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 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.

"Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us. What a wonderful retreat. The view, the ease of the house & the kitchen is a dream. We love your paintings. You made it easy having all the amenities. We enjoyed the lake, we rented a boat and toured the area. We ate breakfast on the deck as we watched all the activity on the water. The hummingbirds and finches entertained us - how relaxing this home is. You truly have a spectacular place. Thank you!"

"The kitchen was a joy to cook in, and I don't even like to cook! The Knights of the Round Table was fun to sit and we enjoyed using the animal napkin holders! Watching the hummingbirds & yellow finch was a delight enjoyed by all every day! The windows with the gorgeous lake view were such a peaceful welcome each morning we awakened in the fabulous master suite. The whole family enjoyed choosing their favorite artwork...what a beautiful personal touch it provided the gorgeous home!..It was a wonderful time with family & friends that were able to come from Oklahoma City for a few days. Thank you for providing such a wonderful place for others to enjoy and relax! A marvelous treat!"

"I'm sure you hear this quite often, but this was fantastic and for me...a little slice of heaven. Our groups was "richly" blessed in many ways and we'll be talking about this for some time. Literally - everything we needed was a cabinet or a drawer away. Cannot imagine it being any better! Helen was fantastic too! She made the arrival personable & easy to walk into. Bottom line - just amazing!

I just wanted to take the time to say how great our stay was. Of course we were looking forward to it being on the lake and all, as well as, the beautiful pics....but WOW, I never dreamed it would be so much more. Helen met me and gave me a great orientation and prepared me for the arrival of my group. Everything you could imagine that you would need was available. Bob and Annette...thank you both for truly thinking outside the box and making this trip more than a memory....it was a fantastic experience! Many blessings to you and Helen. Burke (Midland, TX)

Pictures do not do this home justice! It looks beautiful online but even better in person. We have stayed at many rental homes in Florida, Texas, Hawaii, and Minnesota, and this was the best supplied and equipped home we have ever seen. The owners and caretaker Helen LOVE this home and it shows. The design and decor are first class through out. Such attention to detail from the coffee bar to providing beach towels, games/books/movies, basketball goal, as well as more househould/kitchen items than you'll ever need make this rental outstanding. The French flatware drawer is genius! I want one! Grand Lake is a beautiful, clean, quiet lake and we, from age 6-60, loved every minute. Thank you, Bob and Annette, for sharing your impeccable home with us.
Owner response:Thank you so much for the wonderful review on our lake house! We do love the house and it is always our goal to make it a little "oasis" for anyone who stays there including ourselves. We travel all over the world and whenever possible we try to rent an apartment or house through VRBO and bring back any special touches other owners have provided at their homes. Without our wonderful house manager, Helen, and all the other people involved in getting the house in tip top shape for our guests, we would not be able to rent out the house. It gives us great pleasure knowing that the special touches are appreciated and that our guests have had a special experience that builds great memories. Many thanks for the very kind words!

"When the whole family is together, the soul is in place." ..."Our second stay at your beautiful lake house was just as special as the first one two years ago. Thank you for providing such a special "get away" place. Once again, we had so much to celebrate, but being all together was the best celebration of all. We look forward to visiting again in the near future...it was a pleasure meeting both of you." - Tulsa, Oklahoma/Lawrence, Kansas

"We had wonderful family vacation. Your home is beautiful & very comfortable. sitting out on the back patio with parents, children and grand children will be a memory that lasts forever. The view, the birds, the water and the peaceful sounds were all great. The large dinner table was also really nice......I would like to thank Ray for building the wheelchair ramp for my 16 year old grandson and my dad...The landscaping is also beautiful. We had a great time.
