Summary: The property is in a great, quiet location. The house is older and has some "lived in" aspects (leftover food/spices in the cabinets, closet with small appliances - broken coffee pot). We slept comfortably and enjoyed our time on the back patio. The dock is pictured in the water and should have been released more and not cranked up on the shore. The other 5 docks in the cove are still in the water. I've lived here and visited Cherokee my whole life. The water starts dropping in August but the dock should have been in the water until Labor Day. Someone failed to release it as the water began dropping.
