Other Things to Note:
***Important Notice About Douglas Lake Water Levels:
Douglas Lake is a seasonal lake managed by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). Each year, beginning in early October, the TVA gradually lowers the lake level — sometimes by as much as 25 feet — to prepare for winter storms and manage water flow throughout the region. During this seasonal drawdown, portions of the shoreline and red-clay lakebed may become visible.
Water levels typically begin to rise again in late May through early June; however, refill timing and lake depth are heavily dependent on rainfall and weather conditions. In drier seasons or periods of lower rainfall, water levels may remain lower than usual for longer periods of time.
For the most accurate and up-to-date lake level information, we recommend checking the TVA website directly. Recent lower-than-average rainfall and drought conditions in the area have resulted in reduced runoff and may impact current lake conditions.

Was an awesome stay. Nice and relaxing and close enough to the city, but far enough to have that mountain log cabin feel . Would recommend

Thank you for staying with Beyond Expectations! We’re so glad you had an awesome and relaxing stay and were able to enjoy that perfect balance of being close to the city while still getting the mountain cabin experience. We truly appreciate the recommendation and would love to host you again anytime!
I had the best time ever so many things to do in a very short distance. The property was just as listed even better in person. Hot tub after long day of seeing the sights was thee best. I would most definitely recommend and stay again
