Cozy 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom cabin near Cherokee Lake in the Wani Village area of Grainger County, Tennessee. This 658-square-foot retreat sits just steps from Cherokee Lake access with open water views, making it an ideal weekend getaway, short-term rental investment, or full-time downsized residence in East Tennessee. The living room is the heart of this cabin -- tongue-and-groove wood ceiling, natural wood walls, hardwood floors, a stacked stone wood-burning fireplace, and a skylight that fills the room with natural light. Two mini-split systems handle heating and cooling throughout. A covered front porch measuring 13x9 gives you a place to sit with your coffee and catch the mountain and neighborhood views before heading down to the water. The kitchen features wood cabinetry, a stainless refrigerator, and electric range. The bathroom includes a walk-in shower and built-in cabinet storage. The second bedroom includes washer and dryer hookups with a stacked unit already in place, plus two closets -- a practical setup that keeps laundry out of your main living space without sacrificing a bedroom. The primary bedroom includes a bay window, built-in wood storage drawers, and carpet flooring. Built-ins and natural woodwork carry throughout the home, giving it that true East Tennessee cabin feel. A storage shed on the property handles outdoor gear, kayaks, or lake toys. This property sits in the Wani Village area of Cherokee Lake, one of the most established lake communities on Cherokee Lake in Grainger County. High-speed internet is available through Trilight, and the property is approved for short-term rental use -- a strong advantage if you're looking at this as an income-producing investment.
