Falltime lake getaway
Location was great, we knew water is down this time of year, but was still able to fish. Great views, and communication with the property manager. Only issue was the video game was broken. Driveway is steep but paved.

LOVED IT!
We had the best time here, 5 stars! Indian Creek Marina was very close to put our boat in the water. Loved the short walk up an easy slope to the house from the dock. The past 2 summers we have went to Norris and had over 100 steps to get to the house, and it was not pleasant, so this was so nice. It was so private and quiet, and the house was great! Great location on the lake! Everything we needed was provided. It was about a 35 minute drive into Sevierville. Very curvy roads, and watch for deer, we saw tons, and actually one black bear. The driveway is VERY steep, my husband actually made the clicking noise like a roller coaster every time we went up as a joke because it's that steep. He was actually able to back the trailer down the driveway and park it, but that was difficult because he couldn't really see what he was doing, but it's doable. Overall, fabulous week!!!

Beautiful house and dock needs a generator
The property and dock were very nice and secluded, the driveway is very steep. Our first full day there it stormed and we lost electricity and the water. We came to learn the house has a well. The inside was very comfortable and spacious. I would suggest the owner put in a generator to keep the pump running for water.

Perfect and Private!
My family loved this house! The house is totally private and so quiet! The kitchen is well stocked. We rented a boat for the week and we’re able to pull it right up to the dock at the house. We had no luck with fishing, but the boys had fun. Gatlinburg was about 40 minutes away but it was an easy ride. This house was perfect for our family vacation.

Quiet Cove
Loved the double decker dock, very peaceful & quiet cove. Hot tub was a nice feature as well as the fire pit. Home had lots of fun games, corn hole, yard size connect 4, closet full of board games as well. Driveway was a bit of a challenge and would have desired some stovetop pots and kitchen lights to be labeled, minor issues. Lovely home, thanks for sharing it.

Beautiful property
This home was comfortable and clean. The property itself was beautiful, peaceful and quiet. We loved sitting on the deck at sunset and appreciated being able to bring our dogs with us. The driveway was very steep and we were unable to park our boat in the driveway but we were made aware of that ahead of time and were able to park it at Swann’s Marina. The only disappointment was the water level was so low we weren’t able to use the dock at the home. We would love to come back later in the summer!

Extremely disappointing and Dirty!!!!
We drove over 4 hours to get to this cabin, we arrived after 9:00pm. Walked in to a smell of urine and dirty sheets and towels on the floor. The cabin was disgusting! After several conversations with the property manager I was told we would not be charged for that night and they were sending a cleaning crew. The cleaning crew finally arrived with their small daughter and changed the sheets, gave clean towels and did basic cleaning. The floors were not cleaned, nothing was dusted, there was spit on the bathroom mirror. It was not cleaned to Covid standards like they claim. By the way you have to initial two pages of rules to rent this place. It was after 11:00pm by this point. We did try and find another place but everything was sold out and the rental agent couldn't help us. It took several emails and calls for them to finally respond that they would send us a check for just the night stay and I would have to agree not to write a bad review. I said that the fees and taxes should be refunded as well. I contacted Vrbo, they contacted the agent. I got another email stating they were only going to refund half of the cleaning fee and taxes because I did not agree to the one night stay without the taxes and cleaning fee. They have lied so many times throughout this process. They also advertise lake view/lake front. The lake was drained and the dock was unusable. You do have to initial that you understand the lake could be a low level but not drained. I would never stay there or trust Douglas Rental Agency.

Piece of paradise
We all enjoyed our stay very much. The cabin was beautiful and had everything we needed. We all enjoyed the games and made so many memories. The fire pit was amazing and my husband and boys enjoyed the hot tub. The lower level bedroom was enjoyed by my husbands parents and they loved it. We didn’t want for anything while we were there. The cabin was located near Gatlinburg and pigeon forge where we enjoyed exploring new places and plenty of shopping. We would love to come back.

The house has everything you need to have a relaxing vacation but close enough to Dandridge, Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg to stay busy if you choose to go to dinner, do an Escape Room, shop, etc. The house is roomy, comfortable, VERY clean, beds are perfect. The games in the living room were so much fun for our adult kids. The fire pit is awesome. Perfect spot for a family vacation!

Beautiful but disappointing
I was very excited to get this property after a previous one was cancelled due to sale. I picked this property because of the amenities. However, some are very misleading. When I called to explain my disappointment about the lake, I was told that it was in the contract that I signed. Upon review of the contract again, it states that the property owners will not refund for “low lake levels”, they failed to state the lake would be non existent during this time. We planned on fishing with the boys (even in the cooler weather) as it was something they hadn’t done before and we planned on utilizing the property more than what we had. We are not from this area and had no idea that they drained the lakes for the winter. This did end up costing us more as we needed to find other alternatives for the kids due to this. The home is beautiful, but really the best time to appreciate it is in the summer. It would have been nice for this to be more clear so we could have planned accordingly. If we were to come here again, it would only be in the summer. I would have given this a better rating if it wasn’t for this major detail not being clearly outlined.

Beautiful Property
The house was very well equipped with everything that you needed . However bring some towels. It was nice that the hot tub was in a screened in porch, and the hot tub was very well maintained. The outdoor property offered a lot of fun swimming, boating, firepit. I would defiantly recommend this property to everyone. The only drawback was the turn into the driveway and the steep grade of the driveway. Otherwise very enjoyable stay.

Perfect Douglas Lake Vacation
We stayed for a week in July with our kids, ages 10, 16 & 19, and wish it would have lasted longer! I'll start with the outside. The house is on a beautiful piece of property, has two secluded coves on either side and sits about half way down a small hill. We enjoyed fishing, swimming and jumping off the double deck dock. The upper deck has a patio table with 4 chairs and 3 chaise lounges. The water has a greenish tint but is clean and clear. It has a clay, gravel bottom. The 24 foot pontoon we rented fit in the slip perfectly. Further up the hill there is a nice stone fire pit/patio area with 6 Adirondack chairs and a table. It was perfect for bonfires and Smores. The wrap around deck is on three sides and has a screened in section to enjoy some shade or the hot tub. The front porch has 4 rockers that are perfect for taking in the rays and views. The deck off the driveway is covered and we used this area during the few rain storms which blew threw. Plenty of parking next to the house but be aware the driveway is very steep. We've rented several mountain cabins in Tennessee so that comes with the territory but make sure your brakes and transmission are in good shape before the trip. The property is gorgeous and the pictures don't do the lake views justice. Now onto the inside. It was extremely clean, nicely decorated and very comfortable. The kitchen had updated stainless steel appliances, plenty of pots, pans, cookware, utensils and dishware for anything you may want to cook. There is a crockpot, blender, toaster and coffee pot as well. Laundry room is off the kitchen with a stackable setup for smaller loads. Dining table has seating for about 6. The living area has a very comfortable Lovesac sectional which was perfect for relaxing after a long day of outdoor activities. The video game console and Big Game Hunter game were cool as well. The kids also enjoyed the foosball table. The bedrooms were cozy and the beds were all comfy with plenty of extra bedding. The flat screen TV's, Directv and WiFi all worked well. We made lasting memories and will definitely stay here again in the future! A few tips/comments: Bring Wasp/Hornet spray, there were a few nests under the deck and dock. My daughter was stung twice! Bring firewood, the grill propane tank was empty when we arrived, retractable awning on front porch was not usable. No floats or water toys are supplied. You have to take your own trash 10 minutes away when you leave. Use H2O Watersports.
