This is a small, yet stunningly beautiful authentic log home on a 40-acre estate on the shores of Douglas Lake in a primary location. It is the guest house for the estate, and there is a larger main house that is also available for short term rentals. Both booked together make a wonderful vacation! The cabin feels as if you are off in a peaceful world by yourself. It is at the end of a peninsula with a half-mile driveway away from the nearest road and surrounded by a 28,000-acre lake. 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 is a larger home on the property that can be rented separately or with this cabin. The Airbnb property listing number for the larger home is 42382137. As the owner, I make sure that this property provides great experiences for all of my guests. While I will be around the property to tend to any guest needs and ensure the most enjoyable stay possible, I respect privacy and quality family time. Douglas Lake is a premier recreational and fishing lake with over 28,000 acres and 500 miles of shoreline that spans more than 30 miles 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! There are a couple of trails for hiking as well as a campsite on the property. On the property, there is a dock, as well as a pontoon boat that is available for rent for full or half days. Kayaks and a paddleboat are offered for free. There are very friendly, gentle horses that roam the property and love the attention of guests! You would have to inquire whether they will be around during your trip. In addition to the horses, there are 4 dogs (2 yellow labs, 1 Scottish terrier, and 1 boxer) that are all very family and kid friendly. They love to fetch and play in the water, and they will take all the attention they can get! 2 (also friendly) cats round out the list of animals, but they usually roam freely and mind their own business (as most cats do)!
