About this property
Private Lakefront Retreat on Douglas Lake
Beautiful updated home, year-round waterfront on Douglas Lake, near Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, & the Smokey Mountains. Relax in privacy on 3 lakefront acres with a private dock where you can bring your own watercraft! Enjoy a fully remodeled interior with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and entertaining spaces both upstairs and down. Unwind on the front porch, patio, or at the boat house, and enjoy the lake views, soak in the hot tub, or sit around the fire pit. Come see what lake life is all about!
The space
A very secluded property on the main channel of Douglas Lake, with all the comforts of home, including high-speed internet and good cell phone service. This premium location means that no matter what time of year it is, you will have private lake access.
Two bedrooms available upstairs - one is a master suite with a king bed. The other sleeps up to 5 on a queen bed and twin over full bunks. A full bathroom and laundry is available upstairs as well. The house features a full kitchen with all appliances, a large dining room with TV and Roku, with walk-out access to a huge front porch with a grill and outdoor dining area with gorgeous lake views.
Downstairs can sleep up to 4 on a full bed and twin over twin bunks. There are extra sleeping spaces for guests on an air mattress or in the sleeping niche under the stairs. A kitchenette and water closet means extra privacy and convenience for guests staying downstairs. Large comfortable couches, a smart TV, and plenty of games and books for entertainment are available for you downstairs, and you can walk out to a covered patio, complete with a seating area and 4 person hot tub (more comfortable for 2)!
Other entertaining spaces include a large front yard with views all around, and a wood burning fire pit under hand-built pergolas. There is a private boat house with comfortable patio seating, which overlooks the private boat dock and the secluded cove where there's plenty of fishing and deep water for swimming!
Guest access
The whole house is yours for the duration of your stay!
Other things to note
A grill is available for outside cooking. There is a private boat dock available for your use, and there are boat ramps within 15 minutes of the property. There are also several boat and watercraft rental locations within 10 minutes of the property.
Please note, this is a TVA controlled lake. The lake is kept full from Memorial Day to Labor Day, but is lowered the rest of the year. The boat dock may not be available when the lake is lowered, but you will still have lake views and access for tying up a boat and fishing.
PS - there's NOT enough room in the driveway to bring a boat and trailer. Please don't try!!!
Four Ring security cameras are located on the outside of the home, and only view the driveway, the back yard, the patio door and the side leading to the neighbors. This provides extra security in a remote rural environment. Cameras DO NOT view the hot tub, the boat dock or inside the home.

Why they chose this property
This property is unique in that it gets you both privacy and main channel lake living near the Smoky Mountains. The house has been beautifully renovated with custom finishes. It is comfortable, clean, and modern. It's a wonderful home for either a romantic trip or a family vacation with lots of entertaining and gathering spaces. The property itself is 3 acres of seclusion with no full-time neighbors. You can really relax!
What makes this property unique
Main channel of Douglas Lake with a private boat dock. You can bring your own boat or rent one nearby. PS - there's NOT enough room in the driveway to bring a boat and trailer. Please don't try! A boat house with comfortable patio furniture invites you to relax by the water. A fire pit under a hand-built pergola is a wonderful place to gather and toast marshmallows for s'mores. Wood is furnished.
