About this property

Almost Heaven 2 Lakefront Homes, Sleeps 14, Main Channel Douglas Lake, Smoky's

You know what they say about 2 being better than one. Instead of renting one home on the lake, here is your chance to rent two on one of the flattest, easiest access lots on the main channel of Douglas Lake.

These TWO PET-FRIENDLY LAKE HOMES can be rented by themselves but are now easily found here as one rental called ALMOST HEAVEN for families that need a large space for up to 14 guests.

Seventh Heaven and Next To Heaven are located at the mouth of Muddy Creek and the Main Channel of beautiful Douglas Lake. The large easy access property with many feet of lake frontage has lots of flat land for your recreational needs. It also offers beautiful views of the lake and the Smoky Mountains.

The Outdoor Amenities include:
Flattest lot known for rental on Douglas Lake
Common Area between the Homes
Boat Launch on Property (usable in the Summer when the lake is at recreational levels)
Several shared and private docks
Both homes have their own grill.
Each home has an outdoor hot tub.
Plenty of boat and trailer parking.

This property is approximately 45 minutes from Pigeon Forge and several entrances to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park.

There are several boat rental venues and marinas nearby. In addition, if the launch at the property does not suit your needs at the time of your rental, a year round free launch is available (not far by water) and about 15 minutes by car.

IMPORTANT:

No smoking inside.

PET are allowed. Since VRBO does not give us the option to price per pet at booking. We will need the number of pets and their sizes prior to finalizing the pet costs. The price shown on your invoice initially will be for one pet.

This is a fluctuating lake where levels are controlled by the TN Valley Authority. These properties have year round water frontage. In the off season, the docks and the launch may not be useable but there is always bank fishing and lake views at both homes. If you have any questions about lake levels, please inquire before sending in a reservation request.

This combination of properties that sit on the same location may be the perfect choice for your large group by offering plenty of space inside and out while giving families the chance to have time on their own as well as being together.

These homes run Saturday to Saturday in the summer and sell out every year. Contact us today before its too late!

Amazing property and attentive owner

Afyer the roads to get there and the amazing views you pull up to the property and see the awesome view. One of the cabins (the one i stayed in) is literally feet from the lakefront. Well decorated and furnished with pretty much everything you need except food. Beds and furniture were very comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.

Great place to stay.

The only problem that I can say was the winding road getting to the property. Once we got there everything was really nice. The places were really clean. My son in law enjoys running in the early morning and he saw several deer and one bear. Everyone in my family enjoyed our family enjoyed our stay end would recommend staying here.

Fun week

14 family members in both houses. Worked out perfectly because the “older” people could go to bed and not be disturbed. The kids loved bed swimming and fishing. The owner was very nice and helpful. Highly recommend

Vacation 23

We loved the house right on the lake. It was peaceful and so relaxing. Unfortunately, we didn't realize how far apart the houses are, especially when you have family in both. The neighbor and his wife were very friendly and helpful. The owner was working a lot. The houses needed extea cleaning. There were webs in many locations and the bathroom in the main house was dirty. Besides these couple of things, I honestly loved it there and would rent again.

Not as advetised

The two homes are about a 1/4 of a mile apart. In between lies the owners homes and we woke early Sunday morning to him using heavy equipment to improve his property. The pavillion is advertised as shared by the renters of the vacation home: forget it. The owner commandeers his pavillion as ground zero for him, his family and friends...not the insubordinate guests.

Douglas Lake Retreat

We booked these two homes for a family vacation and it was lovely. We had a wonderful time reconnecting with everyone, got gorgeous photos, and loved the relaxing atmosphere. The owners were so gracious. They let our party use their dock and pavilion and even gave us fresh cucumbers out of their garden! We were close enough to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge to conquer Splash Country and Anakeesta, but there was really no need to leave the lake. There were breathtaking views from both houses. One has a large deck with elevated views of the lake while the other has a wraparound porch offering stunning lakeside views as well as the mountains beyond. There were a few hiccups with our departure, but the positives far outweigh the negatives. :). Lifelong memories were made, for sure.

Host profile image
I have been renting homes on Douglas Lake since 1995. My company is licensed and has a 5 Star Rating. I own the original Smoky Mountain Lake on Douglas. Don't be fooled by any "Adventures" you see out there. That is not my company but, as they say, imitation is the best form of flattery. I look forward to having you as my valued guest. Lynda -Smoky Mountain Lake, LLC

Why they chose this property

I have been renting 7th Heaven and Next To Heaven now for many years, both singularly and as a combo. And, I love when one family or group can enjoy the two great properties together. Next to Heaven gives you the space and the Game Room, while 7th Heaven sits out on a large Flat Yard and offers room for your entire family to have fun together.

What makes this property unique

Flat lot. Easy Access. Main Channel. 6 bedrooms and 4 baths. Pet Friendly. Launch and Multiple Docks. Smoky Mountain Views.
