Angels Cove Retreat..

Review by Family Christmas on 1/1/15 9:51 AM   IP Address: 96.253.99.42

We stayed at Angels Cove in late December and had a terrific time. The cabin was cleaned and ready to go when we arrived. There were more than enough linens and pillow to satisfy everyone’s needs. There was a great supply of pots/pans/Tupperware, and utensils to cook a great meal for 14 people. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. Would be nice to upgrade the TVs but that wasn’t a big deal overall. We had a really great time and were very happy with Angels Cove.

Response: Thank you for much for such a kind review. the Angel cove is a wonderful cabin and we are so glad you enjoyed it.  I hope  you can come to visit with us again.

I was worried about the entry and alarm codes. We entered the cabin with no problems. The cabin was perfect. Exactly what I’d expected. All 5 of us felt at home and hated to leave,

Review: Thank you so much for your wonderful review. Its always nice to read them, So thankful that everything worked well with the alarms etc. Hope you can to visit with us again.

Cabin was as expected from the internet, nothing special but on the water. Would have loved to visit when the water was up, but we were still able to have the boat in the water during October due to the floating dock. Hard to turn around a large truck, much less a boat too in the driveway; there is also a gate at the entrance that was unexpected from the website description; both were manageable though. Make sure you read all the Q&A and information on the website to ensure you bring your own paper products and soaps along with the payment policy. Husband loved the cabin and we had a great vacation visiting all the surrounding areas.

Robert’s Retreat..

Review by Jon & Dana on 10/30/14 7:21 PM   IP Address: 68.62.61.38

My husband and I stayed late in the season at Robert’s Retreat on Douglas Lake (late October). The cabin was clean, well stocked and furnished with comfortable high end furnishings; we felt cozy and very much at home. Our absolute favourite spot to be was on the swinging bed out on the porch. Even though the nighttime lows dipped in to the upper 40’s and low 50’s, we slept out on that bed two of our four nights. We lounged out there in the sun during day as well. We can’t say enough about how truly awesome that porch space alone is! We loved the quaint little kitchen and the ability to prepare our meals together in it. We absolutely loved everything about the area this time of year! The lake was low, but we are not water sports people; we prefer to enjoy the beauty and tranquility from the shore. We enjoyed that we pretty much had the lake to ourselves. We explored the steep banks of the lake where the water had receded for hours. It was quiet and peaceful – just exactly what we needed. We appreciated knowing that tips for the cleaning service are accepted and appreciated. We have stayed places before where we didn’t know if it was acceptable to leave a tip or where a safe place to leave a tip might be. The provided envelope let us know with certainty that it was okay and that if we decided to leave something that it wouldn’t be lost or overlooked. We never felt as though it was expected. Our only minor complaint is the incredibly steep drive to get back down to the cabin. It was hard on our little car. We scraped bottom trying to get back up the incline and even though our car is a manual transmission, we spun relentlessly on the loose gravel. It was not enough to deter us from returning or to ding the overall rating! We do understand the terrain in the mountains is steep and rugged… it was just one area we felt that perhaps a consideration for improvement might be made for future. Debbie handled our reservations and a couple of questions with prompt and courteous responses. We really are quite pleased with our first experience with Lakefront Cabins; we will absolutely be returning to Robert’s Retreat next year.

Response:  Jon and Dana, thank you so much for your wonderful remarks about Roberts Retreat. We love it too. so so glad to hear you will be coming back to visit there next year. This is the first season this home has been a rental and it was rented all season so the owner could not get the driveway paved. She is doing that prior to next season on the steep part so hopefully that will take care of any spinning that you had this year. Again, thank you so much for visiting and looking forward to next year.

 Lovely ..

Reservation was easy.. Had great views of the mountains. Was semi secluded which was really nice. It was great for our “Girls Weekend.” The lakehouse was impeccably clean and nicely decorated. Bed’s were somewhat soft. The only thing if I did not like was the trash issue. They want you to remove trash from premises which I think is totally ridiculous, We left at 7am on Monday to drive home and had to put trash in our car because the trash place did not open till 9 a.m. Also, the dumpster site was closed on Sunday. Luckily, we found a store that let us throw the trash in their dumpster. We had a 9 hour ride home and did not want to have trash in our car that long. That policy is CRAZY!!!

Response: We are so happy you enjoyed Pirates Place and the views. As far as trash goes there is a note in the guests book ASKING if it is convenient as you come and go if you can drop your bag (s) on the way to and from the cabins as there is always dumpsters right along the road on your way. There is also the times that the dumpsters are open in the guests books so you can clearly see that prior to going out the door with it. We have many cabins to clean and we too have to use those same dumpsters. If guests checks out when they are closed on sundays  and guests have not dropped some of their trash thru the week then we too have no where to go with trash. ( lots and lots of trash) We do not only have your one cabins trash but trash for many cabins. This being the problem. We also have no place to put it. Hence, the reason for asking for your help if you don’t mind. We do not tell  you that you have too. Other rentals on the lake charge you per bag that is left at the cabin. We obviously do not do that. We only ask for your help if your willing. Thank you for visiting with us.

upon arriving at Roberts retreat the couple before us had not checked out yet. our family was faced with an unhappy couple who thought they had paid for another night. understand that was there mistake not lakefront property. but we felt like they should have confronted the couple, not let us walk into that situation. no one from the office was there. luckily the couple was nice to us and only angry at the office people. cabin was very nice and clean. well stocked. was told it was easy to get to this cabin. the steep grade was so steep that we could not get our car down there without scraping the whole bottom of car, so we had to walk up the hill every time we left. The trip was o.k. I don’t think we will ever come back to these cabins, and we come once or twice a year to Tennessee.

Response: We called and talked to you mid morning the day of your check in and explained to you that the older couple who were to have checked out , their belongings were still there when housekeeping went to clean. We tried calling and left them messages all day. we left a note at the cabin for them. we drove out there also trying to get them. We obviously could not just sit all day waiting for them. We have apologized to you and gave you a late check out to compensate for the 1 hour delay in getting you in the cabin. You were well aware of the situation many hours prior to your arrival. This is not something we could have prevented and if guests don’t answer phones or are not at the cabin we can’t speak of them of course. Thank you for visiting but again we did and do apologize for your inconvenience but occassionally things do happen that is out of anyones control. I certainly do hope everything is perfect the next time you travel.

Very nice place with excellent views of lake from every room. Very private with gate and surrounded by wall. Nice BBQ location over viewing lake and floating deck which is very nice for fishing. Recommend a pool table rather than a foosball table in the basement and also guide on how to use the TV. Rest are all good I will visit the same cabin next time.

Response: Thank you for visiting Paradise Point. Glad you will be visiting with paradise point again in the future.

Review by GonFshn3 on 10/11/14 7:13 AM   IP Address: 69.176.23.102

Stayed in Country Oasis in the spring and was very pleased with the cabin. However, when we came back in early October, we weren’t as impressed. I don’t know if the cleaning service has changed since then but the cleanliness of the cabin was subpar. My husband got out the broom and swept the entire cabin after he found what appeared to be pubic hair in the bathroom floor. We were sitting on the couch one morning and a roach ran across the floor toward the tv. My husband smashed it with a shoe. There was only one clean dish towel to be found. Apparently the owners have recently purchased a water softener because the water no longer had the sulfurry smell it did in the spring and the water was very soft. However, every time you ran water or flushed the commode there was a loud moaning and growling sound coming from the utility room area, we presumed from the water filter. In addition, the same thing, but worse, happened in the middle of the night, what we presumed was the filter cycling through the cleaning stages. As other reviewers have mentioned, renters pay a cleaning fee so the tip envelope left on the counter was vert tacky, especially with the problems we listed above. Overall, the cabin is in a great location and very private, just need to make a few corrections.

Response: WE are so glad you returned to Country Oasis. Yes the owner has purchased a water system for the house. the sulfur water is gone. Thats what guests ask for . with a water system, yes, it has to run and it has to back flush .  tip,  Most people do tip for persons working in the service industry , this is normal. Our housekkeeping staff as do all others in the industry appreciate it. however if its not something you wanna do then just don’t. No one said you had too .

We really liked the cabin. Everything was well appointed and maintained. Appreciated the great parking area and really loved the steps down to the lake and the floating dock. We were there in October and the water was pretty low, but we had access to the water from the dock. Feel like I gotta make some suggestions so I’ll say it needs WiFi and the Teflon skillet needs replacing. Also, as others have pointed out we paid a cleaning fee so a tip envelope was inappropriate. All around we had a great stay and will probably return.

Response: we are so glad you enjoyed Sunset breeze, it is a wonderful property.  tip,  Most people do tip for persons working in the service industry , this is normal. however if its not something you wanna do then just don’t. No one said you had too .

We loved our stay at Castaway Cay over the Labor Day week-end. It was a beautiful cabin and very large. It does need steps to the water, but owner said he’s working on putting them in.Would have liked to have a few more trash cans. This is the 4th cabin and I think it was our favorite one!

Came down from Washington state for our daughters wedding in Tennessee. Couldn’t have found a better place to stay w/our family & bridal party. Loved the cabin & especially the amenities. Everything went smooth & w/all the women in the house it was extremely nice to have 3 bathrooms! One small glitch as the hot tub didn’t work but the day I called–someone came out & repaired it. Thanks Debbie for the responsiveness. We would definitely use it again if ever back in Tennessee..

 Chapel Cove..

Review by Ashley M. on 9/13/14 11:58 AM   IP Address: 24.158.105.27

My husband and I took a late vacation and decided to find a cabin on Douglas lake as we did last year. We finally decided on Chapel Cove because it offered everything we were looking for and at an affordable price. We took our small dog along and were happy with the cleanliness and the cabin. Since it was late in the season the lake had already dropped more than I expected so the view was good but if we were earlier in the season it would have been better. My husband is an avid bass fisherman so it looked and sounded like a great place for all our needs. The only complaint I have is about the launch. When I read the description it sounded great but the launch was from the bank only. No ramp or concrete to put the boat in or pull out. It was muddy and rocky so pulling the boat out of the water was a mess. It was more of a hassle than he wanted to deal with so that put a damper on his experience. I would suggest the owners invest in a dock or even a concrete slab to make it easier. That being said I do understand the lake had been dropped so maybe in the summer season it may be easier. Overall we had a great and relaxing time which was the point of the entire trip. I would definitely go back to Chapel Cove but during the summer season.

 Good view, minor improvement ..

Review by Lakefront Cottage on 9/3/14 9:39 AM   IP Address: 170.142.177.68

We like the view and the house is good enough size fro 6 people. Extra mattresses and cots were available for use. Provided bath soad (Ivory) for each bathroom- thank you. No extra pillow cases for lots of extra pillows. Lake water was low when we visited so dock was hard to get to which they informed us ahead of time.. Towels and sheets had sour smell but washer and dryer are available however, no detergent to use. Quite a distance to get to the store to buy detergents. We laundered the towels and pillow cases the following day. Bring your own pillow cases, dish soap, laundry detergents. Complete kitchen amenities to use but need to was before us. most are dusty and has dead bugs. Refrigerator has issue with keeping closed – kept opening. We enjoyed our stay – it is a quality time spent with family. This is our 6th year renting from Lakefront Cabins. Can’t get it perfect all the time. Last time we stayed at another cabin during winter – there was no hot water and no one ever came in to fix it after we called multiple times. You make the best out of it and concentrate on the quality time with family.

