Serene Douglas Lake Villa with Pool: Family Perfect, Near Pigeon Forge

Welcome to Smoky Mountain Villas, where our 6 Bedroom Villa offers an unmatched blend of exquisite elegance and home-like comfort, set against the panoramic backdrop of Douglas Lake's main channel. This sprawling luxury villa, situated on a serene 28-acre estate near the Great Smoky Mountain National Forest, presents an ideal retreat for family and friends with a capacity to comfortably accommodate up to 16 guests.

As you enter through the majestic front door, the stunning floor-to-ceiling windows in the grand living or great room offers a breathtaking view of Douglas Lake, creating an immediate sense of tranquility. Here, the space is anchored by a cozy wood-burning fireplace, surrounded by plush seating, perfect for gathering and making cherished memories. Each component in the villa emphasizes luxurious comfort merged with sophisticated style.

On the main floor, the master suite is an oasis of relaxation featuring a king size bed, a 40" flat screen HD television, and private patio doors that open to the main balcony, offering enchanting lake views.

Our stay at the lodge was perfect. The house is so spacious that our family of 12 had plenty of space. We so enjoyed the free kayaks and other water toys! It is a stunning lake with lots to do close by. Make sure you rent the golf cart as the hill to the house is a tough one to walk.

Perfect get away for multi family vacation. The cabin had plenty of bedrooms for everyone, with each bedroom with thier own private bathroom. Lake is huge, giving everyone plenty of room to do thier boating, tubing, fishing or jet ski's. Boat dock was nice, and could do fishing from the dock.Property also provided kayaks for renters use, which the grandkids enjoyed. Great place and would rent again.

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Lodge! It was beautiful, clean, and the owner was responsive and polite! Plenty of space to get together and eat, enjoy the view, or hangout in the den. Location wise - it’s a bit off the beaten path, but we were still less than an hour drive from most major tourist attractions.

The Lodge

First I want to say WOW. I have stayed at many VRBO units over the years. We select an annual site for our Family reunion late in the fall for the next year. We do a lot of research before we make the final selection. We have to select a house big enough for 6 families and children. I have rarely been disappointed and usually my choices are all close to a perfect match. I can usually judge if the unit is good as soon as I walk in the door. This unit was as close to perfect as you can get. When you walk into the unit, you see that big wall of glass with the balcony looking down on the lake behind- PERFECT. I do not think I even unpacked. I grabbed a glass of wine and sat on the balcony - Just looking at the view. A bathroom in every bedroom also made everyone happy. You could not make it any better. Then add the pool, the lake, the Kayaks and paddleboards. Even the children were happy. To top it off Pigeon Forge was very close. NOTE: At our Family reunions we like to eat together. I am always surprised that a house that can sleep 16 has a dining table for only 10. A minor negative.

Beautiful home and location

This home was just beautiful. There are 12 of us ranging in age from 2 to 65. The golf cart made our trips to the lake and pool easy. The villas on the property were being used as well with folks from Ohio and TX and we all share the dock and pool just fine and we met new friends. Our only negative was that the activities for the kids were further away than the milage leads you to believe because of the winding 2-lane roads. All in all this was a great vacation! Our 10th year of celebrating our summers together.

Lovely Place for Families

The view of Douglas Lake is beautiful. With lake access, dock, a pontoon boat available to rent and kayaks and standing boards to use (we used them all) the family had a blast. The lodge was clean and spacious with a layout that allowed larger gatherings and supported private time. Every bedroom had a private bath. Josh was made himself available to answer questions and supported our stay. The kitchen was not fully equipped for cooking so bring even the basic spices if planning to eat in. They do have dishes, glasses and silverware, knives and pots. The outside gas grill was great! Lovely pool, hot tub, and fire pit on site. Great place to decompress and connect with family, friends and nature.

Fantastic property for large parties

The house is amazing; beautiful wood pretty much everywhere; large reception room with a lovely wood burner; huge kitchen and dining area; comfortable bedrooms with ample linens and towels; topped by a terrific view over Douglas Lake. The management services led by Josh were super responsive and helpful. The only recommendation was that kitchen utensils a and crockery could be updated and added to - we bought (and left) 15 glasses but some more plates, veggie peelers, colanders/sieves, and oven trays would be helpful for catering for large groups as ours was.

Spacious lodge with great view

This log home is spacious and perfectly situated on a hill above the Douglas Lake. The view is spectacular! We loved the layout of the main floor. The kitchen and dining area were spacious for our large family, which included six small to elementary-aged children. The bedrooms were roomy, and the closets in the 2 upstairs bedrooms were so large that they actually could double as bedrooms for babies/small kids. The walk down the hill to the pool and dock was short & a little steep but good exercise. Douglas Lake was a treasure with surprisingly sparse boat traffic. Smoky Mountain Villas provided kayaks, paddle boards, and life jackets on the docket. Our grandkids had a ball using those and just jumping off the dock. Josh was extremely helpful in answering our many questions, getting us connected with boat rental places, and directing us to the proper sites for obtaining fishing licenses. We loved the private and quiet location and would definitely return to this amazing property. My only suggestion would be to update some of the cookware and kitchen utensils.

Family vacation

We had 13 people ranging in age from 2-70. Pros- the house was spacious, clean, and had a beautiful view of the lake. The beds were very comfortable and we liked that we could paddle board, kayak, and swim at the lake. The property manager lent us fishing poles and a tackle box so the kids could fish. The pool was awesome. Plenty of chairs for everyone and the water was warm. They have a nice fire pit and provide firewood. Only one of the other villas was rented so we had the place almost to ourselves. We saw a lot of deer to/ from the house. We went to Dollywood which was about 40 minutes away and a lot of fun. The lake was very peaceful with minimal boaters Cons: we traveled with some older people and they would never have been able to get to the pool or lake without the golf cart. I feel it should go with the property rental and not separate. (The hill to the pool and lake is extremely steep!) You also need to bring your own beach towels (which we were not aware of). The house comes with just basic ammenities- one/ two rolls of toilet paper per bathroom, 2 trash bags etc. I have stayed at other rentals that have you the essentials for the week. There was a lot of debris in the lake. Not sure if this is typical. We rented a boat for the kids to go tubing and it was nerve wracking with all the tree branches and some trash in the lake. The house is also pretty isolated- the closest food store/ Walmart was 20 minutes away. A 5pm check- in is also pretty late. If you are looking for a beautiful house and quality time with the family, it would be a great spot. We had a great time

I admit I was confused about “the lodge”. I thought website was showing the villas. However, it was the best surprise ever. Only criticism would be that there was not a golf cart available for a family member who could not negotiate the steep hills. We did manage fine with our car. We had a great time and would absolutely consider returning.
