This was our second visit to this property and we look forward to many more! Great home greet just great location!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving staying at this property. The owners are very good about communicating and being available during your stay. Big thank you for sharing their beautiful home with us to spend the holiday with distant relatives.

We had an amazing time! The grandkids loved it especially the s’more on the last night!

Hillbilly Hollow was the perfect choice for our Fall break with friends and family. The house and property are gorgeous and exactly like what is described online. The beds were comfortable, the kids loved the game room, and the fire pit was loved by all. One of the best features was the kitchen. We were there for a week so we needed to make quite a few meals during our stay. The kitchen has everything needed…and I literally mean everything!! Not only the basic essentials but ice cream makers, blenders, coffee & espresso machines, crock pots, two dishwashers, two ovens, and the list goes on and on. The owners were so attentive and answered all my questions timely, and even had extra firewood delivered the next day after we ran out. I’m still full from all the s’mores we made. It was a wonderful vacation, and we would definitely love to stay here again.

Had a blast

The house and multi-tiered deck is beautiful! Plenty of space for a family of 7 to sprawl out, which we definitely needed after the long drive from Jersey! The weather was stunning during our stay and even when it rained there was plenty of places around the house inside and out to enjoy the outdoors and still stay dry. Amanda and Dale were very accomodating and quick to respond whenever we had a question or problem. We did have a little trouble getting in initially but the problem was resolved quickly (thankfully given there was a bathroom emergency!). Some workmen did show up toward the end of our stay to do some work on the dock which limited our use of the kayaks, but to no fault of the owners. They had apparently been expecting them later in the week and though we probably still could have used the dock we didn't want to be in the way of their work. There are too many things to do and see in the area (especially when you're only staying for a few days) and the house is so comfortable you don't want to leave it, but we did manage to at least get out to the exotic petting zoo and deer farm and had a great time! Would definitely love to come back some day!

This place is more than we ever expected. Not one thing was missing that this home didn't have. This place is conveniently located to a lot of cities to day trip to. Chilling on the lake is relaxing. Stairs were a great workout. The only thing I recommend is bring throw blanket. You'll need one sitting in the lookout room. That was the best spot in the house. Only one tinsy downside was the dog slobber on the windows/doors and I cleaned out the tray in the vacuum which was overloaded with dog hair so I could vacuum the house. Maybe the cleaners missed it. Overall this place is fantastic to make lots of memories. We got here before Hurricane Idalia decided to make her debut in our home town. Nerve racking but was nice to be here while we watched. Definitely be back in the future if allows.

This house was exactly as advertised and we were very impressed with how thoughtful and thorough Amanda and Dale were when it came to the set up as well as instructions. We enjoyed spending time at the dock with the private cove, and even had a fun game night when it rained on a night during our stay. The house had plenty of room for our group of 10 and it was so well stocked! A lot of the things we bought at food city in town, the house already had and we just didn’t realize. We didn’t have any issues during our stay, but any time I reached out to Amanda and Dale they got right back to me within the hour. We would love to stay here again for our next trip to Douglas Lake!

The place was wonderful. This property is easily one of the most well stocked we've ever stayed at. They thought of everything and we so appreciated it. Will definitely recommend this place to our friends and come back ourselves in the future.

The house was really nice and spacious in a beautiful setting. There was every appliance you could think of to use, even an icemaker which was great because we use a lot. There was a Food City close on 411. Our family particularly loved having kayaks and paddle boards to use. If you have any type of disability with walking you won't make it upstairs or down to the dock but that only affected one of us and he powered through. Our owners were very attentive. Overall a great week and we would come again!

Loved this house!! House was beautiful and so clean! The hosts thought of so many nice amenities! The double kitchens were great for our large group because we did a lot of meal preparation. The lake access was so nice and private! And I liked that the cove provided a safe place for our younger kids to kayak and paddle board. We brought tubes that we could connect together and then attached to the dock, which was fun to just sit and float in. The hosts were great about adjusting the temperature to our liking. My only complaint is about the trash. It was a big inconvenience to have to take our trash to the local trash dump. It was very inconvenient to have to take time to run trash to the dump when we were so busy trying to enjoy our trip. Just felt like an unnecessary inconvenience. We even saw a trash truck come around the neighborhood so we wondered if there is trash service to that area. Or we felt like it should be added or included in the cleaning fee because the dump is 20 minutes away and you have to make a separate trip because it’s impossible to put several big bags of trash in your vehicle with all your belongings. And we had a bag start to leak with our belongings but fortunately caught it before it leaked nasty stuff all over out stuff. But otherwise it was the perfect lake house and the perfect vacation for our family!! Would love to stay here again!!

