About this property

Private Lakefront Retreat on Douglas Lake

Beautiful updated home, year-round waterfront on Douglas Lake, near Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, & the Smokey Mountains. Relax in privacy on 3 lakefront acres with a private dock where you can bring your own watercraft! Enjoy a fully remodeled interior with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and entertaining spaces both upstairs and down. Unwind on the front porch, patio, or at the boat house, and enjoy the lake views, soak in the hot tub, or sit around the fire pit. Come see what lake life is all about!

The space
A very secluded property on the main channel of Douglas Lake, with all the comforts of home, including high-speed internet and good cell phone service. This premium location means that no matter what time of year it is, you will have private lake access.

Two bedrooms available upstairs - one is a master suite with a king bed. The other sleeps up to 5 on a queen bed and twin over full bunks. A full bathroom and laundry is available upstairs as well. The house features a full kitchen with all appliances, a large dining room with TV and Roku, with walk-out access to a huge front porch with a grill and outdoor dining area with gorgeous lake views.

Downstairs can sleep up to 4 on a full bed and twin over twin bunks. There are extra sleeping spaces for guests on an air mattress or in the sleeping niche under the stairs. A kitchenette and water closet means extra privacy and convenience for guests staying downstairs. Large comfortable couches, a smart TV, and plenty of games and books for entertainment are available for you downstairs, and you can walk out to a covered patio, complete with a seating area and 4 person hot tub!

Other entertaining spaces include a large front yard with views all around, and a wood burning fire pit under hand-built pergolas. There is a private boat house with comfortable patio seating, which overlooks the private boat dock and the secluded cove where there's plenty of fishing and deep water for swimming!

Guest access
The whole house is yours for the duration of your stay!

Other things to note
A grill is available for outside cooking. There is a private boat dock available for your use, and there are boat ramps within 15 minutes of the property. There are also several boat and watercraft rental locations within 10 minutes of the property.

Please note, this is a TVA controlled lake. The lake is kept full from Memorial Day to Labor Day, but is lowered the rest of the year. The boat dock may not be available when the lake is lowered, but you will still have lake views and access for tying up a boat and fishing.

PS - there's NOT enough room in the driveway to bring a boat and trailer. Please don't try!!!

Four Ring security cameras are located on the outside of the home, and only view the driveway, the back yard, the patio door and the side leading to the neighbors. This provides extra security in a remote rural environment. Cameras DO NOT view the hot tub, the boat dock or inside the home.

Private and Quiet
We had a great time! The property is at the end of a private road. We felt like there were no other people around us for miles. The boat docks and boat house are a little walk away and some stairs, but nothing that would deter us from renting again. Mike checked in with us during the week to make sure things were going well. It was better than the pictures make it look!

Peace and quiet
The property was even more beautiful then the pictures do it justice. Everything from check in to check out was flawless. The house is on a point with neighbors to each side but you wouldn't even know it. Its located remote enough for solidarity but close enough to town that you dont have to worry about forgetting things. The kitchen had the perfect amount of essentials to grab food for the house or bbq. The boat house allowed great relaxing time while the kids swam and fished. We enjoyed sitting on the porch and hot tub listening to the rain fall one evening. For our 1st VRBO experience we couldnt have been more please with the host or the property. We've already discussed a return trip with another family!

Great Base for a Fishing Vacation
Wonderful home with great views from many rooms and full length lanai. Well furnished and great place to relax after a day of fishing. Easy launching boat from Dandrige public dock just across lake and then tying up at property's dock during our stay. Enjoyed fire pit and the wildlife: raccoon, fox, eagle, deer, wild turkey... Lagniappe was catching 10 bass including two 4 pounders in 2 days of fishing at spots very close to property. Hope to return some day soon.

Fishing Trip
House was listed as described! Owners are easy to work with and go above and beyond to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. Having a dock for our boats with access to power are essential for our trip. Other plus is the internet reliability and speed. I would recommend to anyone looking for a great place on Lake Douglas.

Why they chose this property

This property is unique in that it gets you both privacy and main channel lake living near the Smoky Mountains. The house has been beautifully renovated with custom finishes. It is comfortable, clean, and modern. It's a wonderful home for either a romantic trip or a family vacation with lots of entertaining and gathering spaces. The property itself is 3 acres of seclusion with no full-time neighbors. You can really relax!

What makes this property unique

Main channel of Douglas Lake with a private boat dock. You can bring your own boat or rent one nearby. PS - there's NOT enough room in the driveway to bring a boat and trailer. Please don't try! A boat house with comfortable patio furniture invites you to relax by the water. A fire pit under a hand-built pergola is a wonderful place to gather and toast marshmallows for s'mores.