Review by kydunn on 9/2/14 9:46 AM   IP Address: 96.28.176.107

My family really enjoyed your Ponderosa cabin this past weekend. it was well stocked with linens and kitchen items. We NEVER located a cutting board for the three days we were there. i would suggest placing it out on the counter or people will end up cutting on your counter tops. Views were great, would love to see adirondacks around the fire pit or some sort of chairs. Beds were very comfortable. Cabin was impeccably clean. I would NOT want to arrive at this cabin at night as it is a long winding road to get there. Would absolutely stay their again, really appreciated the Wifi as well!!!!

Review by Hoosier Granny on 9/1/14 12:05 PM   IP Address: 98.222.159.84

We were in TN to attend the wedding of our niece. We stayed at Sunset Breeze. A nice cabin with a great view. The cabin was clean for the most part. There were dirty towels in the washer when we got there. We ended up washing them with some of our clothes which was not a big deal. Just something for the cleaning staff to watch when they close up after cleaning. The cabin amenities were okay. I would suggest to the owners to provide an ironing board. There is an iron but no board or at least we couldn’t find it. I would also recommend providing wifi for customers. It would have been nice to have been able to bring my laptop or tablet. Most places provide this for their patrons now a days. Overall, it was a nice place to stay for a short visit to the Smokies and Douglas Lake.

Response: all our cabins have a list of amenites on each cabin page. Sunset Breeze does not have internet listed.

 Great Trip!..

We had 4 couples stay her for 3 nights and everyone had a great time. The cabin is big enough to give everyone their own space and privacy in their own bedrooms but also cozy enough to have fun together. The deck on the back is a fantastic view and we spent a lot of time out their using the grill. 2 couples went on to spend a great day on the lake and 2 others took a drive into Pigeon Forge. We will be back!!

 Douglas Lake getaway..

Review by Kloster Klan on 8/21/14 9:36 AM   IP Address: 50.172.228.95

We traveled to TN to visit our recently married daughter and son-in-law and stayed in Dream Hideaway on Douglas Lake for a long weekend. We had a lovely time! The cabin was clean and well furnished. The mattresses (except for the pull out couch) were very comfortable! Our favorite part of the cabin was the wrap around porch with a view of the lake/pool/woods. We especially enjoyed time on the swing, rockers, and hot tub on the porch and playing games at the kitchen table. We used the grill to cook dinners, and all appliances in the kitchen worked well. We do have a couple of recommendations. The cabin needs a decent knife set. There were steak knives, but only one large knife which was broken. Also, it would be helpul if the location of sheets, blankets, towels, etc. was listed to avoid searching for them. It would also be nice to have an extra chair or two for the table. The cabin is listed as sleeping six (which it does with a hide-a-bed and air mattress), but there are only four chairs for the table. Those are just a few suggestions, though. Overall, it was a lovely cabin, and we had a wonderful time!

 Great View but that’s all..

Review by Sunset Breeze on 8/20/14 2:32 PM   IP Address: 38.129.239.183

The view was great; however, very dangerous trying to get down to dock. The linens provided were not clean; towels smelled sour. Information on how to use TV and lights were missing. Would not recommend this cabin to anyone. However, would consider returning to the area. Absolutely beautiful location.

Response:  Guests called office at 10 pm , said they could not get tv to work nor lights. We went to the cabin at 10 pm when they called.  they had the imput buttoms on both tvs to dvd not tv. We tried to explain to them on the phone but could not understand what we meant. The kitchen light has a fan kit. the light on the fan kit has a chain to pull to turn on and off, it was off. When they turned the light switch it did not come on . so we pulled the chain and it worked fine. the linens,  were fresh washed of course and I even offered to bring them home and rewash them at this time of night and bring back in the morning. there were others there. They said no.  Dock. There are steps to the dock, with rails.  Both guests were in late 80″s , she was kind he was not at all kind. a mean spirit about him.  so, I will chalk this one up to that. There was no issue at the cabin except with age of guests but we will all be there one day so they did not bother us at all.

Review by gator on 8/9/14 11:50 AM   IP Address: 71.49.40.230

We enjoyed our trip for the most part the house was ok. I was very disappointed in the cleaning service you use, they left the towels in the dryer. The grass hadn’t been mowed. The house on the outside was covered in spider webs. I was also disappointed that the bedrooms didn’t have TV’s. The roof leaks in the upstairs bedroom that has the balcony. One the reasons we chose this house was the pool table, but there was no chalk for the sticks and the table was sitting in a way you couldn’t play on one side. The basement was not set up the way the pictures showed. We do want to come back to Douglas Lake but I don’t care to stay at that house again. I was very disappointed to walk in and find a bottle of wine on the table, not everybody drinks and we had a preacher with us.

Review by Patricia on 7/28/14 10:08 AM   IP Address: 129.71.207.132

This place is just beautiful! Right on the lake with a floating dock. Great hot tub, and swing on back porch. Really nice cabin. It is small but was big enough for the six of us. Had a nice unattached room beside the cabin that had a pool table in it. My kids and I played alot of pool. Only suggestion for that pool table room is that it would be nice if the ceiling fan worked , as it got really hot in there. And they need to get some new pool sticks. The beds were comfy and loved the big couch in the living room. Satellite TV worked great also. Debbie with Lakefront Cabin Rentals was very good to deal with. If we needed anything all we had to do was call her and it was taken care of very quickly. I will definetely be using them again next year to try out a different cabin. This was the best vacation ever!!!!!!

 July 2014 Ponderosa Log Cabin..

Review by Tom on 7/27/14 10:30 PM   IP Address: 74.206.88.115

Sixteen of us stayed at the Ponderosa Log Cabin the last week of July. What a beautiful, well-kept cabin/home. Everything worked out perfect for us. We had no issues including the slope to the lake, the roads to the Cabin, etc. We loved the two refrigerators, washer and dryer. It would be helpful to have a few hooks on the walls of bedrooms for towels and clothes. This was a first total family, lakeside trip, and the children (7) and adults all had a fun-filled and wonderful time.

 Hilltop Hideaway..

Review by Mike on 7/27/14 4:18 AM   IP Address: 137.118.155.202

We had an extremely pleasant visit to Douglas Lake and the home we stayed in had much to do with that. Hilltop Hideaway is beautiful home with wonderful accommodations. there were a couple issues but the Lakefront Cabin staff were quick to remedy the situation and were very friendly. Hilltop Hideaway is a beautiful home and I would recommend it to anyone. I don’t normally give 5 star ratings to anything, or anyone, but I have nothing to complain about so it must be worth the 5 star rating.

 Old Home Place..

Review by Family of 4 on 7/23/14 11:01 AM   IP Address: 66.171.81.136

Old Home Place was a very sweet cabin. I love rustic, old things and this cabin was certainly rustic/old in a good way. The only downside to it was the overall size of the downstairs bedroom, bath and kitchen so that’s why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. The living room/dining area was a nice size, as was the upstairs bedroom. The back porch was huge and very nice place to relax, the grill was nice and the table/chairs was used a lot during our stay. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to use the hot tub because the weather was just too hot for it. I loved all the shade trees surrounding the cabin because it was very hot during our visit. I also was pleased with easy access to the lake since the backyard gradually sloped down to it. It wasn’t such a hassle to carry things to the dock or to be able to float around in the water. My son absolutely loved the canoe (that was the highlight of his stay). The fishing dock was adequate and the area was very peaceful and quiet …. loved our visit, just wish we could’ve afforded to stay a little longer.

The view was awesome! Lake was awesome! Cabin was awesome! Vaction is about over and I pack up, load the boats, put everything in the truck, I’m ready to go! Ohh, wait I have to take out the trash, wash the dishes, strip the bed sheets off and lay them beside the washing machine. Oh and I need to tip the maid that I have already paid to clean the cabin… -1 star for that crap. Everything else is perfect, so I think a 4 star rating is fair. Thanks guys for the fun weekend!

 Pirates Place..

Review by Gallagher on 7/3/14 12:09 PM   IP Address: 162.211.54.179

Our vacation at Pirates Place was very relaxing and enjoyable. The home was lovely and the lake was great. It was a fairly serious (steep) hike to get to the lake, but the availability of the Tracker to use to get there and back came in handy for us “older folks”. We were vacationing with our 5 children (4 teenagers) and they enjoyed the private dock for swimming and fishing. The water in the home does have a strong smell of sulfur (eggs) but we got used to it. It was very clean and the kitchen was well supplied. Decorating was pleasant. Debbie was very helpful for any issue or question that came up.

 The Cabin near the Lake..

Review by JanE on 7/3/14 10:47 AM   IP Address: 50.142.49.77

First, let me say that we had a good time at Lazy Bear Cabin, and it is typical of cabins we have stayed in previously. It was pretty well-appointed, but the carpet in the living area really needs to be replaced. I didn’t much like the BEAR SKIN and other hides displayed on the wall, but that’s my taste. The decorative plates over the outlets prevented us from plugging in cell-phone chargers. The bed was extremely comfortable, and plenty of space in the bedroom and bath. The second bedroom was a little small, but overall, it was a comfortable space. Having said that, I feel that there were some things that could use some work. There are no lights over the bathroom mirror in the second bedroom downstairs. It was very dark in there. We had trouble getting the DirectTV to come on, and when I called for help, I was told she couldn’t get helpf for me for 3 hours, and I would have to use the house phone when I called DirectTV. The house phone was a wall decoration only; no dial tone AT ALL. So you will need your own cell phones if you stay here. The water tastes awful. Be sure to take plenty of drinking water. We were also a little creeped out by the security cameras all over the cabin. I understand the need for security services (I saw ADT signs on most of the cabins in the neighborhood), but there was a camera on the window in the downstairs bedroom, and I’m not exactly sure why that was needed. There was a camera on the side by the road, and a camera on each doorway. But the camera on the bedroom window was on the deck side where there was already a camera on the door. Also an interior camera on the window in the living area. The parking situation was not good. We were able to park two vehicles at the edge of the road beside the cabin, but there was no place to park off the road. All the cabins in this complex were in the same situation. Kind of dicey driving when some cabins had multiple vehicles with BOATS parked half in the road. Also…the cabin was clean, but I’m a little offended at the tip envelope left by the coffee pot when I’m asked to strip the beds, wash the dishes and put them away, take the trash out…etc. That’s after we paid a cleaning fee. Just seems to be a little over-much to ask for a tip after we pay the salary and then are asked to clean the cabin before we leave.

 Nice vacation..

Review by Chapel Cove on 6/30/14 8:20 PM   IP Address: 70.193.133.141

Really liked the cabin and the gentle slope down to the water. It was a little hard getting out of the water on the muddy bank after swimming. Noticed some upkeep had been done on the outside when we were elsewhere. The only odd thing was that there were only two forks and a bunch of plastic ones. Would definitely stay there again.

 Owls Roost..

Review by Ken J on 6/30/14 7:42 AM   IP Address: 74.96.220.34

Overall Owls Roost was very nice. House was very clean, well appointed and everything worked. Screened in porch was awesome, decent view of the lake. Only drawbacks were (1) every time any water was used, in the closet in the downstairs bedroom, there was some kind of pump that made a noise that would wake the dead, and ran as long as the water did, (2) ad stated a boat dock, there was one there, but was in extremely poor condition such that it was a safety hazard. The area around it is soft enough you can beach your boat, just watch out for the sunken axle, it is marked with a white buoy. Simply because of these 2 issues I would not stay there again. We did have a good time with our kids and grandkids.

