Lake Access Cabin • Quiet Setting Near Town
Moonside Retreat is a classic Smoky Mountains cabin tucked away near Douglas Lake, ideal for guests who want a quieter, more relaxed stay without being in the middle of the tourist chaos. This rustic 3-bedroom cabin comfortably sleeps up to 12 guests and is well suited for families, multi-family groups, or friends traveling together who want space, flexibility, and a peaceful setting near the water.
One of the home’s most unique features is its direct lake access—a set of stairs behind the cabin leads down to a channel of Douglas Lake, making it easy to spend time by the water, fish, or simply enjoy the lakeside atmosphere. During the summer months, the property also offers seasonal lake views through the trees, adding to the experience while staying honest about visibility.
Inside, the cabin features cozy living spaces on both levels, including a main living area with a gas fireplace and comfortable seating. The kitchen is fully equipped for preparing meals and includes both a Keurig pod machine and a drip coffee maker. Sleeping arrangements include a king bedroom upstairs, two queen bedrooms on the lower level, a downstairs trundle bed, and sleeper sofas on both the upper and lower levels, allowing the home to comfortably accommodate larger groups without feeling crowded.
Located away from busy parkway traffic but still within easy driving distance of Sevierville, dining, and area attractions, Moonside Retreat is a great choice for guests who value peace, lake access, and a true cabin feel while remaining close to everything the Smokies have to offer.
