Luxury Log Cabin and 40 acres on Douglas Lake

This is a small, yet stunningly beautiful authentic log home on a 40 acre estate on the shores of Douglas Lake, an ideal location for endless activities! It is the guest house for the estate, and there is a larger main house that is also available for short term rentals. Booked together, these homes make for a completely unique experience and allow room for large groups to be together on the same property. The VRBO reference number for the main house is #1518107 if you would like to check it out as well. Those are the only two homes on the estate. Each property has its own dock, and they are in separate coves of the lake. Check out the Google location function and description for more about the property.

The wonderful feature about this property is that, despite the perfect location, it feels like you are off in a peaceful world by yourself. The cabin is at the end of a peninsula with a half mile driveway away from the nearest road, and is surrounded by 28,000 acre lake.

Literally, there is no other piece of property on this lake to compare in terms of beauty, location, activities, ease of access to interstates, and many attractions - without sacrificing peace, quiet, tranquility, and privacy.

Douglas Lake is a premier destination recreational and fishing lake with over 28,000 acres and more than 500 miles of shore line that spans over 30 miles long across multiple counties. However, Douglas is still quiet, relaxing place to be and provides good fun for all ages!

This home is located less than a mile from Dandridge, a charming, historical town that is credited with being the 2nd oldest town in Tennessee. The Point Marina and Restaurant is roughly a quarter mile away and offers dinner with impeccable views. Just 3 miles away, Exit 417 off of I-40 also offers additional places to eat. We are located about 30-50 minutes to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge tourist attractions or the Great Smoky Mountains, where there is family fun for every type of adventure. Knoxville is 30 miles away and features great restaurants and shopping locations. Asheville, NC, is about 85 miles away if you are looking for a short day trip during your stay. Hot Springs, NC, is about 40 miles away and offers a resort and spa with real hot spring tubs. This home is at a premier location on Douglas Lake with easy access to everything in the region. That is, IF you ever want to leave the property!

On the property, there is a private dock for each of the two homes located in separate coves. A 26' Tri-toon pontoon boat with a 150 hp four-stroke motor is available for rent, and there are kayaks and paddleboats around for free.

We have horses, but they are more suitable for admiring and petting than riding. They are very gentle, but have not been ridden much the past couple years. They love the attention when they're not grazing on the grass around the property. There are also a couple of trails for hiking as well as a campsite on the property.

The cabin itself is 18x24 feet, but there are three floors. The top floor is a master bedroom suite with a queen bed and a private bathroom with a shower, but no tub. The middle floor has a kitchen and dining area on one end, a fireplace in the middle, and a living room on the other side of the fireplace. The living room features two comfortable sofa beds that can sleep 1-2 people each. The ground floor has a queen bed with a private bathroom and an old Victorian-style copper tub.

That arrangement allows for at least 4 people in the two bedrooms, as well as the aforementioned sofa beds in the living room. We've had people have a good time with 5-6 people.

On the exterior, there is a front porch with 2 rocking chairs and a gas grill to enjoy with the family. The back of the cabin features an upper and lower porch, each with adequate seating (chairs, tables, swings) for everyone visiting! A portable outside fireplace is available upon request.

There are many rental log cabins in this area, but this one is noticeable different from the rest due to the immaculate construction, beautiful property, and ideal location. Your visit here will be a very, very different experience from any other rental in this area.

Thanksgiving getaway
We stayed at the little cabin for 4 nights and it was perfect. It was so quaint and welcoming and the fireplace was the perfect touch on those colder nights. The host was awesome to communicate with and was very fast to respond back. I would totally recommend this property to anyone and we can’t wait to return there.

Cabin on the lake
This is the second year in a row we’ve stayed here and it won’t be the last. The cabin is great and the seclusion is wonderful since it’s on a 40 acre privately owned property. Not so secluded as to be inconvenient because the town is less than a couple miles away. An added benefit are the friendly dogs who drop by from time to time. We love this place and it’s probably the easiest rental experience we’ve used on VRBO.

Amazing Cabin, Kind Owner, Lake Access, Gated Property and Location!
This was one of our best holidays. My husband and I traveled with our two Vizslas and could not have been more comfortable and safe. It was so fun for us and our dogs. This is an animal lovers paradise from the boarded horses to the sweet cats and dogs the owners Randy and Allison have. We enjoyed the cabin, swimming in Douglas lake, exploring the local downtown with Tinsel Bible Pharmacy, Saturday farmer’s market and eating BBQ from Smokey restaurant only a few miles away. I can’t imagine a better holiday for families who enjoy being together and love animals. .

