The roads leading up to the lakefront cabin are winding and narrow. The last mile of Kerr Road is very narrow with many blind spots, so please travel slowly and carefully. We recommend that only experienced drivers drive to and from the property.

Bring your own boat and dock it at the newly constructed private dock. Note that Douglas Lake is controlled by the Tennessee Valley Authority and typically the lake is lowered from mid September to early spring. Boats will only be allowed to dock when the water is at the optimal level. Please trailer your boats/kayaks/jet skis to the nearest public boat ramp (TWRA Flat Creek Access) located across Providence Rd. It has a single-lane concrete ramp with a small parking space. It is a free ramp, but the ramp is steep. Large boats are not advised to launch here. If you have a large boat, please trailer and launch near Douglas Dam at 1680-1698 Boat Launch Rd, Sevierville, TN 37876.

The Boondocks is about 13 miles from Dollywood (approximately a 30 minute drive with the mountain roads) and approximately 22 miles from Gatlinburg (approximately a 42 minute drive). Smoky Mountain Lakeside Resort is only a few minutes by boat and has public docking for their patrons, and about a 20-minute drive by car (10 miles). There are a few small stores within a few miles and a Food City Grocery Store approximately 9 miles away.

We suggest you grab your groceries on the way in, launch your boat at the public ramp and dock at the Boondocks, then relax in this recently renovated cabin and enjoy the vista! Enjoy the provided canoe and kayaks at your leisure. Please wear life jackets! There are no lifeguards at the lake, so swim, canoe, kayak and boat at your own risk. We ask that you please rinse off kayaks and canoe and place back in the racks once you have enjoyed using them.

Tennessee requires anyone born after 1989 to have a boating license to operate a motorized boat on the water. More information can be obtained here: https://www.tn.gov/content/dam/tn/twra/documents/boating/TN-Boating-Handbook.pdf

A little about Douglas Lake/Reservoir:
Douglas Reservoir provides flood control across the Tennessee Valley. The reservoir stores melted snow and spring rains for release during the dry summer months for power generation and maintenance of navigable water levels on the Tennessee River. Water levels on Douglas Lake can vary 40 to 50 feet from low winter pool to high summer pool. The lake reaches peak pool (which allows for the dock to float) from approximately April through September, though this can vary.

Although built for flood control and power generation, today Douglas Lake is a major recreation destination attracting two million visitors a year. Twelve public boat ramps provide lake access. Fishing, boating, water sports, swimming, and bird watching are popular lake activities. As water levels drop during the summer and fall, shore birds, wading birds, and other waterfowl flock to Douglas Lake to rest and feed along the shoreline's shallow water. Birdwatchers enjoy the migration from late July to early October.

Anglers flock to Douglas Lake for catches of largemouth bass, crappie, bluegill, and catfish (channel, blue, and flathead). Late winter and early spring also provide excellent fishing for sauger, walleye, and white bass when they make their spawning runs to the reservoir's headwaters. Although most game fish sustain a healthy population, occasional stocking of smallmouth bass, white crappie, and sauger supplement their numbers.

A fishing license is required to drop a line in the lake for anyone over the age of 13. You can obtain this license in several ways:
Online: Go Outdoors Tennessee (https://www.gooutdoorstennessee.com/)
Local Agents: Sporting goods stores, hardware stores, and county clerk offices
Online (TWRA App): The TWRA On The Go App can also be used to purchase licenses.

No Smoking and no pets. *** please note that you are in a remote area and WIFI may be sketchy at times. Also, this area is all on well water(ours is also filtered) and water pressure may fluctuate with multiple bathrooms/equipment running.****ALSO please note that lake levels are down from end of September until May! There is a security camera on the garage that captures the front door, garage entry and the hot tub area.
