Cabin by the lake
Cabin was nice, but bathroom was too small. The lake on that end was dry. We were hoping for pretty view of the water, but that’s nature.

Nice waterfront home
The waterfront aspect was excellent. Close to downtown Dandridge and about a 45 minute drive to Gatlingburg. Nice views of the lake and the mountains in the background. Only complaint would be a small bathroom but it’s manageable.

Nice home with a couple issues to be aware of.
We were looking for a small home for a fishing trip for my son and I. The house was nice for that. House felt clean. Was nice having a private dock to dock the boat at. Check in and out was simple and easy. Couple notes for those looking at the property. The bathroom is small...like very, very small. If you're a larger guy like me, it's quite uncomfortably small. It works, but just something to be aware of beforehand. It's much smaller than the photo even appears to look. There is very little space between the sink, toilet, and tub. If bringing a boat/trailer...you'll want to launch the boat before trying to pull in the driveway. The "circle" driveway is really just a very tight corner up a very steep hill to the side of the house. With a 19' boat, it took quite a bit of finagling to manage to get around the house safely. The driveway enters at an angle downhill, so backing the boat out isn't the most comfortable option either. Launch the boat, then pull the trailer in where you can unhook the trailer and turn it around by hand to pull out when ready would be my advice. Speaking of launching the boat...there are a couple local launches, but would be nice to have directions to them in the property notes as there are some private ones as well nearby that are posted. And getting turned around on those small streets would be a nightmare with a boat/trailer as there is very little room to maneuver. Luckily we ran into a launch we could use. Just having some directions/instructions with the check in notes would keep from a lot of stress. Speaking of having a boat...it would be nice to have a power outlet near the dock for charging the boat battery. You'll need at least 250' of extension cord on hand to reach the nearest outside outlet. Other than those couple things, if you're looking for a little lakeside home with a private dock, then this one will suit fine.

Such a view!
We had such a great time! The location was EXCATLY what we wanted something away from the hustle and bustle of our regular city life. We where able to gather with family and just relax, which is something we haven’t done since 2020 lol The owners where very sweet and helpful there was enough space for us all. The view and atmosphere was incredible, we plan to go back in the summer so we can enjoy the lake/view at its best. With the water being low in the lake we where able to venture out and explore. One of us even found a turtle shell and a beautiful heart shaped rock. 10 put of 10 would stay here again

Relaxing extended weekend
The house is located in a cove and had the water been up the dock would have been usable. They had just drained the lake apparently. But there was a boat launch not to far away for us to put the boat in. The house was clean and cozy. The bed was extremely comfortable! The bathroom is tiny but fine for just the 2 of us. We liked that there were TV's in both bedrooms. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything you would need to cook with and store leftovers. Bring pods for the Keurig coffee machine. The view was great! We had a nice relaxing stay.

Nice and Quiet
Had a nice stay at the property, simple place in a quiet cove of the lake, just what I wanted. The only disappointment was the water level as I couldn’t dock the boat directly on-site as planned, understanding it’s outside the property owners control but would have benefited from earlier notice of it being that low. All in all though it was a great experience for my family!

We spent 5 nights and it was great! Very nice and clean. The location is amazing! We brought kayaks and a jet ski. The personal doc made everything so easy!! Making two teenagers happy is always a struggle but this place was perfect. Yes the comments about a small bathroom are correct but my 6’1” 230 pound lineman was able to shower with not too many complaints. Go outside and enjoy!!! We will be back!!!!

We enjoyed our stay! The children had so much fun! There is a gentle slope to the water with a beach area which is great for the children. The water was perfect for swimming and play! We had everything we needed. The host answered any questions we had and is very nice! We will be coming again very soon. Thank you!!

Quirky Nice
This was our first trip to Douglas Lake. We went to go boating out on the lake. We had gotten there early and cleaning crew was still there. That was not a problem. We were early! We had taken boat down and got right in the water. We used the boat ramp that was in the email upon arrival. The ramp was scetchy. If you could find another one close you might want to do that. We went out on the water for the day. The neighbourhood and neighbors were awful! We weren't for sure what house was ours coming back from the lake and pulled up to the wrong dock. The neighbors went crazy yelling and screaming! We literally just had no idea what house we had rented. When asking the neighbor guy he still was rude! That was unfortunate. The house was small but cute. The queen bedroom did not have a closed door. That was strange and uncomfortable. The second lot for our boat was also scetchy going down the hill. You will want to make sure to have a truck and not too big of a boat. The bathroom was very small but we managed. We are from out of state and just did not have a good experience on the lake. You could tell out of towners were not "welcomed". Overall, the host email was easy to follow. We just wish we had a better atmospheric experience on Douglas.

It was a really cute house and we really enjoyed it. The only thing wrong was there was a hole in two of the windows but they were small and not problematic. Overall the house was so cute and clean.
