There are a few wooded pathways, landscaped hillside garden. It's a beautiful haven, where you can truly feel away from it all.

LAKE LEVELS VARY:
PLEASE NOTE : This is a TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority) dam controlled lake. Levels fall slowly beginning in September and fully rise again in April. The winter lake levels are dependent on rainfall and TVA's whim (See TVA website for current levels). The summer levels stay consistently at their highest, and are easily deep enough for fishing, swimming, and docking a boat with water receding starting around September. The winter lake level will create a wide, firm, sandy shoreline that is interesting to explore. Many an arrowhead and crystals have been found here.

Mom's first words as we walked up, no joke. First, the positives: Clean floors/sinks/tubs, great view, interesting history of where the property came from, back patio is lovely to hang out on and great access to the lake. Oh- and the beds were comfortable, just don't unzip the pillow covers (four thick) when you strip the linens... it was disgusting. Downside: after a long day of traveling, basic necessities were not provided. Example: no coffee or shampoo. Each shower had one tiny Motel-8-style soap round and nothing else. The house, while expected to be rustic and cabin-like, has vastly more items and nicknacks packed into every open spot. The photos show antique decor but not to the level that it currently is at, including the old preserved ham hanging in the kitchen. Beware of touching that oily ham bag! Another nice touch are the thrashed bar-b-que tools hanging as decor on the patio, dripping grease and food residue on the ground. Aprons hung as window curtains could be fun, but these were stained and dirty. Many spices are expired. In reality, we have friends who own family cabins like this. While it's a treat to be invited to stay at a friend's old family heirloom-filled cabin, it's not the same when you are paying premium pricing on a vacation. The bottom line is, this is obviously a treasured family cabin likely full of ongoing memories for the family who owns it, but it's not to the basic standard of a vacation rental. Absolutely better choices in the area.

We had 3 generations on this trip ages 19 to mid 80s. Everyone had a fantastic time. Rented a boat and was able to pull it right up to the dock. Cook of the family loved the stove! My 6 foot son even slept in the loft. The in laws took lots of wonderful walks around the property. Front yard was perfect for a family corn hole competition. Personally i loved the porch bed! Several nights of playing games as a family and incredible laughs. This cabin took you back in time yes was extremely comfortable and had enough modern touches to make all ages comfortable. The only thing i would recommend is updating the listing here.

We had a wonderful time at this property, it is a very unique property with a lot of history and charm that we really enjoyed. There was plenty of privacy with many wonderful areas to explore. The lake access is easy with a nice dock which easily accommodated our jet skis. Tara was very responsive to my questions, and I would definitely recommend this property for anyone looking to have a great time at Douglas Lake.

This place has a special place in our hearts; it was our 3rd stay here. We've made so many family memories in the cabin: watching movies, playing games, eating together; and outside: on the deck, in the hot tub, on the lake, in the gorgeous yard. There are many wonderful cabins in the Smokies but none as homey and unique as this one made from log cabins. We will be back, Lord willing!

We had a wonderful stay. Everything was very relaxing and loved by all. Appreciate that it was stocked with everything we needed! We all felt right at home and enjoyed the love that was definately shown in preparing this vacation rental. If anyone needed a quiet spot you could find several private cozy places. My only comment would be that the houskkeeping completely clean and remove items out of the refrigerator! I was not happy when we opened the door to put our food in it. Otherwise, we will definitely come back. Thank you for caring about your renters opinions.
