🏞️ Sticks Creek | 11 Acres Near Douglas Lake + Creek + Hot Tub 🎣
Why You'll Love It Here: * Set on 11 private acres with a creek running through the property, fishing right out the back door * Private hot tub plus a wood fire pit with seating, ideal for evenings outdoors * Indoor shuffleboard table, a rare amenity in this market * Just 5 minutes to Douglas Lake for boating, swimming, and lake-day activities * Pre-arrival coupon book with dozens of discounts for top area attractions * Professionally Managed by Avada Properties
The Cabin: Sticks Creek is a newly built 3-bedroom cabin set on 11 private acres in the Douglas Lake area, the kind of property where the land itself is the amenity. The open main level pairs a fireplace and plush leather seating with a fully equipped kitchen and a large dining table that fits the whole group. A smart TV anchors the living room, and an indoor shuffleboard table makes the cabin a real hangout when the weather isn't cooperating. Outside is where the property really earns its name: a creek you can fish from, a wide outdoor deck with rocking chairs, a porch swing, a sectional couch, and a fire pit with seating. Wild blackberries grow on the property in season.
Where You'll Be: Tucked into 11 private acres in the Douglas Lake area, far enough out to feel genuinely off-grid while still within easy reach of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg attractions. Douglas Lake is just 5 minutes from the door for boating, fishing, and lakeside relaxation. Pigeon Forge attractions, Dollywood, and the Gatlinburg parkway are all a short drive away.

Stayed for a few nights for a destination wedding in Gatlinburg. Everything was spectacular! The location was perfect—just close enough to downtown Sevierville and Pigeon Forge, but far enough too not be in all the traffic!
This was a fantastic place to stay for our trip to Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and the Smoky Mountains. About twenty to forty minutes to get to most of the attractions, very quiet and secluded. Not sure that the views were very extensive (mostly of the hill in front of the property on the other side of the road), but the entire property is hidden from the road altogether--we enjoyed being back in the trees a bit! The property is about a ten minute drive to Lake Douglas Dam--lots to do there with fishing, swimming, pontoon and kayak rentals, etc. We would definitely stay here again!
Hey James! Thanks for the review, I'm glad you enjoyed your stay at Sticks Creek. The Smokies are indeed beautiful. You're always welcome back for another stay. See you soon!
The cabin was beautiful its the best of both worlds you have the peace and quite yet the hustle and bustle 15 minutues away if you want we had a great time.
This was a great hidden gem in the Smokies! We enjoyed our stay and the hot tub was an added bonus! It fit 6 adults comfortably! The location was great, close to all the things while also having some quiet/privacy!
Wonderful home and property with everything you want and need for 2 family’s totaling 9 people from infant to adults Perfect getaway all around. 5 star property
This place was EXACTLY what we were looking for! Secluded and private but still located in close proximity to all the shops, restaurants and attractions. Beautiful cabin with plenty of room for the kids.
Laura, Thank you so much for your kind review! I'm glad to hear that you and your family enjoyed your stay at Sticks Creek. It's always nice to take a break and relax in the mountains. We hope to have you back for another visit in the future!
We were here for 4 nights. This was the best VRBO we have ever stayed in! The pictures don't do justice to the house or the property. We will definitely be back!
We loved staying at this cabin! Our kids enjoyed exploring the property and even saw turkeys. It was a perfect size for our family. We relaxed in the hot tub and enjoyed playing all the games that were provided. We would definitely stay there again!
Hi Deanna, Thanks for the awesome feedback! Thrilled your family enjoyed the cabin and the fun turkey sightings. Knowing it was a perfect fit and you had a relaxing time warms my heart. We'd love to host you again for more good times whenever you're ready. Feel free to reach out anytime!
Property was beautiful with own private drive. We really enjoyed the full kitchen for our Thanksgiving Holiday. Grill and hot tub location was perfect.
Hi Gwen! I appreciate your review of Sticks Creek. I'm glad you liked the full kitchen, grill, and ideal location of the hot tub. It's my pride to offer a comfortable and inviting home away from home. I'm delighted you chose our place for Thanksgiving, and I hope you'll consider returning in the future. Thank you for your visit!
Couldn't ask for a better place. Everything was so clean the property was amazing. Justin was great, check to see how things were going. It was nice being away from the downtown.
The cabin was perfect for our family vacation. It was a very cozy and comfortable place to stay. My mom said it was ghe best she had slept in a long time. None of us were ready to leave. We also plan on clming back, sometime.
This was such a great property, it feels bigger on the inside. It was cozy and very clean. We would definitely stay here again. Our family had a great time at Dollywood, Soaky Mountain waterpark, riding go karts, lots of putt putt, Ober Mountain fun, mountain coasters and hiking at the national park! We packed in the fun and even enjoyed soaking in the hot tub back at the house after a long day of making memories.
