Sue and Dave were great hosts. Very quick to communicate. We left a pillow behind and Sue was kind enough to ship it to us. Check in was easy. The house had everything we needed as well as extras we were not expecting. Such as snacks and basic toiletries. The decor was a bit cluttered. IMHO. Beds were comfortable. The home is in a quite cove and the dock was shared. We did have a minor issue with the bath shower drain but Dave took care of it right away. When reporting the issue to Susan she stated, "I wish the cleaning crew would have reported the shower issue prior to our arrival." Likely the reason they didn't report the shower issue in my opinion was because they didn't clean the shower prior to our arrival and my sister in law cleaned it before she felt comfortable using it. We admit to being somewhat clean freaks so there were areas we felt could have been better maintained. We were satisfied overall. We rented a boat for half a day and explored the lake. Really nice and peaceful. There is a great bike trail a few blocks away that we took advantage of as well. Overall a positive experience. For the price to stay we probably wouldn't revisit. We are likely better suited at a resort setting. We were 2 couples. If you have a larger family group and wanted to be on the water this property is a good choice.

Why they chose this property

Cabin is on Monkey Island close to Shangri La Resort which has a new million-dollar arcade and new 3 Par course opened May 2023. You can easily rent a boat with 2 marinas close by. If you have a plane, you can fly in, and we can pick you up. The quiet cove is great for fishing and swimming. Best of all there are no stairs which makes it perfect for seniors. You can be in your boat in one minute from house.

What makes this property unique

Grand Lake of Cherokee have lots of activities including boating, golfing, and fishing. We invite you to be our guest. Relaxing and enjoying friends/family with a week getaway. Making lasting memories is what it's all about. We offer free to use a paddle boat, canoe, and 1 paddle boards. Life jacket, lily pad, and float toys in shed.
Vacation here and I'm sure that you'll want to return year after year.
