Unable to utilize basement with the pool table and ping pong table, because of the broken window covered with a blanket and was too chilly to be in the room.
Hot tub was I inviting and not used. Needed to be cleaned
Size of the house was nice for our group

I only stayed one night because the door’s deadbolt to the master bedroom was not working. Only the knob would lock. There were also two pit bulls next door and the owner didn’t have them on leashes. I have a small dog and one of them started to run to us barking.

The rental was great for our family of 6 plus grandma. Lots of space to spread out and plenty to entertain everyone. We had a great time!

Cabin was nice. Maintenance on this property could be improved. We reported several things that needed to fixed/maintenanced. They were not done during our stay. The maintenance man came over, but did not repair anything. The directions provided by the office got us completely lost. GPS finally got us there. The road was blocked by a downed tree. Called the office and they said they would contact the county. Since it was a holiday weekend, we had to chop up the tree and clear the road ourselves. Road is very narrow and winding to get up to the cabin.

Family trip went well. Had a lot of fun

House was very nice and clean. Beds were comfortable and clean. View was spectacular and we all had a great time. Parking was limited and there was no back yard for kids to play. But the house was large and the play room was fun for them. Over all we loved it!

The property was perfect fro a group of kayak anglers visiting the area to fish the World Championships. Only a short drive from the lake made for easy launches and the house was perfect to relax in after a day on the water.
4.5
We loved the cabin itself, beautiful with great amenities.
Things I wish I had noted more carefully before arriving were that, although that it is close to the water, this is definitely not a waterfront property and you cannot expect to easily to access the lake. Also, the neighbors are all in very close proximity and we could easily see/hear others near us. Finally, the road to this property is very steep and windy. We drive a Dually truck and some of the switchbacks required 3 point turns.

We had a lovely long weekend here. No problems at all! Lots of space for our family to come together from three different states. Lots of stairs but we loved all the deck space. Quiet and private with a lovely view of the lake and woods.

Our stay at Cherokee Hideaway was good for the most part but not without issues. We were able to find it pretty easy using Apple maps but they also provided good directions as well. It was ready for check at 3pm as described. We had 2 SUVs and the parking was big enough for both. Unfortunately as soon as we arrived I did a walk around and noticed there was a leak from the 1st floor down to the basement. We arrived on a Sunday so i called the maintenance number and they asked if I could help diagnose the issue and it seemed to be isolated to one bathroom. So we decided he could come in the morning and we would not use that bathroom that night. He came the next day but after trying a few things it still was not quite fixed. So he had to come back again another day. We were out most of the time he was there so it wasn't a huge inconvenience but it made the stay a little less enjoyable especially considering we had a couple staying down in the basement.
Speaking of that, the "sofa sleeper" in the basement is a foam cushion fold out couch and is very low to the floor. They were young and made it work but it was also pretty cold down there compared to the rest of the cabin and we ended up getting them a space heater. Just a heads up if you plan on anyone staying down there in the winter. The rooms on the other floors were as advertised and pretty nice overall. The kitchen had newer appliances and fully stocked with everything you would need which made our stay for Thanksgiving go a bit smoother. Plenty room for 11 of us to spread out as well. The porches were really nice and some of our guests really enjoyed the hot tub. The pool table bumpers are no longer useful and the seams from the slate pieces affected the ball. We brought darts for the dart board but they wouldn't work on the board thats in there and there weren't any there to use either. The firepit area outside was nice with plenty stumps to sit on. Not sure if they can do anything about the windows in the living area but they seem cloudy which kind of spoiled the view from inside.
There was plenty to do in the area. We enjoyed eating at Twisted Oaks which is only minutes away. We made a trip to Nashville, hiked at Burgess Falls, and took a tour at Cumberland Caverns. My family's favorite was Harmony Lane Farm and Creamery.
Again, we enjoyed our stay overall and they did address the plumbing issues while we were there. A little TLC and this place would more than worth the cost.
4.5
For being a premier host and highly rated for cleanliness, we were less than impressed. Mold on shower curtains... carpet needed cleaned... great views obscured by dirty windows... game room had no darts for dartboard and pool table had no bounce off of bumpers... most every wall and some ceilings need paint... called ahead of time and asked about road going in and felt mislead... had there been rain or snow some of inclines would not have been manageable without 4wd on the single lane road.
Positives: Kitchen was best/newest room of house. Beds were comfortable. Views from decks were beautiful. Despite nearby houses, it was usually quiet and peaceful.
4.5
we live near nashville and work from home having the option to vacate our normal lives for a few days without driving far was a plus and then how beautiful it all was touched us all!! best break we have had in a while!!!
4.5
House was clean and ready to use. Some of the most comfortable beds I’ve experienced from a rental!
Check in was a breeze and we had no issues with any of the process. House was very clean and super comfortable beds. The 4 levels of the home really makes it feel like you have more than 3 bedrooms! The basement and loft can be used as separate bedrooms. The water got really hot so be careful there! Be aware that the road the house is on is not boat friendly. Take your boat to the marina before heading to the house!

