Jul 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family vacay We stayed 5 nights at the cabin, but wish we could’ve stayed longer! I’m pretty sure we still didn’t manage to see everything in the place! It was definitely the most unique vacation home we’ve ever rented. Our group of adults and teens came to enjoy the lake and spend time on our boat, and this proved to be a great place to do all of that. The quiet cove and our own dock was perfect for all of us to relax, swim, paddleboard, etc in the calm water. We enjoyed a family day in Pigeon Forge and spent the rest of the time enjoying the lake from our boat, eating at the local marinas while listening to live music, and just relaxing on the porch or strolling through the property! ![Sunrise from the porch ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/22acfa3a-02a9-4253-93c9-ba9342e2ac54-1752446125478.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Calm waters at the dock](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/75b640a6-b24c-4d67-ae7a-bdb20f8f733e-1752446125000.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5cd7ced5-ea01-4403-8983-49c4e8e1f70e-1752446124927.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Back porch where we ate most meals](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3ebbdc4e-6abb-4597-b843-0277e994e42c-1752446195231.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Nikki W.

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. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rebecca S.

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. ##### Rebecca S.

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. ##### Natalie B. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Matthew n. Aug 30, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Are you sure this is the place... Mom's first words as we walked up, no joke. First, the positives: Clean floors/sinks/tubs, great view, interesting history of where the property came from, back patio is lovely to hang out on and great access to the lake. Oh- and the beds were comfortable, just don't unzip the pillow covers (four thick) when you strip the linens... it was disgusting. Downside: after a long day of traveling, basic necessities were not provided. Example: no coffee or shampoo. Each shower had one tiny Motel-8-style soap round and nothing else. The house, while expected to be rustic and cabin-like, has vastly more items and nicknacks packed into every open spot. The photos show antique decor but not to the level that it currently is at, including the old preserved ham hanging in the kitchen. Beware of touching that oily ham bag! Another nice touch are the thrashed bar-b-que tools hanging as decor on the patio, dripping grease and food residue on the ground. Aprons hung as window curtains could be fun, but these were stained and dirty. Many spices are expired. In reality, we have friends who own family cabins like this. While it's a treat to be invited to stay at a friend's old family heirloom-filled cabin, it's not the same when you are paying premium pricing on a vacation. The bottom line is, this is obviously a treasured family cabin likely full of ongoing memories for the family who owns it, but it's not to the basic standard of a vacation rental.

Now in our 40s and 50s, this was something we had never done. She wanted us to come together—to heal, and to build a new relationship as adults, after growing apart since our teenage years. My brother suggested Tennessee, and I agreed, with the understanding that I would choose the environment. A sense of home, of history and heritage, was important to me.Tara’s family home was a dream. A magical place filled with objects that held a wealth of memories. We spent a long weekend there, one that began our journey together again. I’m entirely grateful for this space, which now holds a piece of my own history. Memories were made there—memories I will never be able to replicate.Very sadly, my sister passed unexpectedly just last week.I’m left with enormous thanks and deep gratitude to Tara for welcoming us into her home. That visit was nearly a year ago, and just today, I received a kind review from Tara—after she and her home had been so intensely on my mind. It came as no surprise that this intuitive angel would reach out at just the right moment.In our VRBO communication, before and after the visit, we shared intimate stories of our parallel yet unconnected histories—Tara, having once lived in New York City, where I now live. Her kindness was and remains appreciated, ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e64e7420-f484-4200-86de-8a1eda47abb7-1754367367604.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### MATTHEW P.

We had a great time fishing off the dock and the kids had fun swimming in the lake. We would come back again. ##### Amber S. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Antonieta M.

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. ##### Antonieta M. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carol P.

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. ##### Dave A. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Marie K.

The house was perfect for our family of seven adults. Those who wanted to be tourists were only 20 minutes from Dollywood. Those who wanted to hang out had plenty of options around the property...from seating areas, several porch swings, the back patio and the dock. Tara was helpful in addressing my questions before we arrived. (She somehow even arranged perfect weather for us!!) Didn't need anything once we were there. The kitchen was well stocked and plenty of towels. Water in the cove deep enough for swimming, even though TWA had lowered the levels. Water was 80 degrees. Not so much luck with fishing!! Had a visit every evening from Dixie, who liked to bring us rocks but did not want to fetch a stick!!! Saw a coyote one morning on our way out for an early hike. When the motion sensors went off at night, I was hoping to see a bear, but no luck :) ##### Diane F. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tina L.

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! ##### Julie E. O.

Our stay was absolutely perfect and we loved the cabin so much!! It is truly beautiful and the history of it was so interesting to hear . Tara, our host was there to greet us when we arrived and gave us a tour of the property . She was so kind and made us feel very welcome and at home . We enjoyed the lake , went fishing, kayaking, looked for arrowheads and enjoyed the hot tub and the gorgeous scenery. Loved the outdoor kitchen and grill area . Covered porch was great when it rained, so we could stay outside. Beds were super comfortable and the cabin has a layout that worked extremely well for our party of 9. Everyone had plenty of room and privacy. We had a small mishap with running out of propane and Tara went above and beyond to make it right for us!! Definitely will be back to visit again! ##### Kasey R. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### nancy b. Jul 31, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Summer Magic We were thrilled to stay on a lake for 3 weeks this summer due to the horrible heat throughout the United States. Douglas Lake is clean and quiet and the dock right at the bottom of the 5 acre property is large enough to sit and enjoy the afternoon and swim. The house is wonderful - so many memories have been saved and displayed throughout the house - quirky and fun throughout with a wonderful front porch, back porch, covered porch, outdoor shower, and hot tub. Super quiet as it is about 15 minutes from the main drag in Sevierville. Tons to do with kids in the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area (it was our first time). Tara (owner) was super helpful before and during the visit. Highly recommend! ##### nancy b. Stayed 30 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Louise G.
