The space
There are SO MANY amazing things about this home, I will just list a few.
LAKEFRONT
The back of this house has a big, tree covered (for shade), mowed, backyard that butts directly to the lake. It is a gradual, easy, gentle slope to walk.
SWIMMING & BOATING
This property is perfect for swimming as the water becomes gradually deeper as you enter (Great for young kids). The shore and lake do not have weeds!
Down by the swimming area is the new aluminum dock that stretches over 80' into the water!
Attached to the dock is a jet-ski port with rollers that will keep your ski out of the water when not in use! You simply drive up on it.
The dock also features a platform to lay out in the sun, 4 (COMPLIMENTARY) kayaks for your use (on racks) and a swim ladder for those who choose to jump in!
The outdoor box on the lower back porch contains (COMPLIMENTARY) lawn chairs, life jackets, paddles & swim noodles for your use. There are even fishing poles and tackle for you to use.
BOAT LAUNCH
There are several boat launches in the area including the neighborhood launch that is just down the street a mile (directions are in the digital guest book).
PRIVACY
This home is secluded with woods on 3 sides! The mountain and lake views are amazing!
OUTDOOR FIREPIT
The firepit is located in the back yard overlooking the lake and has 8 surrounding chairs. The pit is naturally shaded by tall trees.
You will find 20 sticks of (COMPLIMENTARY) firewood in the box next to the firepit to get you started.
In the house, by the indoor fireplace you will find a bucket that contains (COMPLIMENTARY) roasting sticks and a few other campfire items for your use.

IMPORTANT: (MUST READ)
Kayaks are seasonal & are provided ONLY WHEN THE LAKE IS BOATABLE. Experience seems to indicate that there is usually boatable water to the dock from around the middle of April until mid to mid-September.
Note: Douglas Lake is a TVA impoundment of the French Broad River, and TVA lowers the water level during the fall and winter months. No guarantees can, or will, be given as to available water levels. Historical water level charts are available online. Experience seems to indicate that there is usually boatable water to the dock from around the middle of April until mid to mid-September.
