A must stay especially if you're looking for a romantic getaway. Amazing breakfast, boat ride on the lake and candlelight desert to die for! Beautifully appointed rooms with everything you could possibly need. Fire pit on the lower deck. It's absolutely magical! The staff is superb.
The owners and the staff were great. The hour boat ride included was great with your customized pizza waiting for you when you got back from the ride. It also included an incredible dessert. The rooms had a little character. They showed some wear and tear but were very comfortable. The view from the rooms overlooks the mountains and lake. I would definitely stay again.
My husband and I were traveling and found this gem on Lake Douglas. We immediately felt like family. All the staff were so nice and the whole experience was amazing. We ended up staying twice in one week we enjoyed it so much. From the lake tour to the candle lit desserts, it was perfect. We can't wait to return soon.
Spent our anniversary here on August 22 and 23rd. Fantastic views, staff is so friendly and will bend over backwards for you, and the rooms are gorgeous. We’ll definitely go back again. The only downside is backing out of your parking space kind of goes into the road so you got to be careful
My Husband and I stayed in Feb and May of 2025. We absolutely LOVE this place. The staff is amazing!!! Everyone is so friendly, nice and helpful. They make sure you have everything you need. The breakfast buffet is AMAZING along with the dessert and pizza. The view of the lake is breathtaking. The rooms make you feel like you are royalty! The bed was so comfortable!! I can’t wait til we go back!! I HIGHLY Recommend this place for a romantic getaway. Billy, Pam and the entire staff provide excellent customer service. I promise after 1 stay, you will be counting the days til you go back.
My husband and I celebrated our 50th Anniversary in the I Will Always Love You Suite. It was wonderful. A big breakfast every morning of huge biscuits and gravy, scrambled eggs, bacon, fried cinnamon apples, and grits. Every evening an amazing dessert. A beautiful sunset cruise on Douglas Lake. There is a fire pit you can enjoy. For us there was a remarkable full moon to add to the magic. Thank you to all the employees and Billy Inman who did everything to make our trip so special.
A beautiful view of Douglas Lake from every room. The people are super friendly and go out of their way to accommodate you.
A real nice 5 day 4 night trip, pet friendly resort. We arrived and got checked in & Erica showed us to our room. Then asked if we wanted pizza before the pontoon ride or after we got back. So a ride on the lake, pizza & dessert every day of your stay if you like. Breakfast in the morning with the owner Billy was very nice, always telling everyone he was honored to have us there. We took a pontoon ride 3 nights, all 3 were a different route on Douglas Lake. The whole staff was very friendly & helpful, we will definitely be back.
This quaint hotel on the shore of Douglas Lake is 29 miles from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and 5 miles from the 19th-century buildings in the town center.
