Pioneer Trading Post lakefront cabin - Douglas Lake - Smoky Mountains

Step back in time at the secluded, historic Pioneer Trading Post. This is a genuine slice of real Appalachian history. This is not is not your typical “Cabin Rental.” The Pioneer is living record of a people, a land and their colorful ways. The pioneer is located in a secluded and rural setting on beautiful Douglas Lake in Sevierville, TN. just off Hwy 66. Skip the traffic and take the back roads to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg.

The dovetail log buildings are typical of those found on the eastern frontier in the mid-1850s, and reflect the skills and techniques brought to the mountains by descendants of British and European immigrants. Built in the early 1830’s and moved to its new location in 1969. The house is 3200 square ft. one level with ramps, and is accessible for the elderly or handicapped.

The home sits upon a 4 acre peninsula surrounded by calming waters of the lake. The house has been renovated with emphasis on hand-hewn and home-made. You will find early American chestnut walls and ceilings, vintage oak and heart pine floors, spinning wheels, church pews and butter churns, pie safes, and cedar chests and family antiques throughout, yet with all the amenities of plush modern living with the feel of a real turn of the century frontier cabin.

The cabin offers 4 beautifully decorated country-chic bedrooms, each with their own special charm and appeal. Add to that 100% cotton sheets, feather pillows and hand stitched quilts for the feel you only get at Granny’s house.

There is also a screened in sleeping porch with an antique 3/4 bed and a sitting area… a family favorite.

The kitchen is a chef’s dream with a 6 burner gas stove, a full range of modern cookware, stainless steel refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, Carrera marble counter tops and a 7’ antique porcelain sink.

The dining room seats 8 people at a black walnut harvest table. There is additional seating at the kitchen island. There is also an outdoor kitchen with additional food prep and grilling area including extra refrigerator and an oak harvest table which seats ten.

The house hosts 4 bathrooms. There is a large, modern two- person shower, three claw footed tubs with showers, two outdoor showers and a 6 person hot tub over looking the lake.

Enjoy the foot-trail that wraps around the woodland property and lovely landscaping with many secluded sitting areas with swings and hammocks to sit or lay back and take a load off. There is a fire pit as well as a yoga/ camping platform.

The cabin is ideal for the most memorable family occasions, small intimate wedding site, company retreat or just the two of you. Come, sit relax and watch the sun set on the grand old front porch. Everyone’s welcome here at the Pioneer.

This home is close to Sunrise Cove if you need an additional home to house your party.