We had a wonderful time celebrating Christmas early with family. The house has plenty of bedrooms and baths. The kitchen was great and fully stocked. It’s a true lake chalet feel with a beautiful view. Everything is updated and beds are very comfortable.

The stars aligned and I had a rare weekend available to take a mini vacation so chose this one! The house was fantastic and the pictures don’t do it justice. It’s very private even with other cabins around and it felt like our own little world.
Everything was super clean and we didn’t have any issues!
Would definitely rent again! Thank you!

Location was nice. We were looking for somewhere remote that we could use as home base for hiking in the area. The decks were the best part of this house. We thoroughly enjoyed having an extended coffee hour on deck every morning. There were only 2 of us so plenty of room. Beds and pillows were comfortable. Didn't use hot tub, but it looked nice enough. Basement not very welcoming and carpets definitely need to be taken out and replaced with laminate or newer carpet. I didn't really want to put my bare feet on them at first glance. I understand that it's a dog friendly house which we appreciated because we had a dog with us, but there are ways they could upgrade and make it dog friendly too.
Road is a little sketchy getting in and I was glad I upgraded to a small SUV. Best things were the quiet, the decks and the large windows on main floor which let in a lot of light. Kitchen/living area was nice and open.

Reviewer Comments:
The cabin was great. I would recommend owners have some flashlights and or candles in the home as we lost electricity for about an hour and it was getting dark. Also DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT FOLLOW YOUR GPS DIRECTIONS!!! ESPECIALLY IF IT TRIES TO TAKE YOU DOWN WILDWOOD RD/ALPINE DR! IT IS AN ATV TRAIL NOT A ROAD AND THERE IS NO TURN AROUND!

Nice, but needs some upgrades.

Obviously run by a management company that only cares about the money. The repairman, who had to be called several times, was responsive. The owners, not so much.
I sent them this message and have yet received no response since August 8.
"Dear Jessica, We never did bring our dog. We decided she would be happier at a Rover.com place. Please refund the dog fee. The kids all had a good time on Center Hill Lake, and the house was well-designed for family gatherings. We appreciated the supply of bath towels, the presence of toilet paper, some dishwasher soap, and garbage bags. I have some concerns about the property. It was with trepidation that we decided to stay at all. The basement floor cracks are deep and wide; there is crumbling concrete in the cracks. There are alarming cracks in the walls. After the disaster in FL, we were reasonably concerned that the house is falling off the hillside. We did without the hot tub for a good part of the week because the back jets did not work. The sliding glass door does not slide without great difficulty, and I suspect that is due to the shifting of the foundation. The sump pump operates on a dangerous pile of electrical cord in the corner. Basement fridge is "out of order" for how many years now? Fire extinguisher is missing from its holder. Plaster repair in hall has not been painted. The carpet is in need of cleaning or replacing, and seems to have no pad. The thresholds at bedroom doors are missing or poorly placed, causing a trip and foot injury hazard (cut my foot) as well as a fire hazard. At the top of the stairs, the edge board is broken, offering splintering possibilities and unattractive. The closet doors in the bonus room on the 3rd floor are off the rails, leaning against the wall, and posed a real danger to the kids." edited for brevity.

Amazing time, family of 5 (3 teenagers), it was perfect for our needs, very clean and well organized, very welcoming, loved the hot tub at night after hiking or lake activities. Excellent location, secluded but not far away from town and lake.
Just be ware of lots of stairs, it is a 4 story unit so you may find yourself going up and down often. over all we give it two thumbs up, and we will be coming back.
