Surrounded by the gentle grace of the Smoky Mountains, this stunning lakefront home is the real "On Golden Pond." The lakefront mountain retreat is nestled on a private, one acre wooded lot in Sherwood Forest, a 1000 acre Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary with only 200 houses. Relax, watch and enjoy the natural surroundings of the lake and mountains and look for the white squirrels local to the area. Golf awaits on the 18-hole, par three course with pro shop (open year round). You may also swim in the heated junior Olympic-size pool, play tennis, hike on any of the 21 miles of well-marked hiking trails located within Sherwood Forest, and enjoy the five lakes for fishing or canoeing (canoe, paddles, and life vests are provided for use). Lakes are stocked with bass and bluegill with no license required.

The cabin is beautifully furnished and features two master bedrooms each with 2 full private baths plus one additional bedroom. There is also central air conditioning/heat, a fully-equipped remodeled kitchen with new appliances, a wood burning fireplace in the living room, vaulted ceilings, and a new glassed-in sunroom with a gas log fireplace, a screened porch and outside decks all overlooking the lake. For your entertainment there are 3 televisions with satellite service including 5 cinemax channels and pay-for-view and a DVD player.