Review by family from WV on 6/14/14 10:38 AM   IP Address: 98.157.81.176

The cabin was very clean and well maintained. The beds were comfortable, but squeaky. The covered dock was very nice, but there are a lot of steps down to it. We caught a couple of nice sized fish and several bluegill. The gate that you have to open and close every time you go in and out is inconvenient.

The owners do a nice job of making the cabin comfortable and it was perfect for our family of 6. However, there are a few things you MAY WANT TO KNOW before reserving this particular cabin: #1-the walkway from the cabin to the lake is rather steep and not for everyone. It was a difficult trek for some of us and we found ourselves not down at the lake and fishing nearly as much as we had planned because of the steepness of the path. #2-the hot tub never reached a desired temperature. Even after following the specific instructions in the guide, it took a day to increase each degree in temperature. #3-the water pressure was very low and it took so long to fill the jacuzzi tub in the master bath, that we could barely get the water high enough to run the jets before we ran out of hot water. #4-the linens were of the lowest quality possible-sheets, towels, & pillows. #5-you are asked to take your own trash to the community dumpster, run the dishwasher, strip the bedding, and return the cabin to it’s clean condition before departing. When we arrived, the dishwasher was full of dishes and wet towels were still sitting the the washer. The cleaning service did however, leave a tip envelope. We felt, considering the amount we paid for a week at the cabin, this was asking a lot of the patrons. I would love to go back, but we will try a different cabin and read more reviews next time.

 Ponderosa Cabin..

Review by Hollensworth on 6/9/14 10:36 AM   IP Address: 66.76.207.136 We had a wonderful vacation on Douglas Lake at the Ponderosa Cabin. It was a large house with plenty of room however the upstairs (where theres 5 bedrooms needs air conditioning BADLY….The downstairs 2 bedrooms and the living area was always cold and the upstairs sleeping was not comfortable. That is the only negative thing we experience. It was close to the water and had easy access to the water and launching our boat. It was a little hard to get to by road (in the dark it would make you car sick) however I know that’s not something that can be fixed. BEAUTIFUL VIEWS of the mountains and water. The house was clean and very nice.

Review by From Gallatin, TN on 6/3/14 11:50 AM   IP Address: 50.243.119.161 We loved this little cabin!! The view was wonderful and more than we expected. Eating our breakfast and dinner on the deck with the view of the lake was so fun. The cabin was comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped! With the tip of another reviewer we brought our on water for cooking and drinking and that proved to be a big advantage…don’t forget the water!! Not great water was a minor thing….we would definitely consider this place again on our next trip! Thanks Debbie!

 Great Vacation..

Review by Cricket Lane on 6/3/14 9:06 AM   IP Address: 72.77.24.10

We had a wonderful 5 day stay at Cricket Lane. The cabin is EXACTLY as it looks in the pictures. It was beautiful, clean and well kept. Plenty of extras were available upon arrival such as soaps, toilet paper, etc. Lots of spices/seasonings in the kitchen, and a well stocked supply of pots, pans, baking supplies, and utensils. Had to replace several light bulbs in the kitchen and dining area, but they did have them there. Lighting is not as bright as I would prefer in the kitchen. The supply of wine and drinking glasses is getting low. Hot Tub was wonderful, screened porch was awesome, however the very bottom is not covered with screen, therefore, mosquito’s still find their way in. There is also a hole in the screen behind the grill from raccoon’s. They were quite a nuisance at night – walked out to the cooler several times to find them on the back porch. They also try their darnedest to get into tin trash cans that are tied down. Definitely need to try to get rid of them. The Mule is a necessity to get to the lake. Hill is extremely steep! Did not find much use for the gazebo, bugs were bad and just too inconvenient. A fire pit up near the cabin would be awesome!! Very nice area to visit with lots to do in the surrounding towns – something for everyone!

 Country Oasis..

Review by Country Oasis on 5/10/14 9:26 AM   IP Address: 40.136.204.103

We had a wonderful 3 night stay the cabin was clean. Very peaceful and relaxing. The fishing was great. Since the water levels were up we were able to bring our own boat. Access to our own boat launch was great, but having a few visitors at the boat launch made us uneasy about leaving our boat tied to the dock. The over all experience was nice, I have recommended this cabin to many others. The only thing I would recommend be changed is the cleaning ladies tip envelope. If we have to “completely clean” the kitchen sweep off porches, put all the laundry in the laundry room for her take off our own trash and the list goes on, she shouldn’t have much left to do. We did not mind doing these things but seeing the envelope left on the counter was unnecessary. Looking forward to booking again in the fall.

 Clean and fair value..

Review by Dakota on 5/10/14 7:01 AM   IP Address: 68.52.134.95

We stayed for three nights at Lakefront Cottage. It was clean and reasonably well maintained. A little extra diligence to things like chirping smoke detectors (replace the batteries!) and pest elimination services would enhance this hideaway. Nice web presence made it easy to deal with regarding easy and convenient method of access and payment. All in all, a fair value for the price. Not five stars, but about what we expected for a country lakeside rental.

Cabin was great and will deff be back but the boat launch and marina where awful. had to drive 16 miles to a nice marina on the dam.

Happy Customer.. Review by V ery satisfied on 4/21/14 7:33 PM   IP Address: 66.191.227.200 Our stay at Castaway Cove was excellent! This was the best lakefront place I have ever stayed in.  The views were spectacular! It was literally in a cove and even with extremely low water levels, we were very satisfied with the views. It was so peacefully quiet.  Only nature sounds! We were still able to sit close to the lake with a blanket even with the drought and low water levels.  The fishing was great! Huge catfish!  Best time was around 6:30 to 7:00 pm.  Will definitely visit again!  Only drawback was no dock but If not mistaken, we were the first ones to ever stay in this particular cabin so…..that was kind of a neat trade off.  I’m sure the dock will be there the next time we go back and we will definitely be back!  Oh, and we got a little confused by directions given by lakefront cabins (not to say it was their fault). May be easier to say….pass food city and turn right on Gay Street (92 S) go over green bridge, etc… Great friendly place.  The local places are really great too with friendly people.  The scenery can’t be beat either!  The cabin had plenty of decking and a lot of room with beautiful decor!  Hard to leave!  Loved everything about it! Good for kids too. Response” Thank you for suce a nice review of Castaway Cove. Yes, it is so nice there and the owner does now have a dock so when you come back you will ceainly have one. Looking forward to your next visit.   The name says it all………. Review by Country Oasis on 4/21/14 5:08 AM   IP Address: 74.214.183.223 We absolutely loved our stay at Country Oasis!  The cabin was extremely clean, neat, and tidy and was well stocked with basic necessities. The location is superb. Even though the dock wasn’t floating yet because the water level remained low, we were still able to launch our pontoon at the gravel ramp next to the cabin. The porch swing was wonderful and a great place to sit and relax after a long day on the lake. We are already planning a return trip later in the summer. You can’t go wrong with Country Oasis! RESPONSE:  We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Country Oasis. Looking forward to hearing from your again soon. Robert’s Retreat.. Review by Al and Donna on 4/9/14 6:08 PM   IP Address: 74.245.141.31 We had a wonderful time. Relaxing, cozy and a  great value.  If you know anything about mountain lake properties, its common sense that there are steep grades down to most lake docks but thats part of the charm!  We had first rate service from the rental and homeowner also. Very caring people!!!!!  Our grandaughters had a blast skipping stones and walking the shoreline.  We found the cabin clean and neat, well stocked with supplies.  I would use this company again. Thanks for a lovely week Response: we are so glad you enjoyed Roberts Retreat, but then everyone does.  Hope to have you visit again soon.   Beautiful home.. Review by Fun check on 4/6/14 7:43 PM   IP Address: 70.194.0.191

Amazing home! We had the best time at the home on the hill! We went down to the water and caught a ton of crappie! The house was super clean and the kids loved the hot tub. We had the best time.

Response: Thank you so much for your review. We sure do appreciate them Can’t wait til you come visit with us again. Thank you again

Angel cove..

Review by Dominique on 1/3/14 11:54 AM   IP Address: 162.194.140.138

Our family had a wonderful time visiting Tennessee and staying in angel cove. The cabin was more than we could have asked for. It was clean and provided all the essentials of home. We have family in the lake area and have stayed in other cabin rentals from different companies. Never again will we use any other rental than lakefrontcabins.com. We can’t wait to stay in angel cove again!

Response:  Thank you so much for the wonderful compliment for us and the owners of Angle Cove. We are so happy you found us and will continue to stay with us instead of prior homes and companies. We try really had to make our guests happy and its such a Blessing to hear from guests that we have done so. See you again soon.

Review by Hilltop Hideaway on 1/2/14 6:13 PM   IP Address: 71.80.81.215

Just wanted to thank you again for helping with the cabin reservation. We had an amazing time and the cabin was perfect! Take care and happy new year!

Response: Thank you so much for your comments. We are so happy and hope to see you and your family staying with us and Hilltop Hideaway again soon. Have a happy New Year also.

Wonderful stay..

Review by Angels Cove on 12/9/13 7:22 PM   IP Address: 74.42.160.122

This cabin offers a great view and it is spacious enough you have room to spread out and everyone has their space yet you can come together for a great time. The home was clean and comfortable when we arrived. It offers plenty of room for family time. We had a great time playing games and enjoying each others company. We have rented other homes that advertised room for 13 only to arrive and find tiny bedrooms and not much living space. The staff at Lakefront Cabins are so friendly and helpful especially Debbie who was always willing to go the extra mile to help. This company and this home are definitely worth the money.

Response: Thank you so much for your kind review. Our homes are nice and kept up really well. We try hard to please our guests and so happy you found everything to be enjoyable for you. I hope you and your family come to visit with us again soon.

Fun Check

Response: Thank you so much for your kind words. We try really hard to make sure our guests have a wonderful experience and so appreciate you telling us that Fun Check and Lakefront Cabins has met your expectations. Hope to see you again soon. Funcheck..

Review by Lisa on 8/14/13 2:52 PM   IP Address: 108.49.28.224

FunCheck is a beautiful cabin with nice furniture, good kitchen supplies, comfortable beds, good towels and an amazing view. The road leading to the cabin is a very windy, hilly road with some steep drop offs at the edge. The road was a little scary to me, but my husband drove and we did not have any problems. We did not use the lakefront area, so can not really comment on that except that it did look steep to get down there. We mainly rented for the view and the house. Thought you should know that dishes were left in the dishwasher and towels in the dryer when we arrived. Not a problem for us, just folded the towels and washed the dishes since wasn’t sure if they had been cleaned. We enjoyed our stay. It was very peaceful and quiet and we loved to look at the lake and the mountains. Rating a 4 star only because of lake access, house and view are definitely a 5 star.

Response: Lisa, Thank you for much for your comments. We love Fun Check too. Its fabulous. You have to keep in mind that we in the East Tennesse part of the Smoky Mountains so we are not flat land. You can Drive your vehicle down to the dock area instead of walking if you chose. We hope you will come to visit with us again and if not Fun Check them another home that is a little easier to asscess the water. See you soon!

