This is an absolute beautiful house with lovely finishes, big enough for multiple families to enjoy! Decks on every floor give expansive views of the lake. My group especially enjoyed the hot tub and lounging on the decks in the sun. Our mattress ,we had downstairs bedroom, was extremely comfortable . The house is clean and has everything you could possibly need. We cooked several meals and the home owners have provided all types of cookware including crockpot, griddle, nice pots and pans. We also loved the location, it was a very short drive to Food City and an easy drive to pigeon forge where we enjoyed endless places to shop and the mountain coaster. The property owners are great and communication was prompt and helpful. I would highly recommend this rental property and hope we have the opportunity to visit again.

Our stay was perfect. The house and accommodations were great. The fenced dog lot made it so much easier and comfortable for the dogs. Highly recommend this house

We loved having you and the furry friends! So glad you had a nice stay.
Beautiful house, amazing view. Very quiet and a ton of room. It was fully stocked with everything we needed. Decks were awesome to sit out in evenings, hot tub was a hit! Beds were very comfy! Kayaks were provided and nice to use on the lake. Would definitely stay here again!

Its so relaxing to just sit on those decks and take it all in. Glady you got to get out and kayak, its probably my favorite thing to do here! Thanks for the kind words.
We loved our stay here. As a party of 6, we were able to spread out to sleep yet still spend quality time together. The place was super clean and had everything we needed. I would stay here again.

We are delighted to hear you had a nice stay and found it clean. We LOVE our cleaners! Thanks for the review.
We loved the views and the beautiful home. The kids loved all the space that they had for activities. The beds are huge and very comfortable. The property is isolated, which is very good for us. We are not exactly a quiet family. We would 100% recommend staying here.

We loved having your group and are thrilled you found it comfortable and to be a great fit for your family. We hope to have you again!
I have rented several houses over the years and this was the cleanest that I have stayed in. The location is very private with plenty of space and activities available. Mike and Katrina were easy to work with and very responsive. The kitchen was stocked with several items you don’t usually find at rentals including a waffle maker, electric mixer, 2 crock pots, pancake griddle and more. I do recommend getting the golf cart to travel up and down to the water. The path is very steep. Good ole boys knows the property and had one waiting for us when we arrived. A great place to spend a week.

We were delighted to host you and thanks for the review. We agree no-one regrets renting the golf cart and that view perched up over the lake makes it all worth it! So glad you found it clean and the service to be meeting expectations. We love our cleaners and truly love hosting!
The property is large and we had plenty of room for our multi-family situation (Grandma and Grandpa included). The three decks facing the lake provided ample opportunity to maximize the view and to spread out. The beds were very comfy too. If you have very young or older guests you MUST rent a golf-cart from Good 'Ol Boys (trust me). Katrina was amazing and super helpful in every communication.

JD - Thanks for the wonderful review and being an amazing guest! So glad the home was a good fit for your family and that you got to use to the fullest our new dock and the decks. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!
Nice and roomy. The only thing I did not like was that we could not find any outside lighting around the house. Otherwise, the property was worked well for our family. :)

We loved having you Diane! We have string lights now and it creates a lovely ambiance. Hope to have you again
This house was perfect for us ages 20 to 64. We had everything we needed at the house for a great time. 2 full kitchens with plenty of dishes and small appliances. Boat rental just a few miles down the road. Close enough to pigeon forge and Gatlinburg. We rented a boat and spent a day at Dollywood and rested and relaxed at the house. Loved the daybeads on the lower porch. Exceeded expectations! I will say the hike from the lake is strenuous. I need to do it daily for a few weeks. If your not in shape consider renting a Golf cart or UTV.

Perfect Family Getaway on Douglas Lake – A Serene and Scenic Retreat
We just spent an incredible week at this beautiful lake house on Douglas Lake in Dandridge, TN, with our family—my wife, our two adult children, and our two little dogs. From the moment we arrived, we knew we were in for a treat. The house is even more stunning in person, with all the comforts of home and a breathtaking view of the lake.
The location is perfect—secluded enough to feel like a true getaway, but close enough to town for any essentials. We spent our days fishing, kayaking, and just soaking in the peaceful atmosphere. Evenings were all about family dinners on the deck, enjoying the sunset over the water. The house had everything we needed, and the attention to detail made our stay so comfortable.
Our dogs loved it too—plenty of space for them to explore, and they quickly settled into the relaxed vibe. We loved waking up to the sound of the lake and the fresh air. It was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation, and we couldn't have asked for a better place to spend quality time together as a family.
We highly recommend this lake house to anyone looking for a serene and picturesque retreat. We'll definitely be coming back!

Chris, we are thrilled you had such a wonderful experience. Guests like yourself and delivering relaxing lake experiences are exactly why we started on this journey. We look forward to your return visit!
My spouse and I have been traveling together since we met. We love being active and being outdoors, and our favorite thing to do is spend time on the water kayaking, or hiking in nature. We love sharing these experiences with our two young boys, and want to share it with you too at our home on Douglas Lake in the Smokies. We look forward to helping you have the best vacation yet!
Why they chose this property
Amazing proximity to so many things while being right on the water in a secluded wooded lot with amazing views. The cove is quiet and perfect for swimming while being close to the main channel of Douglas.
What makes this property unique
The property setup for large groups is ideal! The two full kitchens, 3800 sqft with large gathering spaces and huge 3 tier deck overlooking the lake comfortably accommodates 12. Combined with a secluded property with mountain views in front and lake views and private lake access in back its the perfect gathering place for groups or large families! We also have 2 young boys ourselves and know how much stuff you need to bring when traveling with kids, so we've setup the house to make it easy. We include things like high chair, pack n play, kids books, kids toys, and kids eating supplies (plates, cups, utensils) so all can have a relaxing vacation :)
