About this cabin rental

Nestled in Dandridge, this attractive cabin for $512 per night is a great option for your next break. 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.

We loved our stay in this cozy cabin on a beautiful property. The hosts are very easy to communicate with. Our favorite things were the view of the sunset from the back deck and the added bonus of kayaks to use. We would love to come back and stay longer.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The cabin was spotless and well appointed. The view and surroundings were beautiful and the sunsets were spectacular. Chloe and Lily (golden labs) were so sweet and loving and great companions during our stay. We will come back during our next trip to TN.

Every year my girls and I find a place in the Dandridge area to rent for our annual Girls Trip… and this will likely become our go-to place every year! The small cabin was absolutely perfect for the three of us - had everything we needed and the private dock was icing on the cake. The girls loved jumping in and kayaking every evening. Our favorite thing had to be the porch visits from the dogs - Lilly, Chloe, Kira and Shine and one of the cats, Alfie. Randy was incredibly helpful during our check in. During our stay, a severe storm came through with 80 mph winds and knocked power out to the property and the entire Dandridge area. Several trees were down around the cabin and on the driveway. Randy and his team were out there promptly removing the trees. He also came by with flash lights and lanterns and got a generator up and running to ensure we had water. In any other rental this would have been a nightmare situation, but Randy was on top of it. While we were without power for 12ish hours, it was hardly noticeable - we still had plenty of board games to play that came with the property and spent time on the lake. It was a perfect getaway and we can’t wait to come back next year.