Amazing..

Review by Michael on 8/12/13 8:32 AM   IP Address: 173.165.220.173

Absolutely great place to stay. We were more than impressed with the cabin when we arrived. The pictures on the website do not do any justice to the place. The lake is perfect for watersports or just relaxing. We had 11 people staying at the cabin and we had plenty of room. Every evening, we spent our time relaxing in the gazebo. By far, the gazebo is the greatest feature of the place. The only drawback of the cabin is that there is no wi-fi. But that is just being picky. I will recommend to anyone to visit the area and stay at this cabin. Thank you!

Response: Thank you for your wonderful comments on Paradise Point. It is a great property and we love it also. So glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you stay there again soon.

Good Stay..

Review by Sweet Escape on 8/5/13 9:37 AM   IP Address: 208.17.71.36

A great place to stay my family and I had a wonderful time and enjoyed the lake, swimming, fishing, kayaking. Definately we would stay again. The peacefulness and privacy was an added bonus.

Response: Thank you for your nice comments. WE hope to see you visiting with Sweet escape again soon.

Country Oasis..

Review by Charles on 8/1/13 9:09 AM   IP Address: 66.171.81.136

Beautiful, spacious cabin. It was very secluded and quiet. I was pleased that it smelled and looked like it had just been cleaned when we arrived. Loved the private fishing dock and the turtles were fun to watch and feed. I didn’t like that there was public access to the lake so close to the cabin/dock since I really enjoy privacy, but we had no problem with that during our stay. The sulphur smell of the water is very apparent, but really wasn’t a huge deal to me, we kept bottled drinking water. The cost was very competitive with other rentals that were not even on the lake, so I feel that it was a good deal. We were close enough to Sevierville and Pigeon Forge that it wasn’t a hassle to drive to eat or take in a show, but it was so nice to get out of the traffic and crowds and come back to that quiet cabin (which is where we spent most of our time). We rented a boat for a few hours so we could see more of the lake and it was absolutely beautiful! We have two teenagers who didn’t once complain about not having Internet! So that says a lot to me!

Response: Thank you so much for your wonderful compliments. We love Country Oasis too. WE all hope you come back to visit too with you family.

Nice Cabin..

Review by Ponderosa on 7/30/13 9:13 AM   IP Address: 184.18.114.10

We stayed at the Ponderosa for a family reunion from 7/20/13 to 7/27/13. This is the third time we have stayed at a cabin on Douglas Lake. We had family in from New Jersey, Florida, Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio. The cabin was very large and clean. It also had a very large assortment of dishes and cooking utensils. The yard was large and very scenic. We had a photographer come out to the cabin to take family pictures. I was very pleased with the service we received from Debbie and her staff at Lakefront Cabins. The only negatives about the place was the road to the cabin and the access to the dock. The road to the cabin(Parrot Chapel Road) is without a doubt, the worst road I have ever driven on. The road condition is ok, but it has more twists and turns than you can imagine. It is approximately 3.5 miles long, but will take you at least 12 minutes to drive it. I know this is out of Lakefront Cabins control, but I wanted to make mention of it because we had over half of our party get car sick when traveling on this road. If you plan on any activities in Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg, make sure you bring lots of Dramamine. The other issue was getting down to the dock. The hillside is fairly steep, and then there is sharp rocks and slick clay at the bottom. It was fine for most of our party, but my parents are older(77 & 74) and weren’t able to get down there to go on a pontoon ride. Again, I know there is no way to control this with fluctuating water levels, but I just wanted to make mention it for any other “seniors”. Overall this is a very nice cabin, but I think I would rent a different one next time because of the roads.

Response: Thank you so much for your nice comments about Ponderosa. It is a wonderful property. It is windy out on the roads to the lake area and if your not use to our East Tennesse Roads sometimes it is a bit for you. Next time we will work on the option of other cabins that is not on a road as long or windy as Ponderosa. So glad you will be calling us back for another stay. Talk to you soon.

Paradise Point..

Review by Rick on 7/7/13 9:04 AM   IP Address: 74.132.136.13

Paradise Point has been our family’s choice two out of three years. Eleven family members shared the large home and had a very enjoyable week. The home was chosen again because of the location, view of the lake from the home, dock for boating, fishing and swimming. Some of our family could not get to the lake due to health issues, but could still watch the Grandchildren swim, fish, ski, tube etc. from the huge balcony that surrounds the home. The outdoor kitchen is perfect for our group with five children. The upstairs shower is small but there is a much larger shower in the lower level. This second visit there had been a lot of rain and there were a few spiders and other insects that seemed to come in the home due to the heavy rain. The only other issue was that many light bulbs were out and there were none that could be found in the home, this was not a big issue but one that should be addressed. The only other issue was some mouse dropping in the storage area of the range in the homes kitchen. We had brought additional cookware so this was also not an issue for us. We did not call the manager for correction of any issues as we felt they were not significant. Other than the minor issues that can easily be corrected we certainly will consider this property again. .

Response: Thank you so much, we are so happy you enjoyed Paradise Point. It is a wonderful property. Looking forward to you visiting with us again.

Review by Jones on 7/6/13 10:38 PM   IP Address: 50.102.8.6

The cabin was very nice and peaceful. Only draw backs were the marina location and the sulfer smell of the water other than that i recommend this cabin to anyone wanting to get away from the busy city life for some country quietness. The turtles were a big hit for my daughter we fed them every morning.

Response: WE are so glad you enjoyed your stay with Country Oasis. Can’t wait for you to come stay with us again. See you then

Country Oasis..

Review by Country Oasis on 6/26/13 9:09 AM   IP Address: 71.31.160.91

The cabin and location was great. We have stayed in many places in the Smokey’s and this is our favorite. Loved the peace and quiet and access to the lake. Only drawback was the sulfur smell of the water but we had seen online in some of the other reviews of cabins that this could be an issue and had brought our drinking and cooking water. We hope to visit again. If you go the turtles love little bread balls!! Gator point marina is closest marina but the access is poor. The Barlow’s

Response: WE are so pleased that County Oasis your favorite cabin to stay in our area. We will be looking forward to your return visit. also the Sulfur water issue has been remedied. See you soon

Excellent stay…very quiet and peaceful. Woodpecker woke me up every morning @ 6am but what can you do about that? Upstairs bedroom needs a ceiling fan. These things are minor…overall great stay and would highly recommend staying here and would definitely be back in the future.

RESPONSE: Tom, we are so glad you enjoyed Lazy Bear. its a wonderuful cabin and will look forward to seeing you again.

Had a great time..

Review by Sunset Breeze on 6/11/13 4:00 PM   IP Address: 108.161.210.138

We enjoyed the cabin and the views. The area was quiet and relaxing. The sleeper sofa needs replacement. It was uncomfortable. And the water filter in the bedroom closet was noisy. With those two expceptions, this cabin was perfect. On a side note, and no reflection on Lakefront Cabins other than the link on the website, I wanted to rent a boat from Gator Point Marina. Drove over there to find the office closed. I called and left a message two days later. No one ever returned the call. So, I still don’t know if they are still in business. But the proximity was one of the reasons I picked this cabin. It was very disappointing. Brian, Marilyn, Madelyn, and Micah

RESPONSE:  We are so glad you loved Sunset Breeze, so do we. There is a note on the wall By the door where the water system is. You can turn it off at night. There is a toggle switch.  I have no idea whats going on with the Marina but I will sure call over there to see if i can find out. thank you for making us aware. Hope to see you again.

Ponderosa..

Review by Andy on 5/21/13 10:38 AM   IP Address: 184.20.116.223

Our yearly family reunion was made quite enjoyable by the use of the Ponderosa cabin. Plenty of room for all. Family came from Dallas, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee. As one of the cooks, I was grateful for the massive amount of dishes, glasses, and utensiles. Couldn’t find the cutting board because I was looking for a wooden one. Finally found the glass one. Discovered that the A/C did not work on the first evening. Called Debbie and was promised that it would be fixed that evening. And it was. Thanks for the super quick service. One note: there is a hole in side of the roof at the left of the chimney which let in some creature that went scratch, scratch, pitter patter in the night. Better have that fixed as I am sure you will. Great TV but not used much since we all had so much to catch up on and laugh about. My youngest (12) grandson caught his first fish and therefore earned a merit badge (he had to clean it and cook it also). Everyone had a great time. Thanks. Andy

Response: Thank you , We are so glad you enjoyed the Ponderosa. We hope you will come back to visit with us again soon.

Country Oasis..

Review by prilly on 4/27/13 8:39 AM   IP Address: 50.142.32.152

First of all, the cabin was wonderful and the staff at Lakeside Cabin Rentals were terrific! The cabin was clean and i found that linens/towels were sufficient. The dock has recently been updated. Quite and privacy abound. The only thing i think i should mention is that the neighborhood boat ramp is right beside the cabin. Not a big deal if you are ok with meeting some local residence. I did think it was worth noting. Again, great cabin and great customer service by the staff.

response:  We are so glad you  enjoyed the Country Oasis. It is a wonderful home. We hope you will come to visit with us again soon.

Thanks for the great vacation getaway!!We could not have asked for anything different and the weather was perfect.We all appreciated the great hospitality and easy access to all basic amenities.We enjoyed every aspect of the property and would definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys relaxing in the great outdoors!The 4×4 mule was a definite must for the numerous trips we made to the gazebo and dock.We will definitely consider visiting this great location again in the future.A small fishing boat would have been great because local marinas did not allow rentals the week we visited,but still caught bass,crappie,catfish,carp,and sauger from dock area.Overall wonderful stay!!Thanks for allowing us to stay!!!

Response: Thank you for the wonderful review. Cricket Lane is a fabulous cabin. We hope you will come to visit with us again soon. Be sure and tell all your friends too. We would love to have them visit with us too.

Amazing!!!.. Review by Marquez Family on 12/31/12 11:39 AM   IP Address: 159.63.149.146 We rented this cabin to spend 2012 Christmas there, it was awesome. It was our first time there, we fell in love with the place, everything was clean, perfect location, very peaceful. The only thing is that it doesn’t have wifi (which on the other hand we enjoyed cause we went there to spend some quality time with the family, and not having fb, email and google really helped haha); though I still think its necessary. I want to thank Debbie specially, for everything. We’ll definitely be back!!! Hopefully next year.

REsponse:  Thank you Lilly. It was so nice meeting with you and your family. We are so happy you enjoyed your stay and look forward to seeing you next year.

Angel Cove was heaven sent.. Review by Janejaneable on 12/5/12 11:35 AM   IP Address: 96.33.129.205 Our family ventured up to Tennessee to spend a week in the mountains for Thanksgiving. We chose Lakefront Cabins and rented Angel Cove. Much to our surprise and great excitement, we found the rental to go beyond our expectations. There were fourteen of us, and there was ample room and amenities for everyone. The view and grounds were amazing. Our stay was such a wonderful experience. It has given us the best of memories for a lifetime. We all want to do it again next year!! Thank you for making our Thanksgiving 2012 the best yet!

Response: Thank you Mrs. J for such a good review.  Angle Cove is a wonderful home and we so thrilled you loved it and am anxious for you to return.

