About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Lakefront with private dock, fire pit, arcade barrel and pool table.

“CRAZY BEAR COVE" is nestled in the Dandridge on Douglas Lake. It is situated on top of a hill and has access to your own private cove.


When you enter this 2700 square foot cabin, you will see the spacious great room with gorgeous vaulted wood ceilings and wood floors. This room offers a pool table, a large oversized comfy couch, a large flat screen TV with Blu-ray DVD (selection of DVD movies) for your enjoyment and complete cable package. For even more fun, there is a video game whiskey barrel table with 60 games, making the perfect place for socializing and making unforgettable memories!

The kitchen is very large with granite countertops, a full size refrigerator AND full size freezer, as well as a beverage fridge. There is a high bar with four bar stools and a large farmhouse table that can seat up to 10 people, accommodating your entire group for meals, conversation and fun! In the morning, enjoy a coffee from the complimentary coffee bar. From the kitchen, walk out the deck to start the gas grill or head down to the amazing fire pit to make S’mores and breathe in the fresh mountain air while gazing at the stars!

The master bedroom has a king bed, a flat screen TV, Blu-ray DVD player, couch and it’s own private bathroom. Walk out the master bedroom to the large screened-in porch with lots of comfortable seating. Enjoy your drinks on the Bistro table while having a view of the lake! The covered deck is especially nice if you get a little Tennessee rain.

The main level also offers two guest bedrooms, both with a king bed and a flat screen TV. Just outside each of the bedrooms, are two separate bathrooms with a shared shower/tub.

The beautiful loft overlooks the great room and sleeps 7, offering a bunk bed with a twin over queen, three twin beds and a twin trundle. Also, a TV area with video game port for kids to hang out (just bring your own game console).

You will find fun board games, card games, poker chips, and DVD's for your enjoyment along with high speed internet and 4/5 TVs have the largest Dish Network cable package. For those guests having to do some remote work we have a work zone station with a desk off the kitchen. Recently, hi-speed, fiber optic internet has been installed in the cabin. Please remember that you will be in the peaceful mountains and cell phone service can be spotty, however, the internet is fast and reliable!

Crazy Bear Cove is located about 35 minutes from Pigeon Forge, making it far enough away from the hustle and bustle, but close enough to enjoy the attractions of the area. The drive is a beautiful one and you may even see a black bear with her cubs. Other attractions in the area include Clingman’s Dome (the highest point in TN) about 1.5 hours, Cades Cove about 1 hour and 45 minutes and various hiking trials which offer a varying degree of difficulty, some offering paved paths, and view of waterfalls.

This cabin is highly maintained and loaded with amenities. It is the perfect spot anytime of the year! The home is perfect for 2-3 families to share making it extremely affordable! You will make unforgettable memories at Crazy Bear Cove! You’ll enjoy it so much you will want to make this your yearly, home away from home! We are located in a fairly private area with retired couples around us. It is a very quiet neighborhood and the home is best suited for those who enjoy the same atmosphere.


Douglas Lake sits at the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains with over 60 miles/about 30,000 acres of water and is rated as one of the top 10 lakes in the Country for bass fishing. You will find also Crappie, Catfish and Bluegill……
So bring your fishing poles!
In the off season, enjoy searching for "Douglas Diamonds."

The Cove seems like your own private playground. Our dock is the only in the cove so there is no need to worry about other boat traffic.

You will have your own floating dock with swim ladder and a private pier with comfortable Adirondack chairs to relax and chill! Summer water depth in the Cove is 10 to 15 feet deep. The walk down to the water is mostly stoned and in a zigzag pattern to assist with the steepness of the hill, however, this is a “walk” for some. Bring your boat or rent a boat from one of the local marinas.

Fantastic lakeside Smokey Mountain retreat
3 generations gathered here for a summer getaway that included boating, whitewater rafting, horseback riding, and rollercoaster riding—all from this secluded cabin. The accommodations are wonderful and it puts you right near all the “stuff” without being in the middle of all the people. The rooms are big and the beds are comfortable. The kitchen and grill were great for preparing our own meals. Bring your own water toys or use theirs! You’re all alone while you’re there and 30-40 minute drives gets you to any excursion. We loved it!

