The house was nice and we had plenty of room for our large family. We loved the privacy of the property. The boat was enjoyable as well. I would recommend this property.
The location and view are wonderful! The beds are VERY comfortable! Huge house with plenty of room and easy access to the lake. If needed,walmart in Newport delivers here! We had a great time!
Great location with plenty of parking. The views were amazing! The lodge had plenty of bedrooms. The temperature got down in the teens but the lodge stayed nice and toasty.
This beautiful house was perfect for our family stay at the lake! There was plenty of room, a dock for the boat and jetskis, and an easy walk to the water. The location is pretty close to Dollywood area, so there was plenty to do when not on the water. Loved our time there and will be back!
We loved our stay. The house is well off the beaten path and that is just what we wanted. It fit our family well and we would definitely stay here again.
Our stay was wonderful. The area is peaceful and the property has plenty of space for a larger group of couples. My only recommendation: if it's been a while since you've made a pot of coffee, bring your Keurig 😁
Had a great Christmas with the family, lots of room for all of us, the host was gracious enough to setup a Christmas tree, and very easy to work with thank you. The view was beautiful, even with the lake down, was very peaceful, relaxing and all worth it.PS. No dig, but the deck could use some TLC
The house is away from it all and directly on the water. Peacetime beautiful. My family loved the house and Walmart even delivers so you don’t have to drive out for groceries unless you want to. A easy drive to food and fun. Big yard with plenty of room for the bounce house we rented. Great stay!
Great family home. Had everything we needed. Host was very friendly and easily accessible. Water was definitely an issue due to the sulfur smell but we managed with gallons. If bringing a boat make sure to check the water level as we were unable to dock.

The property is located in a very nice part of Douglas Lake. There is a large amount of room for a large family and or friends. Although there were a few hiccups the host did work with us to get things in order. Overall, we had a great time just being able to be with our family members and make some great memories.
The stay was wonderful. The accommodations were exquisite. Yes, there is a sulfur smell to the water but a wax melt was there and provided. I also bought some plug-ins after reading reviews and honestly, it was a non-issue. We had cell service the whole time, but we have Verizon. Location was phenomenal. The upper deck could use some maintenance, but it was sturdy and not a problem. The only thing we could have asked for to be better was more water pressure. I absolutely recommend this location for anyone wanting a high-end getaway.
The views from the home are absolutely amazing. The upgrades to the master bath were beautiful. The location is private and peaceful which is what we were looking for. However, there were some issues that were disappointing. We found a dishwasher full of dirty dishes and the coffee pot was so dirty we had to soak it overnight to get it clean for use. The deck has several soft and rotten boards that I would not be comfortable allowing children to walk on. The deck area, including table and chairs were also filthy.
First and foremost, our family had an absolutely wonderful time! Communication with the host was excellent. In general, the home was clean. All the big things that mattered most were perfectly clean. We were pleasantly surprised to find a bunk room in what used to be the master closet. That came in handy for sure. Although the lake water level is on its way down for the season, we thoroughly enjoyed the warm water and we all came home a bit water logged! We would definitely enjoy this home again!
Don’t stay here. No pillowcases for pillows, bathrooms dirty, water smells so bad you can’t shower or brush your teeth. Not worth the money at all!!!! Worst Christmas I have ever had!!
Pros: Great access to the lake, plenty of space to spread out at night in the house. Very Private
Cons: Deck is falling apart and has holes in it. Most outlets don't work, and lights are burnt out and leave the rooms dark. The keypad to check in doesn't work most times. Air conditioner in the basement is undersized and leaves the space very warm.
Overall: The house is very worn and in need of updates it's nice for what it is but overpriced for the quality of the stay.
The house was super nice and the view of the lake was amazing. Downstairs however there were alot of bees that got inside somehow and the deck had a ton of spider eggs. The deck needs to be updated as it had some holes and you had to be careful were you stepped. I will say I'm not sure who the cleaning crew is between stays, but they didn't do a great job on the tables and the vacuum was full and didn't work well as we did clean things before we left. The host was very easy to talk with and get ahold of. I would suggest they get some new pans for cooking as some of them were old and started to have the bottom peel off. Also would suggest getting a toaster. I would defiantly come back to visit in the summer when the lake is higher so we could use the boat dock and slide that was off to the side of the house. I loved that it was pretty secluded and we didn't have to look at any other houses across the way. The stars were also so beautiful at night since there was no light pollution from any cities.
The only good thing about this is the location and the view house is big but needs lots of updates over price he likes to milk money but not investing to fix thinks very dirty as we arrived not been cleans I took pic and talk to the owner about it lied that he will take some money out never did water is horible stinks like roaten eggs could take a shower for 5 nights you need to go buy fresh water to brush teeth wash face etc he controls the temperature thermostat I ask for the pin he dint wanna give it to us always have to Tex him turn up or down and more to it any way I don’t recomand this place even tho the pic on line looks good it’s not what you see that lake was drain out over 30 ft and I don’t know that until I got there bad vacation and we had 3 birthdays in this place horrible

Kitchen has all you need to cook. Propane grill has leak and lost full tank. Beds were comfortable. There was a surprise bunk room off main bedroom suite. Water pressure on first floor slightly bad. Make sure you hold down bathroom toilet handle for a few seconds then pull up. Basement pressure ok. Pontoon boat was wonderful. Enough life jackets for all. Bring water slippers cuz rocks. Slip n slide a great surprise too. Fishing not too great but caught a few. WiFi no problem and Verizon only a few brown areas on the road to house. Views of water and sunset breath-taking. We brought our water to drink but they have a culligan filtering system. Decks does need some maintenance. Dollywood, gatlinburg and pigeon forge not far. Enjoyed a day of each. Check in and out by phone real easy. The hill to the boat dock is steep. I have mobility issues and could not do so I sat on deck with drink in one hand and phone in the other taking pictures of family. Enjoy your time there. We did.

Mixed feelings
The Lake and location were perfect. AC broke but got fixed within day, send a lawn cutter during our stay which someone on trip is allergic to fresh cut grass, no heads up they just showed, sent tru green another day,and also culligan. There were no pillow cases left for us and only 2 wash cloths for an entire week of a group of 10, 1 roll of tp in bathrooms and we found dirty spiderman underwear in an endtable, also the back porch is in rough shape boards are cracking and nails coming up, the ceiling fan from the balcony missing an arm so couldnt have a breeze at all. There isnt a keurig as the website states nor a firepit just so everyone is aware. So our trip was interrupted alot, the owner thought we wanted his boat for week which we paid 600 to use, which only had approximayely 9 gallons of gas which we put 12 in before we left, got bill for 19 gallons on way home , which we paid immediately and than the owner attempted charging me and effort fee of 50, hahaha nope not paying.however, the experience wasnt fun we still made our vacation fun!
