About this property

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.

Amazing Cabin

Perfect Spot - exactly what we were hoping to find - awesome cabin with a great view. Close to small town Dandridge. Not too far from Smokey Mountain National Park. Took a day trip to Asheville as well. Super clean and had everything we needed for a great stay!

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.

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

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.

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!

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. .

About the host

Hosted by Randy Giles

Host profile image
Our family has been building and expanding this fabulous property for over 30 years. We have also owned a log home company, which is why these are two of the finest quality log homes you will ever see. The property has been a dreamland for 5 kids of mine as they grew up, and now we are ready to share it with others. I am working towards down sizing. Via vacation renting, we are gradually building it into a business to preserve it for future generations.

Why they chose this property

Unparalleled quality of homes with a perfect location for anyone interested in 40 acres of surrounding private property, Douglas Lake in the back yard, and easy access to interstates and close-by tourist attractions.

What makes this property unique

This property is unique and totally different from the many cabins in this area that have been built as, or converted to, rentals. Those cabins tend to be in difficult access places and often on top of each other. Our cabin was built as home and the quality, location, and comfort is different because of that. It's ideally located, yet on 40 acres of private property that provides both tranquility and many things to do. Or, as many of our guests like to do, you can do nothing but rest and relax.
