The Smoky Mountains is our favorite family vacation destination, the place we feel most at home. After 17 years of vacationing here we decided to build a cabin for our family to share with all of you! We love the peacefulness of Douglas Lake, and the easy access to so many attractions and mountain towns!

Welcome to our Alpine Escape, a cozy cabin on Douglas Lake! Sip your coffee or soak in the hot tub while enjoying serene mountain and lake views. Far enough out to be peaceful yet convenient to Great Smoky Mountains National Park (25 miles), Sevierville (downtown 12 miles), Pigeon Forge (18 miles), Dollywood (15 miles) and Gatlinburg (24 miles)! Our cabin is only 2 miles off of main highway 411, and you can get to many attractions without parkway traffic!
