Smoky Mountain Lakeview Lodge | Indoor Pool & Private Dock
Perched high above the sparkling waters of Douglas Lake, this spectacular five-bedroom Smoky Mountain retreat delivers sweeping mountain and lake views, elevated design, and space for up to 14 guests to gather in comfort. Spanning four thoughtfully designed levels, the cabin blends luxury amenities with unforgettable natural surroundings, creating the perfect balance of relaxation and adventure.
From the moment you step inside, soaring ceilings and walls of windows frame panoramic vistas that stretch across the lake and into the Smokies beyond. The open-concept living area is designed for connection, with generous seating and a seamless flow into the fully equipped chef’s kitchen. Whether you’re preparing a casual breakfast before a lake day or hosting a celebratory dinner, the kitchen offers everything needed for effortless entertaining. Step outside to expansive multi-level decks featuring outdoor dining, a Blackstone grill, a Weber gas grill, and inviting lounge areas ideal for sunset cocktails overlooking the water.
Entertainment and wellness are woven into every level of the home. The private indoor heated pool allows for year-round swimming while enjoying lake views through oversized windows. After a swim, unwind in the private sauna or soak in the outdoor hot tub beneath the stars. Evenings can be spent gathered around the fire pit by the water, enjoying karaoke nights, arcade games, a pool table, board games, or friendly family competitions around the cabin’s unique oversized wooden maze.
Five well-appointed bedrooms provide restful retreats for every guest. Three king suites feature private ensuite bathrooms, offering privacy and comfort. A fourth king bedroom has convenient access to a shared bath, while the loft-style bunk room is perfect for younger guests, with twin beds and twin trundles. A queen sofa bed in the main living area offers additional flexibility for larger groups.
Outside, your private dock invites lake adventures during the full-water season. Paddleboards and kayaks are provided, along with a floating mat for lazy afternoons on the water. Guests also enjoy access to community amenities including a beach area, fire pits, an observation deck perfect for photos, and even a charming small petting zoo. The location places you just 30 minutes from Pigeon Forge and Dollywood, and approximately 40 minutes from Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Gatlinburg, making day trips effortless.
Please note that Douglas Lake water levels are seasonally lowered by the Tennessee Valley Authority from mid-September through late April, limiting dock use during that time. Even in the off-season, the indoor heated pool, sauna, and entertainment spaces make this an exceptional mountain getaway year-round. Trailer storage is available off-site, and the nearest public boat launch is approximately 8 miles away in Dandridge.
Whether you’re gathering for a family reunion, celebrating with friends, or simply seeking a luxury escape with unmatched views, this Douglas Lake lodge offers an unforgettable Smoky Mountain experience.
