Really awesome things: location! Views were incredible. Loved being able to kayak off the dock and we did frequently. Kitchen was well stocked. Beds were very comfortable. Liked having a full size washing machine and dryer. Someone else mentioned water pressure problems but we thought it was fine. The place is very tastefully decorated. Shops were only 15 minutes away. Has Netflix and fun board games. We left some playing cards for future guests.
Things to improve: There were drain flies in the bathrooms and therefore all around the house. They were everywhere! Cleanliness: The floors, linens, sinks, and toilets were clean, but the fans, baseboards and windows were very dusty. Tons of bugs in the windowsills and screens. I get that it’s the south, but a vacuum to the closets, sliding door tracks, and windowsills would go a long way. The piles of dead bugs in the bathroom on the side of the sink and toilet were unsightly but we swept them up with a broom. Also, there’s no driveway and after a rainstorm there were a lot of puddles and mosquitoes.
We had a great time though and the property manager was very polite and responsive. When the toilet wasn’t working, she sent someone right up and he fixed it that day. Also, the AC unit wasn’t working right when we arrived and she offered to have someone fix that (we just left it set to 72). Cherokee Lake is an amazing place and this house was good value to house a big group (5 adults and 2 kids).
