Douglas Lake is very peaceful. We enjoyed the scenery and sunsets. Ruby’s Lake House’s deck was where we spent most of our time - relaxing, eating, and watching the activity on the lake.

Lovely Mini-Vacation

Cabin was beautiful and clean, beds were comfortable, all amenities were acceptable. Only drawback was the roads we had to drive to get to the cabin. Lots and lots of twists and turns, to be expected in Sevierville, but did not expect this when going to the lake.

Fantastic place!!

My family loved this lakeside cabin! Very clean and we loved the rustic cabin feel. My wife and I had coffee every morning on the dock..so peaceful. We were dropping our daughter off at UT which is under an hour and an easy drive. Would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone.

Peaceful vacation!

Very cozy, well equipped cabin. Everything you need for a enjoyable vacation. A few minor things….had to sweep the cobwebs from the stairway and deck, poison ivy in yard… All questions were answered very quickly by management company.

Our stay at Ruby’s Lake House

We were at Ruby’s Lake House this was our second time there and it won’t be our last , me my wife and some family were together, it is such a pretty place. If there was a down side it would be the floating boat dock , the two sides were missing hopefully it was just a repair and not permanent. The booking agency was so kind and courteous . Plan to definitely book again in the near future . Don

Beautiful Cabin - Ruby’s Lakehouse

This cabin was located on a beautiful road just outside of town allowing for some peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle. The entry way through the laundry room is a little misleading from the pictures but the cabin itself did not disappoint! Everything was clean and stocked well. We even got to watch the tv which is hard to find in the mountains. It has a perfect little balcony to drink your coffee on in the mornings. Made for a great girls trip!

Ruby Lakehouse Stay

No hot water in upstairs bathroom but made it work by showering downstairs. Loose second step going into cabin but made sure we were careful. The outside boat dock and having a private boat ramp made it worth it. Would stay again.

Quick Getaway

Wonderful weekend trip with my family. Very cozy cabin. We did have a maintenance issue with the upstairs heat not working. Maintenance technician was quick to communicate and help resolve the problem. We’ve rented many places and sometimes issues do arise. It’s always good to have responsible owners and staff in place to resolve those issues. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Good location

We visit Douglas Lake every summer and stay in different locations to experience different sections of the lake. This was a closer location. The home is very rustic inside, dark (not a lot of lighting) but we enjoyed the cabin. The master bathroom shower is tiny ... good thing we are not large people. Can't move around in that shower. LOL The downstairs bedrooms were warm - ceiling fans would be nice. Kitchen had everything we needed. Gas grill didn't work, didn't have a lighter to light the grill. Loved the lake and this location was not on a HILL. We were happy not having to carry our kayaks up and down a steep hill!

Great location

We really enjoyed our stay at Ruby's lakehouse. The location was perfect for us, being able to put our boat in at the house instead of having to go to the marina was so convenient. The house was great. There is only 2 things I would change the master shower is way to small and had no water pressure so I shared the one downstairs with the rest of the family, the bathroom is spacious enough for a bigger shower. The other is the Lakeview, when sitting on the deck outside the living area the gorgeous view is blocked by all the trees. Oh and maybe some more towels and washcloths for those of us who stay a full week. On a positive note the home does have everything you need for your stay it's spacious, location to pigeon forge and Gatlinburg is perfect your not in the hustle and bustle. I definitely would recommend Ruby's lakehouse. Douglas lake is huge and we stayed during the week of July 4th and it was never congested like most lakes are. Love it!!! Sarah

Lake House

So this property is very peaceful. Overall it was a very pleasant stay. Upon our arrival there was some confusion with the boat ramp, the water was up so high it was difficult to find but we received assistance within an hour. I’d definitely stay again however there is a few suggestions I would make. The shower upstairs takes about 10-15 minutes to have hot water come, the shower head needs replaced it is not good, not sure what to say about it, the water pressure to it is almost nonexistent as well. The washer knob to select wash is not working properly and the 2nd step going up from the laundry room is loose and needs fixed. There needs to be a loveseat or another couch just because there’s not room for more than 4 people to sit in the living area unless you’re sitting in a dining chair. Again this is little things that can make it better and wouldn’t keep me from returning. It’s an absolute beautiful place. We really enjoyed the convenience of docking the boat and not worrying about putting it in and out.
