You’ll be right on the Douglas Lake waterfront when you vacation at Moonside Retreat, an authentic log cabin with 260 feet of shoreline. The cabin has its own boat dock that’s accessed by a wide steep path. If you’re swimming in the cove, you can climb up the ladder to return to the dock and jump in again. With two large decks, a patio and dock, you’ll have plenty of places to enjoy the great outdoors and your beautiful view.

Moonside Retreat’s open-floor plan brings kitchen, living and dining areas together in one big open space. A cathedral ceiling draws your eyes to the gleaming pine walls, the many windows with exceptional lake views and the fireplace. Lie back in the comfortable furniture and watch the fire along with your favorite programs playing on the large TV. You also have free Wi-Fi within Moonside Retreat so you can send vacation photos home to friends.

You have a well-equipped kitchen ready to help you feed your friends and family. There’s also a gas grill downstairs on the patio and a charcoal grill on the main floor deck (bring your own charcoal). Few things smell better than the aroma of steaks cooking in the fresh air.

When you’ve hiked, biked, boated and swam during the day, your group will be ready for a good rest. The primary bedroom includes a TV perfectly positioned for late-night viewing. This bedroom also has an en suite bathroom with a large jetted soaking tub and a walk-in shower. There are two additional bedrooms, each with a TV and a comfortable bed. Guests staying in these bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. Guests can also sleep in the daybed/trundle in the loft and in the built-in bunks by the stairs.

There’s a second living room with TV and comfortable furniture downstairs so your group can fully spread out. As a special convenience, you’ll also find a washer and dryer within Moonside Retreat. You’ll have a relaxing, fun-filled vacation along Douglas Lake when you reserve Moonside Retreat for your next vacation.

We had a wonderful stay at this home. The online description mentioned a hot tub, however there was not any hot tub available. Lots of space and three exterior decks and a large patio. We really enjoy the well equipped kitchen. The lake was not at full level but still enjoyable. Fantastic views! We will definitely recommend this home and Jackson Rentals to others.

The property was very nice and quiet. The dock and the lake were awesome, though a lot of steps down to the dock. Only complaint is the TVs in all bedrooms are only dvd accessible and no dvds provided. The biggest issue we had was only one outside trash can and animals tore into the trash every night and scattered everywhere. Would recommended better trash options.

We had a great time at Moonside retreat! The cabin was clean and just what you would picture sitting in the mountains of TN. Everyone had an amazing time. We were able to tie our boat to the boat dock without an issue. The kids enjoyed swimming and tubing! The road leading up to the house and the driveway were a little tricky hauling a boat trailer but we did it and everyone will remember our vacation together for years to come. The property management group was very responsive to all my questions.

We enjoyed our stay. We had a large group of 13 and everyone had their own bed. The cabin was clean and decorated nicely. The walk to the lake was what you would expect, lots of steps, but they were not steep. The dock was nice, we had a nice place to dock our boat and the kids could swim.If you are coming with a large group prepare to wash your towels daily. There was a raccoon that got in the trash nightly despite it being in the trash bin, a better bin or way to lock it would be great. Overall it was a great place.
