Lakefront home w/ free attraction tickets, amazing views, & dock

Pirate Cove

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

If you’re ready for a retreat to the lake, look no further: this comfortable waterfront home, located right on Cherokee Reservoir, checks all the boxes. Inside, you’ll find lots of nooks for gathering, and warm, woodsy decor. The lakefront deck is the perfect spot for morning coffee or an evening cocktail and lovely lake sunset. The well-equipped kitchen features a full suite of appliances, including an air fryer and Instant Pot, and plenty of counter space for the chef to whip up tasty meals. Dine together at the adjacent table for six, the dining room table for four, or pull up a barstool at the kitchen island to keep it casual.

Now it’s time to head out! You’ve got access to a water bouncer/trampoline, paddleboard, paddle boat, and 8 kayaks if you’d like to explore by water, and you’re not far from Sevierville, Pigeon Forge and Great Smoky Mountains National Park if you want to explore a bit further afield. If you want to stay close to home, the marina and restaurant are less than a mile away either by boat or by road. When you return, get the wood-burning fireplace crackling for maximum coziness and play a game of darts, badminton, or grab a board game.

Both the enclosed sun room and living room feature smart TVs (Roku and Fire TV), so everyone can pick what they want to watch. If you’ve got any work to catch up on at the end of the evening, the high-speed WiFi, printer, and dedicated desk areas will make it a breeze. Age-appropriate dinnerware, books, and games are available for younger guests. Drift off to sleep at the end of the day in one of the cozy bedrooms with one perfect lake day behind you - and another on tap for tomorrow.

With your reservation, enjoy one FREE Ticket to each of these attractions: Paula Dean's Lumberjack Dinner Show, Wonderworks, Smoky Mountain Observation Wheel, NASCAR Speedpark, Rocky Mountain Coaster and Skyland Ranch (a $205.00 Value) as well as Exclusive Discounted Tickets to Anakeesta, Hatfield & McCoy, Dolly's Stampede, Comedy Barn and more.

Great...GREAT Location and Wonderful Accommodations

Very roomy interior, terrific deck overlooking the lake, lots of activities (enough kayaks for our group, plus life preservers, paddle boat, paddle board). Every need was met. If I ever stay on Lake Cherokee again, this location would be my first choice.

Beautiful lake house

We had a wonderful visit to TN staying the this comfortable spacious lake home. The hosts went out of their way to ensure we were welcomed and comfortable. Even our dog had a special welcome! Unfortunately there was a power outage but **** brought us water, coffee and donuts, then made sure there was a generator hooked up to provide light and keep the refrigerator going. We are looking forward to spending more time there in the future.

Perfect Family Vacation

The house was clean, well stocked and very comfortable with wonderful lake access! Beautiful huge view of the lake and we felt like we had our own little cove! We brought our pontoon boat and the dock was deep enough and had cleats to safely tie the boat. The family LOVED it and we will definitely be back!

Quiet Respite

Pirate Cove was a nice, quiet respite. There is limited traffic on the road, which was great for running and walking the dogs. We saw several dear roaming. There were plenty of lake floatation toys and boats. The owner, whom we only saw while outside working on the lawn and grilling, is very friendly and respectful of privacy. The house was clean and inviting for pets with a large dog bed and feeding bowls.

Family Time

The property was a great location and just minutes from the Black Oak Marina. The family enjoyed the kayaks, padboard and the pedal boat. The view was just great of the lake. The house was big enough for the whole family and the dogs. I would definitely recommend the house for a family gathering.