10/10 “Just enough— in the BEST way”
This tiny cabin is perfect. Just enough private to enjoy the serenity of the lake and beautiful property, but close enough to get to ‘attractions’. Just enough room to not be on top of each other, but close enough to stay connected. Plenty of kitchen items to keep you cooking and coffee making. Towels, paper products, and bedding provided(+++) Bring your own soaps and shower items.. One of the, if not THE best rental we’ve had yet.

Great getaway location
Loved our stay! There are 77 steps down to the dock and no main floor restroom so make sure you’re ready to go up and down steps. We loved the property and spent all of our time at the dock or back porch. We also loved that we could walk the dogs up to the horses in the property

Unique. Special.
This place is special. Our second time to this property and won’t be the last. This place is unique. The grounds, the homes, the privacy, the host. It’s all special and unique. We had 15 people in the two homes and despite some challenging weather we still had a very special and memorable week. We rented the boat and so nice not to have to pick up or return a boat to a seperate location. Owner is very helpful and attentive. Having 40 acres and two coves with 2 docks and a beach area ( no sand bring water shoes) was an experience I have not found anywhere else. I love Douglas lake and Dandridge. And I don’t believe there is a better place to stay on this lake. If you love the outdoors this place has the best outdoor space you will find for rent on Douglas lake. And the home is very well appointed and is very clean and comfortable. A+ for the Host. You have created something very special here.

Relaxing Lake House with Great Hosts
This lake house was the perfect retreat to get away and spend time with loved ones. Days were spent on the lake tubing and kayaking, and just swimming with the kids and dog. In the evenings, plenty of room to make a great home cooked meal and spread out for game night. We use house rentals essentially exclusively for our family vacations. Of the years of doing this, we never had such thoughtful, considerate, and kind hosts as this trip. They were responsive, helpful and made a great impact on the much needed vacation.

Peaceful retreat
We had a fantastic time on a short get away with friends. The lakefront cabin was quaint, cozy and comfortable. It had everything we needed and more. We spent time on the water in the kayaks and did some fishing. But mostly, we just relaxed in this peaceful retreat. We will be going back to share this wonderful gem with our extended family!

Serenity on Douglas Lake
This log cabin on Douglas Lake was perfect for a long weekend getaway. We thoroughly enjoyed the authenticity of the log cabin, the lake views, the daily visits from the adorable dogs, and the convenience of the places we wanted to visit. Had it been warmer we definitely would have taken advantage of the kayaks. Our communication with Randy was excellent. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

THE place to unwind.
Overall peaceful and great stay. Dogs were awesome and 'Shine' took a huge rock out of the water and carried it up the stairs. Hell I almost didn't make it up! Very steep but leads to the water and free kayaking. Hosts were willing to answer all questions and pleasant. Check in was seamless. Girls loved it. If you want to unwind with a fishing pole while your family seeks adventure elsewhere I recommend this place.

Great Stay at Unique Property
I rented this property based on how picturesque the cabin and setting was on VRBO. My family has been going to Pigeon Forge for ages but it's been several years and my daughters, 21 & 18, are older and less interested in all the tacky tourist stuff. We also wanted to take our dog. Randy's property looked perfect, even if it was 45 minutes from Dollywood. The cabin sits on private property on Douglas Lake. It has its own dock with a couple of kayaks and would be great during the summer. The back porch on the cabin overlooking the lake was the favorite hangout spot for us. Randy, our host, stopped by and I enjoyed visiting with him several times during our stay. We felt more than welcome and he is a very interesting fellow to talk with. There are three floors to this cabin and the stairs are steep so keep that in mind. It is minutes from the town of Dandridge so you can step out to eat, get supplies, etc., though it is a very tiny town. We hope to return during the summer...I can already see myself sipping a cold one on the porch while watching the sun go down on the lake.

Lakeside retreat
This is a well managed comfortable and well designed Appalachian/Cades Cove inspired log cabin. The deck view of the lake through the trees is beautiful and serene. The owner is on site and welcoming. While the cabin sits in a wooded 40 acre site it is only minutes into Dandridge. The labs Lilly and Chloe are welcoming and friendly. Pups Shine and Kira also check on guests but never intrusive. This is a return again cabin. It well earns its 5 stars. For those who need to know there are stairs to the cozy loft bedroom and the downstairs bedroom. The kitchen is thoughtfully equipped.
