Fantastic Lake Experience
This home was beautiful and perfectly located on the shore of Douglas Lake. It was an excellent week we won’t forget. The home was fully equipped; the kitchen, patio deck, grill and fire pit were wonderful and we didn’t want to leave. The hosts were lovely and we were so lucky to enjoy their log home. We will definitely be back.

This is the 5 th year our entire family has stayed at this property. We love working with the Giles family and look forward to coming every year. It feels like a home away from home. The large dining room accommodates all of us easily. We only have to drive 5 minutes to the nearest grocery store which is so handy. The boat dock and beach area for swimming are perfect. The back deck and porch area are perfect for sitting and catching up with all our family members. We also rent the Giles other smaller property next door to accommodate all of us, and it works perfectly. They are the only two properties there so it’s perfect seclusion for a large family gathering ( there are 15 of us from age 2-62!). Can’t wait til next year.

Family getaway
We had a fantastic family getaway on Douglas lake. The property is beautiful, quiet and secluded. Our kids loved playing in the warm water and playing games of fetch with the friendly dogs on property. We will be returning again soon!

Great house with a very nice wood burning fireplace. Large patio and fire pit for enjoying the cool evenings. Lots of places to walk and explore while you're there. The kids had fun exploring, fishing, and playing with all the dogs, cat, and horses!.

Fabulous week!
Our family of five had the most relaxing week at Giles Ranch. The house is so unique and staying on lake Douglas was a treat! We were able to rent Randy’s pontoon boat and took full advantage of the kayaks and swimming off the dock. We highly recommend this property, and our host Randy was the absolute best!

Graduation Celebration
Our accommodations in both log homes on Douglas Lake made our Family Celebration memorable. The host was great, making our stay comfortable. The home was spacious and easily accommodated our large group. Lots of outdoor opportunities to fish, hike, boat, swim, and enjoy family time around the large patio.

Property was great for our family of 10. 6 adults and 4 kids felt very comfortable in the home, and could definitely support a few more kids as well. Owner was great in terms of being attentive and responsive before and during our stay. Nothing negative to say about our stay. Option to rent a boat and enjoy the beautiful lake was great. Our next family lake vacation will be at this property.

Amazing Property!
The property and house were amazing! Randy and family were very accommodating and everything was perfect. The location to downtown Daindridge was great for quick trips to grab supplies. The location of the property in relation to the entire lake was perfect as it is just about in the middle of the lake. We will be back.

Our Favorite Spot
This is our family’s fourth time staying at the Giles’ 5 bedroom cabin, and we absolutely love it. We had 6 adults and 3 kids stay very comfortably. There is access to the water for floating and another area with a dock for boating. The large dinner table that can seat 10 people is great for our family meals. Our family brings fencing to wrap around the patio because there are areas where our 16 month old could easily fall. Another recommendation is to bring black out curtains if your little ones need it because there are no blinds and some rooms have skylights. Randy, the owner, is very easy to reach and always so friendly. We have already booked our stay for next year!

Fabulous Family Gathering Place!
Our first VRBO experience and it was perfect. We asked our family to give us one thing they loved about it--here's a sampling: The quiet (but close enough to groceries, etc.). The very well equipped kitchen and dining table big enough for all 11 of us. Morning coffee on the porch with a great view. The porches, deck, and grill. The climbing trees (some are in the house!). Swimming and kayaking in the cove. The mattresses! And the warm, welcoming, laid-back host, so friendly and helpful. And the visiting dogs.
If you rent this (hurry; we're already rebooking for next year), rent the boat too: it makes the dock so usable. Such a great vacation for our clan!

Perfect Location
This is our second year at this property, and we’ve already booked next year! The Giles family is wonderful and accommodating. It’s secluded, has its own boat dock and mini beach area. There’s just enough distance between the house and the lake that we didn’t worry about the two toddlers safety. The home is spacious with whimsical tree house inspired decor. The kitchen is well appointed, and the large attached dining room with a table that seats 12 comfortably is quite a bonus. Can’t wait to return next year 👍🏻

It is not a house but rather an estate.
Well maintained and a lot to do on the property as well as local area. Only caution, there is significant hiking down to dock and back up. I’m a retiree using a cane so I just needed to take my time. Rest of family wasn’t even slowed.

