About this property

CNU 10 min. Sevierville 45 min. Private dock, kayaks, fire pit. Ample Parking

Enjoy a get-away in a peaceful wooded area surrounded by deer with beautiful lake views and lake access. If you enjoy fishing, there's plenty of room to bring your boat. You can launch from Black Oak Marina about two miles away.
2000 square foot house with 4 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. Large kitchen/great room with updated appliances and seating for 14. Enjoy a nice family dinner in front of the fire place.
Spacious covered porch overlooking Cherokee Lake and gorgeous sunsets. You can sit by the firepit and enjoy the wonderful view.
There is ample space for parking and very minimal steps. The home is very accommodating to seniors or anyone with mobility issues. One bathroom has a large walk-in shower with one small edge to step over when entering the shower.
It is very easy to drive to the cabin. It is about five miles from Walmart and Food City and you don’t have to fight traffic to get to it. You are about 45 minutes from Pigeon Forge and Knoxville - but you get to enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside.

Deer Haven cabin is an excellent place to stay. The 4 bedrooms are all on one floor and that was needed for our older people. The covered front porch is our favorite place to sit and look at the lake and listen to the birds. Just relaxing and catching up on family from 3 states. The hosts are very friendly and responsive if you need anything (which we did not.) The kitchen is well stocked with appliances and utensils. We love our stays here.

We are so glad that you had a good time relaxing and enjoying each others’ company. Making it feel like “home” is important to us, and we are glad that you came back to stay with us. You are wonderful and always welcome at Deer Haven Retreat!

Lovely house and location. The hosts were especially kind and generous. The house was well stocked with supplies we usually need to bring ourselves. Rita (host) even left us a jar of chocolate treats! We had a couple guests in our group with mobility issues so it was nice having a ramp into the house as well as all rooms on one level. Ample space for eight of us. And the deer! Deer Haven Retreat is aptly named--saw 19 at one point! Highly recommend this rental and hope to return in the future.

Ravin' about Deer Haven

Our family all loved our stay. We had plenty of room to visit and play. We especially love the porch. We went over to Cherokee dam 3 mornings to walk and explore. The birds sang to us every day. Rita was speedily responsive to any question we had about minor things. I have a habit of packing many things we may need but the cabin had it all.

About the host

Hosted by Rita and Steve Cash

Host profile image
We have owned this cabin for about two years and have completely remodeled everything. This is our only rental property and we are committed to making it the best possible. It has our undivided attention! We live about one mile from the cabin, so if you need anything please call us.
All of the cleaning is handled by us personally, not a company that has a lot of staff turnover. We truly LOVE this cabin and spend a lot of time here when it is not rented, because it is so peaceful and tranquil. When we walk in, it seems that stress just goes away and a sense of calm just settles in.

Why they chose this property

Peaceful county cabin away from the hustle and bustle of the city, yet close enough to town to find almost anything that want. The interior is spacious and easy to navigate. It is very friendly for elderly or people with physical limitations because there are no steps except a small 5 inch step to enter the house.

What makes this property unique

The large open kitchen/great room invites you to gather with family and loved ones and linger in comfort while catching up with everyone. Beautiful lake views from a peaceful covered porch where a wonderful breeze is often coming up from the lake. If you don't want to be outside, the views are just as lovely from the bay windows inside.
The house is very senior friendly with very few steps and a large walk in shower.
There is plenty of parking if you want to bring a boat.
