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.

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.

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.

Hidden gem

This place was exactly what we were looking for. The homeowners were awesome and so kind. We enjoyed every minute of our stay and would recommend it to anyone looking to take a break and get away from it all. Great family vacation. Thank you Greg and Gina!!! Your house and hospitality were the best.

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.

We found the “booty”

My family and I loved this house. We originally booked it as a cheaper option than a hotel for a baseball tournament we were in near by. The view is pretty, it’s relaxing, the house is great!! We had the max 10 people 6 adults and 4 kids. Plenty of room. The sleep arrangements are clearly stated, we did end up buying 2 air mattresses for our own comfort decisions. The lake was clean and warm when we were there. You’re tucked in and safe from boat traffic while playing in the water. The beach area I believe is getting a face lift. We have decided we will DEFINITELY be coming back to Pirate Cove when planning our next trip to TN. We went to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge several different days-it’s a nice drive!!

Absolutely Gorgeous

The first thing you'll notice is the incredible view, which makes every morning relaxing and remarkable. The home is well-kept, spacious, and perfect for an extended stay for a family. They even go above and beyond by including baby-items and pet-items, so a lot of thought was put into making sure our needs were met and comfort was ensured. The proximity to the local Walmart was great for picking up little things here and there. The layout of the home achieved the balance between spacious and cozy perfectly.

Baseball tournament

This place was perfect for our family to hang out and relax after being on the baseball field all day with my son. The view from the deck is awesome, tons of lights in the house that were all labeled to avoid confusion, tv is huge in the living room, beds were comfortable, and having kayaks was a great plus. Next time we are in the Knoxville area we will book this place again. Thank you for hosting us at your lovely home.

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.

A Unique Vacation Home

Our family loved all the fun things to do at the lake. There was plenty to do at the house plus the nearby possibilities left no time for the kids (or adults) to be board…aquarium, distilleries, outlet mall, Dollywood to name a few. There was a nearby marina where we were able to rent a boat plus the adults brought their paddle boards. We enjoyed our stay immensely. The house itself was very unique and filled with everything one might need or want. I would definitely go back!

Cute, quiet stay on the lake

The view was perfect, great quiet place to stay for the week. Kids loved the dock and all the kayaks, paddle board and paddleboat. The place is definitely pet friendly. It could use some outside maintenance. The house had plenty of pots, pans, plates and everything you need to be comfortable. Dish network didn’t work at all ( I think the trees are blocking signal) so prepare to log in to your apps, but most of the TVs were Roku so we were happy on rainy days. Overall it was a very comfortable stay.