Cricket Lane.. Review by VIRGINIA S on 11/26/12 12:00 PM   IP Address: 96.19.181.97 Our Family stayed here over Thanksgiving. The house and property were beautiful. The game room was a huge hit with our kids. There were 11 of us in all (9 staying onsite). My main problem was that there were only 8 forks and limited serving pieces and basically no cabinet space for groceries. I like another poster thought there was just to much clutter and knick-knacks. Also the fold away bed upstairs is partially broken at the bottem. I think if you advertise that a cabin “sleeps” a certain number you should actually be able to sleep and have kitchenware for that number. We also had no blankets for the sleeper sofa or pillows. I would definitely come here again but I would bring more of my own supplies.

Response:  We are so happy you enjoyed your stay at Cricket Lane. It is a wonderful home. There are blankets for the sleepers in the closets and /or end tables of each room with a sleeper. We are so sorry there was not enough forks but that has been replenished. Silverware does occasionally get thrown away and has to be replenished from time to time. The owner is coming to the home in a couple days and will go through and make sure everything is in tip top shape again. I am certain when you return you will fine everything this time.

The Ponderosa.. Review by Fabulous Birthday on 10/31/12 6:28 AM   IP Address: 75.246.155.68 What a great time everyone had. We had a wonderful weekend at your beautiful cabin. We appreciate the extra towels you provided. We had a cabin full of ladies and everyone raved about the cabin, gleeming & so cozy. Everything was perfect, and everyone wanted the name to come back with their families. The rose you left with the birthday wish was so nice. I always enjoy staying at your properties. We made some great memories and will definitely be back. Thank you!!

RESPONSE: Hey TT. We are so glad you and the girls had a good time. It is a wonderful big place to relax that’s for sure.  Its especially nice for family groups with the size of the cabin but especaially that hugh flattish yard. Can’t find anything that compares to that on the lake, that’s for sure.  We appreciate you visiting with us now for several years and hope you continue to come back .  See you next time !

Old Home Place.. Review by Koke on 10/23/12 9:34 AM   IP Address: 75.185.62.204 My wife and I spent a rented this cabin for our vacation.We have always stayed in Hotels in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.We decided to try renting a cabin for a change.We found Lakefront Cabins via the internet.We chose Old Home Place because of the rustic charm and the price.When we arrived,we were thrilled.The location of the cabin was perfect.Very peaceful.The cabin was exactly what we were looking for.The cabin was very clean inside and out.We are planning on staying here again next year.I would recommend LakefrontCabin Rentals.The people i talked to at the office were very nice and helpful.

RESPONSE: We are so glad you enjoyed the Old Homeplace. That Rustic charm is what drawns guests year after year.  Its so good to hear that you will be returning to visit with Old Homeplace again next year. See you then.

peaceful.. Review by old home place on 10/22/12 10:11 AM   IP Address: 12.204.217.8 The Old Home Place was a peaceful getaway for me and my husband’s 7th anniverary. The place was stocked well, the road leading to it was winding and curvey but when we got there is was worth it. It did take a minute to figure out how to get the gate open.(had to walk around gate to get key) but was easy after that. We love the lake but wish it was not the winter pool and the level would have been higher,but we know that goes with it. The hot tub was another story. We enjoyed it on the first night but the second night the hot tub would not warm up at all. When we got in it, it was only 85 degrees and we didnt get to enjoy it on our last night. Hopefully that will be fixed for the next guest. We enjoyed the quietness of it all. Thanks for that.

RESPONSE: Thank you for visiting with Old Homeplace and we are so glad you enjoyed your stay. We are not sure why the tub was not hot your second night. As far we we know no one had called in for it and we just checked with the guests there and its working fine so not sure what the malfunction was but it must have corrected itself. Sometimes also if  you hit a sequence of buttons it sets it in a sleep mode which sits at a lower rate for energy. Possibly what happened when you were not but not sure of course. Glad you enjoyed your stay and hope you return to visit Old Homeplace again.

Lake’s Edge.. Review by Mel on 10/22/12 8:06 AM   IP Address: 130.160.131.196 My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights and it was perfect. The cabin was very clean, cozy and comfortable. We would definitely consider staying here again.

RESPONSE: Mrs. V. We are so happy you enjoyed your stay and hope you return soon to visit again.

Cricket Lane – 10/6/12-10/13/12.. Review by Mrs. V on 10/14/12 6:38 PM   IP Address: 74.167.4.145 We just spent a great week at the cabin on Cricket Lane. Overall it was a very pleasant stay and plenty of room for our extended family of 8. The game room was awesome for the kids (big & small). Everyone loved the hot tub too! The location is super quiet and hidden away but not too far from town. This property is very close to being 5 stars in our book but we did have to call the office about the very dirty shower curtains (which were also mentioned in another recent review we read before our stay). Housekeeping was quick to come out and take care of the problem. Better/newer linens, thicker towels & pillows would really boost this property–the linens all smelled of cigarette smoke. The house is over-decorated, cute & woodsy themed, but a little too much. We had to move things out of the way to make room to set our own things down (books, computers, food in the kitchen, etc). Unfortunately, moving things meant having to dust/clean those counters/tabletops. All the knick knacks make it difficult for housekeeping to efficiently clean a unit and things will be missed. Dust & cobwebs in many areas that aren’t good for people with asthma. Yes, there is a terrible, overwhelming sulfur smell when you turn on the hot water–the hot water heater probably needs to be flushed out and cleaned. Adding WiFi would be awesome too. Thanks for the use of the mule, it made getting down to the lake much easier too!

RESPONSE:  We are so glad you enjoyed Cricket lane. It is a wonderful cabin. Each cabin owner decorates and furnishes their home to their taste and most guests love it the way it is but occassionally a home is not decorated to the taste of a guest. We are sorry for this but unfortuately that cannot be helped. Also there is wifi in Cricket lane. The box is in the dining room cabinet so its there for everyone to use. We hope you will return soon. The homes do have water systems and rarely do they smell. This home almost never does so i am very sorry that it smelled when you were there.

Fantastic!.. Review by Ol’ Fishin’ Hole on 10/8/12 1:55 PM   IP Address: 174.228.73.51 I just spent the weekend at Ol’ Fishin Hole with my wife as a surprise for her birthday. Needless to say, she was very pleased with the accomodations. Our stay there was absolutely wonderful! The cabin was very clean and well organized. We didn’t want for anything during our stay. The location of this cabin is great with itsaccess to the lake and seclusion from any other cabins. So hearing any other visitors was rare unless echoed across the lake. We are very avid outdoorsmen so being able to fish when we wanted, even in the rain (thanks to the covered dock) was great. And let’s not forget, watching the deer across the lake while having our morning coffee on the porch. And with this cabin not being far from our son’s college, he was also able to drop by for a while to complete my wife’s birthday surprise. And she also loved the journal book for the cabin, that was a great bonus to read entries from others who have stayed there. So, THANK YOU to LakeFront cabins and all of the staff involved for making my wife’s surprise weekend one that she will always remember!

RESPONSE: Oh, We are so happy you had a good time at Ol Fishin Hole for such a special occasion. We wish we had known it was her birthday. It was nice to hear that your son could come to visit with her on that special day also. We hope you can plan to come back next year on her birthday. Hint~~ remind us its her birthday ! Hope to see  you soon.

LakeFront Cabins – Chapel Cove.. Review by Craig on 10/3/12 2:55 PM   IP Address: 206.28.57.40 The cabin was great, We really liked the location and although the lake was down, was still within a short walk. The service from Lake front cabins was exceptional. I had never rented a cabin with very little contact to the renter. Since I am face to face person, I was a little worried. When everything checked out and was exactly as specified, I quickly relaxed and enjoyed my trip. The cabin was very clean and friendly. My wife quickly became obsessed with the dollar game at this cabin. By our last day she didn’t want to leave. I will rent from LakeFront Cabins again and hopefully very soon. Thanks again for providing a great service and wonderful vacation.

RESPONSE:   Craig, We are so proud you had a good time and experience at Chapel Cove. Its a wonderful home for sure and everyone loves the dollar game. We sure hope to see you often now that you have found us. See you soon.

Old fishing hole.. Review by Miller time on 9/17/12 10:50 AM   IP Address: 166.147.120.16 My husband and I spent four nights at the Old Fishing Hole. We had a wonderful time. The cabin was very clean, comfy and cozy. Had everything we could possibly need and then some.QUIET SECLUSION!! AWESOME!! Unfortunately someone removed the bench from the dock and we are to old to have put it back. But we brought our own chairs. Fishing was fun but fish didn’t cooperate!! Didn’t catch much but had a great time trying. Will definitely come back again. Well worth the money. Thanks for a great vacation! The Millers. 9/18/2012

RESPONSE: Mr. and Mrs. Miller, we are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Ol Fishin Hole. It is quiet and relaxing for sure. I think the wind blew the bench off into the lake so we gotta go Fishin to get it now. I am so sorry we could not retrieve it prior to your stay. The water level will have to drop a bit more before we can get it.  Anxious for your to come visit the Ol Fishin Hole again.

Great mini-vacation.. Review by Calin on 9/12/12 10:04 AM   IP Address: 184.163.227.202 We organized a class reunion in three of the cabins (Hilltop Hideaway, Cricket Lane, and Waters Edge). Everything was just perfect. The cabins were clean and equipped with everything you might need (we even found an extra gas tank). The view of Waters Edge cabin over the lake is breath-taken. We swam in the lake and took advantage of the close marina. A big A+ to Debbie and Linzie who handled in a very professional manner special requests

RESPONSE: WE are so glad you enjoyed the cabins and Douglas Lake. We think they are special also. We appreciate all of you coming to visit with us and we hope you come again soon.

Ponderosa.. Review by Review by the Jewell Family on 9/10/12 7:55 AM   IP Address: 68.112.80.84 WE HAD A GREAT TIME, THE CABIN WAS GREAT. WE DIDNT WANT THE WEEKEND TO PASS BY. WE GO SOMEWHERE EVERY YEAR FOR OUR FAMILY GET TOGETHER AND LAKE FRONT CABINS R ON THE TOP OF THE LIST. THANKS FOR A GREAT MEMORIABLE WEEKEND.

RESPONSE: We are so pleased you had a great time. Douglas Lake is a wondeful place to vacation. We will be expecting to see  your family again soon.

ponderosa.. Review by church group on 9/4/12 9:58 AM   IP Address: 108.15.197.137 loved everything, we ate, we swam, we laughed so much we cried, loved the pool table , the view is just great, had coffee early on the porch before the beautiful sunrise, room for all of us, comfortable furniture , except the bunk beds, we will want to come back again., fishing was good, dock very helpful to get in and out of water, no problems with the gate or keys easy access, quiet surroundings , lots of room to take walks, thank-you for sharing your cabin with us, worth the money. God Bless,

RESPONSE:  Thank you and we are so glad you loved  your stay. The Ponderosa is a great place!. Yes, the gate and keys are very easy for those like you who bring their instructions with them. We have tried really hard to make the checkin process as easy as possible. We hope you return often to visit with us and enjoy those beautiful East Tennessee Sun Rises over the lake.  See you soon!

Angel Cove.. Review by Angel Cove on 8/20/12 8:01 PM   IP Address: 69.73.126.101 We had a wonderful time in our lake front rental. The house was very spacious and we had beautiful views from the upper and lower decks. Our complaints for the property would be the water softening system broke down and the water tasted like salt and was undrinkable. We contacted the management and they told us they were very busy and someone would be by later in the day but no one ever showed. We had to buy bottles of drinking water for the entire last day. The hot tub was also dirty. Overall the trip was very pleasant but management needs to be able to address problems in a timely manner.

