Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Douglas Lake

This place was amazing! Peaceful, beautiful surroundings, amazing amenities, and amazing host! I will rebook again :)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Peaceful Country Escape — Perfect for Families My wife, daughter, and I had an incredible stay at this beautiful countryside Airbnb. The home was peaceful, clean, and truly relaxing — exactly what we needed. Waking up in the morning and enjoying the stunning view from the hot tub was unforgettable. Our daughter absolutely loved the farm animals, especially the cows, which made the experience even more special for her. One of our favorite parts was the unique outdoor grain bin setup — the perfect spot to unwind around the fire in the evening. It’s a great mix of rustic charm and comfort. This place is a hidden gem and an ideal retreat if you’re visiting the Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg area. The hosts were absolutely amazing — friendly, responsive, and welcoming. We would recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with all the right touches. We can’t wait to come back!!

Shell Mountain Splash was the perfect place to stay in TN. There are steeper roads getting up to the house, which made it into an adventure, but very drivable still. The house is in a gated community and in a quiet more secluded area which we liked. We rarely saw other cars. Our favorite part was the Mountain View’s off the porches, the pictures don’t do it justice. We basically lived on the porch for the week. It’s situated with woods in the back, very peaceful. There was plenty of space in each common area for our family of 6 (4 adults and 2 kids). The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals, there was plenty of silverware and dishes to go around. The pool was perfect, it seemed bigger than other places we looked at in the area. The temp in the pool room and water in the hot tub was perfect. Beds were very comfortable. Matt checked in on us throughout our stay and was very responsive although we didn’t need anything. We will be returning in the future!

This place was so cute and cozy! Would definitely recommend a stay at one of AnneAlyse’s listings! Would love to come back!

Absolutely loved our first stay with them that we extended our stay with them. Stayed in two different locations. Couldn't have asked for a better host! Our first stay was on the lake. Host recommended different places for us. We had never been in the area. House had enough to entertain us that we only went shopping! Kitchen was amazing. It was just like as if I was home, but better! Second stay was a peaceful camper that had friendly neighbors as well. Camper was close enough to everything but secluded that it matched what we was looking for. Our dogs loved both locations as well. Was not a hassle or headache with the fur babies. To say the least we can not wait to stay again! We were already wanting to book another stay before we even left! Will definitely be booking again.

Just spent 6 days at Jason's place and it was absolutely beautiful and peaceful enjoyed the lake. Spent with my husband's family and brought the dogs who enjoyed swimming! Definitely wld come back.. He also was very responsive to any and all my questions ahead of time and during our stay.

If I could give a 10 star 🌟, I would! Loved the design, the view, the peaceful atmosphere! Everything was provided, even entertainment for our 3 year old grandbaby girl with a basket of toys! We celebrated Thanksgiving, family of 10 accommodated perfectly creating a memorable experience for all! Enjoyed our backyard smores fun by the firepit as well! Displays the thoughtfulness and caring spirit of the hosts! We appreciate you!

Loved our very short stay. Unfortunately our three nights was cut short to one night due to a water issue that no one could have planned for. Katrin was very accommodating and took care of us! We hope to stay there again in the future. The cabin was beautiful and very secluded, but close enough (10 min drive) to the strip of Pigeon Forge.

Our stay at the Smoky Bear Lodge was wonderful. Cabin is in a very convenient location with gas station, taco truck, and dollar general all walking distance. John was also super accommodating with a last minute reservation change. Wifi was super fast and reliable.

Amazing, cozy place, on the country side out away from the city, perfect for a weekend getaway

We were in town for a wedding and traveling 7.5 hours to get there the stay was absolutely amazing! It rained while we were there on Friday but we enjoined sitting on the porch with blankets listening to the rain fall on the tin roof! We enjoyed watching the neighbors horses that would come to the fence to visit and we enjoyed watching the chickens beside the house ( don’t worry they are all quiet as well). We ended up being a party of three traveling with a 14 year old boy who never once said he was bored he spent his time on the swings outside and petting the horses! I highly recommend this place it is close to town, nice quiet location, easy driveway, no steps to climb and peaceful! The House is very clean, beds are comfy even the couch bed sleeps well per the 14 year old. The Host is very friendly and made sure we had absolutely everything that we needed! The home is stocked with all the things we needed and was the perfect size! Thank you for having us! Martha, Natalie, Nathan

Will rent again, so cute!