Beautiful lake house escape
This house is absolutely stunning. The property is serene and peaceful. Randy was extremely accommodating. My family and sister’s family (13 people) had plenty of room to spread out and recover from a full day of water activities. Randy was able to answer any questions that we had. All of our kids loved Randy’s dog. We were greeted every morning as we walked down to the boat dock. This was our first visit to Douglas Lake, but not our last.

Ohio guests
This is our 4th time staying at this property. It is well worth the drive from Ohio. One of my all time favorite places to stay. Randy is super helpful and a genuine nice person. Beautiful for hiking, swimming, kayaking, fishing and enjoying all the animals. Dogs, horses, mules and a cat are on property and my family loves them. The house itself is secluded and peaceful. Amazing views of lake Douglas and has a fire pit, smoker and grill. House is always clean and has all the amenities you could wish for. We had a party of 9 ranging in age from 13 to 50 plus and plenty of room for everyone to be comfortable. Can not say enough good things about Randy and this property. Love it.

Annual family vacation
This is our third year of coming to the Giles Ranch for our family vacation, and we already have next year booked ❤️. The property is perfect for us. Plenty of space, well maintained, large dining room for our entire family, beautiful front porch with chairs to relax. The large back patio has the awesome view of the lake. There is just enough land between the house and the lake that we don’t worry about the little kids falling in. The private dock is a bonus and you can rent their pontoon boat. Our family is growing, so we also rented the nearby ‘original’ family home of the Giles which is next door. These are the only two homes on the 20 acre property, so plenty of privacy. A nice sized grocery store is only a 5 minute drive away in the quaint little town of Dandridge. We love it!

Relaxing, fun, everything we needed
Being greeted by sweet dogs was the perfect start to our vacation. The cabin was perfect for our multigenerational family. The grandparents stayed on the first floor while the rest of the adults and kids slept upstairs. The kids loved climbing the inside tree to the loft and our 16 year old enjoyed his private loft space. Randy provided firewood as needed for the firepit and the kayaks were great for a warm fall day. The kids (3, 8, 13, 16) rarely looked at their phones as they had plenty of fun things to do on site. They are already asking to go back. Location is perfect as you are close to town and about 45 minutes to Dollywood area. Perfect way to relax and unwind.

Douglas Lake Luxury Cabin
We stayed at Randy’s cabin this June and had an absolute blast. We have stayed in different cabins and houses on Douglas Lake but this one is the epitome of lake life. The house is great for lots of people and the kids loved the loft and bunk beds. We enjoyed the dining room every night because we could all fit and have conversations with everyone. We rented Randy’s pontoon boat for the week and really appreciate all the extra time he and Wade spent working out the battery issues so we could enjoy our vacation. Our dogs also loved the shallow water at the end of the yard so they could get in and cool off while playing with the kids. The cabin is very close to Dandridge making it very convenient to put our boat in at the public ramp less than a 1/2 mile down the road. We were also able to take advantage of the cabins proximity to Cherokee National Forest to go hiking with the dogs but with the grounds and back porch overlooking a small private bay, there’s plenty to keep you entertained. Our group had a great time and really appreciate Randy’s hospitality the entire time we were there.

オーナーについて
オーナー : Randy Giles
Hello! I am the owner of a company named Hearthstone, which is the premier manufacturer of log and timber frame homes in the country. This house that is available is a flagship model for that company, and it is my family's home for 2 decades. Hosting people in the Vrbo program has been great fun! When we rent one of our two houses, we move to the other one. If we rent them both ... well, we have friends to visit. So the Vrbo program has allowed us to transition towards a smaller place, while keeping our large lake estate. That's one reason that this is a special place for visitors. It's not a rental unit, and you can tell the difference if you visit.
この宿泊施設のオーナーになった理由
There is simply nothing else like it available once you consider the location, the large acreage it sits on, the privacy, the quality of the building and furnishing, and Douglas Lake in the back yard.
この宿泊施設の特徴
40 spectacular acres with only on other home, each with a private docks in separate coves. There is nearly 2 miles of lake frontage that is shared by no other homes except the two on this property. While there is complete peace and privacy, there are also easy and quick drives to many points of interest, mountains, and tourism.