Huge home! Everything you could possibly want in the kitchen and game room. We had a lovely stay!

The property was just what we expected. Amanda and Dale welcomed us with a thoughtful gift basket on the kitchen table that included a pull rope for our dogs and candy for the kids. The house is huge so there was plenty of room for the kids to enjoy the all the games (mini arcade) provided and the adults could seek refuge for some cocktails on one of the many lounging areas on the decks, dock and porch. The kitchen is supremely stocked with seasonings, cooking/grilling utensils, 3 different types of coffee makers, and an ice cream maker to name a few. The lifesaver was the outdoor double door refrigerator on the side porch that kept all our drinks and bulk items cold and free from the kitchen fridge. The kids caught catfish, bass and crappie from the deck and had a blast on the several paddle boards provided. we rented a pontoon boat for 5 days and parked it right there at the dock. It was such a great vacation. Amanda and Dale have a treasure there.

Very nice property, lots of space, dock was very nice and the lake access was very easy.

This is the second time we have stayed here and we love it. There was 12 of us stay and it was plenty big for all of us. We loved being right on the water. There are paddle boards and kayaks, which was amazing. We highly recommend this property. It is beautiful and peaceful.

Everything was amazing. We enjoyed the decks and the private boat launch was awesome. We will definitely be back!

Our multi family one week stay was awesome! The hosts were great about communicating before and during our stay to make sure everything was perfect. The home is exactly as described and thoughtfully prepared with everything you might want or need. The lake is beautiful and was not crowded at all and the private cove is fantastic. Our only problem was the sulfur smelling water. We messaged the hosts and they responded immediately and got someone out to service the water system the same day. It was greatly improved but the smell didn’t go away completely.

It's a great property and was well stocked for our visit. However, the foul smelling water coming from the taps, shower, toilets and washing machine was disgusting. It was like rotten eggs. Also, how can you ask guests to take garbage off-site to the municipal facility? That's wrong! We would not have rented this property had we known about these things.

We decided to take an extended vacation from the routine daily life, this property was available and we jumped on it. Working with the hosts was easy and they were accommodating on our last minute request to extend the stay 1 week from our initial booking. The location was out of the way which made it perfect. It was close enough for everything we wanted to do but remote enough for the privacy we craved. Made some great memories of first kayaking for granddaughters to first mountain coaster rides. We even caught fish when we took time to do some fishing. If you’re looking for a great place to get away and make some memories, look no further! We will definitely try and come back, although as popular as this house is, we will need to book early.

Property is just as advertised! We had an amazing stay! Our kids loved the cat and he was very friendly hanging out on the deck. Our family also loved the stores!

Our family enjoyed our stay at Hillbilly Hollow. The pictures online are accurate. Everything you need is at the house. From fully stocked kitchen, down to the shampoo. The only thing we wished was that the water was higher so we could have enjoyed the kayak launch. Not the owner's fault, just fell short on predicting the TVA water chart. Would love to go back when the water is at full pool. Would definitely recommend staying here !

We had 4 adults and 8 kids for our stay! It was very accommodating for 12 people. Lots of places to sleep. The double kitchen was AMAZING to have with such a big group. 3 showers made cleaning up a breeze. The lake was beautiful! With the water levels being low the kids loved looking for fun rocks and shells. Amanda and Dale were great when it came to communication. Overall an amazing vacation spot! Definitely recommend!!

Hillbilly Hollow is hands down the best equipped home we have rented for a vacation. It has plenty of toys/entertaining games for kids of all ages, outside speakers for entertaining in a beautiful setting that by all accounts has its own natural symphony of bird sounds and requires no additional music to enjoy the outdoors. It is extremely peaceful, yet a short, scenic drive will take you to prime entertainment towns or Smoky Mountain National Park.

