many things-a milestone birthday, an anniversary, Father's Day, an engagement, a new baby on the way, the memory-making antics of grandchildren- but most of all we just celebrated life and all it's pleasures as we put our feet up and relaxed! We swam, fished, ate, played games, read, ate, went boating, chased lizards and ate some more. We took a picture of the fox looking in the window at us from the patio, got a picture of the 2 fawns drinking from the lake, and a group picture of our family all together - which is truly a rare sighting! Thanks so much for your generous spirit and hospitality ...we look forward to coming back again soon!" The "G" family. Tulsa & Kansas
