Reviews praise the friendly, responsive hosts and smooth communication throughout stays. Many highlight well-equipped cabins and outdoor amenities such as a private dock, kayaks, and inviting decks. A recurring caveat is steep stairs inside the cabin and numerous steps down to the dock, which can be challenging for those with mobility concerns. Expect a comfortable retreat with thoughtful hosting.

We loved staying at the cabin. We enjoyed the lake access and peaceful surroundings. The cabin had everything we needed and was spacious enough for our group of fouradults, one teenager and a pup. Great beach access and had kayaks to use during the stay, plus it was a short drive to the Smoky Mountains. We will be back!

We fell in love with this wooded, waterfront property. We enjoyed peaceful mornings on the porch swing and afternoon adventures in the kayaks. Randy was an incredible host and made us feel welcome. The presence of dogs and horses/mules was icing on the cake.

An amazing vacation. The photos are accurate, cozy, clean and comfortable. Our Host was so accommodating and welcoming. Thank you Randy for a wonderful experience. Your pups are excellent greeters and very friendly. They were so gentle with our little chihuahuas. Renting the Tritoon was a must. The lake was just amazing. Coming from MS where the lakes are shallow and muddy we enjoyed the clean emerald green water. We had so much fun and even caught a few fish that added to our last night's dinner. Our only issue is we wish we stayed longer. Soooo relaxing. We will definately recommend your cabin and be back again, but for a longer stay.

This place is special. Our second time to this property and won’t be the last. This place is unique. The grounds, the homes, the privacy, the host. It’s all special and unique. We had 15 people in the two homes and despite some challenging weather we still had a very special and memorable week. We rented the boat and so nice not to have to pick up or return a boat to a seperate location. Owner is very helpful and attentive. Having 40 acres and two coves with 2 docks and a beach area ( no sand bring water shoes) was an experience I have not found anywhere else. I love Douglas lake and Dandridge. And I don’t believe there is a better place to stay on this lake. If you love the outdoors this place has the best outdoor space you will find for rent on Douglas lake. And the home is very well appointed and is very clean and comfortable. A+ for the Host. You have created something very special here.

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

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.

We love this place and the Giles are great to work with. The quiet seclusion and available boat dock are a great bonus. Can’t beat the sunset view from the cozy balcony either!

When we arrived we were greeted by 3 very friendly dogs. The owner Randy arrived soon to introduce himself and stayed to make sure our dogs would get along. We appreciated that as ours is not used to other dogs. The cabin is gorgeous inside and out! It’s very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The setting is quite private even though there’s a house within sight. I loved that the main floor balcony was confined so our pup could be off leash. The view was amazing! You can easily see the lake but have the privacy of trees between you and the lake. It was very nice having the dock to access the lake, and to have use of the kayaks. We would love to come back to this cabin for another vacation.

A lovely stay. The cabin was clean and comfortable. We especially enjoyed the firefly lights in trees at night and taking a nap on the covered porch during a spring rain. It was a welcome respite. The folks in the town of Dandridge were super friendly!!

The property is secluded and beautiful, so peaceful! The kids enjoyed the fishing, kayaking, and swimming. The cabin is rustic and cute, with great amenities. Keep in mind, and it is mentioned, that this property is a bit challenging for anyone with mobility issues. The bathrooms are located on lower and upper level and the main living space is in the middle with steep stairs to either other level. Also the access to the beach is a couple flights of stairs. It wasn’t an issue for my family, except me d/t recent hospitalization, but I was able to enjoy the gorgeous view from either deck. Randy is very responsive and a great host! Definitely recommend this location!!

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.

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.

This tiny cabin is perfect. Just enough private to enjoy the serenity of the lake and beautiful property, but close enough to get to ‘attractions’. Just enough room to not be on top of each other, but close enough to stay connected. Plenty of kitchen items to keep you cooking and coffee making. Towels, paper products, and bedding provided(+++) Bring your own soaps and shower items.. One of the, if not THE best rental we’ve had yet.

The small cabin was clean & had all the necessary items, dishes, linens, etc. The upper level back porch is partially obscured with trees but provided shade & still a nice view of the lake. The stairs in the cabin are a concern for small children, steep incline. No issues with the property, but the owner quickly responded to any questions/help that we needed. We would definitely consider a future visit.