Tony and Barb's guest apartment was cozy, quiet and pleasant. The apartment was very clean and had everything we needed available to us, although Barb offered to provide anything else we may need. (There were even bagels and spreads in the 'fridge!) The kitchen is small but offers all full-size appliances, even including a dishwasher. All cooking supplies are supplied as well. The apartment was easy to find, and getting to other places we needed to go (grocery store, restaurant) was convenient. The living room and bedroom are comfortable, and an ample-sized screened porch would be a nice place to relax and enjoy the peaceful back yard. All necessary amenities are available including FireTV and WiFi. It would be a comfortable place for an extended stay. It had the quaint feel of staying at grandma's place but with no dust or clutter!

Very clean, had everything we needed, great location. Would definitely return and recommend!

Great place and great hosts. We were just there two nights and it was perfect. Great location for us. Just as described. Easy parking. And super friendly hosts. Quality towels and linens. It’s not brand new but it’s clean, it’s roomy, it’s cute, it has everything we needed, it’s quiet, everything works. I’d definitely stay again!!

We loved staying at Lara’s. Because of rainy weekend, the mountains were especially lush and foggy creating almost magical misty atmosphere. We were able to build a fire every night. Kitchen was perfectly stocked with nice scratch free pots/pans. Lots of nature and little towns to explore nearby. Thank you Lara - we would love to come back!

Overall, a great pick for a couples getaway. Only 40 min from Gatlinburg, and Newport is about a 10-15 minute drive if you need anything from town. The cabin has all the little extra touches that made it nice. Loved the full size refrigerator, the coffee bar and creamers. Lots of towels and clean linen. Loved that there was a separation between the bedroom and the living space, although be careful for your knees/chins when going to bed, it’s close quarters and the corners of the bed a rough, but once you get tucked it it was very comfy and there are lots of pillows which is nice!! The outside area is amazing. Especially loved the rolling creek sound, you can even hear it inside, So therapeutic. There is an area where you can get to the creek and dip your toes, that’s nice. There were snacks provided by host as well!! The hot tub was spectacular, it has a screen cover that is a nice bug deterrence. The enclosed area with a little fire pit is nicely kept. Great overall!!!

If you’re wanting easy access to the touristy spots of Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and Sevierville but like a bit more privacy and quiet, this is the spot for you. Plenty of access to the restaurants, tourist attractions, and hikes. We were able to come back midday for our little one to nap in blessed quiet, and were able to relax in the evenings with just the sound of nature. It was perfect for us, and we intend to make this a repeat spot!

Staying at Lee’s cabin was an absolute dream. Perched atop a mountain with wide open views in every direction, the setting was peaceful and awe-inspiring. The home itself is a gorgeous 70’s modern build, full of character with striking angles, massive windows, and natural light pouring in from every side. It’s the perfect blend of style, comfort, and immersion in nature. Lots of stone, glass, and wood. Lee was a fantastic host—communication was clear, check-in was seamless, and everything about the experience felt easy and welcoming. I found myself wishing I could extend my stay, but I knew snagging more time at a place like this wouldn’t be easy! Truly one of the most memorable stays I’ve had. No complaints at all—just gratitude. I’d come back in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!

My husband and I had a wonderful time. This was one of the most amazing places we ever stayed. The place was even better than we thought it would be. We couldn’t have asked for a better host. They were very responsive and helpful. If you were looking for somewhere to stay with amazing views and an amazing home, this is your place !!!!! All the little touches made such a difference you really thought of everything! Thank you so much for having us !!!! We will be back again!

Great place for our first visit to the Smokey Mountains! The cabin is just as beautiful as the pics! My son LOVED the spa!!

When I say the views are magnificent I am talking like better than the Sky Park in Gatlinburg, which was amazing, but I'm not sure much can beat this place. It's also private and secluded and quiet. Our kids had a blast playing the video games with and without us, which gave us a little date time! It is perfect for anyone really, great setup, comfy beds, but the deck and hot tub just make it with that incredible view!

Beautiful, secluded location. Super cute little cabin, clean and comfortable! Also very close to town and local attractions. We would definitely visit again!

Fantastic place! Everything was very comfortable, clean, and newly updated. The standalone tub was amazing and so relaxing. The hot tub worked perfectly. We also loved the entire property grounds which had different activities, like golf, pickleball, a swimming pool, mini golf, playgrounds for kids, a pond, etc. Would definitely recommend again! Location is about 15-20 minutes to go into town for restaurants and shopping.
