I usually rent a beach house this time of year to celebrate my birthday with friends. This time I decided to rent a lake house instead. I started researching and settled on this one. I found the Smokey Mountain lake agency and Douglas Lake and fell in love with everything about Seventh Heaven,. and when i arrived i found i was right. what a beautiful home. Sitting out on a point with the mountains in the background and lake all around you. total privacy but the neighbors were wonderful. The owners Ray and Carol could not have been nicer. There were no problems but they still checked on you. Ray arranged a boat ride with a friend for us to tour the lake. Boy, were my friends impressed! House was beautifully done, well equipped and large enough for all of us. But my love was the porch and that is where i spent my time. An eagle visited regularly and the ducks and geese and so many birds!!!! I had brought all of this tourist information so my guests could see the area but other than a store run we never left paradise! It was great that my dog was welcome and that is a definite requirement. As I said, I found this house through Smokey Mountain Lake and they were wonderful. I am a detail person and they never seemed to tire of my communications and questions. I highly recommend them . One of my friends left some items there and one call to the owners resolved it and the items are in the mail. I wish I had imported my pictures so I could share . It is a beautiful place. I hope to see it again someday. I loved having neighbors...
Read moreOur family had a great week at Lake Douglas. We rented Clover and Trillium for our families, the grandkids loved running back and forth between the cabins! The cabins are very simple, squeaky clean, equipped with everything you need. I would recommend bringing any specialty items you may need for cooking (ie bundt pan, cookie sheet). The kitchen knives were terrible, as is true of every vacation rental we have ever stayed in and there were no "kid size" unbreakable drinking cups, but otherwise everything was great. Loved the cove and the lake and management was super easy to work with. Would love to stay again, bring more family and take over the cove...
Read moreWe rented Clover and Trillium for our two families for a week in June. The cabins were simple, nothing fancy but squeaky clean, comfortable and situated on a beautiful Lake Douglas cove. Our four grandkids (12,10, 8, 7) and all the adults swam, canoed and fished in the cove for hours. Lots of hot water for showers, comfortable beds and a big front porch overlooking the cove added to the ease and enjoyment of the week. Management was responsive and very easy to work with, prices were reasonable. Lots of stairs down to the dock, could be an issue for little bitty ones. But hey, all those stairs helped justify dessert! Would certainly stay...