This is our second stay in two years at Hilbilly Hollow and we enjoyed it just as much as last year. My husband and I stayed with our 3 adult sons, one teenage son, and twin preteen sons and were all comfortable. We visited during a cold front, so we didn't do all of the outdoor activities that we had planned, but there was no shortage of activities in the area to keep everyone busy. Dale and Amanda were gracious hosts and very responsive during and before our stay. We will definitely stay again when we return to the area.

We stayed at this beautiful Lake house for New Years week and it was the perfect getaway! Amanda and Dale were extremely gracious and available for all of our needs (especially for us Floridians dealing with snow lol). House is just as pictured, very clean and has everything you can think of. We are a family of 5 with 2 teen boys and a toddler and it met all of everyones needs. From the shuffle board table to the family board games and even giant connect 4 game that my toddler loved to play, we never had a dull moment. Views are absolutely breathtaking ! The only downside was the windy roads to get to town but Amanda and Dale gave us all the info ahead of time so read the welcome package and you’ll be just fine ! We did our homework and it paid off because we planned ahead! We definitely plan on returning to this beautiful house ❤️

The house is very nice, and the area/setting is pretty. But there were several drawbacks that we wish we had known. First, the lake level is lowered significantly after Labor Day to about Memorial Day -- so the pictures in the listing aren't accurate unless you're there in summer (do an internet search for pictures of Douglas Lake in Fall/Winter). Ended up being a cool hike down to the water, though. Second, the road up the "mountain" to the house is narrow, long (20 minutes to main road, 35 minutes to Sevierville), and VERY twisty/up-and-down -- most of us were fine, but one family member was anxious (even panicky) every time we went anywhere, and I wish we'd stayed closer to the main road/town. Third, the layout on the listing isn't clear -- there are two big (giant) bedrooms and 2 nice bathrooms on the upper floor (upstairs) and the two bedrooms and 1 bath/shower on the main floor are tiny; some of my family had problems with stairs, which meant they were stuck in the less desirable rooms and the murphy bed, which was NOT comfortable. Fourth, the house has well water, which smells strong and GROSS to those of us who are not used to it. It never improved the entire week even after trying to "flush" the faucets, so showers were not pleasant. Finally, it was awesome that there was a large cooler on the porch for our extra food/drinks for the week, but it malfunctioned mid-week overnight and froze, ruining $200-300 worth of beer, soda, and food we had just bought that day. The host didn't seem to care and wouldn't reimburse us for the loss when we asked. It was the day before Thanksgiving so I felt bad bothering them, but they could have been more responsive, or at least sympathetic to the loss. Also there were 2 or 3 stray/feral cats on the back porch the entire week. Luckily we didn't mind (the kids enjoyed them) but it was strange. Overall I've had much better VRBO stays, but if you know what you're getting into you would probably have a better experience.

The home was spacious with all kinds of “things to do.” The kitchen is a chef’s delight with lots of appliances, coffee bar, spices galore and great lighting. Sitting on the deck with a beverage of choice, is a must do. Hosts are A-one. Town is busy but everyone VERY friendly

Beautiful, spacious house overlooking Douglas Lake. So peaceful, lots of wildlife, and a ton of room for our family! The lake was still visible from the dock and a short walk down to the waterside. A short 20ish minute drive to Sevierville and Pigeon Forge but far enough away from the hustle and bustle of it all!

The owner's provided everything we needed for our family! Great experience!

Being that the property is 15 minutes from the nearest store it kind of forces you to gather the food your family needs for a few days and then not want to leave which was perfect for our family let us constantly on the go would recommend to anyone who wants to getaway and stay on the lake with modern creature comforts

We had an excellent stay and the owners communicated well through the stay! The property is beautiful and quiet outside . Would recommend this property to anyone!

Our 5 day, 4 night vacation was great. Awesome view. Made use of the fire pit, and it was nice to have a pack and play on site for the 5 month old. The primary bedroom was absolutely perfect. Having 7 adults the double kitchen was really good to have because there was meals prepared multiple times. I would highly recommend.
