About this property
Douglas Lake Lodge
Summary:
Escape to Douglas Lake Lodge, a 6278 sqft. pet-friendly estate on a 100+ private, gated acres near Gatlinburg. Sleeping up to 18 guests, this rustic retreat was made for groups. Inside, discover a stocked kitchen, game room with billiards and ping pong, Smart TVs, and plenty of room to gather. Outside, experience luxurious living with vast mountain views, firepits, grills, and your private “playground” featuring a private pool, tennis and pickleball court, and a seasonal dock for lake access.
The Space:
Designed with a rustic estate feel, this dog-friendly cabin sleeps 18 comfortably, featuring 3 king beds, 2 queen beds, and a loft with 8 single beds, and 6 sleeper sofas.
With many living spaces brightened by windows, a spacious game room, and an expansive outdoor area, you're able to gather and connect with everyone in your group.
To ensure your comfort in any season, the cabin is equipped with heating and air-conditioning, and we provide extra linens, towels, and pillows for your stay. Your stay also includes Smart TVs and a free-to-use washer and dryer.
The kitchen, fitted with refrigerator, gas range, and oven, is stocked with all the essentials: flatware, glasses, barware, dishware, cooking utensils, serveware, BBQ utensils, pots, pans, baking sheets, blender, toaster, and Keurig Coffee Machines (single & pot). It’s set up for groups, featuring an eat-in island with high-top chairs, a large table, and a picnic table.
Whether you’re looking to break a sweat or simply unwind, this lodge offers an incredible array of private amenities including a tennis court, pickleball court, and a seasonal pool complete with its own pool house. For those who prefer the water, you can enjoy your own private cove and diving dock, then dry off by the Solo Stove or host a lakeside BBQ using the propane grill. With multiple private decks and cozy porch seating, there is no shortage of secluded spots to soak in the views and fresh air.
Reconnect and relax in the mountains while enjoying the seclusion of your private estate. Access is easy with paved roads leading all the way to your long driveway for ample parking.
Guest Access:
Private Entrance with No-Contact Entry via Keycode Provided Before Arrival
The Neighborhood:
This estate is situated on private, gated land alongside Douglas Lake on a remote part of the Smoky Mountains.
Horseback riding is available 1 mile from the house and boat rentals are available one mile by water down near the dam. Grocery stores, restaurants and gas are available about 6 miles away on Highway 66.
Getting Around:
Taxi services, Uber, Lyft are available.
Other Things to Note:
- Once the lake levels reach 985-ft, it is difficult to utilize a boat in the water. Once the levels reach 980-ft, the dock is no longer accessible. This information can be found on the TVA website for Douglas Lake. This event can take place between September 1-30, but typically occurs at the end of September.
- Trailers, RVs and Campers must be disclosed immediately after booking.
- Please be aware that due to potential freezing temperatures in January and February, there's a risk of frozen water pipes.
- Please take note that bears are in the area. We do provide bear safety tips upon arrival.
- Rental agreement required upon booking
