LAKE FRONT LOG CABIN ON DOUGLAS LAKE IN THE GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS

*****A LAKE AND MOUNTAIN VACATION!*****

The Pioneer Trading Post is located on beautiful Douglas Lake with 600 miles of shoreline, marinas, restaurants, bars, music and mountain vistas.

You have found a Historic Property with character and authenticity that is truly hard to come by. This is not a generic, cooky cutter cabin. Sections of the cabin were built by the Scot- Irish settlers who were early pioneers to the Great Smoky Mountains at the turn of the century and their craftsmanship and building skills have stood the test of time. We have 5 beautifully appointed bedrooms, which sleep 10 comfortably.

THE PIONEER TRADING POST IS A MUSEUM TO OUR APPALACHIAN AND CHEROKEE BLENDED CULTURE
YET WITH ALL THE CONVENIENCES OF MODERN LIVING:
You will find early American chestnut walls and ceilings, a totem pole made by Chief Blue Cloud, vintage oak and heart pine floors, spinning wheels, quilts, church pews on the porch, butter churns, pie safes, cedar chests and claw foot tubs. We also have showers and a jacuzzi.

LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION
Located just 15 minutes from Hwy 66, which is the Gateway to Sevierville, Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and the Great Smoky Mountains. Popular area attractions are a short drive away. Skip the traffic and take the back road to Dollywood or shop until you drop.


THE LAKE!! MARINA RESTAURANTS, BARS, and MUSIC:
During the summer months you can rent a pontoon boat, jet skis, paddle boards and kayaks at one of several local marinas and enjoying the beauty of Douglas Lake and its 600 miles of shoreline.
You can also visit Otter Cove Marina and Cowboys Restuarant and Marina, both have food, cocktail bars, live music and Karaoke.

FISHING:
Douglas Lake's 2025 fishing tournament lineup is full of fun, competition, and incredible prizes. So grab your gear, pack your tackle box.
Or just relax on the dock and enjoy a beer and catch some fish. (Permits at the gas station).

5 BEAUTIFULLY DECORATED BEDROOMS:
Each room has its own special charm and appeal. You will find crispy linens, comfy pillows, country quilts, and rustic, vintage touches for the feel you only get at Granny’s house.

BEDS:
4 Queen beds
1 Full Bed
2 Small twins in the Loft
1 large day bed that sleeps a cozy couple on sleeping porch
1 day bed in the living room (You must request linens for this bed).

4 BATHROOMS:
1 modern two-person shower
2 claw footed tubs with showers
2 outdoor showers

YOU'LL HAVE A 5-ACRE PRIVATE PENINSULA TO YOURSELF!
Parents can relax knowing their kids are always within ear-shot on the 5-acre, gentle sloping knoll, overlooking the lake. Relax on the old porch swing. Beautifully landscaped hillside garden. It's a beautiful haven, where you can truly feel away from it all.

WELL EQUIPPED KITCHEN:
6 burner gas stove
Full range of cookware

LAKE LEVELS: Douglas Lake is a seasonal dam controlled lake. Lake levels vary. TVA (TN Valley Authority) starts releasing water from the dam in the Fall in order to make room for winter storms and snow run-off. TVA starts to lower the water level in the cove after Labor Day. The lake is at it's fullest from early May and late August. The home owners do not control the lake levels or rain accumulation. However, the cabin and its location are beautiful year round. Please check TVA website for more accurate lake Level information. https://www.tva.com/environment/lake-levels

FIRE PIT: We have a lovely fire pit for very small fires. If it is dry due to a lack of rain we must observe fire bans and owners description..

Wonderful Lake Cabin with Plenty of Charm

We had a wonderful time at this property, it is a very unique property with a lot of history and charm that we really enjoyed. There was plenty of privacy with many wonderful areas to explore. The lake access is easy with a nice dock which easily accommodated our jet skis. Tara was very responsive to my questions, and I would definitely recommend this property for anyone looking to have a great time at Douglas Lake.

Peaceful, Wonderful

If you want to step back in time and enjoy a peaceful setting while getting away from it all, this place is for you. Tara has done an awesome job decorating the place - it's like a Cracker Barrel morphed into a log cabin, but done with great tact. All the modern amenities and the furniture /beds are comfortable. Enjoyed the fishing dock, hot tub, and the visits from Dixie the dog and her friends, that was fun. Tara very easy to work with. Highly recommend this place and would come back again no doubt.

Gorgeous, roomy, relaxing stay on the lake

This place has a special place in our hearts; it was our 3rd stay here. We've made so many family memories in the cabin: watching movies, playing games, eating together; and outside: on the deck, in the hot tub, on the lake, in the gorgeous yard. There are many wonderful cabins in the Smokies but none as homey and unique as this one made from log cabins. We will be back, Lord willing!

“Lake front Cabin without a Lake”?? Disappointed!!!

Read carefully because this is a seasonal lake. We were looking for a property by the water and that was the main reason to rent this property for out annual fall family-friend’s retreat, finding out 2 weeks before that the lake was dry and neither we could make a fire pit. Because the complaints, permission to make the fire pit was granted but nothing to do about the lake.

Such a great place!

We took a girls trip to the Pioneer Trading post and could not have asked for a better cabin and location. Everything was perfect from the kitchen to the lake dock to the bedrooms. Every person in our group couldn't help but go on and on about the charm and character inside and out. We had such a great, relaxing time and will definitely be back!

Wonderful family vacation spot

Great cabin. Loved the dock. Was able to rent a boat locally and move in and out of the cove with ease. Even the local rock eating dog kept the kids well entertained. We would have been happier if we had been able to get a handicap family member to the dock to fish. The house was well furnished. Having it on a large property made you feel far away.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us. If you want to get away from everyone this is the best place. There is so much room in this home that you wouldn't even know if someone was out of the bed at the other end of the house. The picture's don't do justice this place is amazing.

Beautiful property with comfortable beds and lake access. We enjoyed the common areas

This home had everything we wanted. Loved the decks and outside spaces. We struggled with the convection oven and never figured it out in either mode. Lots of towels, ceiling fans, washer dryer, loaner cooler, house is set up for all you could need. Comes with a very sweet neighborhood dog that visits everyday.

amazing property!

The property is just beautiful. My husband and I, children and grandchildren had a wonderful week at the cabin. The pictures display it honestly. However, the surrounding towns leading up to the Smokey Mountain National Park were over-developed and commercial. This was the only disappointment. If you are there for the shops and shows you will love the locale.

Family Vacation

We had a wonderful stay. Everything was very relaxing and loved by all. Appreciate that it was stocked with everything we needed! We all felt right at home and enjoyed the love that was definately shown in preparing this vacation rental. If anyone needed a quiet spot you could find several private cozy places. My only comment would be that the houskkeeping completely clean and remove items out of the refrigerator! I was not happy when we opened the door to put our food in it. Otherwise, we will definitely come back. Thank you for caring about your renters opinions.

Amazing unique cabin

We had 3 generations on this trip ages 19 to mid 80s. Everyone had a fantastic time. Rented a boat and was able to pull it right up to the dock. Cook of the family loved the stove! My 6 foot son even slept in the loft. The in laws took lots of wonderful walks around the property. Front yard was perfect for a family corn hole competition. Personally i loved the porch bed! Several nights of playing games as a family and incredible laughs. This cabin took you back in time yes was extremely comfortable and had enough modern touches to make all ages comfortable. The only thing i would recommend is updating the listing here.
