This house could not have been more perfect for this group with four generations of family. Plenty to do and space to do it in. Beautiful even in the winter without the lake activities. Location was good as a get quiet away as well as easy access to nearby events. Thank you to Sherri and Donn for facilitating!
Wonderful home right on the waterfront. We rented a pontoon boat Mon-Fri. from H2O sports.
I loved the family bedroom set up for each of our 3 children & their families. A very well stocked kitchen for cooking & large family table for meals. Swimming area was excellent for all age groups. The cove was excellent for kayaking & canoeing & just floating on rafts. Quiet neighborhood & very nice fire pit for roasting marshmallows. NICE set up for large family gathering.
Our stay at the newly renovated Douglas Lake home was fabulous! We needed a home with many beds, multiple bathrooms and fun things to do and this home did not disappoint. We were a group of 13 people from 2 families, ranging in age from 8 to 67 and we all had comfortable places to sleep, plenty of bathrooms so that no one needed to wait, ample table space to eat and visit, a fully loaded kitchen to prepare meals, a hot tub, firepit, grill, pool table, outdoor seating, an amazing view and so much more. It is located close to stores, hiking and offers family fun. Sherri and Donn are kind, friendly, available for questions and easy to work with. I highly recommend this memorable home and look forward to a time when we can go back and stay again.
We had such a wonderful time at this property. It fit our needs perfectly and everything was beautiful and nicely maintained. Would love to go back in the future. Thanks for everything!
What a perfect family gathering place! It was so beautiful
and great for large groups! We will definitely be going
back next year! The hosts were wonderful to deal with!
I highly recommend this house!

The house was beautiful and as pictured. The Sunroon and back porch were some of our familys favorite places to hang out. The amenities were great and in working order. There was a gradual slope to the dock which made it easy to access our boat rental. Sherri and Donn My family and I enjoyed our time at Hoss Cove and created life long memories while there.
This was a wonderful home for our 7 family members coming together from 3 states to meet. We had jet skis and the cove with its own launch was a huge plus. Very quiet with a lot of privacy. Outdoor Pool table tournaments, fire pit, and cooking out was wonderful each evening. Lots of space and outdoor areas to enjoy. We loved it!!
Hoss cove was excellent! The home was very clean and has been modernized. It is obvious the owners take pride in their awesome home. The home had very good amenities which made a great home even better. I brought the boat and Kayaks. The entire family enjoyed the vacation!! Looking forward to a return visit.
I typically rent cabins near GSMNP for our family vacations, but this lake house was a hit with all my family members! My elderly Mom has mobility issues and she was able to enjoy all the outdoor activities vicariously through us. We stayed outside for the majority of our visit. The boat launch next to the property was so convenient! We loved that the walk to the lake wasn't too steep & we enjoyed the floating dock, swing, hammock, hot tub & firepit. This home has everything and we will be visiting again!
This place was AMAZING!!! Way better than the pictures show and it was so clean! Everything we needed was already there except for the groceries. The beds are SO comfy, bathrooms are super spacious and there's PLENTY of sleeping, eating, relaxing room for 12. The hot tub was awesome and the location in the cove couldn't be more perfect. I will and do ABSOLUTELY recommend this property to any one looking for a vacation spot in or around Dandridge, Pigeon Forge, Sevierville and Gatlinburg. So much to do on the lake or within a short drive. We will definitely be back!!
We stayed at this property for about 9 days! Pictures don’t do this lake house justice a lot bigger then what it looks! We got 4-5 inches of snow on Christmas they had a tree up for us! They have everything you need in a kitchen pots pans cookie sheets brought some just in case and didn’t need them they have big and little ones! We comfortably slept 12 people! Sherri response very quickly with any questions HIGHLY recommended can’t wait to book another vacation at this lake house in the summer!
The house was amazing as well as the view of the lake. Very clean and easy check in. Very quite and private. We enjoyed the pool table and hot tub. Bedrooms were big and comfortable. Saw a bald eagle fly over while there twice. House had everything we needed. The outdoor patio was very nice.
Thank God when they say no pets it means no pets! My two children could breath and they are allergic to mold as well, so No mold either. The place was clean and full of amenities (including cling wrap). We are talking about making this a yearly spot! You'll love this place!!! Great for handicapped people as my husband uses his wheelchair most of the time and he didn't want to leave. Thank you for doing such a great job making our stay amazing!!!
We had a great time at Hoss Cove! Big enough for everyone to have their own privacy, the outdoor deck and patio is where we spent most of our evenings, was perfect! We explored, swam and floated in rafts right off the dock, rented a pontoon boat for a portion of our stay, hiked, white water rafting, cooked out and relaxed....was a great time!
We had a family of 8 adults and the home was a perfect fit. The amenities were plentiful and the view is breathtaking, especially the sunrises.
The one recommendation I had was stepping stones to the dock, which the owners are already planning.
The dock bumpers were a huge time saver for us because we didn't have to pull out all of ours and tie more than 1 or 2 up.
Do bring your own beach towels and safe drinkware for the lake, which we did.
This property was perfect for what we wanted. Quiet and secluded. Away from hustle and bustle.
The home was clean, well stocked. Beds were comfortable. Decorated tastefully. Outdoor amenities were great. Pool table grill, fire pit, dock. And view was amazing. We had a great time.
Everything about this property is a WOW. The only thing that concerned me was the tight & curvy road to get there! Clean & cute. Very beautiful sunrise & sunset. Bring bug sprays. So family friendly! Tons of firewood. Hot tub was clean! House is just absolutely adorable.
The house was very clean and as pictured. The fires in the surrounding areas did not hinder anything we wanted to do, and we didn't smell the fire either. We visited while the water levels at the lake was down, so we did not do any of the water activities( this was made clear before booking). Even with the water levels being down because of the timeframe we visited, the view on the lake was nice and we enjoyed the sunrises and sunsets on the lake. There was plenty of games and movies in the home to keep my littles occupied. I would suggest adding a TV in one of the other bedrooms other than the master. We explored Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge most of the days and the ride was about 30 to 40 minutes away. We also had a good time roasting marshmallows over the fire pit and the hot tub was LOVE!! Overall our stay was great and we plan to visit again in the summer when the water levels are higher so that we can fish, go swimming, and go jet skiing.
Beautiful home. Owners always responded to my questions quickly. Home had everything that was needed. Perfect for my family of all ages. Would definitely come back.
My family and I stayed here for a Christmas vacation. The house was perfect! Our group consisted of 8 adults and 3 kids and we all were very comfortable and had space. Additionally, the house is in a great location! Not only is it in a quiet spot but it is only 30 minutes away from Dollywood. Sherri was very responsive to any questions I had once we were in the house and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook various meals. Lastly, the house was beautiful with tons of updates. My family and I agreed that we would want to stay there again, it was a great place to stay!
This was my first VRBO and it was a wonderful experience! It was so nice that we could all be together in a true home. The host was very informative and made the process very easy. The home was lovely and definitely felt like home.
Property was very well equipped, spacious, and clean. There were only 6 of us, but could be at full capacity and not feel cramped. Location on the cove was just beautiful.
