Almost Heaven 2 Lakefront Homes, Sleeps 14, Main Channel Douglas Lake, Smoky's
Almost Heaven on Douglas Lake — Two Pet-Friendly Lakefront Homes, One Unforgettable Getaway!
Why settle for one lake house when you can have two?
Welcome to Almost Heaven, a rare opportunity to book two charming, pet-friendly lakefront homes on one of the flattest, most accessible lots on Douglas Lake's main channel. Perfect for extended families, reunions, or multi-family vacations, this exceptional setup sleeps up to 14 guests comfortably and offers privacy, space, and unbeatable lake access — all in one place.
Located at the mouth of Muddy Creek and the Main Channel of beautiful Douglas Lake, Seventh Heaven and Next to Heaven can be rented separately — but when combined, they create a private lakefront retreat that's truly Almost Heaven.
Outdoor Highlights You'll Love:
One of the flattest rental lots on Douglas Lake
Private on-site boat launch (usable in summer at full pool)
Shared dock with pavilion + private docks
Spacious common area between homes — great for yard games or relaxing
Hot tubs at both homes
Grills and outdoor dining areas
Ample parking for boats and trailers
Stunning lake and Smoky Mountain views
Next to Heaven
Sleeps 8 across 3 bedrooms
1 Queen on main level w/ deck access
1 Queen on lower level w/ deck access
1 bedroom with 2 Queens
2 luxury bathrooms with tile/glass showers
3 outdoor living spaces
Game room, flat screen TVs, and fast WiFi
Full kitchen with dishwasher and breakfast bar

Seventh Heaven
Sleeps 6 across 2 main-level bedrooms + loft with Queen bed
2 full bathrooms on the main level
Wraparound deck with covered and open-air space

Full kitchen with dishwasher

Washer/dryer, ramp entry, and central HVAC
Location, Location, Location!
Just 45 minutes from Pigeon Forge and entrances to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, you're never far from hiking, shopping, and dining. Marinas and boat rentals are nearby, and if the private launch isn’t usable during your stay, a free, year-round public launch is just minutes away by land or water.
Important Notes:
No smoking indoors
Pets allowed (Pet fee applies per pet; please message us with number/size before confirming)
TVA-controlled lake: Water levels vary by season. These homes have year-round water frontage, but dock and launch usability may vary in the off-season. Always inquire if you have questions!
Book Early – Summer Fills Fast!
Almost Heaven is a Saturday-to-Saturday rental during peak summer, and availability goes quickly. Don’t miss your chance to enjoy lake life with your favorite people — with the space, privacy, and comfort to make memories that last.

About the host
Hosted by Lynda Maides
I have been renting homes on Douglas Lake since 1995. My company is licensed and has a 5 Star Rating. I own the original Smoky Mountain Lake on Douglas. Don't be fooled by any "Adventures" you see out there. That is not my company but, as they say, imitation is the best form of flattery. I look forward to having you as my valued guest. Lynda -Smoky Mountain Lake, LLC
Why they chose this property
I have been renting 7th Heaven and Next To Heaven now for many years, both singularly and as a combo. And, I love when one family or group can enjoy the two great properties together. Next to Heaven gives you the space and the Game Room, while 7th Heaven sits out on a large Flat Yard and offers room for your entire family to have fun together.
What makes this property unique
Flat lot. Easy Access. Main Channel. 6 bedrooms and 4 baths. Pet Friendly. Launch and Multiple Docks. Smoky Mountain Views.
