TERDS Reunion- Go Vols
8 guys that went to UT in the late 70’s and early 80’s drove from 5 states to the Bears Den on Cherokee Lake. Sleeping accommodations were great. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking with adequate refrigerator room when you included the downstairs refrigerators. The living room and dining area worked great for our group. Enjoyed the fire pit and the lake with our own canoes and kayaks. Lot’s to do in the area.

We love staying here! It is close to home and this is the second year we have stayed here. Clean, comfy beds. Plenty of room for everyone. We enjoyed seeing geese taking a siesta on the bank.

Cherokee Lake Thanksgiving
The house is BIG and has everything you could possibly need for your stay. It is not fancy; but the view and roominess and cleanliness make up for it. Parking/driveway is really tricky if you have more than 4 or 5 cars and you have to be careful with backing out. Our only concern was washing all the linens and towels prior to check out- we arrange for a late check out; but cannot imagine how we would have even come close if we had to leave by 11am! It is a great place for a big gathering and we may come again in the future.

Great weekend stay
My bridal party stayed here for my wedding weekend. It had a great common area and plenty of beds for everyone to have their own space. We brought firewood and had a great bonfire by the lake. UberEats had a few options for delivery food that made evenings easy. It had a feel that reminded me of a place you visit over and over as a child. Thanks!

Perfect! for time together and for time on your own
Every year we look for a place to meet as a family (6+3kids) and spent a week together, trying to accommodate everybody's idea for fun and relax - children, parents and grandparents. Bear Den was exactly it! The view is mesmerizing at any time of the day (early morning coffee or sunset drink) , any weather condition (we enjoyed a lightening "show" from far away) and from any corner of the house or yard. Plenty of space, perfect for "hide and sick"- literally and figuratively, kitchen equipped with plenty of plates, silver- and glassware (no need to wait on the dishwasher to finish). We love playing in the water...there were life jackets for any imaginable size/age person. The dock is floating (we had not have this before), but it took15 minutes to get used to it. Fishing was not ideal (we caught total of 3 fish), but we had plenty of fun practicing :), jumping in the water, kayaking around and rock skipping. We could not play soccer (the ball would be in the water in a second), but there was plenty of horizontal land for feather-ball. The fire place was the division line :). We had two day-trips, to Pigeon Forge and to Elrod falls (colder water to jump in)...totally different as an experience, but both were a lot of fun. Overall, everyone had a chance to recharge and we all had a great time together. Mission accomplished!

Great trip.
We have stayed at this property before. On the side of the hill. No problem for young people. Older people might have a problem. Great location for our family. Gilmore Dock is closed, so we had to travel a few miles for gas. Rain all around us but not a problem. Getting ready to leave is always a problem. You are ask to wash and dry towels and bedding but the washers and dryers are not able to keep up with a large group. Too slow.

We loved the relaxing nature of this property. We were close enough to drive to do things but ended up staying around the house. It was so cozy and had so many things to enjoy that we all just hung out doing puzzles, building fires, fishing, kayaking, and grilling.

Cherokee Lake house
this property was large enough for the whole family. we had 12 people and still had room. The kids loved the dock , they swam in the lake and loved jumping off the dock. There was plenty of life jackets of all sizes. The older kids loved the Kayaks. It was wonderful to have the lake out the back door the scenery was .beautiful ! I would recommend this property if you love the lake. Only thing I didn't like was the steep driveway and all the hills . My husband & Daughters had no problem with it