Notes from my daughter-in-law. This truly is a luxury cabin. Very new, but built impeccably. The details are perfect; if you are interested in log cabin architecture you will spend hours just looking at the house. The cabin isn't large, but is perfect for one or two couples or a small family with older kids. Both bedroom suites are beautiful, with a nice living room/communal area on the middle floor. The kitchen is well-stocked, and there is a working grill on the front porch. FYI that the stairs inside the house are pretty steep. There is an outdoor stairway down to the lower level bedroom that is more moderate if you have some mobility or balance issues but still can do stairs. Randy, the owner, came out to introduce himself and show us around the house. I can't speak highly enough of him; he's a true gentleman. My husband and I got very sick with food poisoning while we were staying there (beware the shrimp at Food City!) and were completely laid up. Randy came over to check on us and even went out to get us crackers and drinks to rehydrate. We were completely blown away by his kindness and generosity. I can't recommend this house or Randy as the host highly enough. Truly a 20/10 experience. We can't wait to come back and really enjoy the beautiful dock and surrounding property.

This lake house was the perfect retreat to get away and spend time with loved ones. Days were spent on the lake tubing and kayaking, and just swimming with the kids and dog. In the evenings, plenty of room to make a great home cooked meal and spread out for game night. We use house rentals essentially exclusively for our family vacations. Of the years of doing this, we never had such thoughtful, considerate, and kind hosts as this trip. They were responsive, helpful and made a great impact on the much needed vacation.

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.

This place is special. Our second time to this property and won’t be the last. This place is unique. The grounds, the homes, the privacy, the host. It’s all special and unique. We had 15 people in the two homes and despite some challenging weather we still had a very special and memorable week. We rented the boat and so nice not to have to pick up or return a boat to a seperate location. Owner is very helpful and attentive. Having 40 acres and two coves with 2 docks and a beach area ( no sand bring water shoes) was an experience I have not found anywhere else. I love Douglas lake and Dandridge. And I don’t believe there is a better place to stay on this lake. If you love the outdoors this place has the best outdoor space you will find for rent on Douglas lake. And the home is very well appointed and is very clean and comfortable. A+ for the Host. You have created something very special here.
This place is special. Our second time to this property and won’t be the last. This place is unique. The grounds, the homes, the privacy, the host. It’s all special and unique. We had 15 people in the two homes and despite some challenging weather we still had a very special and memorable week. We rented the boat and so nice not to have to pick up or return a boat to a seperate location. Owner is very helpful and attentive.

I was doubtful that a property could REALLY be ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ , but it’s exactly as described and reviewed. Randy was a Great host and despite the cabin being in close proximity to their main house, we had all the privacy we wanted … except for the 4 legged welcoming crew 😉 Will be back!

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.

Randy was extremely accommodating, very responsive and a pleasure to work with. We will stay again for another fishing tournament I’m sure. Property listing is 100% accurate.

We loved staying at the cabin. We enjoyed the lake access and peaceful surroundings. The cabin had everything we needed and was spacious enough for our group of fouradults, one teenager and a pup. Great beach access and had kayaks to use during the stay, plus it was a short drive to the Smoky Mountains. We will be back!

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!

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.

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.

Great location where you can have a balance of private relaxation and engaging in a variety of activities in the area. Beautiful property including woods and lake front. The cabin is lovely and well appointed - had everything we needed. The property manager was a delight and very easy to work with.

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.

We love this place and the Giles are great to work with. The quiet seclusion and available boat dock are a great bonus. Can’t beat the sunset view from the cozy balcony either!

Location was perfect. Just outside of the hassle of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg but close enough when we wanted to play! We even saw a bear on Dickey road on our way into town one day! Cabin was very cute, clean and right on the water as described. The owners dogs will keep you entertained! If you can't handle stairs then i don't recommend staying here as this is very detailed in the description! I highly recommend this cabin to any lake lover!

Beautiful log cabin in the woods. Enjoyed sitting on the porch taking in the lake view. While my son was fishing a tournament the area had great hiking opportunities for me and my dog. The property had mules and horses and the cutest little Scottie named Higgins. Beds were comfortable and the hosts were wonderful.

We fell in love with this wooded, waterfront property. We enjoyed peaceful mornings on the porch swing and afternoon adventures in the kayaks. Randy was an incredible host and made us feel welcome. The presence of dogs and horses/mules was icing on the cake.

The property is secluded and beautiful, so peaceful! The kids enjoyed the fishing, kayaking, and swimming. The cabin is rustic and cute, with great amenities. Keep in mind, and it is mentioned, that this property is a bit challenging for anyone with mobility issues. The bathrooms are located on lower and upper level and the main living space is in the middle with steep stairs to either other level. Also the access to the beach is a couple flights of stairs. It wasn’t an issue for my family, except me d/t recent hospitalization, but I was able to enjoy the gorgeous view from either deck. Randy is very responsive and a great host! Definitely recommend this location!!