Response: Someone did come to the home. Angels Cove does not have a water system much less a salt system. It does have a filter on the well which was changed. With well water especially on the lake the wells are ever changing. taste does change from day to day. We apologise if you bought bottled water but we also buy bottled water here and we have city water. Unfortunatley a managment company of any kind cannot do anything about nature and wells and such things as that. We do apologise if one day the water did not taste as it did in the days prior. Also our hot tubs are emptied and cleaned and re filled after each stay. Again with well water it is as it is. We are so glad you enjoyed Angel Cove and Douglas Lake. Thank you for visiting.

Family Get-together.. Review by Bobbio on 8/15/12 8:07 AM   IP Address: 98.28.238.99 I was pleased, overall, with the cleanliness of the cabin as well as how comfortable it was for a large group. The cabin had all the essentials to support a fun weekend. My only complaint was the terrible “rotten egg” smell of the water when the faucets were turned on. This was explained as: ” We didn’t smell any sulfur smell when we turned on the water”. Was I dreaming this? I have eleven people who will confirm what I say….Please don’t place the problem back on your guests. Just fix the problem or inform guests that this is just the way it is due to the well. Let people decide for themselves if they want to deal with the smell or find another place to stay. I give five stars for the cabin and ameneties and two stars for the booking and management agency. In the future, I will make sure to ask about the water and if there have been “complaints” about it! Oh, by the way, I noticed that this was a problem in the past with other guests! No Smell Huh?

Response: Ma’am as already explained to you most all our cabins have sulfur water. Thats whats on the lake and there is nothing we can do about that. Most all the cabins have water systems and occassionally ALL of then can and will flare up from time to time. There is just NO possibility of this not happening.  And Yes, at your cabin when we went there we did not smell any sulfur at all.  As already discussed with you, We did not tell you that you did not smell it. We only stated that when we were there we did not.  There was no maintance on the system between the time you were there and we went in to ck it out. We did apologise to you and we did come over to check it out but if everything is working property and there was no smell when we are there  there is nothing do be done.  Again, we explained all this to you at the time along with the fact that all of them will occassionally fare up from time to time.  You stated that you were all familiar with sulfur from where you live so the fact that its a rental does not make any different from your home or any other. Just as in your home things can and will go wrong in a rental home occassionally too.  We do apologise and we have apologised to you. And Yes, the cabin is wonderful as you stated.

Lakes edge cabin.. Review by Lakes edge on 8/12/12 12:24 PM   IP Address: 107.4.178.210 We had a blast at this cabin the walk to the lake isn’t that bad and we spent a lot of time in the lake and the drive to pigeon forge isn’t far at all def. Be back again

Response: We are so glad you have a good time. We will be looking forward to seeing you again soon. Thanks for visiting with us. !

Hilltop Hideaway 8/3-8/10.. Review by Mr. S on 8/11/12 2:09 PM   IP Address: 69.204.100.225 This was a very beautiful cabin, it had plenty of room for our nine guests plus ice cold air conditioning. The hot tub was a great feature, we enjoyed it every night. The pool table/ game room upstairs was also perfect for isolated fun. One thing to add would be another large outdoor covered garbage bin. One trash bin is not enough. Raccoons left a big mess for us to clean up one morning, they worked the cover off of the garbage can during one night. It would have been convenient to have a trash dump closer to the Paradise Landing entryway, instead of having to haul our trash miles to town. Lastly, access to the lake was not convenient; a long, steep, unpaved hill was the only way down. But once at the landing, it was great at the shoreline. I would recommend that a stone path or trailway be provided for guests. Younger guests don’t have a problem with the hill, but the older ones didn’t even attempt it. Overall, a very good experience and I would not hesitate to rent from Lakefront again! Thanks!

RESPONSE: Thank you so much and we are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Hilltop Hideaway. It is a wonderful home. Unfortunatley we have no say in where our county dumpsters are. They are randomly placed and nothing we can do about where they are but I completely agree, It would be so nice if there were more and that would make it easier access for all of us including the locals who live here.  I will certainly pass your suggestions for the walkway to the lake and another trash can to the owner. I am sure they will get another can thats an easy fix now the pathway to the lake, I don’t know but will pass along your suggestion to them. We hope to see you again at Hilltop Hideaway in the future. Thank you again for visiting with us.

Paradise Point.. Review by Pat T on 8/5/12 8:46 PM   IP Address: 174.69.203.79 Just spent a wonderful week at Paradise Point. (July 28th-Aug 4, 2012) m Cabin has an awesome view of the lake and the mountains. I agree with a previous review that the bathroom upstairs has a very small shower, but we made do. The cabin is very comfortable and very clean. Really enjoyed the outdoor kitchen. It was perfect for our group. The lake is fantastic. Very quiet. We spent a lot of time just floating on rafts next to the dock. We would definitely recommend this cabin.

Response: Pat we are so happy your enjoyed Paradise point. It is a wonderful home and that view out on that point is fabulous. WE hope to see you visiting there again soon. Thank you for visiting with us.

Paradis Point.. Review by TN Vacation on 8/2/12 1:15 PM   IP Address: 75.187.142.181 We stayed at Paradise Point from 7/23/12 thru 7/28/12. The cabin was amazing. There were 8 of us and there was plenty of room for all. The cabin was clean and had incredible views of the lake. It was exactly as described and the cost was very reasonable. The shower upstairs is small not enough room to move around but the shower downstairs was huge so the girls used that shower alot. The air conditioning worked fine it was sooooo hot I think it had a hard time keeping up so it got pretty warm at times. The outdoor kitchen in the gazebo was just as amazing. Very spacious. Of course with the heat the refrigerator had a hard time but it worked. You have to expect that when using appliances outdoors. The freezer worked well. The gas stove outside ran off a big propane tank and we tried cooking breakfast on it the first morning we arrived and didn’t get far. The tank was empty. The driveway is steep. We had a 24′ trailer with motorcycles and there was no way that trailer was going down the drive. We ended up parking at the top of the hill and the little old lady next door who owned the property was not happy about it but she let us. The men took her flowers to say thank you and she didn’t even seem to happy about that. Sometimes there is no pleasing someone! The lake was clean and the dock was large. I wish the water would have been a little cooler. It was like bath water but you couldn’t control that. All around it was very nice and comfortable and everyone was pleased. We would rent from this company again!

RESPONSE: Thank you so much for your comments and we truly appreciate you understanding with temps of near 100 heat does effect lots of things. I surely wish all guests would just for a moment think about that. We are so glad you enjoyed your home and Douglas Lake and we hope you come again to vist with us soon.

7/24-7/26/2012 vacation .. Review by angels rest on 7/28/12 11:07 AM   IP Address: 166.248.65.213 House was beautiful inside and out, but looks can obe decieving. Neither tv had a working dvd player. Our second day the upstairs air conditioning went out. Called the office and they said it would be the day after we were to leave before they could get an ac technician out to the house. When we were leaving the ac man was pulling up, so we were lied to. They had a large group arriving that day so they put forth the effort to get the place ready. Already had my money so i just had to deal with it being 88 degrees upstairs. It said it the instructions for the house not to change the thermstats, which we did not. But shows they were already having issues with the out dated ac units. I would suggest not to use lakeside cabin rentals, look for some place more professionally kept up.

RESPONSE:  Yes, your air did go out in the upstairs floor of the home. and when they called in to us we immedately called the heat and air company to check them out. Just like you at home we have to call in for a service call and they get there as quickly as possible.  I realize when your on vacation you never want anything to happen nor do we but real life is that something can and will go wrong just as it does in your own home.  So for anyone to say that a person or a company ruined their vacation because something broke when they were there is just unrealistic.We all know that we all have things to tear up in our homes and these rental homes are homes just the same your ours that we live in. There is no possibility of nothing not ever happening. We do apologise when something goes wrong but making the repair is all we can do. We cant prevent it nor can any other company or person

. Old Fishing Hole.. Review by Old Fishing Hole on 7/16/12 10:25 AM   IP Address: 192.109.145.42 Property was very clean. The best part of the whole experience was the seclusion and privacy. If you want to be where the action is then this is not your place. I loved it. Will go back. I do have a couple of suggestions to improve the experience. The toilet is not very tall and the seat slid from side to side making it very difficult to use for those of us tall folks with bad knees. There also was no toilet paper holder. I would suggest adding a grab bar and some more hooks or towel racks in the bathroom as there really is no where to hang clothes, toiletry bag or a hand towel.

RESPONSE: Thank you for visiting the Ol Fishing Hole. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and the privacy. We will pass along your comments for your added comfort to the owner of the home. We will be looking forward to your return visit with us.  Thank you again for visiting

Old Fishing Hole.. Review by Walling on 7/10/12 6:05 PM   IP Address: 67.141.21.63 Our family stayed at the Old Fishing Hole during the fourth of July holiday week. The cabin is very nice inside and out. The rooms were all clean and tidy. The only surprise was a small childs t-shirt sticking out from under one of the beds. (We did not have any small children with us) We got down on the floor to retrieve it and the underneath of the bed was really dirty. Probably just an over-site on the cleaning service but it was a bit surprising. The rest of the cabin was so clean. The cabin is an older cabin but it had anything that you would need in it and you can tell that it has been taken well care of. The view of the lake is great. The dock with the bench was perfect for relaxing and fishing. We plan on returning to the Old Fishing Hole for another great vacation.

RESPONSE: Thank you so much for visiting Ol Fishing Hole and so glad you enjoyed your stay.WE do apologise that one of your beds was not gotten under prior to your stay, there is no excuse of course for this but July is a very very busy hard summer and unfortunatley sometimes our cleaning staff may forget something along the way. We look forward to having you to visti Ol Fishing Hole agan soon.

Angel’s Rest.. Review by Green on 7/7/12 6:44 AM   IP Address: 65.26.152.45 The house was beautiful and was a perfect size for our entire family. The amenities were good too and the cottage was a great get-away for us each night. One suggestion, put lids on the trash cans to keep the racoons from getting into the trash bags every night.

RESPONSE: We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Angels Rest and on Douglas Lake. OH those critters~~ we have put lids, and bungee cords, new cans and new kinds of hinges. They chew away anything we put there.  Racoons and opossums and squirrels all reak havack on our trash. WE certainly hope the Green Family will visit with us again. Thank you so much for visiting.

Hilltop hideaway.. Review by Hilltop Hideaway on 7/5/12 5:11 AM   IP Address: 71.56.76.197 Wonderful Cabin with all the amenities you can imagine – including two crockpots! This cabin had worked out well for our two families and besides having enough bedrooms had more than enough bathrooms! The cabin was clean and the bedding comfortable. Plenty of room in the dining area for our families and we never ran out of glasses, plates or silverware! The children especially enjoyed the pool table! The access to the lake was more strenous than we had prepared for and were unable to take our elderly mother down to fish. It was not the length of the walk it was the precipitous climb. If you are elderly, have asthma or a heart condition then this walk to the lake would not be recommended

Angel Cove cabin.. Review by Karensaw on 7/1/12 1:01 PM   IP Address: 98.69.171.24 We loved out time atAngel Cove. The view was beautiful, the cabin was clean and well stocked. We had 3 couples a d 5 kids and it worked well. The kids had downstairs and adults up! The deck was wonderful and the dock great for our pontoon boat. The hill to the lake is very steep but we were fine. Thanks for your hoitality. Well be back.

