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

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.
