Best Lakefront Views, Private, Hot Tub, Fire Pit, Dock, Kayaks & Dog Friendly

Welcome to your favorite place on earth with the best sunsets on the lake, now with a brand new fire pit sitting area! Deeply discounted for the colder months, but still a great time to be had. Imagine waking up to coffee on the back deck overlooking the lake, listening to the eagles and watching blue herons fish for their breakfast, or sitting in the front porch rocker to greet the herd of deer quietly grazing in the front yard. Eager to get to all the water fun to be had at the lake? A brand new hardscape extension with built in fire pit, kayak launching area, and seating area is ready for you. This will only add to an incredible hardscape area where you’ll find a selection of kayaks and paddle boards for the adventurous, and a hot tub for the more laid back! Fort Sunsets is the ultimate social distancing spot with some of best fishing on lake! Every season has its beauty on the lake. Come in March and April for the smallmouth and crappie fishing. The lake also hosts the Bassmasters Tournaments which starts a short 10 minutes from the house. Come in Summer to enjoy the lake and outdoors. Hang out on the dock, bring a boat or rent one, paddle the calm cove, or enjoy sitting on one of the 4 deck options. Come in cooler months to enjoy the views and proximity to tons of fun. Enjoy an area with beautiful views while working or studying remotely. Dedicated work station available with high speed fiber optic internet for your working or playing convenience.

Great house
This was a great house for our family vacation. The location on the lake was very nice and the swim dock and kayaks/paddle boards were a great addition. The covered area down by the lake was used in the evenings for relaxing and games and was very nice. We plan on utilizing this home again in the future if available.

Fabulous stay on the lake
We were delighted with the house and its amazing lakefront location. We had planned to go to Pigeon Forge one day, but we were enjoying ourselves too much to leave! The beds were very comfy and the layout offered so many spots to gather as a group. We definitely plan to return next year. Amazing!

Great Thanksgiving Week
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving week at Fort Sunsets. Even with the lower winter water level, there was plenty of lake to enjoy. The house was well stocked with plenty of kitchen items, games, and entertainment for the whole family. We saw deer from the balcony every day and a bald eagle stopped by one afternoon. The whole family enjoyed the week, including our four-legged family member.

Great sunsets… great location away from the pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg chaos. The house and especially the kitchen was well Equipped, we were able to cook a few meals easily. The beds were very comfortable, and we all enjoyed a few movies down in the movie room. Check in was easy and Jason the host was extremely responsive. Oh, and a hot tub overlooking the sunsets and the lake! We would definitely book again.