Great View!!!!.. Review by Sunset Breeze on 6/26/12 7:28 AM   IP Address: 184.18.118.116 Sunset Breeze is a very nice cabin in a great location. It was very clean and well stocked with towels and dishes. As mentioned before, the water conditioner in the 2nd bedroom is very loud and runs every time you use water. I would definitely rent this cabin again.

RESPONSE: The well water has been replaced by city water so the water system is no longer in the home.  So glad you had a good time.

Last Wagon stop.. Review by M & T vance on 6/19/12 1:27 PM   IP Address: 208.102.109.68 Had a great time! The boat ramp was a little steep but ok. The only complaints would be that we ran out of gas in the grill before we finshed a meal and the ice maker didn’t dispense ice but other than that the cabin was great would stay here again. This is the second time we’ve stay in Lakefront Cabins. Several years ago we stayed at Sunset Breeze. We will definitely use Lakefront Cabins again in the future.

Old Fishin’ Hole.. Review by A and K on 6/17/12 4:30 PM   IP Address: 67.140.196.220 The Old Fishin’ Hole was perfect for what we sought: a place for a quiet family reunion for three adults. Three days of rain didn’t bother us because the wonderful covered porch let us be outside to read, play cards and catch up. We wished we’d been the avid fisherpeople the place deserves with its dock and secluded cove, but enough bass were breaking the water that we were glad they’d be there for the next person. And our only visitor was a great blue heron making his rounds morning and evening. Many thanks to Debbie and her crew who were responsive to us both before and during our visit and thanks, too, to Cindy’s Cleaning Service . . . they ALL do great work.

Ponderosa.. Review by Recent stay at the Ponderosa on 6/17/12 10:46 AM   IP Address: 204.250.15.8 We just recently stayed at the Ponderosa for 6 nights in early June. Our extended family from Florida joined up with my sister’s family from Wisconsin. The 12 of us had plenty of room. Loved the view of the water, all bedrooms but one had a view of the water! Great log home feel and furniture was pretty nice and beds comfortable. Some of the floors are unlevel but not a problem getting around. Only problem was my Mom is 82 and she had a hard time getting into bed because it was so high! Also, there was no chair for her to sit on to dress/undress. A couple of small issues- bunkbed had loose bolts and was swaying, property management sent someone out right away to tighten the bolts. One of the bathroom doors locked by itself and someone came out first thing in the morning with a key and tightened the knob so it wouldn’t happen again. Loved the huge charcoal grill/smoker- have never seen one so big. Used to gas grills but it worked great! We spent a lot of time on the porches looking out at the view and used the campfire. It was so beautiful and peaceful. My suggestions for improvement would be the following: Add more large casserole dishes, better cutting knives, at least one bed downstairs lowered for the elderly, ice maker didn’t make enough ice-had to buy our own, more modern tv in the pool room, couldn’t figure with the remotes. Lastly, the 17 people it holds includes two folding beds which are in bad shape. Even with our toddler, we had to add pillows under the sheets to make it softer. Plus I wouldn’t recommend the bunk beds for anyone but children as they are a little unsteady even after the bolts were tightened, someone heavier would probably not work. It really sleeps only 14 comfortably. Overall, we had a great time and plan to come back in the future!

Paradise Point.. Review by Paradise Point Rev62012 on 6/11/12 12:03 PM   IP Address: 74.188.48.10 Paradise Point is a nice cabin, but a little dated inside and out. The bathrooms were small and not suitable for older guest or handicap persons. The couch and love-seat need replacing as they were broken and not operational. The location is great and the lawn was nicely cut. All in all, we had a nice time and enjoyed the peace and quiet. Douglas lake is a beautiful place this time of the year!

Driftwood.. Review by BroHam on 6/9/12 12:11 PM   IP Address: 66.184.138.47 The Driftwood was a great cabin. Our first time up at Douglas lake was just wonderful at this cabin. Was perfect for the 8 of us (5 adults and 3 kids all 5 and under). Had a great time fishing even though we only caught one keeper catfish. It was so peaceful. Felt like we were the only ones around. Would definitely recommend this place for a great family vacation.

captain happy’s.. Review by mary on 6/9/12 6:29 AM   IP Address: 184.34.28.100 just spent a week at captain happy’s and have such mixed reviews. when we first opened the door the smell of sulfur water was extremely powerful. no matter how much we ran the water in the home nothing fixed it. Needed to use bottled water for cooking and brushing teeth. the home itself was nice upstairs but had a couple issues with the downstairs/gameroom area. The temperature there stayed warm and did not cool off until sometimes ten oclock at night which would have been fine but the windows had no screens so opening them for fresh cooler air couldnt be done because of all the spiders/cobwebs. the only other thing that needed fixing was the steps on the dock to get out of the water. the kids had no problems pulling themselves out but the adults did because the ladder that was there only had 2 steps on it — if there was one or 2 more steps in the water would have been easy to do. The home itself was nice though, fully stocked with kitchen items, movies, books. we will go back to tennessee for vacation but just think that for the money we paid that we could have been told about some of the very obvious problems especially the smell.

RESPONSE :  Mary We are so sorry about the sulfur water. Captain happys retreat along with most all our cabins do have sulfur water but also have systems to take care of that. sometimes any of them will flare up. If we know about it we can and do call the water system people.  When you checked out and our cleaners went in they smelled it also and called the water people and it was taken care of promptly but again we can’t do that if you don’t tell us when it happens. I do apologise.  The air conditioning downstairs~ i have no idea. Its working fine and we have not had any repair so I do not know what the issue was when you were there. Ladder for dock. Most cabins do not have ladders as this is a problem with the flucating water levels when they get low. To have 2 steps in great. That is not something that is very workable with our levels dropping as low as they do sometimes. I am sorry this is not good for you but again almost no cabins have ladders .

Relax at Cricket Lane.. Review by Cricket Lane on 6/1/12 8:44 AM   IP Address: 69.47.142.172 Had a great girls vacation time at Cricket Lane Cabin. Cabin has plenty of space and amenities. Each room had its own bathroom and king size bed. Beautiful sunsets over the lake made each evening the best on the screened in porch.

Old Home Place.. Review by David and Haley on 5/21/12 10:14 AM   IP Address: 128.219.49.14 We’ve rented from Lakefront Cabins multiple times, but this was our first stay at the Old Home Place. It’s a small cabin that sits right on the lake and is perfect for a couple (hot tub!) or small family. It’s in a gated community and has about 2 acres of woods surrounding it, so there is plenty of privacy. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend any of the Lakefront Cabins. We’ve always had a good experience renting through them.

Review By Paradise Point on 5/20/12 we just stayed at paradise point on the lake, we had a wonderful time the cabin was very nice and we enjoyed the view, lake, fishing and shopping in town we will be back in a year or two. thanks again and hope we left the cabin in good order. The Chapmans

sunset breeze .. Review by suset breezen on 5/7/12 3:16 PM   IP Address: 99.10.212.53 this was our 4th year at sunset breeze and we hope to return next year, the pepole at lakefront cabins are so nice and willing to help if a problem should arise, the house has always been so clean for all our stays.And the view of the sunsets are amazing and the price isnt bad either. we have come to think of sunset breeze as our second home. I love the country setting but still having the conveniec of stores, entreainment and restaurants just a short drive away. And having our own private dock is plus for the pontoon we rent at gator point marina. Ernie & Wendy Kelley

Long time renters of Chapel Cove.. Review by SaraVard on 5/1/12 12:41 PM   IP Address: 68.152.9.254 Chapel Cove was lovely as always. Clean, convienent and great lake access. My husband and I have been coming down since our honeymoon in 2007. We have always enjoyed this little cabin. This year, however, we did run into a little hiccup. When we come down to this cabin, we are almost always fishing. Chapel Cove has a great launch and dock just a few yards from the cabin. Two of the days we were down, however, the launch was blocked. My husband was quite upset and tried to contact the owners of the cabin/launch, but no luck. He ended up having to drive about 20 minutes out of his way to launch as there are no launches close to Chapel Cove. This really ruined our little mini vacation this time around. I don’t know if the owners did not realize we were staying or are just not used to guests using the launch, but either way, we were dissappointed.

Response~ Saravard, I have tried calling and emailing to you.  As it turns out a neighbor has parked in the road next to the ramp as he did that again when the owners were there after you left. They talked to him and he will not be parking there any more. We are so sorry for your inconvience.

Cricket Lane.. Review by The Long Family on 4/9/12 5:21 AM   IP Address: 173.95.174.124 We had a wonderful time at this cabin. The mule was wonderful (and very necessary – that hill was very steep!) The fishing off of the dock was great for my boys, and my husband loved keeping his boat at the dock. Very convenient. We had breakfast in the gazebo, we love the view from the hot tub. We used the upper deck for enjoying the afternoon sun and my kids could not get enough of the game room. We stayed over Easter week and the house was decorated beautifully. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was stocked with spices and such! What a wonderful vacation and what wonderful memories – thank you so much, we will definitely be back! **Note for the fisherman who will rent the cabin – we caught Bluegill, Carp and Catfish off of the dock, we caught Largemouth, Smallmouth out in the coves off of the boat.

Bennett Bunch (Sun. 3/25/12—Sat. 3/31/12).. Review by Paradise Point on 4/2/12 10:38 AM   IP Address: 4.225.22.238 The Cabin was clean, spacious, and had every thing we needed for a wonderful and relaxing stay. The weather was warm and sunny,and made for a great time. The Douglas lake was beautiful, my husband caught fish both out on his boat and at the dock behind the cabin. Our family had the best vacation staying at Paradise Point and we can’t wait to go again! We definitely do recommend this cabin for any one’s fun, rest, and a relaxing vacation! Debbie was so helpful,and made everything so easy for us to arrange our stay there, Thank You Debbie! We had an added bonus while packing to leave and got to meet the owner Wanda, A great big THANK YOU to Wanda for offering such a beautiful and well kept Paradise Point for my family to enjoy!

sweet escape.. Review by watson bunch on 1/9/12 4:36 PM we waited late during Christmas season to get reservations for cabin, my wife found LAKEFRONT CABIN RENTALS and I made a call and talked to Debbie, who was very helpful. we chose sweet escape and it was PERFECT.the folks at Lakefront Cabin Rentals were very responsive to any questions and problems that we had(which were minimum. we will do it again.

Wonderful stay.. Review by Mike and Nancy Williams on 11/9/11 8:31 AM We had the most exhilarating yet peaceful time at Sunset Breeze. The cabin is neat tidy and obviously well cared for. Everything we needed was there including the most spectacular view of the lake and peak season for the autumn leaves. The cabin is in the country but close enough to all the attractions we wanted to see including zip lining, golf and shopping. About 30 minutes to Pigeon Forge and 45 from Gatlinburg. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The neighborhood was very quiet. I would recommend this cabin to all.