Amazing trip
Great stay. Beautiful cabin in a very private cove. It was a perfect escape. Very clean, the hosts were extremely accessible and accommodating, the property was great for swimming, fishing, kayaking, sitting by the fire pit, relaxing together to watch a movie. They have lots of fun games from video games to board games, a pool table, and more. Close enough for day trips to pigeon forge/gatlinburg area.

Car show weekend
The house was above expectations. Little nice added extra treats and snacks that the kids enjoyed. We were disappointed that the lake was low and couldn’t fish but other than that the house was perfect, me and my husband brought teenage boys up for the lowered car show and the separate rooms with the adjoining bathroom was nice. They liked the pool table with big tv and big couch in the living room. There was more than enough supplies for cooking in the kitchen, we wouldn’t have had to brought anything. We highly recommend!

End of summer trip
The property owners went above and beyond for our family. They know what kids like. The amenities of this house from the arcade, pool table to the provided canoes, were all fantastic. We enjoyed spending time on the screened in porch, around the fire pit and had a family movie night. Its been a month and our kids are ready to go back.

Private Cove Special Memories
Our family was thoroughly impressed with this cabin from our first step through the door. The hosts had special treats for our kids. The bedroom set up was perfect our family. We enjoyed time inside the cabin in the evenings and during the day in the private cove in the lake during the day. The location is perfect to drive and enjoy area attractions as well. Loved making special memories we won’t forget.

Awesome!!!
I really recommend booking Crazy Bear Cove!! It was amazing and blew our expectations. The lake behind the house is amazing. Had a lot of fun in the kayaks and was just an overall great experience. A lot to do around the area as well! Rented a pontoon at Douglass lake and it was super easy and affordable. Host had great communication and was very attentive the whole process. I’m already planning a trip back here soon!

Family Vacation
Family got together this year at Crazy Bear Cove at it was amazing. Darrin and Michelle were amazing host. The house had so much to keep everyone occupied, from games, to the lake, to the short drive to all of the near by attractions we enjoyed it all. We rented a pontoon boat for the week and docked it at the house, had the freedom to play on the lake or just swim in the back of the property. Darrin made sure we had everything we needed and stayed connected the entire trip, definitely made the trip a success for the family. The house has everything you need to from lake towels to coffee cups…..these guys have thought of everything and it’s there ready for you. We will definitely be returning to this hidden gem!

Great experience. Cabin is just as portrayed in listing. Owner/property manager had snacks and ingredients for s’mores for us, which was a nice touch. The water was really low during our stay. Steep trail down to the water. We really enjoyed the card games and fire pit.

Perfect house for families with teens
This was probably one of my favorite VRBO's. The home is great. Darrin and Michelle have made sure to make it homey and have everything you could need for a stay. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking. Nice pots and pans to cook on, plenty of plates, glasses, etc. If you have teens, this house is a must! We have 4 teens, (17 and 3 13yrs old) We were engaged as a family all week, without having anyone wondering off to the bedroom or to a basement or somewhere else. The family room has a pool table, checkers, an arcade game and plenty of card games. We could all be together while everyone played whatever they wanted. Darrin was great with communication. I would definitely stay here again.

Great place to relax
The cabin was clean and just as described. Extra hospitality touches (s’mores, fire changing color packets and various snacks) we’re icing on the cake! Drive to Pigeon Forge for activities is about half an hour on country roads and very pleasant. Scenery was relaxing, we enjoyed the grill, fire pit, and all the games as well. Internet is not super fast and cell reception was spotty for us. Not terrible as we didn’t come out here to work during our vacation. Overall this was a fantastic place and the hosts were very nice and accommodating.

A Great Lake Experience
Crazy Bear Cove was just about perfect. It was a great place to deliver us a great lake experience. The place itself was extremely clean and well kept. The pool table was fun and so was the fire pit. Our family enjoyed both. The walk down and back to the dock was a little challenging, but we got used to it, especially once we docked our rented boat there. The kitchen was terrific for cooking and entertaining. The cove was quiet and great for swimming too. And you couldn't find a nicer, more welcoming neighborhood. Same with the hosts - thank you so much for everything. All in all, we would truly consider staying here again.
