This place was perfect for our family reunion. There was plenty of space for all 24 of us. The pool, game room, and theater ensured nobody was bored. The beds were comfortable and the house was clean.

Thank you so much! We are so happy that you enjoyed your time here!
This house is perfect for a large family get together. Plenty of large bedrooms, big gathering places and a very nice pool and outdoor space. Away from the clutter of Nashville but still close enough to enjoy. Would recommend to family and friends.

The Estate at Cherokee Dock is an amazingThe Estate at Cherokee Dock is an amazing home right on the river.
First, it is large enough to host our family gathering of 15 people…no one was sleeping on couches or in the family room. More importantly no one had to wait to take a shower after a day of swimming and boating.
Second, the location was unparalleled. The house is right on the river with not a lot of other houses around. Thus we enjoyed the water with very little boat traffic. And because of the seclusion we did not need to deal with noisy neighbors. In fact the children enjoyed seeing the wildlife: birds, squirrels, etc.
Lastly, the owner and staff work extremely hard to maintain a 5 star establishment. And while we had a few issues, they were responsive. I think that is what is most important. They genuinely want their guests to have exceptional time.

We are also thankful for bringing the issues you encountered to our attention, so that they will not be recurring for any of our future guests. You were a fantastic guest and we hope to host you again one day.
Thank you so much!!
The Estate at Cherokee Dock was wonderful. The house itself is huge and all of the bedrooms are super comfortable and spacious. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and having the pool, hot tub, theater, game room and gym made it so we never needed to leave to property. The owners went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and even helped with the recovery of a lost phone. I highly recommend this property!

We were so excited to have found this property to host our Mastermind training group for about 25 people. From the minute we started communications, the team was so helpful in answering all of the questions that we needed to make our decision. It was truly such an easy process.
The property is really breathtaking! From pulling up to the gates and driving up, it is so beautiful. The whole house was perfectly prepared for us to arrive! We loved the whole experience especially cooking in that amazing kitchen! We even got to enjoy the hot tub! It was definetly an awesome experience to stay there. The team staying at the barn apartment which was such a great idea! The team was able to have privacy after each day ended and that was wonderful. Kevin helped us throughout the stay with all of the text messages asking a million questions, he made sure no matter the time of night, he quickly responded which was super helpful. I highly recommend staying here, we sure can't wait to be back!

From the beautiful front gates, to the picturesque winding driveway, to the lovely antebellum house to the amazing water views from each room, this property is an honor to visit. Everything is top of the line and it has a lot of history. Your stay at this property will not disappoint and everyone will want to take a tour of the house and grounds. Looking forward to coming back and staying at this home again in the future.

You can tell from the photos the place is gorgeous, and it is. I’d like to mention, in addition, how responsive the management was. Any question or concern was a text message away from being addressed, and was always answered with speed, hospitality, and concern for our well treatment. Great place, great experience.

Glorious family vacation
We spent a lovely weekend at the home and can’t say enough about our experience. The grounds and views from the home are gorgeous with something new to see around every corner. The country music themed rooms are fun and so comfortable! We enjoyed cooking in the well appointed kitchen and found everything we needed was already there. Our boys enjoyed the selection of games and the arcade and we all loved cozying up for a movie in the theater room. There is something so calming about being on the lake. We loom forward to the opportunity to return to this beautiful and unique home!

Perfect Family Getaway!
We loved our stay at the breathtaking Cherokee Dock Estate! The staff was very friendly and helpful, even had a pack and play, booster seat and high chair on site. The movie theater was a big hit with the kids as well as exploring the beautiful grounds. It was the perfect setting to relax, unwind, and just enjoy some family time. We can't wait to be back.....and book a longer stay!

The property was beautiful but it could have been cleaner . Even the ice maker was nasty
There should be more instructors on how to work most of the appliances properly. The cleaning could've been better. I couldn't find the barbeque grill. The staff was nice but he didn't answer too many calls. With the amount of money your paying it could have been a little better. Overall I was dissatisfied

Hello Sherry,
I am sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your stay at the Estate at Cherokee Dock. We have a high standard for ensuring that our amenities are kept as clean and functional as possible. We apologize that you had trouble accessing our grill; we keep it put away during the winter months and neglected to inform you of that. We now take care to inform every guest, regardless of season.
Regarding communication during your stay, we try to remain as available as possible, and we are sorry that you experienced difficulties with this. However, we always ensure that we are able to greet our guests upon arrival and take them on an orientation of the home and all of its amenities and technology. Upon your departure, we were under the impression that you were wholly satisfied with your stay based on the wonderful dessert you left us, as well as your request to book for next year.
We are disappointed to hear that you were frustrated with part of your stay, and have taken your comments into consideration. Please let us know if we can assist you further. We appreciate your stay and hope to serve you in the future.
Sincerely,
The Estate at Cherokee Dock

Beautiful place. Truly has to be seen to believe.
Upon our arrival we were given a code to the private gate. We were met by one of the property managers and showed us the whole property and how to use everything. We were given her personal cell phone number and were told to call with any questions. The mansion itself is awesome but the location can’t be beat. Elevator, movie theater, awesome kitchen, it has it all. On the lake, huge pool and hot tub with an awesome pool house. I could go on and on. Trust me get a group together and split the cost. It’s a vacation you will never forget!!
