Rustic Lakefront Home w/ Beach!
Summary: Fully immerse yourself in the vintage glory of this 3-bedroom retreat aptly named Back in Time.
The Space: You’ll be surrounded by the wooded landscape even while indoors, with floor to ceiling wood paneling immersing you in secluded cabin vibes. Located on the shores of picturesque Douglas Lake, you’ll have access to sweeping lake views and a beach with private dock for all the water-themed recreation you can imagine. Enjoy a cozy fire under the stars at the firepit with outdoor seating or head to the covered gazebo to enjoy a meal al fresco or a serene afternoon nap in the hammock. Up on the home’s partially shaded deck, you’ll find even more relaxing seating options, where you can spend lazy afternoons passing the time reading a book or enjoying casual conversation. If you’re for an adventure, a day trip to Pigeon Forge might just be in your plans, and there are several entertaining stops to take along the way during the half hour drive down.
Indoors, the home has preserved an antique charm in its furnishings and décor, and you’ll love the feeling of a more simple time even while enjoying all the modern amenities you’d expect to find. Curl up in the living room on the sofa and recliner seating, streaming that movie you’ve been saving on the smart TV. In the next room, the formal dining area can seat 6 at the country chic table, with an additional 4 high-top stools at the kitchen island. Speaking of the kitchen, you’ll find it fully equipped with all major appliances, with cookware and dining ware on hand for you to whip up delicious homecooked meals whenever you choose. The competitive among you will be delighted to find the game room complete with bumper pool and foosball tables, ready to host hours of fun.

Our stay started out very rocky. No AC, people showing up unannounced, poor communication about timing for service. The lake is great, and the house was nice enough. ½ the plugs are 2 prong so keep that in mind and the cabin is OLD, like glass fuses. But it could have been worse, and the Lake access made it better. Once the AC got working, everything we needed for the rest of the week was good.

A lot of things needed updated, towel rack in bathroom room busted on check-in. Dishwasher falling out of the cabinets and not secured. Few light bulbs not working. Smoke detectors missing in rooms. Visible signs of previous water damage. Dryer vents into main part of the house. Location is great and beautiful. Back yard and Gazebo amazing. Very comfortable beds. Property just needs TLC and lots of updates.

Nostalgiclake cabin
We had a wonderful family vacation at Back in Time. The 4 us ( 21 and 24 kids) loved the nostalgia of the lake house and thoroughly enjoyed all the Elvis decor. The name Back in Time is a perfect description of the house, it was like spending a week in the past in simpler times when everything was a little less rushed. The views of the lake are amazing to wake up to, and the water is gorgeous! We could have spent all day in the water, but we were also busy with all the attractions in Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, and hiking (all about an easy 30 min away). Advice if going with little kids, the walkway to the lake is a steep walk and the dock has loose boards that we tripped over a few times. But that was the only issue while there! Was so nice not to have to bring sheets and towels and the beds were made when so got there!! That made me a happy mama! Check out was very easy and communication was immediate. We loved our week at Back in Time and the memories we made were priceless.
