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.

Fort Sunset is a wonderful retreat, located lakefront in historic Dandridge, TN and 35 minutes drive to Pigeon Forge, 45 minutes to Gatlinburg, and the Great Smoky Mountain National Park.

Large kitchen/dining /den combo opens to the massive screened deck overlooking Douglas Lake as well as both bedrooms having direct access to the screened-in deck.

Great home for Christmas stay

This was a beautiful, well kept property near the lake. The home was clean, had plenty of seating for a family of 7, and had plenty of towels and linens, too. As we came in the winter, the lake was quite low, but we saw that as a positive and explored all of the revealed lake bottom features. We even kayaked a bit! We had a great time; Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Clean/Beautiful Lake House

My two friends and I enjoyed this very nice and beautifully decorated Lakehouse!! Whenever we needed anything Jason was on top of it and fixed it right away!! The beds were comfortable!! Fully stocked kitchen! TVs worked well!! Very clean!! This is a very beautiful Lakehouse that can sleep 6 adults and 2 small children :) We relaxed and watched movies at night in the living room and cooked meals also. We drove to Pigeon Forge each day because there wasn't much to do in Dandridge TN but there was the Busch's Beans restaurant/museum 10-15 min. away. Their food and gift shop is amazing!! The Lakehouse was 45-50 min. to Sevierville, Pigeon Forge TN. We enjoyed the drive there though, there wasn't a lot of tight curves but, roads were narrow. Our favorite resteraunts were Pinchys, Flavortown, Seasons 101,The Plum Tea House, The Local Goat, and Apple Barn Resteraunts Lunch is better than their breakfast!! A restful stay!! We are grateful!!

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.
