This was the perfect stay for the wife and myself. Had a few tee times for the weekend. Got her a spa day on Saturday while we golfed. 10/10 for area and cleanliness of property. The cove was not busy and the kayaks were a fun addition. When it is just us too I will definitely stay here again.

Great place! Love, the fact that the boat ramp was right down from the property. We were able to put our boat in and out easily. Only wish there was a courtesy dock there to pick people up, but my husband just swim out to the boat.

Cozy Little Stay
The house was clean and perfect for our needs. We are a small family and had two dogs. The place was clean and close to the lake and golf course. Communication with the property manager was quick and easy. The place is on well water so there is a bit of noise when the pump is running. It kind of worked as a white noise machine at times during the night, but some may not appreciate the noise.

Short but Sweet
The Calhoun Lake House was the perfect place for a short visit with friends. The location was close to their lake house and easy to get to by golf cart as well. The house is impeccably decorated and made our stay very comfortable. I hope to return in the near future and would like to stay again. Thank you!

House was very clean.
Checking in was very simple and communication was great.
There were many things available to those who dont remember everything.
The front deck was really nice.
I will remember this place the next time we are at Grand.

Lake House Oasis
This cabin was amazing! It was stocked, clean and had everything it said it did in the posting. It was close to the boat ramp and right near the water. Sitting on the porch listening to nature, watching foxes run around, and cozying up in the cabin was the perfect was to spend a relaxing vacation. We cannot wait to come back!!

Calhoun Lake House, Monkey Island
Perfect house for fishing at Grand Lake of the Cherokees. House was clean, comfortable, and had great fishing related decor!!! There is a boat ramp right across from the house that puts you in a nice protected bay. Owners were very responsive with communication. Would highly recommend booking this house.

Great Stay on Monkey Island
Great Location, and the property was super clean and tidy. Boat ramp was close enough that we parked ourtrailer back at the house after launching it.
