Tippy Canoe Cabin: Lake views & Hot Tub

Perched at the end of a quiet private road, Tippy Canoe Cabin sits high above Douglas Lake with 180° panoramic views of the lake and English Mountain that are genuinely hard to find anywhere else in the area. This is the kind of place where you lose track of time watching the light change over the water.

The wraparound deck is where most guests end up spending half their trip — morning coffee, golden hour, the hot tub after dark with the lake spread out below you. Inside, the cabin sleeps 6 across two private bedrooms and an open loft, with a fully stocked kitchen, electric fireplace, and fiber Wi-Fi throughout.

As part of Douglas Lake Resort, guests also have access to a seasonal pool, a private boat launch, and parking with room for a trailer.

Pigeon Forge is about 25-30 minutes away, Gatlinburg and the national park around 45. But honestly, a lot of guests tell us they barely want to leave.

Booking requirements: A signed rental agreement, government-issued ID, and $500 security deposit hold are required within 24 hours of booking. Primary renter must be 25+.
