Loved the Tippy Canoe

The Tippy Canoe Cabin was a great place to stay. Quite and in the country, but super close to grocery and services. Beautiful view of the lake from the wrap around deck and the hot tub. A short hop to get into Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.

Gorgeous cabin with gorgeous view!

This was a beautifully decorated cabin spotlessly clean with a huge deck looking over the lake. My husband and I stayed for 6 days and were so sad to leave! The bedrooms were big and comfortable and the living and kitchen area were great! We watched the sunset on the deck every night. It is definitely the most beautiful cabin with the best view in the resort. The hostess was welcoming and accomodating. We will definitely stay again!

Wonderful long weekend stay

The cabin is absolutely beautiful. It was my boyfriend’s and my Christmas gift to each other. Tamara left the Christmas tree and some of the decorations out in honor of that; such a thoughtful act! The cabin is clean and well stocked. It was a very cold weekend so we didn’t try the hot tub. Quiet, private property and we will absolutely stay here again. The owner is so easy to work with and stayed in communication with us. Everything was flawless. We loved our stay. Everything about the rental and checkout was easy peasy.

Perfect family getaway!

Our stay at Tamara’s place was EXACTLY what my family was looking for. She made everything so easy. Communication with her was top notch as she is very personable! After spending a long day doing all the tourist things, we loved coming back to the cabin and being able to relax on the deck, look at the view and the hot tub was an added bonus. The beds were comfy, everything was so clean and it felt like home away from home. Our 13 year old claimed the upstairs loft for himself, and our 6 year old got the whole king size bed to herself as well. There is a grocery store that’s very close by which was super convenient as town can get quite busy. I would absolutely book this, don’t second guess yourself. You won’t regret it!

👋 Meet Your Hosts
We're a family of three from Middle Tennessee who love to travel and explore new places—especially those hidden gems the locals love most! Whether it’s discovering a great new restaurant, hitting the hiking trails, or catching live music, we’re always up for a good adventure.

Some of our favorite activities include:
🎿 Snow skiing
🚵 Mountain biking & hiking
🎶 Music festivals, live concerts & comedy shows

We’ve thoughtfully designed our vacation rentals to reflect the kind of stays we enjoy most—comfortable, clean, well-stocked, and full of local charm. We’re here to make your stay easy and memorable!

Why they chose this property

We purchased this cabin as a special getaway for our family—a place to relax, reconnect, and create lasting memories together. From the moment we stepped onto the deck and saw the breathtaking lake and mountain views, we knew it was the perfect place.

Now, we’re excited to share it with other families and couples looking for the same kind of peaceful escape. We’ve thoughtfully outfitted the cabin with everything you need to feel at home, so you can focus on what matters most—making unforgettable memories with the ones you love.

What makes this property unique

🌟 Why Guests Choose Tippy Canoe
Tippy Canoe Cabin isn’t just another cabin rental. Every detail has been considered to give you a real home base for your trip, not just a place to sleep.

💤 Dual Master Suites (Main Level)
Unlike most cabins where someone draws the short straw on the bedroom, both main-level rooms are true masters. One suite has a private en-suite bathroom. The second suite has a dedicated bathroom with hallway access, shared with the loft. Each room has a premium mattress, quality linens, and makes it a natural fit for two couples or a family that wants everyone to have their own space.

🎮 The Loft “Fun Zone”
The upstairs loft is a favorite with kids and honestly, most adults too. It works as a second living area with a foosball table, classic arcade game system, twin trundle bed, and high-speed fiber Wi-Fi for gaming or streaming.

🌅 Elevated Panoramic Views
The private upper deck sits high on a ridge with sweeping seasonal views of Douglas Lake and the English Mountain range. Morning coffee in the swing chair or an evening in the 6-person hot tub hits differently up here.

✨ Clean and Ready on Arrival
We take cleanliness seriously. The interiors are spotless and the hot tub is professionally sanitized before every stay so you can walk in and start relaxing right away.
