PLEASE NOTE: Weather, precipitation levels, TVA power needs and other factors cause fluctuations in lake levels throughout the year, particularly from September to early May. Jackson Mountain Rentals and VTrips are not responsible for lake conditions and levels nor their effects on stationary docks, floating docks, or recreational activities such as swimming, boating or fishing.

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.

A wonderful cabin with lots of room for family to spread out and a nice quiet dock for the kids to fish from.

The only negative thing about our whole trip was that the upstairs bathtub, the plug was broken so you couldn’t use the jacuzzi tub, and the ping pong table was broken so that was unable to be used also. However, we took our family and some of our kids friends (10 people total) and the cabin slept all of us very comfortably! We had an amazing trip and enjoyed being right on the lake! Beautiful cabin and everything was very nice!

The cabin is beautiful. The location is great too. Waking up there was truly breathtaking, however, we had issues as soon as we arrived and getting a hold of the owner and/or company managing the property was nearly impossible. The water sink and shower water reeked and soon the house started to smell too. The heater worked when it wanted. The home was in disarray when we got there too. Not enough bath towels, paper towels, and toilet paper for 14 people for almost 5 days, we had to purchase our own. Our stay would definitely been better if we didn’t have all of these issues.
