About this property

Tippy Canoe Cabin: Lake views & Hot Tub

Perched at the end of a quiet private road, Tippy Canoe Cabin sits high above Douglas Lake with 180° panoramic views of the lake and English Mountain that are genuinely hard to find anywhere else in the area. This is the kind of place where you lose track of time watching the light change over the water.

The wraparound deck is where most guests end up spending half their trip — morning coffee, golden hour, the hot tub after dark with the lake spread out below you. Inside, the cabin sleeps 6 across two private bedrooms and an open loft, with a fully stocked kitchen, electric fireplace, and fiber Wi-Fi throughout.

As part of Douglas Lake Resort, guests also have access to a seasonal pool, a private boat launch, and parking with room for a trailer.

Pigeon Forge is about 25-30 minutes away, Gatlinburg and the national park around 45. But honestly, a lot of guests tell us they barely want to leave.

Booking requirements: A signed rental agreement, government-issued ID, and $500 security deposit hold are required within 24 hours of booking. Primary renter must be 25+.

Very well appointed

I have rented numerous cabins over the years and this is by far one of the cleanest and well appointed that I have stayed in, my husband even commented on the quality of the amenities which he typically never does. The owner was so friendly and followed to check uf we needed anything. I cant wait to stay there again.
Response from VrboOwner on 20 May, 2026
Thank you so much! Cleanliness and quality are things I take really seriously, so hearing that from someone who has stayed in a lot of cabins means the world. Hope to host you both again soon!

Cabin was just as pictured. The scenery was beautiful. We stayed at the cabin and relaxed for one whole day then on day two we spent half the day in Pigeon Forge. It’s in a great location where you can feel secluded and just relax the whole trip but there is so much to do if you want to venture out. Tamara was very nice and always available if needed. Check in was easy and she was very detailed w/explaining where everything was and with the checkout process. She gave great recommendations for attractions and dinning. We were very pleased w/our visit to the Tippy Canoe cabin. I’d love to make it back there one day soon!

The Tippy Canoe Cabin was a great place to stay. Quite and in the country, but super close to grocery and services. Beautiful view of the lake from the wrap around deck and the hot tub. A short hop to get into Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.

Gorgeous cabin with gorgeous view!

This was a beautifully decorated cabin spotlessly clean with a huge deck looking over the lake. My husband and I stayed for 6 days and were so sad to leave! The bedrooms were big and comfortable and the living and kitchen area were great! We watched the sunset on the deck every night. It is definitely the most beautiful cabin with the best view in the resort. The hostess was welcoming and accomodating. We will definitely stay again!

Wonderful long weekend stay

The cabin is absolutely beautiful. It was my boyfriend’s and my Christmas gift to each other. Tamara left the Christmas tree and some of the decorations out in honor of that; such a thoughtful act! The cabin is clean and well stocked. It was a very cold weekend so we didn’t try the hot tub. Quiet, private property and we will absolutely stay here again. The owner is so easy to work with and stayed in communication with us. Everything was flawless. We loved our stay. Everything about the rental and checkout was easy peasy.

Perfect family getaway!

Our stay at Tamara’s place was EXACTLY what my family was looking for. She made everything so easy. Communication with her was top notch as she is very personable! After spending a long day doing all the tourist things, we loved coming back to the cabin and being able to relax on the deck, look at the view and the hot tub was an added bonus. The beds were comfy, everything was so clean and it felt like home away from home. Our 13 year old claimed the upstairs loft for himself, and our 6 year old got the whole king size bed to herself as well. There is a grocery store that’s very close by which was super convenient as town can get quite busy. I would absolutely book this, don’t second guess yourself. You won’t regret it!

👋 Meet Your Hosts
We're a family of three from Middle Tennessee who love to travel and explore new places—especially those hidden gems the locals love most! Whether it’s discovering a great new restaurant, hitting the hiking trails, or catching live music, we’re always up for a good adventure.

Some of our favorite activities include:
🎿 Snow skiing
🚵 Mountain biking & hiking
🎶 Music festivals, live concerts & comedy shows

We’ve thoughtfully designed our vacation rentals to reflect the kind of stays we enjoy most—comfortable, clean, well-stocked, and full of local charm. We’re here to make your stay easy and memorable!

Why they chose this property

We purchased this cabin as a special getaway for our family—a place to relax, reconnect, and create lasting memories together. From the moment we stepped onto the deck and saw the breathtaking lake and mountain views, we knew it was the perfect place.

Now, we’re excited to share it with other families and couples looking for the same kind of peaceful escape. We’ve thoughtfully outfitted the cabin with everything you need to feel at home, so you can focus on what matters most—making unforgettable memories with the ones you love.

What makes this property unique

🌟 Why Guests Choose Tippy Canoe
Tippy Canoe Cabin isn’t just another cabin rental. Every detail has been considered to give you a real home base for your trip, not just a place to sleep.

💤 Dual Master Suites (Main Level)
Unlike most cabins where someone draws the short straw on the bedroom, both main-level rooms are true masters. One suite has a private en-suite bathroom. The second suite has a dedicated bathroom with hallway access, shared with the loft. Each room has a premium mattress, quality linens, and makes it a natural fit for two couples or a family that wants everyone to have their own space.

🎮 The Loft “Fun Zone”
The upstairs loft is a favorite with kids and honestly, most adults too. It works as a second living area with a foosball table, classic arcade game system, twin trundle bed, and high-speed fiber Wi-Fi for gaming or streaming.

🌅 Elevated Panoramic Views
The private upper deck sits high on a ridge with sweeping seasonal views of Douglas Lake and the English Mountain range. Morning coffee in the swing chair or an evening in the 6-person hot tub hits differently up here.

✨ Clean and Ready on Arrival
We take cleanliness seriously. The interiors are spotless and the hot tub is professionally sanitized before every stay so you can walk in and start relaxing right away.
