Main Level:

Living Room:
The living room is complete with a plush reclining sofa and oversized reclining chair for nights in watching the large flatscreen smart tv. This home has both cable tv and internet access for your  favorite streaming service. The living room is steps away from the kitchen so you won’t miss movie time when you need a stack. This room also has floor to ceiling windows and doors so you can admire the gorgeous views from the comfy couch.

Kitchen:
The kitchen is fully equipped for any meal and includes stainless steel appliances (refrigerator, stove, microwave and dishwasher), a wide array of pots and pans and any utensil you may need. When you’re on lake time, morning coffee is a must so we have both a Keurig and coffee pot. Evening drinks are also a must so you’ll be prepared with your own wine cooler. We have cookbooks on hand so you’ll have no excuses on cooking that amazing meal for the whole family.

Dining Room:
The dining room offers a large table with lake and mountain views and has seating for 6. The dining room is right next to the living room so you can enjoy large meals with the whole family. There is also an additional refrigerator to store all of your fresh lake catches! The dining table also makes a great work space if needed and an even better game space all while admiring views of the lake. We have plenty of board games available for hours of family fun including monopoly, clue, family feud, beat the parents and more.

Game Room:
A vacation home isn’t a vacation home without a game room! You’ll have hours of entertainment with the Pac Man Arcade, game table with pool, foosball, air hockey or tabletop tennis, basketball hoop, karaoke machine and a flatscreen tv. This room doubles as a sleeping space with a queen sleeper sofa, has a 2-person high top table and has amazing views of the lake.

King Bedroom:
Offering a plush king size bed with bedside tables and lamps, a large closet, and dresser, this room is very convenient as it is on the main level of the home, steps from the front door, and steps from the bathroom and kitchen. This room also has a ceiling fan and additional floor fans if needed for the most relaxing nights sleep.

Bathroom (& Laundry Room):
The bathroom is conveniently located off of kitchen and bedroom and offers a full size walk in shower with the option of a hand held shower head and plenty of storage for all of your guests to clean up after a long day of lake fun. There is also a full bathroom upstairs. This home has a laundry room, conveniently off of the bathroom (and kitchen) so pack light knowing that your laundry needs are covered.

Upstairs:

Double Queen Bedroom:
This room has 2 queen beds and an amazing view of the mountains and lake. Grab some fresh air before bed as this room has a small balcony facing the water. This bedroom has plenty of storage for your belongings.

Bunk Bedroom:
Directly across the hall, this bunk room offers a full size bed with a twin bunk above, plenty of storage and also has a small balcony to take in the Tennessee mountain air.

Bathroom:
The full bathroom is located conveniently between the 2 upstairs bedrooms and offers a full shower along with plenty of storage for all guests. This second bath and shower will speed up the clean up process to allow more time for fun with friends and/or family.

Best lake rental property
We frequently rent lake houses for long weekends on several different lakes throughout TN, NC, SC, and GA. This property is by far the best property our regular group of folks have been to. Beautiful mountain views, short boat ride to killer sunsets, nice and tidy peninsula for morning coffee walks. We will be absolutely sure to return. Can't think of anything at all with the property that I could suggest to improve on! Thanks for having us!

Mountain Retreat
This was our first attempt with booking with VRBO in Tennessee. All we knew was that we wanted to be in Sevierville, we wanted to be on Douglas Lake and we wanted to be able to launch my brother’s 23’ boat. This place was everything we wanted and more! It was perfect! The house is beautiful, spacious and clean. The kitchen is big,and stocked well with everything we needed to cook. The deck overlooking the lake was our favorite spot next to being in the lake swimming. We hung out on the floating dock swimming every day. The only thing we will bring with us next time is an easy up awning for the floating dock to give us a break from the sun. This was our best vacation ever! Highly recommended!

Wonderful quiet place
Quiet cove on the water. Indoor fun with game room and TV with Roku. Dock for rental boats and our paddle boards and kayak. Shaded area near dock for hanging out. The fire pit was great for s’mores. Our family cooked in the complete kitchen and enjoyed time together on the water. Great location😀

Such a beautiful spot!
Relaxing out on the porch was amazing! The beds were very comfortable and clean. It was a luxury to have 2 refrigerators. It was also nice to have wifi, even with our large group it only slowed down a few times at night. I couldnt believe how clean and bug free the dock was, usually around a lake there are a million spiders, and we only saw a few. Could have stared out at the lake forever. Only suggestion, a better light in the carport area, there might have been one that we missed, but not sure. Other than that everything was perfect! Really loved the lights on the dock and arou d the firepit, made it very nice to see out at night.

Absolutely Perfect Location
The cabin was very clean and well stocked with linens, dishes, pots and pans. I am thankful that I brought a roll of paper towels. 1 roll of paper towels was provided, but when I cook, I use a lot. LOL The property, the deck, Dock and every thing was high quality and just perfect. This cabin is located in a cove, so there is very little boat traffic. We had an amazing time here. The driveway is long and goes all the way to the lake. Such a peaceful place to walk, watch rabbits, birds and wildlife. There was a racoon that we had to fuss with about getting into the trash. LOL The owner was very responsive to any questions we had. Everything was just perfect. If you are looking for a quiet cove with a perfect cabin, look no further. Thank you so much!!

Great Getaway
Negative- lighting for wheel chair ramp was nonexistent. Also, very weak boards at the top of the ramp that needs replacing. We had 2 family members in wheel chairs and it was very difficult to get them in and out after dark. Yard didn't have enough lighting, we was scared to let our small dog out due to poor lighting and hearing coyotes very close at night. Positive- property and home is BEAUTIFUL! Very private! Great for anyone who loves the outdoors. It had plenty of room, we had a very small dinner after our wedding and it was perfect for everyone to have room to eat and serve food. Pictures here was BEAUTIFUL! Honestly wished we had just had the wedding here. It is handicap assessable aside from the weak boards and lighting issues there wasn't any other problems, plenty of room for wheelchair in the bathroom. But no shower chair of any sort. We loved taking evening walks down by the lake and watching the different wildlife we saw. Road was accessible for small cars. Lots of room for parking. We had a good supply of towels, toilet paper ect. Kitchen had everything we needed. We would definitely stay again!

Quick get away
This is an excellent cabin with a lot to do for both children and adults. The host replied very quickly to questions asked before the stay. The biggest shock was how low the lake was but people were still riding boats and the kids were able to fish. It just looked much different than the picture. Our only con is we wish we were able to stay longer!

Nice week at the lake! Views are beautiful. Close to the Sky Bridge and Forbidden Caves. I’m sure a good fishing lake, the fish were a bit aggressive for swimming, glad we brought rafts and a floating island. Made our time in the water more enjoyable. Nice place to stay, very private.

So peaceful and relaxing
I wanted to stay here for my birthday weekend and had an absolute amazing time. It is far enough off the road you can't hear traffic. It's off in a cove so not much boat traffic either. Had fun exploring this part of the lake on kayaks. The house was very clean. The road to it is very curvy, but not a problem if you plan on staying there until time to check out. I would definitely love to stay there again.
