Beautiful Lake view, kayaks were a lot of fun (we did manage to use them despite low spring water levels.) Deck being screened in was wonderful. Bathrooms were smaller and tubs could have been cleaner and would've benefitted from no-slip mats. Kitchen was functional, beds were very nice. We really enjoyed our stay.

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.

Great home for Christmas stay
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!
