Your eastern Tennessee home away from home is a beautiful two-story home with wall of windows overlooking beautiful Douglas Lake that will comfortably accommodate the entire group with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.

Also on the property for your enjoyment: a private dock, private boat ramp, tri-level deck, and plenty of outdoor spaces for the family to enjoy and make all new memories. The well-stocked double kitchen provides ample space for all your culinary endeavors. Dine indoors at the massive dining table or at one of the 18+ outdoor seats. The game room will delight the whole family and workspace will allow you to continue virtual work or school uninterrupted and all televisions in the home are smart TVs with Hulu live, Disney+, and ESPN. Or - even better - go outside to enjoy the lake, firepit, or disc golf. Hillbilly Hollow also provides kayaks and stand up paddleboards with paddles/oars (and standard life vests) for guests who seek to create their own adventures.

Stay in at your home-away-from-home or plan excursions to explore this stunningly beautiful area. Hillbilly Hollow is located in Sevierville, close to Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, Dollywood, Great Smoky Mountain National Park, and about an hour away from Knoxville and Neyland Stadium (Go Vols!).

This lovely two-story home is nestled in a quiet lakeside cove, surrounded by woods and water, creating a relaxing and serene environment. Grind your beans and enjoy your morning espresso on one of the three (yes, three!) decks while relishing the morning sights and sounds of Douglas Lake. Be sure to look toward the sky, as majestic bald eagles are often seen soaring in the area. Like us, they love Douglas Lake and we're sure you will also!

Large family No problem, double-sized fully stocked kitchen and huge dining table inside or 18+ outdoor seats allows everybody to relax and enjoy meals together. On the main level deck, a three door commercial cooler ensures you will never run out of refrigerator space. (This feature is also the inspiration for the home's name, Hillbilly Hollow; because you can't be a hillbilly without a fridge on the porch.)

Stay up-to-date working from home or virtual learning in the quiet work-space with adjustable height desk. Game room with retro-style arcade table, shuffleboard, poker bar, and board games will provide hours of fun for the whole family. The master suite features an adjustable base king sized bed and the two person jetted tub or dual head shower with body jets is the perfect way to relax and unwind. Watch the day fade away through the picture window or step out onto the balcony to marvel at this slice of heaven, right here on earth.

Although no child will volunteer to sleep with so much fun stuff to do, the twin bedroom (on the main level) is fitted with blackout curtains to help create a relaxing atmosphere for children. Hillbilly Hollow offers for its tiniest guests a pack-n-play with mattress pad as well as a high chair. Save your limited luggage space and leave those at home!

Hillbilly Hollow’s private floating dock has five folding cleats, two jet-ski ports, kayak launch, and gangway that connect to the tri-level deck. You can get from house to boat and back again all day without stepping in water if that is your desire. The floating dock measures 12x24 ft, the decking is made of Ironwood (cooler on your feet in the hot sun). The dock starts to float when the water level at Douglas Lake reaches 986 ft above sea level (990 is considered “full-pool” and water levels typically stay in the low to mid-990’s in the summer season).

Bring your boats or jet skis and don't worry about looking for a public boat ramp to launch when the lake is full. Hillbilly Hollow sports a completely private 10 foot wide boat ramp that provides guests with no-hassle access to water for launching and loading watercraft and there is plenty of parking to unhitch your trailer out of the way during your stay.

Douglas Lake, also known as Douglas Reservoir, is a flood storage reservoir. It helps with the overall water control in the Tennessee Valley. To prepare for the winter, TVA lowers the water level to make room for the runoff from winter storms. In the summer when there is less risk of floods, TVA keeps lake levels higher to support recreation. Around late September, the water level at this property is reduced such that powered watercraft are unable to be taken in/out of the water on the boat ramp located on the property and the dock will be on the ground due to the reduced water levels. Kayaks and paddleboards are available so guests can access the beautiful lake year round at their discretion. When you go fishing at Douglas Lake, a fishing license is required (sorry, I didn't make the rules).

Although the water levels are lowered late September to late-April, there are still plenty of ways to enjoy the outdoors and the lake. While the water is low, take a walk to the end of the point where the terrain looks otherworldly and unique. This is the ideal place to sit and watch the sunset; or you can find the best rocks to practice and perfect the art of skipping stones and pass this simple pleasure to the littles in your family.

Check-in/out process is completely contact-free and the property is accessed with a door code and digital alarm key fob.

Hillbilly Hollow allows pets (dogs only) with the following additional rules. The pet fee is a single fee per stay, not per dog, and Hillbilly Hollow provides the necessary items for fulfilling these requirements for up to two giant breed dogs. If you’re considering bringing furry family members, please read these rules prior to booking as these are the rules/expectations Hillbilly Hollow places for bookings that include pets:

There is a non-negotiable two house-trained pet maximum, no restriction regarding breed or size.

Pets will be supervised. When pets are in unfamiliar environments without their humans, they may become understandably anxious, leading to undesirable behavior. When the humans must leave their pets alone in the home, the pets will be secured in a crate, kennel, or similar container. Pets will not roam the home unsupervised. This applies to all pets, even if your pet is well-trained and not known to display stress behavior such as chewing, drooling, marking, scratching, digging, nervous bladder or bowels, or coat blowing. Hillbilly Hollow provides two crates for our canine guests. All bedrooms in the home are intended for our human guests. Pets will not be shut into bedrooms or bathrooms as a “pet bedroom”.

