Douglas Lake Front with Private Dock, Private Pavilion, hot tub, and fire pit!!

I booked this rental for a group of ladies for our annual Christmas trip. We had all visited the area many times, so we had planned to simply relax at the cabin for the entire weekend, and this was a lovely location for that. However, it should be noted that the cabin is not at all isolated; there are neighbors close by. The hot tub alone was the reason enough for the 5 star rating. Even though the weather was very cold, we were able to enjoy the hot tub for both sunrises and sunsets because we were protected from the wind. Perfection.There are plenty of beds, blankets, etc. If I had to find a complaint, it would be that the kitchen is not overly well-stocked. We ordered groceries after arriving, and cooked at the cabin the entire time, so it would be been nice to have more options with cookware, dishes, etc. Some guests might also find the furnishings to be a bit dated as well, but that was not a concern to us, and the cabin was decorated nicely for Christmas, which we enjoyed. Overall, it was a fantastic stay, and we would book again!

Surface clean, but not thoroughly clean. Upstairs shower leaked into downstairs bathroom had to call maintenance man out to repair that as well as the loveseat recliner which is in really bad shape. Blinds missing in the upstairs bathroom. Only half of the hot tub would actually bubble. The lake was drained to the point where all of the docs were on land about 30 feet above water level. Apparently draining the lakes is something that happens annually. It would’ve been nice to know this before booking our stay. When calling for maintenance they promptly answered and were very responsive. All communications were clear and timely. We would not stay in this cabin again.

Cabin was small Could not turn off ceiling fan without light turning off. Linens smell musky. As far as location it was great beautiful views

The cabin has good bones but many small maintenance tasks that would have made the cabin exceptional were left undone. Also, when booking, I inquired about lake water levels for the end of September, specifically the 26th through 29th and was told there was typically water at this location all year. However, the water level was low and the floating dock sat on dry land. To put our boat in, we had to travel to a public ramp in Dandridge, TN. From speaking to locals, the lake is drained on a schedule every year? If that is true, our host should have known too. MAINTENANCE/COMFORT: The shower water temp was kept too low, didn't get the feeling the cabin was cleaned much before our arrival - no smell of a clean environment, shower drain in downstairs bathroom loose, toilet paper holder fell off when putting on a new roll, kitchen sink water low flow, deck worn and in need of cleaning and staining, outdoor furniture in need of cleaning and staining, loose support bar in outdoor table, loose leg on one chair in dining room, surfaces of outdoor furniture dusty and dirty, floating deck in need of clean and stain, some screens torn out, unable to open downstairs windows for fresh air flow, entire cabin in need of a deep clean, didn't use jacuzzi or hot tub, right before arrival, received notification that we were to take 2 hours out of our time to test all in the cabin and report any issues - whoever is hosting this cabin should do this inspection, guests should not be expected to.

We had a great weekend! Would love to stay again.

The location, exterior of the home, and some of the interior were great. Having a pet with me and having to retrieve toys from under furniture, you actually see how a property is cleaned. There was a lot of dust, dirt and food under the furniture. With hardwood floors, it would be easy to move the furniture to give it a quick swipe. Also, the shower in the upstairs bathroom should be replaced. The porcelain tray has an approx 3 inch chip out of it and there is a big black spot and the shower door/panels is completely molded...kind of gross. Other than those two items, the house was great. I wish they hadn't drained the lake yet. I did look into this and understood that this didn't start until Sept but it was already low when we arrived. Might want to highlight this fact other than just note it buried in the print.

We had a great family getaway. The location is beautiful!! Quiet cove with a GORGEOUS VIEW! We loved that it had a dock for Our boat and jet ski. We would love to stay again!!
