    Second time staying here and loved it again. I keep saying I have to stay during the summer to enjoy the lake. As always, a great place to stay. Close enough to Pigeon Forge but far enough to be secluded.

    Beautiful and well maintained property. There’s plenty of room for the nine of us. We loved the view of the lake and the sunsets. The kitchen was fully stocked full of all kinds of things to help us cook. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to visit again.

    Our family vacation to Douglas Lake was absolutely amazing. The host of the house Jason was great to work with, answered any questions or concerns I had very promptly. The house was clean, awesome location and a perfect size for our family of six. We also appreciated that it was dog friendly so we all could be together. We rented a pontoon from H2O water sports very convenient and close to the house. Visited the Bush’s baked bean factory, and took a trip to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. But most of all we spent our time at the house and on the lake, just enjoying being together, fishing, having fires, making lots of family memories. One of our favorite things was seeing all the deer everywhere, anytime of the day. You definitely won’t be disappointed if you stay at Fort Sunsets. Book your next getaway with them.

    This was a beautiful, well kept property near the lake. The home was clean, had plenty of seating for a family of 7, and had plenty of towels and linens, too. As we came in the winter, the lake was quite low, but we saw that as a positive and explored all of the revealed lake bottom features. We even kayaked a bit! We had a great time; Thank you for sharing your home with us!

    My two friends and I enjoyed this very nice and beautifully decorated Lakehouse!! Whenever we needed anything Jason was on top of it and fixed it right away!! The beds were comfortable!! Fully stocked kitchen! TVs worked well!! Very clean!! This is a very beautiful Lakehouse that can sleep 6 adults and 2 small children :) We relaxed and watched movies at night in the living room and cooked meals also. We drove to Pigeon Forge each day because there wasn't much to do in Dandridge TN but there was the Busch's Beans restaurant/museum 10-15 min. away. Their food and gift shop is amazing!! The Lakehouse was 45-50 min. to Sevierville, Pigeon Forge TN. We enjoyed the drive there though, there wasn't a lot of tight curves but, roads were narrow. Our favorite resteraunts were Pinchys, Flavortown, Seasons 101,The Plum Tea House, The Local Goat, and Apple Barn Resteraunts Lunch is better than their breakfast!! A restful stay!! We are grateful!!