Ponderosa.. Review by NC on 10/22/11 8:08 PM The Pros: beautiful location, good cabin-like feel, nice spot to build a campfire for roasting marshmallows, reasonably clean, plenty of space for our 10 adults, one 4 yo and 2 toddlers, adequate dishes and pots, and the weather was perfect. The Cons: Upstairs bedroom had screen missing from a window; not safe for small children. Visible nails stuck out of the wood around the house. Glass-top table on the porch very unstable; the metal supports came apart when attempting to move the table. The supports under one of the upstairs beds was a concern. Trips to the grocery, gas station or restaurants were time-consuming. Probably our biggest concern was the entrance gate. This was our first time to vacation in this area and we feel the gate instructions might be retooled for better clarity and maybe some lighting. When my husband & I arrived, it was still daylight and the gate was open, which we were not expecting. We didn’t realize it would be locked after dark. When our family began arriving (afer dark), we drove to the gate, which was now locked and tried to locate the lockbox in the dark. This took some time. Once we finally secured the key, we didn’t know where to use it to unlock the gate. Fortunately, another resident came along and showed us. We unlocked the gate, let them pass, then proceeded through the gate. However, we didn’t know that the gate automatically closed in about 90 seconds, so the right side of our car sustained a good abrasion as the gate closed. Aside from this initial gate-opening experience, we had a very enjoyable time.

Angel Cove.. Review by Angel Island on 9/27/11 11:09 AM We rented this house 2 times this year. It is a great place for family get togethers. The lake and mountains are beautiful. The house is big enough and has a large deck and porch on the back of the house. We will defiently return next year.

sextons.. Review by Old Homeplace on 9/18/11 9:16 AM We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin recently. The only problem we had was with the grill. It really needs to be replaced. The lid had to be lifted with 2 hands to keep it on straight and the bottom was almost burned through. Would want to make sure there was a new grill if we stay there again. Otherwise, we plan to stay there again next year.

Cricket Lane – The memory maker.. Review by 50 years on 9/13/11 4:43 PM Debbie was a jewel to work with. And the cabin… well, it was fantastic! The owners were awesome to work with too as there was a problem with the 4×4 and they worked with us so we could still enjoy the lake. The price was good for our three families plus lots of room for us all to spread out in. Thank you so much for the memories!

Old Fishin Hole.. Review by SavannahGA on 9/10/11 7:00 AM I absolutely LOVED it! It was secluded, the cabin was extremely clean, the weather was beautiful and we stayed out on the porch just about the entire time we were there. The water was great and we really enjoyed the dock and I was thrilled to see it had shade as well. The beds were very comfortable and I slept so good I forgot I was on vacay. When weighing in the cost, the location, and the amenities it beat staying in a hotel by a mile. I am already planning on booking the same cabin next year and making it my yearly vacation stop. Thank you so much for everything!!!

Sweet Escape.. Review by slg on 9/4/11 11:26 AM Cabin was nice and clean. Only problems we had was the door stairs bathroom had a major leak. Was disappointed that the lake level was so low, but was not a factor in a vacation. A/C could use a tune up, but ceiling fans help. Overall, a very enjoyable time spent at the cabin.

old homeplace.. Review by happy guests on 8/27/11 7:54 AM Thanks so much. The cabin was wonderful. We felt right at home. We would like to try a bigger cabin in July and bring some family with us. I would like to mention how clean the cabin was. Your cleaning service does an exceptional job. Can’t wait to visit again

Ponderosa.. Review by Carroll’s on 8/26/11 9:22 AM Debbie: We had a great time at the Ponderosa and everyone enjoyed the peace and quiet, swimming and fishing out there. My wife’s parents who are in their 80’s really enjoyed seeing the deer in the front yard quite a number of times. I have asked everyone if they would like to go back there again and they have all said yes. I know next year if we plan a family trip over Labor Day weekend we will not have as many going as my daughter and her husband will be in Florida for a wedding. That being said, if we do go next year we probably would not need a cabin as big as the Ponderosa. We will discuss it with everyone at Thanksgiving and Christmas to see who would be interested in going next year and will definitely keep your cabins in mind. Again we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Ponderosa the only thing that the cooks missed was the microwave. The turntable dish inside would not rotate so no one would use it as it burnt the food in one spot only. As for the dishes, utensils, towels and everything else it was very well stocked. Thanks for coming out on Tuesday to help us get rid of the trash that was definitely appreciated. Thanks for everything Debbie and we look forward to staying with you again. Sincerely,

Ponderosa.. Review by Pam on 8/23/11 10:33 AM The Ponderosa is very old and the kitchen is stocked with all the pots and pans we needed for cooking large meals, but they are VERY old and I didn’t feel comfortable using some of them. The property is beautiful, but the house is very old and furnishings are old and dingy. The key to get through the gate was a little challenging. The master bathroom had an odor that wasn’t pleasant. I was glad I brought my own bedding, I wouldn’t have been comfortable using theirs. I would not recommend this to friends or family because of it’s age and it was definitely NOT worth the cost!! I will stay on the lake again, just NOT this property. Debbie was very helpful, I would use their service again, just pick a nicer house. response:  The Ponderosa has new cookware etc  as of the first of each year. It was not bad its just that with groups of this home they get a lot of use and lots of guests do not use the teflon utensils that is provided.  they instead use spoons forks etc in the cookware. Obvioulsy it gets damaged this way.  Owners cannot replace a full kitchen every few stays. All the furnishing in this home is : the bedrooms are about 4 or 5 years old. The Living room and the one bedroom is 1 year old. Its not old furniture. its a true log home and is decorated as such. The bed linens also are replaced every 2 years sometimes more often as someone will damage them. The sheets are not old nor worn. I would appeal to readers of this review to also read the other reviews of this same home. This is NOT the opinion of other guests. thank you

Great but extra bedroom loud.. Review by Sunset Breeze on 8/17/11 11:42 AM We truly enjoyed our stay at Sunset Breeze. The cabin was clean and well appointed. The dock was a steep walk, but not a problem for us. What a view!!! Really enjoyed having coffee and looking at the lake. The cleaning folks were very accomodating and everyone was super. Our only issue was the water pump in the 2nd bedroom closet. you might want to think about an insulated box to dull the sound. Everytime the water was run or the toilet was flushed it would make a really loud noise for about a minute…my 16 year old was a bit grumpy after sleeping in there and being awoken every time someone used water during the night. we refrained from doing so the second night and were able to manage. For the price of the cottage, I think this should be addressed. Other than that…great stay…really relaxing…neighbors were even really nice!

I Miss Chapel Cove!.. Review by HappyCustomer on 8/17/11 2:38 AM This cabin was perfect! It wasn’t too close to the neighbors so it had a great deal of privacy. Having a fire-pit down by the lake was great and the water in the lake was as warm as a hot tub! We swam all the way across to the trees on the other side and back a few times. There was plenty of space to cook together without getting in eachother’s way. The bed was spacious and comfy in the master bedroom. We really could not have asked for anything else. We talked about how great it would be to leave Chicago and buy this cabin! The cabin was amazingly clean, cozy, and comfortable! I definitely would stay in Chapel Cove again!

lake home.. Review by d on 8/12/11 8:51 PM Thank you for a wonderful time. The cabin was very nice and the area was so serene. We jumped in the lake and was able to rock the dock to move it out to the water. I am so sorry that I never even thought to call you and let you know we had gotten it moved. We will rent from you again if we decide to take another short vacation. Thanks again.

ol fishin hole.. Review by norma on 8/9/11 8:08 PM Debbie, We had a great time. The cabin was very pretty and very clean. It is a place we would like to visit again. Thank you and have a great week.

lakefront cottage.. Review by ohio on 8/2/11 9:11 PM Thank you Debbie, We had a great time at Douglas Lake. It is really beautiful there. Everyone we met was so nice as well. The house worked fine for us. Hope to come down again.

Must be young and healthy. ….. Review by LAST WAGON STOP on 8/2/11 8:35 AM We loved the cabin…very nice for 2-3 families…however if you are not young and healthy..do not stay here. The walk to the lake and boat ramp is unlike anything we’ve ever seen. My husband said it must be a 20% plus grade. We were scared to drive up and down it..Plus, there was no way to see the kids by the lake from the house.

owls roost.. Review by j on 8/1/11 10:59 AM We did have a very nice time. Owl’s Roost was the perfect size for the three of us. Immediately upon entering, I was impressed by the overall cleanliness of the unit. We have rented before, and I have owned timeshares, but whomever you have doing the cleaning, I compliment.It was very well appointed and everything we needed was there.

Relaxing “Girls” Trip .. Review by Carey Family on 8/1/11 8:12 AM We had a wonderful time. This trip was a birthday present for our Mother who just turned 71 in June. . We also lost our Father in May, and thought it would do her some good to go someplace and just relax. That is exactly what we did. We met the current owners of the cabin, very friendly and nice people. The only drawback was not something that would be under your control, the neighbors next door…hmmmm they’re something We floated on the lake, roasted hot dogs and marshmallows. Very nice, relaxing setting.

chapel cove.. Review by renee on 7/31/11 8:42 PM Hello Ms. Debbie, I just wanted to thank you for a wonderful vacation cabin rental. We really enjoyed the cabin, the lake and the mountains. If we take another trip back to Tennessee we will definitely look you up. The only problem that we had was that when there was some dew on the roof and it started to drip down the gutters. The gutter connection outside the upstairs bedroom windows is not totally sealed together and it drips out of the connection onto the porch roof and makes a loud drip noise. Thank you again for a wonderful vacation that was just too short,

Serenity View.. Review by Lesters on 7/26/11 7:19 PM We stayed 5 nights at the Serenity View and had a wonderful time. Plenty of room and a very well stocked kitchen and plenty of bath towels. No gas for the grill (We was looking forward to cooking out evenings) was my biggest let down. We didn’t mind going up and down the hill to the dock, we could not swim off of it (to much boat traffic), but we really enjoyed boating on the lake (BEAUTIFUL!!) and swimming in the coves. I would recommend this cabin to anyone!! Also, very clean. Thanks for a great vacation!!

It was very clean, cozy, and really made us feel that we were on vacation. Douglas lake was very nice and access from the cabins dock was perfect. We really enjoyed our stay and will look forward to coming back again. Thank you,

Old Homeplace.. Review by pam on 7/24/11 3:46 PM Thanks so much!!! We really enjoyed our stay there and can’t wait to return…Thinking about Labor Day or sooner…Can we call at last minute on a weekend that he gets off work and book it and drive on down the same day…Or do we have to book ahead of our visit…Thanks again

Ponderosa.. Review by Crabtree on 7/23/11 8:12 AM Debbie, Thanks for the week at the Ponderosa! We all had a wonderful time.

Four seasons.. Review by Angie on 7/15/11 8:20 PM THANKS !!! ALWAYS FUN TO STAY AT LAKEFRONT CABINS, HAVE A GOOD DAY

Ponderosa.. Review by Judy on 7/15/11 8:17 PM Dear Debbie, I have been meaning to contact you to let you know that we had a wonderful time at Ponderosa. It is a nice piece of property. We met your husband on the way in and he helped us with the gate. The people were all very friendly. We plan on doing business with you in the future. Thanks again, Judy

Sunset Breeze.. Review by From Ohio on 7/11/11 8:20 AM I must say, this cabin was amaizing! It far exceeded our expectations. My husband and I spent an amaizing 5 days with my daughter and her husband and our 9 month old grandson. The cabin was spotless and in 90 degree weather, stayed quite cool! The lake was beautiful and swimming off the dock was nothing less than fantastic! We will definitately be returning next summer.
