Special Rates Douglas Lake Front Cabin Retreat w/ Boat Ramp and Private Dock
Please read full description as Douglas Lake is a fluctuating lake and lake levels are seasonal.
Completely remodeled Douglas Lake Front Cabin. This cabin is within 25 minutes to Pigeon Forge / Dollywood area and 30 minutes to Gatlinburg / Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
Our cabin consists of 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. Living room has fireplace and the kitchen is well equipped with all the necessary items. Large outdoor patio area with screen porch. The patio area is equipped with table and chairs that overlooks the lake and is partially covered for when you want a little shade or if it's raining. There is also a fire pit on the patio which is great for making smores after a long day exploring Douglas Lake. There is a charcoal grill, for your use. Master bedroom has access to a large deck overlooking Douglas lake. There is a boat ramp on-site for those who wish to bring their own boat. There is also a private dock.
Douglas Lake is a fluctuating lake.Its levels are controlled by the Tennessee Valley Authority. The typical off season runs from September thru Mid-April. During the off season the lake levels can drop approximately 40'. Please email your questions regarding lake accessibility during these times before booking.
The property was clean and well stock with essentials! There were a few board games for kids (some missing pieces as to be expected) and the lake was beautiful. The only downside is that there is no ladder on the dock which isn't the end of the world but very inconvenient. We had our 5 year old with us who always wants to swim and jump in the water so not having a ladder made it very difficult. Other than that everything was great.
Tucked back at a dead road, with beautiful view of lake. Private boat launch (shared with a neighbor), deck. Fishing every day with quiet evenings on the deck. Jason and Amy were great hosts.
While the house and lake were nice, they lacked a specificity in terms of accuracy based on the photos. When people look to pick a location, the photos obviously play a big role in that process. This home showed a photo of firewood outside and even had directions for purchasing bundles of firewood inside the welcome binder. However, when I texted for details (since there was no firewood) I was told they didn't do that anymore. Not a huge deal but I don't think it unreasonable to have accurate updated photos as things change.Also, there was a stink of something that had died inside a storage room, which shares a wall with one of the bedrooms. I could smell it as soon as I walked in so opened the house up to air it out, which didn't really work. I informed the managers/owners about it (and had to sleep on the couch because I couldn't use the bedroom) but nothing was done; no one came out to address the situation.
Our stay was very pleasant and our hosts were very kind and friendly; however, there were some issues that weren't identified until it was too late to cancel.
Based on the listing description and photos, we thought this was a single level cabin. Unfortunately there was a Very Steep step down into the master bedroom and no handrail for assistance. If you have any disability with your knees, hip or back, I don't recommend this cabin. Also, we were not aware that they drained the lake starting in Sept, so there was no lake/dock for us to enjoy. We were also advised we could not use the fireplace which was one of the amenities we were looking forward too, but unable to use. There was no where to put your belongings, so living out of your suitcase while on the floor was the only option.
Finally, there is a beautiful oak tree outside of the master bedroom, so be prepared for those acorns to land on the roof...all night long.
I recommend bringing your own cookware or eating out as some of the frying pans are quite old, scratched and stained from previous guests.
Overall this is a cozy little cabin, but with a few upgrades it would be a charming place to go back to...at least in the summer when the lake returns.
We had a great time at cabin. Being on the lake was great and close proximity to pigeon forge was beneficial. Cabin was very clean and well maintained!
Great stay. Clean, cozy, and off the beaten path. It would be a great place to stay- especially in the summer! For sure try to check in during the daylight hours. It is hard to find in the dark. đ
The cabin was cozy and loved it. It was hard to find in the dark because the gps took us to an empty lot. Needs signs to guide people to the cabin. Check I. Was easy as well as check out. Had to message manager several times and they were quick to respond.