Pets are not to climb on, walk on, lay, sit, or sleep on furniture. Couches are furniture, dresser drawers and drawers under beds, and the benches that are built into the foot of the beds are furniture. Hillbilly Hollow provides two dog beds for pups to use while they are our guests.

Pet waste will be removed by the pet parent from wherever the pets place their waste on the property. Hillbilly Hollow provides pet waste stations on the property.

Pets will be dry(-ish) indoors. Some pets love to swim and Douglas Lake is a wonderful place for these water loving guests! Wet pets will be toweled off and reasonably dry before re-entering the home.

    This lake house was beautiful and a great place for my family. Everyone loved it. This was probably the best stocked rental we have ever stayed in! I am also still very jealous of the spice cabinet! However, keep in mind the curvy roads which is very time consuming if coming into town and the water level of the lake when you visit (no fault of the owners). Overall, we truly enjoyed the view and the space.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this home. The outdoor space is where we spent most of our time. Because of the severe drought in this area; the lake level is very low and does not reach the dock. We still walked out to meet the water to fish and use the kayaks and paddleboards. Inside, the kitchen has everything you could possibly need. We made all of our meals here. They have so many extra things that you don’t usually find (nugget ice maker, multiple coffee appliances, crockpot, waffle maker, air fryer, Kitchenaid mixer, sticks for roasting marshmallows at the fire pit, and more). They also have a lot of things I usually need to pack like trash bags, aluminum foil, dish soap, and they even had water bottles for us on arrival. It’s about a 15 minute drive from the main highway on very twisty mountain roads to get to the home, so plan ahead to avoid unnecessary trips out. It’s a quick trip from the main highway to Sevierville and Pigeon Forge if you want to venture out; but we spent most of our time enjoying our time together at the home and trying (unsuccessfully) to catch some fish.

    We had a great stay at Hillbilly Hollow. It was pet-friendly and our dogs settled right in. The cabin had everything we needed — well-stocked huge kitchen, comfortable beds, and all the basics covered without having to run out for anything.The stairs are on the steeper side, so just keep that in mind if mobility is a concern, but they were manageable for our group. The real highlight was the firepit — perfect for winding down in the evenings with family. We'd definitely recommend it.

    The property was excellent. More than enough room for our small group. All the included amenities were great. We were sad the water was so low during our trip, so we couldn't enjoy the lake. A few of the appliances were put up or left dirty, I'm sure from previous guest.Contact with the host was a top tier experience. Very informative and helpful. Check-in was very easy with clear and prompt instructions. Probably the easiest check-in I've experienced on VRBO. Would definitely stay here again!

    Very nice house. Perfect location on the lake and getting to the other attractions in the area. House had everything we needed; towels, lake towels, linens, ice machine and fully loaded kitchen. The teens spent most of the time on the lake on the paddle boards or out fishing. Great communication with the owners. We needed some batteries for the tv remotes and they had them delivered to the house that day. We also enjoyed the fire pit several nights. One of the best houses we’ve stayed in!

    The house was perfect! You will never find a kitchen in a rental as stocked as this one! The lake was crystal clear and we had the best time in it. If you are bringing your own boat, I suggest finding a marina to put the boat into the water. The driveway is very steep and the extremely difficult to navigate with a truck and trailer. Sadly, we had to haul it back to a marina to avoid further issues in the driveway. Once you have the boat in the lake, the dock at the house is great! The paddle boards and kayaks were a hit, too!

    We had a wonderful stay at the house. There was plenty of room for all of our family. We loved how kid friendly the house was. We enjoyed the deck and pier. I do feel the house was not very clean. Especially stove, refrigerator and pantry which had open food left in it. I feel the house needs a good deep cleaning along with painting and some updates. Also, we did not like having to put bags of garbage in our cars through out the week. The owners had great communication with us which was very helpful.

    Our family stayed in this house for a week and we were extremely frustrated and disappointed due to an unresolved issue with the hot water. My party of 10 to include a toddler shared a single stand up shower , on the bottom floor of the home, for the week. The hosts deployed maintenance people to the house so there was a constant disruption during our vacation. They never ended up fixing the issue during our stay. At one point the homeowner was in the house with us and did apologize but never introduced or identified himself as the host. Additionally, the lack of cleanliness in the home was also disappointing. The carpeted areas of the master and main floor bedrooms smelled like animal urine and were badly stained. The bathroom and floors on the main floor looked like they had not been cleaned properly prior to our arrival. This was described by the hosts as a mild or minor inconvenience. Their attempts of compensation for the disruption were a bit insulting. There was also no hot water to do laundry as the washer was upstairs Again, the stay was overshadowed by the manner in which the hosts handled the problem with the home during our stay.

    We had a wonderful stay! The house is exactly as pictured and the amenities are as listed. The house is big and comfortable. We were a group of 7 adults and two kids. We didn’t have time to make use of the lake but we did sit outside for campfires and just to enjoy the views. The kids were so entertained with games and tv. We could not complain about anything. Our hosts were so attentive and available. The drive in was long as the house is at the end almost of this community so it’s a little tedious to get out for little things. I just suggest getting groceries or necessary things while you’re out. We would definitely stay here again!
