LAKE FRONT LOG CABIN ON DOUGLAS LAKE IN THE GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS
*****A LAKE AND MOUNTAIN VACATION!*****
The Pioneer Trading Post is located on beautiful Douglas Lake with 600 miles of shoreline, marinas, restaurants, bars, music and mountain vistas.
You have found a Historic Property with character and authenticity that is truly hard to come by. This is not a generic, cooky cutter cabin. Sections of the cabin were built by the Scot- Irish settlers who were early pioneers to the Great Smoky Mountains at the turn of the century and their craftsmanship and building skills have stood the test of time. We have 5 beautifully appointed bedrooms, which sleep 10 comfortably.
THE PIONEER TRADING POST IS A MUSEUM TO OUR APPALACHIAN AND CHEROKEE BLENDED CULTURE
YET WITH ALL THE CONVENIENCES OF MODERN LIVING:
You will find early American chestnut walls and ceilings, a totem pole made by Chief Blue Cloud, vintage oak and heart pine floors, spinning wheels, quilts, church pews on the porch, butter churns, pie safes, cedar chests and claw foot tubs. We also have showers and a jacuzzi.
LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION
Located just 15 minutes from Hwy 66, which is the Gateway to Sevierville, Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and the Great Smoky Mountains. Popular area attractions are a short drive away. Skip the traffic and take the back road to Dollywood or shop until you drop.
THE LAKE!! MARINA RESTAURANTS, BARS, and MUSIC:
During the summer months you can rent a pontoon boat, jet skis, paddle boards and kayaks at one of several local marinas and enjoying the beauty of Douglas Lake and its 600 miles of shoreline.
You can also visit Otter Cove Marina and Cowboys Restuarant and Marina, both have food, cocktail bars, live music and Karaoke.
FISHING:
Douglas Lake's 2025 fishing tournament lineup is full of fun, competition, and incredible prizes. So grab your gear, pack your tackle box.
Or just relax on the dock and enjoy a beer and catch some fish. (Permits at the gas station).
5 BEAUTIFULLY DECORATED BEDROOMS:
Each room has its own special charm and appeal. You will find crispy linens, comfy pillows, country quilts, and rustic, vintage touches for the feel you only get at Granny’s house.
