LAKE FRONT CABIN ON DOUGLAS LAKE IN THE GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS

*****A LAKE AND MOUNTAIN VACATION!*****

You have found a Historic Property offering spacious and lovingly decorated rooms in an authentic, hand hewn, log cabin on beautiful Douglas Lake. The cabin sits on a 5 acre peninsula over looking the lake. The cabin is a destination unto itself with many private areas to explore and restore. Surrounded by nature, on a pristine lake with woodland trails.
Just 15 minutes from Hwy 66-Gateway to the national park, Sevierville, Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg.
Popular area attractions are a short drive away.

You can spend the day enjoying the beautiful Douglas Lake and its 600 miles of shoreline. There are small restaurants and bars at the nearby marines. There are also great local bands which perform at several of the marinas during the summer months. Or just relax and enjoy fishing or floating on a raft in our quiet cove or having a mint julep on the back porch. Then head out to grab a bite at one of the many restaurants that are a short 15 minute drive away. You can also shop at the many outlet malls or go explore the many offering at Dollywood. Pigeon Forge and Sevierville are know for there music theaters. You can also enjoy mountain hikes and swim holes in The Great Smoky Mountains.

The Pioneer Trading Post is located just 20 minutes from Dollywood and only 30 minutes from Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and the Smokey Mountain National Park.

LAKE LEVELS VARY:
PLEASE NOTE : This is a TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority) dam controlled lake. Levels fall slowly beginning in September and fully rise again in April. The winter lake levels are low during off season.

The summer levels stay consistently at their highest, and are easily deep enough for fishing, swimming, and docking a boat with water receding starting around September.
The winter lake level will create a wide, firm, sandy shoreline that is interesting to explore. Many an arrowhead and crystals have been found here.
We recommend that you check TVA website for current levels. We cannot predict the rain fall levels or water level.

“Lake front Cabin without a Lake”?? Disappointed!!!

Read carefully because this is a seasonal lake. We were looking for a property by the water and that was the main reason to rent this property for out annual fall family-friend’s retreat, finding out 2 weeks before that the lake was dry and neither we could make a fire pit. Because the complaints, permission to make the fire pit was granted but nothing to do about the lake.

Peaceful, Wonderful

If you want to step back in time and enjoy a peaceful setting while getting away from it all, this place is for you. Tara has done an awesome job decorating the place - it's like a Cracker Barrel morphed into a log cabin, but done with great tact. All the modern amenities and the furniture /beds are comfortable. Enjoyed the fishing dock, hot tub, and the visits from Dixie the dog and her friends, that was fun. Tara very easy to work with. Highly recommend this place and would come back again no doubt.

Family Vacation

Beautiful, secluded location, yet not far from the grocery stores, restaurants and marina. The house was perfect for our family of seven adults. Those who wanted to be tourists were only 20 minutes from Dollywood. Those who wanted to hang out had plenty of options around the property...from seating areas, several porch swings, the back patio and the dock. Tara was helpful in addressing my questions before we arrived. (She somehow even arranged perfect weather for us!!) Didn't need anything once we were there. The kitchen was well stocked and plenty of towels. Water in the cove deep enough for swimming, even though TWA had lowered the levels. Water was 80 degrees. Not so much luck with fishing!! Had a visit every evening from Dixie, who liked to bring us rocks but did not want to fetch a stick!!! Saw a coyote one morning on our way out for an early hike. When the motion sensors went off at night, I was hoping to see a bear, but no luck :)

Are you sure this is the place...

Mom's first words as we walked up, no joke. First, the positives: Clean floors/sinks/tubs, great view, interesting history of where the property came from, back patio is lovely to hang out on and great access to the lake. Oh- and the beds were comfortable, just don't unzip the pillow covers (four thick) when you strip the linens... it was disgusting. Downside: after a long day of traveling, basic necessities were not provided. Example: no coffee or shampoo. Each shower had one tiny Motel-8-style soap round and nothing else. The house, while expected to be rustic and cabin-like, has vastly more items and nicknacks packed into every open spot. The photos show antique decor but not to the level that it currently is at, including the old preserved ham hanging in the kitchen. Beware of touching that oily ham bag! Another nice touch are the thrashed bar-b-que tools hanging as decor on the patio, dripping grease and food residue on the ground. Aprons hung as window curtains could be fun, but these were stained and dirty. Many spices are expired. In reality, we have friends who own family cabins like this. While it's a treat to be invited to stay at a friend's old family heirloom-filled cabin, it's not the same when you are paying premium pricing on a vacation. The bottom line is, this is obviously a treasured family cabin likely full of ongoing memories for the family who owns it, but it's not to the basic standard of a vacation rental. Absolutely better choices in the area.

Amazing unique cabin

We had 3 generations on this trip ages 19 to mid 80s. Everyone had a fantastic time. Rented a boat and was able to pull it right up to the dock. Cook of the family loved the stove! My 6 foot son even slept in the loft. The in laws took lots of wonderful walks around the property. Front yard was perfect for a family corn hole competition. Personally i loved the porch bed! Several nights of playing games as a family and incredible laughs. This cabin took you back in time yes was extremely comfortable and had enough modern touches to make all ages comfortable. The only thing i would recommend is updating the listing here.

We had a wonderful time at this property, it is a very unique property with a lot of history and charm that we really enjoyed. There was plenty of privacy with many wonderful areas to explore. The lake access is easy with a nice dock which easily accommodated our jet skis. Tara was very responsive to my questions, and I would definitely recommend this property for anyone looking to have a great time at Douglas Lake.

Gorgeous, roomy, relaxing stay on the lake

This place has a special place in our hearts; it was our 3rd stay here. We've made so many family memories in the cabin: watching movies, playing games, eating together; and outside: on the deck, in the hot tub, on the lake, in the gorgeous yard. There are many wonderful cabins in the Smokies but none as homey and unique as this one made from log cabins. We will be back, Lord willing!

We had a wonderful stay. Everything was very relaxing and loved by all. Appreciate that it was stocked with everything we needed! We all felt right at home and enjoyed the love that was definately shown in preparing this vacation rental. If anyone needed a quiet spot you could find several private cozy places. My only comment would be that the houskkeeping completely clean and remove items out of the refrigerator! I was not happy when we opened the door to put our food in it. Otherwise, we will definitely come back. Thank you for caring about your renters opinions.

Much needed Family getaway!

Our stay was absolutely perfect and we loved the cabin so much!! It is truly beautiful and the history of it was so interesting to hear . Tara, our host was there to greet us when we arrived and gave us a tour of the property . She was so kind and made us feel very welcome and at home . We enjoyed the lake , went fishing, kayaking, looked for arrowheads and enjoyed the hot tub and the gorgeous scenery. Loved the outdoor kitchen and grill area . Covered porch was great when it rained, so we could stay outside. Beds were super comfortable and the cabin has a layout that worked extremely well for our party of 9. Everyone had plenty of room and privacy. We had a small mishap with running out of propane and Tara went above and beyond to make it right for us!! Definitely will be back to visit again!

Summer Magic

We were thrilled to stay on a lake for 3 weeks this summer due to the horrible heat throughout the United States. Douglas Lake is clean and quiet and the dock right at the bottom of the 5 acre property is large enough to sit and enjoy the afternoon and swim. The house is wonderful - so many memories have been saved and displayed throughout the house - quirky and fun throughout with a wonderful front porch, back porch, covered porch, outdoor shower, and hot tub. Super quiet as it is about 15 minutes from the main drag in Sevierville. Tons to do with kids in the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area (it was our first time). Tara (owner) was super helpful before and during the visit. Highly recommend!
